From the Daily News.

Wow there’s a lot to this guy:

Dickey’s Christian faith, and the outreach that results from it, is a key element. In the late 1990s, he and a friend founded Honoring the Father, which began as a platform to speak to youth groups and implement community service projects. After a few years, they began traveling to Mexico and Venezuela to deliver medical and baseball supplies, and help build homes. About five years ago, they applied for and received special religious visas allowing them to enter Cuba, where they travel about once a year.

Good morning Mets fans,

It’s all quiet in Flushing. The Internet is quiet which means Adam Rubin will score big with part 2 of his Meet the Mess series.

Days like these are when crazy ideas sometimes cut through so I will float one:

Howie Rose should do a game alone.

Why?

Why not.

Howie is the best in the business this side of Vin Scully, and Vin works alone – so why not let Howie try it?

Just give Wayne a day off.

Make an event out of it.

…

This season feels endless. For the first time in a long long time I find myself searching for things to write about. Without the storylines of old stadium/new stadium things are just boring.

There’s just nothing to be excited about right now, and there are still 5 weeks to go.

The good news is that I have been doing this long enough to know that these are the days when major Mets chaos tends to erupt. Don’t be surprised to see an Omar vs Rubin type story from nowhere appear.

Here’s a little something I made.

My goal is to capture the eternal optimism of the old promotional films, not to dump on the 2007 season – it just seemed a good place to start.

I’m a newbie at making this sort of thing, and it would be better with someone doing a Bob Murphy voiceover  – if anyone does a good Murph let me know!  Who knows, maybe some creative force out there can take this concept and run with it.
