You're right about Mookie. Sorry, I should have included him. I like Bobby V but I don't know that he was a better manager than Davey Johnson. DJ was tasked with keeping all of those massive, partying egos in check & on task and he does have the 1986 Championship on his resume. Nobody since him has one, including BV. If one wanted to argue that Bobby V "got more out of his teams", I don't think I would argue that point. It's a valid thought and certainly open for debate. They were both good in their own right. Bobby certainly gets the edge in moustaches. 😉 😂

Yeah, that was laughable. Doc, Daryl, Keith, 'Nails'...they were all cokeheads &/or booze hounds. 'Kid' & Knight were about the only 'holy rollers' of the bunch.

Yeah, my comment was more a tongue-in-cheek reference to his antiquated approach of thinking that you can still win with defense and a 'three yards and a cloud of dust' offense in today's NFL. I hope he never changes his approach and is there another 10 years.

@Gugny @SinceThe70s I tuned in for a few minutes of the Marlins @ Philthies game in the 7th. Wheeler had been owning them up until that point and exited after 6 2/3 and allowing a run that inning with runners on base. It still irritates me that the 'Coupons' let him walk. His contract was not outrageous and he would be a very good two or three for the Mets right now. A little before your time @Another Fan but the only teams that come to mind for me might be the Davey Johnson teams of the mid-1980s. It's still disappointing that those squads only won a single World Series. The 1985 team was really, really good but finished 3 games behind a 101 win St. Louis Cardinals team: 1984: 90-72 (2nd in NL East) 1985: 98-64 (2nd in NL East) 1987: 92-70 (2nd in NL East)

They have huge problems. He was hardly the only reason. They play a lot of zone and he's only really suited for man-to-man. He was a square peg in a round hole.

Belicheat probably thinks he need another RB more than a QB or WR...

The Chargers defense is trash and in need of help yet they're still trading him. Pretty much sums up how underwhelming he has been for them.

I rest my case.

'Fireman Fraud'

IMO, the only path forward for Vientos is as part of a DH platoon. I don't see a position for him other than to occasionally spell the regulars at 1B or 3B.

I think Mauricio's future is partially tied to Baty's development. If Baty pans out as the 3B then Mauricio is the 2B. If Baty bombs then Mauricio assumes the mantel at 3B. While I am not sure of Baty at this point, I have a hard time not seeing Mauricio on the roster to start the season. Baty is going to have to have a helluva off season and Spring Training, IMO. I wouldn't mind seeing him play winter ball.

@Gugny Agree that Buck was part of the problem but not the number one culprit. There were a myriad of reason that this team spit the bit. Losing Diaz before the season even started, Eppler, Buck, Scherzer & Verlander, Lindor's horrible first half, other integral vets who were invisible in the first half, an overworked and not talented enough bullpen, having to rely on rookies earlier than wanted...the list goes on and on. I'm neither happy nor sad to see Buck go but I am excited to see what the future with Stearns and a new skipper might bring and I wish Buck the best, truly. Whether coming off of a good year or a bad year, I love the 'Hot Stove' season. I'm ready to move on and look towards the future. BTW, I'm still on cloud nine after the squishing and thorough gutting of the fish today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and the coming week, friends.

That is correct. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/dolphins-jaelan-phillips-ruled-out-for-week-4/#:~:text=Phillips (oblique) will not play,four weeks into the season.

Poyer will be out Offense needs to score at will Shootout on the way

Time to Rapp them in the mouth...

Bills must win this game And let the fish know one thing East still goes thru us

Fish loaded on O Shuffling to Buffalo Bills must outscore them

It was great meeting you today and it was very easy to spot you in that blue 'Maid of The Mist' poncho. Nice call. No need to apologize to anyone for your English...it is excellent! Glad you got to see a great win surrounded by so many Bills fans. Safe travels to NYC and then back to Argentina, my friend. 😎 🇦🇷 GO BILLS!!!

Not with the price of gas and I am not a pilot...although I play one on TV...so flying him back is out. If I can procure a row boat, I'll see what I can do. I will be in a long sleeve blue Bills shirt & tan khaki shorts. 😁

We're right there...Row 11. 😎

You're correct. We're taking the Metro in from Springfield. Our final stop is about 9/10 of a mile from CrapEx Field. I did the same several years ago for a Bills preseason game there. The walk wasn't bad but it was a beautiful day. Tomorrow may be a different story.

I hate that stadium but will be going anyway with my two sons and a good friend who is a Washington fan but not a diehard like my sons and I are with the Bills. I took him to a Bills game in Orchard Park several years ago and he loved it. He is happy for us when the Bills win (tomorrow aside). We'll be in Section 426

My aunt (Dad's sis) and uncle live in Jamestown. We go up to visit them every 4th of July and go to the fireworks show at the Dunkirk Marina on Lake Erie every year. She and my dad grew up on West 7th Street in Dunkirk and I remember walking the less than 2 miles up Brigham Road to Lake Shore Drive to see the fireworks when I was a kid. Point Gratiot Beach and the Dunkirk Lighthouse were just a stone's throw away. Very nice area. Love Chautauqua County and Chautauqua Lake. As a kid I briefly lived in Silver Creek & Orchard Park but mostly Grand Island. I try to get up to a Bills game once a year and to see my aunt and uncle again. This year may not happen though. We'll see. Last year's trip got cancelled...we had tix for the Cleveland game. Go Bills!
