Might be pressing my luck here so I'll try to be discreet: "Previously mentioned Packers QB" Smoker

Posting this is against my better judgement: White Kaepernick

I would have left Robertson in.

As a Mets fan, I concur on all counts. As enjoyable as last night was (in a highly vindictive, douchey and jealous way) I'd rather see the nail-biter game. Yanks/Sawx have had some great ones.

Corollary question: how many forest fires before someone discovered ganja? Or if they ate it first, which caveman Einstein determined incineration/inhalation trumped digestion? But if they ate it first, how many cases of tracheal poison ivy did they endure before they struck gold?

Answers seem pretty straight forward to me: not very often and they usually bust. Do I get a 100 and a smiley face sticker? Here's two for you: How often do "can't miss" QB prospects actually pan out? Do they usually bust or is there a lot of examples of guys that have actually worked out?

Yup. I think they brought Anderson in to improve the backup QB position. It's an upgrade to backup QB, nothing more. And a welcome change IMO.

A lot of posters are connecting Anderson to Allen. I connect Anderson to Peterman. I'm thrilled they may finally be moving on from the infatuation with Peterman.

I would love to hear Ace of Spades C/W style. If possible, please post. Were you aware that Lemmy hooked up with Slim Jim Phantom of the Stray Cats for some rock-a-billy with The Head Cat?

If I were the Red Sox I'd be concerned about their middle relievers pitching at Yankee Stadium. They couldn't throw strikes at home.

That throw that Betts just made to almost double the guy off first was sick.

Interesting perspective. Good on ya for sticking with the team for so long. I hope you live well enough and long enough to see us win it all. But as much as I appreciate the (short term) impatience for a winner and the skepticism based on the past, it doesn't change where we are right here and right now. And in my opinion it starts with Josh Allen proving he's legit. And then it's up to McBeane to complement through the draft and available cap space. Time will tell whether Allen/McDermott/Beane make it happen, but like it or not it's probably in their hands through the 2019 season. Go Bills!

At the end of the season we have no need or interest in looking for a new starting QB.

Was it this:

A running joke for me and my friends is whenever a band asks for requests, or better yet if they don't, the answer is simple... MOTORHEAD!! Back in the 90's in between sets of a funk band we tried to convince the bass player to at least strum a few chords of Ace of Spades between songs but the dude wimped out on us. Anyway, any mention of Lemmy and the boys deserves a bump.

Does this qualify as a solo or just Joe Satriani doing Satriani things? Either way I'm a fan.

Mic drop post for me. Couldn't have put it any better. I bought into the feel-good redemption story his second time through Buffalo hook, line and sinker. Wish he and we were still on that path, but something is clearly amiss. I wish him and those close to him all the best. He's made some disturbing headlines since last season ended.

OK, so I admit this is a stretch for the Mets thread and I didn't get the specifics, but watching Rockies/Cubs they just posted a stat to the effect that the Rockies pitcher was ranked 2nd in throwing pitches (or strikes, not sure) on the outer part of the plate. The tenuous Mets connection: Bartolo was #1. So Bart is a master of not leaving the ball over the plate and working the batters outside/inside.Keeping the ball down in the zone probably helps too.

Richie as the victim. You are either a fool or a troll. I suspect both.

Elementary school, probably <= 4th grade, not sure. I was a walker. And that meant I walked home without parents. Came up to the crossing guard as she had just gotten a group of kids across the street (I remember thinking she had the face of a bird). I should've waited, but kind of like blowing through a late yellow traffic light decided I could make it across if I ran. I remember hitting the deck when I saw the car and the tire stopping inches short of my leg.

Unless I'm mistaken our coach won and theirs lost...and we made the playoffs. Admittedly, I prefer Reich's aggressiveness. But I also prefer wins over losses or ties. No guarantee either way at the point the decisions have to be made.

I was talking to a father of my sons teammate Saturday morning who was at the game Friday night sitting 4 rows up from the on deck circle who said the same. A different father was headed to the game Saturday night after our sons game today. Both father and son are huge Mets fans, looking forward to hearing about their night. Nice send-off for #5. Didn't seem over-blown. Would have been nice for him to get a hit, the pitch he fouled out on was one he would've smoked to right back in the day.

Is it possible for me to follow your posts and yours only on this site? I can tell from the tenor of your posts that I should ignore all others until you have spoken.
