My new favorite local columnist, Barry Lewis. Check out his column on the Big Dance, his son and the Mets here.
Also, I want his son to blog here on the Mets. I think he'd be awesome! But then...hang on, I might lose my job.......let me rethink that....
;-)
Remember my big radio debut on the ESPN/PA station? Eddie Walker, Edsel's show was cancelled! I hope it wasn't anything I said...sorry Edsel! I told you not to make me use statistics!
Could it get any worse? Last place in the NCAA picks, last place Mets in spring training and now Edsel's gone!
Quick, someone sing that song about the ant and the rubber tree....quick!
High hopes! We've got high hopes! Hi apple pie in the sky hopes! (Be greatful you're not hearing this live).
I like the columnist. He remembers Choo Choo Coleman. I actually saw Coleman play for the Mets AAA team in Portsmouth, Va. when I was very young. Not a great talent, but a fun name.
And speaking of not a great talent for the Mets, but fun, whatever happened to George Theodore?
Don't worry about your Mets. I'm sure whatever needs they have will be solved by a mid-season trade with the Pirates (remember, I'm not laughing out loud right now).
And certainly, Oliver "Twist" Perez will take over and become the ace that he started out to be in Pittsburgh. Even though he's lost his fastball...and couldn't hit blubber if he were in a fist fight with Rosie O'Donnell.
The important thing is to remember that I'm not laughing.
Dudski, I'm grateful. = ) He's a good writer...love his random topics, too. His mother, mentioned in a few columns, reminds me of what I'll likely become when I'm older. Handing out coupons at the supermarket. Having conversations with strangers. Hey, wait, I do that now...hm.
*Googles George Theodore* Apparently, he's a youth baseball coach now..and with that broken hip from long ago...I suspect he could sub as a weatherman.
Ultra, yes, yes I am concerned. Mets fans are keeping a stiff upper lip about the (lack of) pitching and are hoping the bats will come through...for 4 of the 5 days in the rotation. The core group is still there...let's see how they do in April. Or May. Then ask me again.
Sports doesn't have to be all numbers and stats and testosterone! I'll share a slightly different angle on sports.
I'm a mom in New York. Go Mets, Jets, Knicks and Rangers.
