Good Morning to all my fellow Mets Fans out there. It is time for the walking wounded edition of ” This Day In Mets Infamy, So go schedule a M.R.I and in the meantime enjoy.
First Off happy birthday greetings go out to a Brooklyn dodger pitcher who later on became one of the original Mets -Clem Labine (1926)
also celebrating a birthday is original Mets pitcher Herb Moford (1928)
then there is the poster boy to the ineptitude of your front office when it comes to trades – Happpy Birthday Victor Zambrano (1975) – we still hate you!
And sadly Bob ” Righty ” Miller died on this date in 1993
New York Mets purchased former Yankee pitching great , Ralph Terry from the Kansas City Athletics on August 6, 1966.
and Mo Vaughn is still fat

My knee started acting up yesterday… maybe watching the Mets has started to effect my body. Oh no!
And, I don’t hate Victor Zambrano. It’s not his fault that Duquette was a douche. I was hoping for Victor’s sake that Peterson really was going to fix him, but that hope was dashed quickly (and was really only half-a$$ed to begin with).

Victor Z’s birthday!!
Wow, somehow, it seems totally appropriate for his birthday to be celebrated in 2009, the strangest and weirdest of years.
The way Niese left yesterday has to be somehow related to the way Zambrano left his last Met game, at least in terms of how strange it was….

Happy birthday to everybody!
I was going to say “Clem Labine” sounded like a car (“Have you guys seen the new Clem Labine? It’s a fast machine!”) until I read the name Herb Moford.
