You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein

Has anybody here heard from Drew since the game thread this week...

… where everyone was giving him crap as Soriano crapped the bed?

I hope he didn’t leave for any serious period of time… we need the play by play!

Often, at work it is very beneficial.

I try to listen to Pat and Ron, but i spend a lot of time on conference calls or with people around me droning on, and i can’t have the radio going.

Santo says it best

He gets infuriated (this is not the only thing that he gets angry about, I know) by wasting situations where we have a runner on third and less than two outs. At first I was just as angry, and now it’s like watching Miles bat, I just anticipate it going badly

"If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me." ~ Leo Durocher

Okay, all due respect to Al,

but while the PLAYERS might not have given up on the season, it certainly appears Lou has. A lineup with Blanco, Fuld, and Scales? (batting second)

Unless people are hurt, that’s a pretty ridiculously poor offensive lineup

by Illicat on Sep 6, 2009 12:38 PM CDT reply actions  

Chill bra

Lou can’t play starters every single game. They have to have days off. Plus this is a bad Mets team.
