Your Brown Eye and Franks' Red Hot? Draw your own conclusions. Better yet, just steer clear.

Drank too much beer? Still able to post? Seems like mutually exclusive events to me. But sure: GO BILLS!!

Nice memory of the GS single, hadn't thought of that for awhile. That was before my kids time. Tomorrow they will know, so thanks for that Tier! LAMP ALERT: read on at your own discretion: Tomorrow is opening day for my youngest sons Little League Team. He is an above average ballplayer but with an off the charts love of playing and the game. He got hurt in practice the night before last and can't play tomorrow. He is crushed. Me too. Because there's is nothing better than watching him play and seeing his love for the game. Not sure how if it will work out but my plan is to have him coach first for an inning tomorrow. Turning off the LAMP now. 11-1!!!!!!!!!!

And he's succeeding. Yesterday their Double-A team (the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp!!!!) outdrew the Marlins attendance-wise. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23134000/miami-marlins-outdrawn-double-affiliate-jacksonville-jumbo-shrimp-wednesday-games If it's me, I'm planning on riding Plawecki and giving the rookie spot starts for awhile. Usually not much goes on trade-wise until the summer. Oh yeah, keeping my fingers crossed until then too!

I'll add that IMO the front office has been positioning themselves to grab a QB this year since they took over.

Completely agree on the sustainability concern. I would probably be destroying Calloway if things weren't going so well. Winning cures all.

Who elfin cares how "the Bills offensive line stack up against some of the glory years"? Are you suggesting that Christian Hackensuck would prosper if he had a great O-line? We need a QB, we need to re-build the O-line. They are both important, but one is more important.

I don't disagree, but I also think it's part of why Nimmo got sent down today. Hard to argue with any moves when you're playing .900 ball. And as much as I don't like it (get off my lawn!) I have a feeling we may need to get to used to shorter outings, including Jake and Thor. 6/7 may be the new 7/8 normal. Just win baby!

Sorry that your father-in-law passed away, but great story in so many ways. Baseball is all about passing along the love and legacy to me. My grandfather was a huge influence on me as was my father. I hope someone puts a Mets flag in my coffin when my time has come.

Mets just tied it up with 2 HRs in the top of the 8th. They may win, they may lose. To me they already won tonight win or lose.

My youngest son came up with "Mickeys Clubhouse" this morning. That's two resilient wins. Extra innings on a cold late night game when there's a game the next night a 1000 miles away followed by the vets opting in when nobody would have faulted them for taking a night off.

Looks like Wheeler gets the start on Wednesday: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23082987/zack-wheeler-wednesday-aligning-new-york-mets-long-awaited-rotation

Sweep! If you were watching til the end, was it me, or was Rhame checking the bench for something before he threw the last two pitches?

I probably posted about 10-15 minutes after it happened, so around 9:30 or so. It happened quick and it didn't register with me at first. They did an up close fan shot of around 4 people. The guy to the left had a knit hat with a Bills logo. Pretty sure the guy 3 over to the right had a Bills cap on. No clue on the two in between, other than I didn't notice anything.

Michael Schenker Group, One Night At Budokan. Always thought this recording captured the big sound of a live band really well.

Anyone else just catch the Bills fans on the Nats/Mets broadcast?

I think you should be asking "Why Does Every Writer Give us An Overview of The Draft Soap Opera?" It's the utter brilliance of the NFL. They took what we all know is a crap shoot (QB or not...Dion Jordan anyone?) and turned it into must-see-TV with a months long build up. How they've managed to keep the NFL in the collective conscience year round is impressive.

I cannot fathom what the families, friends and community are going through. Effin heart-breaking.

Mantle?

Devastating. Thoughts and prayers for the survivors and all of the families affected.

Best part of that signing for me was the acknowledgement by the organization that Wright is done. They should've done that a year or so ago. At the same time I have the utmost respect for Wright and no problem whatsoever with him trying to come back.

I know this isn't Mets, but I don't think this is thread worthy and from what I can tell the folks that frequent this thread might appreciate this. 99 year old man who has been ushering Pirates games since 1936 retires: http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23055073/pittsburgh-pirates-99-year-old-usher-phil-coyne-retires-81-seasons In an effort to bring this back to the Mets, a number of years ago an usher brought me and my friends to box seats at Shea. He was an old timer with an obvious love for the game. We got there early and as he was seating others and then as the game went on he came at us with two outstanding trivia questions (the answers have changed for both) 1) Name the only player at each position (3 outfielders, but not distinguished by RF, CF. LF) who won back to back MVP awards. 2) By last name, who has the most home runs for each letter in the alphabet. If anyone is really interested in either of the two trivia questions let me know and I'll start a thread...I know most of #1 off the top of my head and have #2 scribbled down somewhere but like I said, they both changed.

Fake news. I have no daughters.

No worries, this mock has it covered: https://www.draftsite.com/nfl/mock-draft/2018/ Only things that bother me is that it seems obvious we'd take Rudolph at 53, Falk at 56....

I'm with ya on the analytics. Bobby V had a great line about statistics: "They confirm what I see with my eyes". Things have changed a lot since then and I am slow to come around. You know what really sucks? No game tomorrow.
