What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
Catching up on stuff from last week…I thought this was interesting.

Some managers are up for Hall of Fame consideration this year. One man’s ballot and I concede before you read this that my opinions are uniformed and therefore likely stupid. So why do it? It’s the off-season and I’d like to hear your thoughts.
Davey Johnson: sorry Davey, love ya but can’t. Had the horses, should’ve done more.
Billy Martin. No brainer yes. 2 rings. Look at the first place finishes. Look at the records when he got fired. .628 ball wasn’t good enough!
Charlie Grimm: Had to look him up. 3 pennants in 14 years with the Cubs. If someone does that in the 21st century they will make the Hall..so I will say yes.
Gene Mauch: managed a long long time and collected 1902 wins for 12th all-time. I can’t put everyone in…so I will make Gene wait.
Danny Murtaugh: had to look him up too. Hey I wasn’t around to watch Clemente win in 1971. Won 2 rings with the Pirates. Maybe I just don’t get it, but I can’t put everyone in…
Steve O’Neill. Another guy I had to look up. Won with the Tigers in 1945. Pass.
Whitey Herzog: hmmmm. I feel like I am going to get this one “wrong.” My gut reaction was yes…he did win 3 pennants and a ring, and I did put Grimm in…more wins than Miller Huggins, fewer than Lou Piniella (are we putting Lou in as a manager some day/)…hmm tough one….I feared him in the other dugout so I will say yes.
Tom Kelly: 15 years with one team, 2 rings with a small market team. That’s what you want a resume to look like. However that .478 record troubles me….I think I have to send Tom to my “Hall of Garvey” (where players like Steve Garvey, Keith Hernandez and Don Mattingly belong).

I am eternally grateful that some of the bigger blogs sent and continue to send links here which has helped this site grow, so I’m happy when I can pass along the love.
Metsies and Other Musings is a new Mets blog on the scene, and I enjoyed this piece that cobbles together a team of non-stars. Joel Youngblood and Doug Flynn make the squad, so you know that’s my kind of team. Check it out.

I seem to have stumbled into the ugly section on New Era’s website. You know what I’m going to say about this. Makes me think of the Knicks. Again at least it isn’t black.

I stumbled across this great article about Japanese baseball (worth a read!) and it informed me…
So I thought I’d take a look!
Looks kinda cool.
I wonder if Hanshin Tigers fans complain about this?
Looks like the Tigers have heard about that statue technology that eludes the Mets.
Did I mention it’s a long off-season?
