  1. It's really a shame. Ever since George fell victim to dementia and subsequently passed away, the Yankees team and fan base have lost nearly all the class they once had. Even as a Mets fan, from the early 80s through the Joe Torre era, I always rooted for the Yankees unless they were playing the Mets. I grew up in a Yankees household, so I watched them as much as I watched the Mets. But once they signed A-Rod, I was out. And since then, they have not been the respected organization they were under George's leadership. Now their fans (not all, obviously) are no better than Philly fans. Yankees aren't Philly/Dodger-level scummy. But they're getting close.
  2. Your homemade pastrami breakfast sammiches at the tailgate were killer!! Must give a nod to @mrags for his breakfast "fatties," too. Heavenly.
  3. Then Jameis Winston is the most accurate passer in the league! 😀
  4. I really wanted to like him as a Bill, but it was abundantly clear that the Bills were just funding his Olympic dreams and that really pissed me off. But ... I also have that soft spot that many others do. All in all, I wish him luck.
  5. Weird. I usually call those "incompletions."
  6. Schobel has always been who I think is "next up," for the Wall. I think this is a great call.
  7. @Rico
  8. That's how I found her.
  9. That's pretty cool that Benson was there!
  10. "From Washington to New York to Denver, the result has been the same. The Mets suffered their seventh postponement of the season on Friday, when their game against the Rockies at Coors Field was called off due to freezing temperatures and snow. The Mets and Rockies will make it up with a single-admission doubleheader beginning at 5:10 p.m. ET/3:10 p.m. MT on Saturday. So continues a disjointed season for the Mets, who had their Opening Series in Washington wiped out because of COVID-19 issues, before rain washed away games against the Marlins and Phillies. Another rainstorm forced the postponement of Thursday’s game. The Mets have completed just four games in the past eight days." https://www.mlb.com/mets/news/mets-rockies-april-16-opener-postponed
  11. I wasn't a huge Girardi fan at first, but I think he did a really good job. His last year with the Yankees was phenomenal and exciting. They were "this close" to the world series. I was all in on the Mets getting him. And I agree with you 100% about Judge. I've been saying he's overrated from day one. He can't hit and he can't stay healthy. Nice kid. The the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
  12. The Mets have done a horrible job hiring managers for a very long time. I'm not talking *****. I'm sharing my observation. Prior to taking the Yankees Manager job, Aaron Boone had never even coached a little league team, let alone at any level within MLB. It was a stupid hire. It was stupid get rid of Girardi. And it was even more stupid replacing him with Boone.
  13. If you think baseball sucked in the 80s, then you're even less of a fan than you think!
  14. The only time it "went" was after the 1994 strike-shortened season. The steroid era brought it back, primarily via the 1998 Sosa/McGwire shitfest, and it hasn't "gone," again. I think Yankees fans think people are losing interest in baseball because Yankees fans are losing interest in baseball because after the Joe Torre era, the Yankees simply haven't been that great. Baseball is alive and well, baby!
  15. Who is the last QB who lived up to this kind of hype? Peyton Manning? (drafted 23 years ago)
  16. The one thing you left out is that they have a manager who was never qualified to be a major league manager.
  17. Hey, Google, How big are Josh Allen's hands? Height: 6 ft 4 7⁄8 in (1.95 m) Weight: 237 lb (108 kg) Hand Size: 10 1⁄8 in (0.26 m)
  18. Is there another way to spell Billion?
  19. I'm going shopping .. https://www.amazon.com/Warner-Bros-Albums-1970-1976-6CD/dp/B07S4GJSJ9 ... PM me your address.
  20. LET'S GO METS! LET'S GO METS! LET'S GO METS!
  21. I can't help myself from wanting someone "like Alex," to get the job, but I have to get over that. I just hope they don't try to go in a completely different direction.
  22. I quickly checked the FAQ here and it looks like the data comes from New York State vaccination sites, so I think one would have to be vaccinated in NYS in order to get the pass. It's free. https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/excelsior-pass
  23. Download the Excelsior Pass App. I've got a QR Code of my vax proof/Excelsior Pass stored in my Apple Wallet. Right where my Bills (and Mets, and concerts and movies) tickets will be.
