He was also great in Dr. Strangelove.

When is a no-hitter really not a no-hitter? When you manage to give up a run anyway, but only pitch 8 innings because you lost on the road. Like the Reds did today against the Pirates. As per Gary Cohen MLB dos not recognize that as a no-hitter.

Now when you're feeling low and the fish won't bite You need a little bit o' soul to put you right

To anyone looking forward to seeing the player the Mets traded away in the Cano/Diaz deal, you're out of luck. Hours before he was to make his Citi Field debut Jarred Kelenic got sent to the minors. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/05/mariners-option-jarred-kelenic-claim-adrian-sampson.html

Do you honestly believe the bolded? I hate the guy (in a sports way) as much or more than anyone else but I think he still plays because he's driven to win. I doubt the attention from quitting at halftime of a Preseason game is something he'd ever want to be associated with.

Interesting perspectives and obviously no right or wrong. I'd have put Lifeson in the 70's category and the two of you had Eddie in different decades. He's a tweener for me - and obviously worthy of mention/inclusion whichever decade you put him in. Unless we're talking sports team I have trouble with favorites, but Stevie Ray would be an 80's contender for me. Completely different style than the guys mentioned so far. BTW, I loved the opening thread comment "You can tell which one is which". Years ago listening to a pop song on the radio I heard the guitar playing and thought - that's Carlos Santana. Found out later I was right. Probably one of the best complements you could make of a guitarist. Subject to change but I'll go with: 70s: Zappa 80s: EVH (I spent the decade listening to a non-stop stream of copy cats) 90s: Morello

Not strictly Mets related but Willie Mays turned 91. My Mets tie-in (cough cough LAMP) is that I was in attendance for his third to last HR. By many accounts he was the greatest all around player of his era. https://nypost.com/2022/05/06/celebrating-willie-mays-91st-birthday/

Very cool. I'm guessing it came together cuz Morello wanted to play with two of his guitar hero's. Not to hijack the thread but if you had to pick a guitar player from the 70's, 80's and 90's who would they be? Off the top of my head Morello would be the 90's guy.

LOL, also an Isles fan. Went to Pens/Rangers a month or so ago and felt the same. Watching the texts between my Ranger fan friends the other night was enjoyable. They are hung up on the refs.

I used to lament/complain/b!tch/moan that the Yankees were always willing to bury their mistakes with $$$ whereas the Mets were not. No more.

If a combined no-hitter is good enough for Seaver, it's good enough for me: https://nypost.com/2022/04/30/mets-achieve-tom-seavers-dream-with-combined-no-hitter/

@IronMaidenBills - you should reach out to Jimmy Spags.

Apart from Yolo's contention that McDuffie is a slot corner and Elam isn't - none of the vitriol towards the contention that the Bills trade up was a direct reaction to the Chiefs trade up has attempted to explain why the Bills traded up. BTW - my post was in no way unsupportive of the Bills. I'm just interested in why the trade up.

Hey @YoloinOhio - I respect your opinion - what's your take on the reason for the Bills trade up? Bills were convinced Dallas would nab Elam?

I'm probably out of my depth here. I looked at it as the Bills wanted to come out of the draft with a CB. KC traded up for McDuffie which took him off the board and the Bills may have been compelled to trade up to make sure they got a CB they valued highly. The timing of the trade-ups didn't look coincidental to me.

I think it's entirely possible and very plausible.

Nobody won a SB tonight, nobody will win one tomorrow and nobody will win one the day after. Drafting your boy would not guarantee winning a Super Bowl. You're either seriously delusional or a world class troll imo.

Um, everything is their prerogative. And their prerogative has been pretty damn good of late. Why you think you know more then 'them' is beyond me.

Or a reaction to the KC trade up?

Maybe the Titans don't value the $$ they'd have paid AJ. My first reaction is maybe this is the start of the commoditization of the WR position similar to what we've seen at RB.

Not sure why you posted this in the Mets thread - but it reminded me of a great SI column by Rick Reilly that included this great line: Don Zimmer, who has had more hard objects bounce off his skull than Gilligan Full article (this belongs in a Mets thread): https://vault.si.com/vault/1999/11/01/the-team-i-love-to-hate
