A Kindred Spirit Remembers The Japanese Greg Maddux
Ah…what a pleasure to see this post http://metsmerizedonline.com/2008/11/im-still-reeling-from-the-japa.html.
The “Japanese Greg Maddux” is one of the founding blocks of Mets Police venom. You may recall that the Mets got in a Japanese fetish mode where instead of signing the real free agents they would sign Japanese knockoffs. The metsmerizedonline link has a full fledged rant, so I’ll go back to my day job.
Omar Loves Old Guys
Mets need a closer.
Trevor Hoffman, 41, needs a job.
Omar loves old guys.
It can’t be any worse than last year’s bullpen.
I don’t like signing old guys but hey lets go for it.
Cool Article About the 1973 Season
I stumbled across this:
Manager Danny Ozark said that you could “throw a blanket” over four or five teams in the East (NY, Pgh, Chi, StL, and Chi). The Phils slipped out from under the blanket on the losing side. Peeking just a nose above the others were the Mets, who then took on the mighty Cincinnati Reds in the NLCS. Certain baseball happenings are inexplicable. The Mets NLCS win over the Reds in ’73 is one of those, although, as they say, anything can happen in a short series.
That’s one paragraph in an entire article about the 70’s, on what looks to be a cool blog.
Check it out here.
