I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend. I’m taking it wasy in blogger-land since I have been doing this long enough that I know these 3 day summer weekends are always low traffic.
Some odds and ends from the beat:
– I appreciate Amtrak trying to brand this an “Acela rivalry series” (and I too will happily take a sponsorship from Amtrak so I don’t begrudge anyone on that) but there ain’t no rivalry between these two clubs and never was.
– Media Goon is trying to set me off. He sent me something from another site and well, let’s just hope Other Site doesn’t ruin it for everyone. Think folks, think.
– I’ve had it with idiots that go for it on 4th down everytime in online Madden. Sometimes they make it. sometimes they don’t. I don’t want you to hand me the ball on your own 32, that’s not football. Play right.

A most Amazin’ collection – Mets Blog – ESPN New York
One of those things I forgot to link – so here’s some holiday weekend reading for you.
I can’t remember exactly when I decided to collect the autograph of everyone who had played for the New York Mets and to collect them on 3×5 index cards, but the year was probably 1966, the team’s fifth year in existence.
I realized that the only way to have an attainable goal in autograph collecting was to have a limited focus with the distinct possibility of completion. I decided that every Met was within my grasp and the challenge was worth the goal.
Forty-five years later, I have a collection that features an autograph from everyone to play for the Mets. They include stories both happy and sad, every player from the Asian Rim, and all the Hall of Famers, most of whom — like Duke Snider and Warren Spahn — were merely passing through the Polo Grounds or Shea Stadium on their way to Cooperstown.
