Link Dump: February 9th, 2008
Links to come. Eric Simon has far too much time on his hands. He sleeps upside-down, keeps people as pets, and can be found on the internets at Amazin' Avenue or bothered directly at eric@metsgeek.com. 61 Responses to “Link Dump: February 9th, 2008”Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment. |

Hey 71
I am going to a champagne party this eve. Cliquot 99, Hiedsieck Premier cru, LP rose and others.
You need to try the Hiedsieck Preimier Cru. It is absolutely divine
Awww, that’s sweet.
The family that jabs their buttocks with HGH and ‘roids together…hmmm, can’t find a rhyme here. Sorry.
Hey, NJ, with all the champagne-sipping you do in the evening, how to wake up and post at 5:00 am every day, dode?
ha ha Fatt,
I go to bed early, like 10 pm. Most times i need to get up early to get to NY and work OR, My son is up @ 6pm or so looking at me to wake up.
Because he’s drinking good French champagne,
and not cheap sparkling wine that gets you sick!
Exactly 71. The Better the champagne the easier it is to get up.
No joke as you know.
I hear you on the Son Also Rises thing. My two boys are up before 6 every day. When do they start sleeping until 7 or so? My wife and I wouldn’t mind that a bit.
mmmm, very nice NJ….
sounds as good as the Mets 2008 lineup! :)
NJ-
When the Mets win this year,
my celebration will look something like THIS
:-)
Han, Fatty
My son is 9 and still gets up before we do. The good news is he doesn’t wake us up … He just goes to the computer, gets the sports news, and then gets himself breakfast.
My 10-year-old daughter would sleep all day if didn’t roust her.
Missed you yesterday, 86. Check out the archive, and you’ll note some overheated, bloviating debates that could have used a well-placed rejoinder.
Nice job working bloviating into the blog, fatt! Classes up the joint!
Thanks, Shea.

I say the glass is too big.
Damn, I missed the bloviating too. Is it too late to be a smart ass to someone deserving?
BTW, in case this was missed….
this guy should be in the Mets Hall of Fame:
Rest In Peace, Karl
Amen 71. What a part of Mets history!
Rest in peace, Karl … He was a huge part of Shea lore … And should defley be in the MHOF.
good night sign man.
The Pats are the whiniest fanbase ever.
Did you guys see this?

Too funny.
RIP Sign Man.
86 or Dave, you might know the answer….
Who was the older woman who sat behind home plate first row at Shea, and would twirl her arms to try to distract the opposing pitcher? I remember she also wore baseball earrings with the Mets logo on them. I know she’s in virtually every TV shot from the 1986 playoff home games. They even did a short TV piece on her way back then.
I remember Sign man from 1973 (my first year as a Met fan, as I go aging myself). He was the best. RIP.
I remember her, but don´t remember anything else about her. Another great Shea character…
nice 71…you will look great in that nightie….
thanks tim….care to celebrate with me, big boy?
:giggling:
don’t encourage him, Athena!! :-)
Yo, all
I guess I have to Han it to myself.
:: sometimes I just crack myself up ::
lmao, 86
86-
any clue on question in my post 34?
It´s amazing that you can google ¨Shea Stadium hand twirling lady¨and get a hit…

A loooong Mets version of My Favorite Things. An excerpt…
With nobody out, taking a pitch
Learning to spell Gary Rajsich
Rally caps topping noggins when contests get tight
That arm-twirling lady, her hex worked all right
I remember her well, of course, 71, but I have no memory of her name.
I do remember being next to a Mets fan in the upper deck at Game 7 who was individually burning a bag of red socks during the game. His name was George.
Good times.
Another nice excerpt from Faith and Fear in Flushing. Good writing.

Tony, who had a way of seeming like he was up for anything, suggested I come up to the Parc Lincoln/Lincoln Square and we’d hang out. Most Monday nights I just went home to watch the Mets. Sure, I said. I’ll come up.
As Tony neared, I unhooked myself from my headphones and clicked off WHN, saving myself the agony of what would be a 12-2 defeat. Then I controlled the impulse to roll my eyes because Tony was not alone. Tony was always convening little groups…and I wasn’t a fan of little groups.
He brought two girls along. One I immediately figured out because he hadn’t shut up about somebody else who was on the USF trip, so that must be her. It was. Her name was Diane. Diane brought her roommate.
Starting with the end of my sophomore year in 1983, when my first romance faded, right up to that very moment four years later, I couldn’t meet a member of the opposite sex and not instantly size her up and prepare some kind of contingency chat on the off chance that me and her would hit it off. It never got much beyond the imaginary conversation stage. I didn’t get out nearly enough and when I did, I didn’t know what to do.
Only once to that very moment wasn’t I thinking in those terms. And it was, in fact, that very moment. I was thinking “why is Tony always dragging total strangers into our hanging-out time?” and “2-2. Fucking Aguilera.” What I wasn’t thinking was anything pertaining to the second girl Tony was introducing me to, Diane’s roommate.
Stephanie.
Therefore, over the course of the next 20 minutes, I didn’t even have boilerplate at my disposal. I ad-libbed. We talked about the weather, but gosh darn it, it was like we were actually talking about the weather. She asked if she needed to go get a jacket. I said, no it was still warm out. We left the hotel and she said she found it a little cool. I loaned her my jacket. She accepted.
The four of us roamed to a video store (so much for all of New York being their campus), but within a block, we were no longer the four of us. We had paired off. Tony and Diane. Me and Stephanie.
I didn’t even know her last name but there’d be time for details. By the end of the evening, I knew she was it. Right away, I popped the question. You know, the big one.
“Do you want to go to the Mets game with me on Friday night?”
Nice Littlefalls on the DP and sexy lady.
;)
I will do the same, my wife is sexy so I just need the Dom Perignon ;)
I would like to try the Krug that eve

Afternoon all,
Was hoping I could get some fantasy advice from the group? For some very odd reason one of my leagues didn’t pick me a 1B in the autopick draft. And the only two decent 1B left on the waiver wire are Casey Kotchman with the Halos and Conor Jackson with the Snakes. They’re both 25 y/o and have pretty similar numbers thus far. So which of the two do you all think I would be better off with?
Thanks.
is Joey votto available. I hate ging with rookies but if he makes the reds, I think he will put up great numbers in that park
Nope, he’s already been taken too, it’s pretty slim pickins on the scrap heap.
That blows. How didn’t your autopicknot pick a firstbaseman. I mean not even a guy with duel eligability. That is a amazing
It did pick Victor Martinez for me, but he’s going to be my catcher.
Nick Johnson might be someone to pick up. I dont know what they are saying about his chances of coming back
I’ll check if he is available, take it your not too high on either Conor Jackson or Casey Kotchman?
I like Kotchman over Jackson based on the lineup that surrounds Casey. He will have more rbi opportunities and will score more runs.
plus kotchman had mono in spring training and had a horrible start cause of it. Getting close to .300 after doing nothing in April is impressive.
Thanks for the help Chris, and oddly enough Nick Johnson isn’t in Yahoo right now.
I’m looking at Kotchman’s splits. He doesnt play vs lefties despite putting up a decent avg.
Kotchman. There’s some talent there.
How MUCH? Who knows. But there’s some.
