Baseball Digest Radio Show

Remember Baseball Digest? Wasn’t that just the greatest thing ever when you were a kid? Well baseball-wise anyways. I learned a lot about the rules from that magazine.

Anyways, they have a radio show. I would have sent this earlier but they sent the release last night at 9:52pm when 99% of sports fans were watching something on NBC. (Sorry Digest I love you but can’t start pulling punches now).

Anyway you can listen on the archives.

Perez Back, Team Still No Better than ’08, Manny March 2

A little busy being Clark Kent today. Quick hits:

Ollie, three years, $36M. Good. I like Ollie. However if you accept my premise that Wagner/K-Rod is a wash, the team is basically no better than the 2008 team that couldn’t beat the Phillies.

And Million Manny March 2 is Thursday. Whoever is organizing this I assume you do google alerts on yourself, please contact me so we can share the info!

Million Manny March 2
New York Daily News, NY – 22 hours ago
Assuming Manny Ramirez doesn’t sign with the Dodgers before Thursday at 7 pm, the spirited group that staged a demonstration outside of SNY’s studios during …

Citi storm still out there

I’d love to write about a baseball game or an interesting transaction, but there continues to be nothing happening so all I have for you is tales of naming rights.

Newsday is on the change the name kick.

It’s easy to call it something else. It’s even easy to take the big letters down. Isn’t there a Citi logo on the end of half of the seat rows? That sounds like a lot.

And if not Citi what should they call it? Mets Field? Jackie Robinson The Dodger Stadium? Ebbetts Field?

I’d love New Shea, but we’ll wind up in Gatorade Stadium in a few years anyway. Might as well keep the Citi name but allow them to restructure the deal so they don’t have to pay the Mets right now.

Highlights from last week

I usually do this on Sunday but (a) I posted 5 or 6 new things yesterday and (b) figured you were watching football. This week we had a lots of non-Mets stuff but I can only write about Manny Ramirez so many times.

The Curse of Lee Mazzilli was the most popular article, thanks to a link from Mets Blog.

Joe Torre’s book has dominated sports-talk. The complete Larry King CNN interview is over on the left-hand panel of Mets Police.

Many folks checked in to read about the Million Manny March which I thought was underpromoted, but a good idea.

Yesterday when everyone was in football mode, we wrote about Save The Islanders! and a scary warning about tickets from the Yankees.

Folks love looking at pics of New Yankee Stadium. Also here and here .

Football fans may be interested about a Proposed Change to NFL Overtime , and of course the Steelers won the Super Bowl!
