Good morning boys and girls. I couldn’t bear to watch much of last nights game ( it’s kinda like W.W.F wrestling from the ’80′s where you know 99.9% of the time the scrub is gonna lose and last night proved to be no different.) – one observation though -as good as it was to see Dvid Wright back on the team, and it was good seeing him trying to lift Big Pelf up during a tense situation. When he is at the plate with the new Super Mario mushroom helmet all I could think was a line from “Space Balls when Darth Helmet said “ I bet she gives good helmet !”. Any way as a digress , it is time for the light at the end of the dark tunnel that is the 2009 season. Yes it’s time for ” This Day In Mets Infamy With Rusty” !
Happy Birth Day to one of the most memorable and beloved players in Mets history . He was also one of the worst players in our forty seven year history also – Happy Birthday Marv “Raspberry, Strawberry We Want “Throneberry (1933) “Marvelous Marv” as he was known was a utility player in the Yankees organization when he was drafted by the Mets. He played both the outfield and first base during his tenure with us and it would be kind to say he was a butcher with the glove. But the one story that epitomizes Marv’s tenure with the Mets happened on a fateful day in either ’63 or ’64 when during a game Marv stroked a triple but was called out for not touching second base. Casey Stengel came out to argue the call but his first base coach said ” Don’t bother he didn’t touch first either !” He is also well know for his roles in the ” Taste Great ! Less Filling ! Miller Lite commercials from the ’70′s .Rest in Peace Marv
And sorry about the lack of Mo Vaughn news – Last I heard he had eaten himself into oblivion. Oblivion is now a much bigger place !

I hear ya on not being able to watch much. I tried, but only got a couple of innings in before I switched over to a DVR’d episode of Hell’s Kitchen. At least the end is in sight.

Gordon Ramsay should be the next manager of the Mets. “Get out! Get the $&%@ out of my dugout you fat cows!”

At least it would be entertaining. That is why I think we figure out some way to bring in Gullien. He would make Ramsay blush.

I live in Oregon, a “Death with Dignity” state that allows Assisted Suicide. Perhaps this Mets season should just come on out here to visit…soon!
