Alex Cora Says: “If We Die, We Die.”

cora-ii
No that is not referring to the upcoming 2010 Mets season even though you can make an argument that it should be (not literally of course).

Dustin Pedroia on today’s episode of Baseball Tonight while discussing his fear of flying said that one of his great friends Alex Cora while with him in Boston took a page from a line in Rocky IV and said “If we die we die”. It worked at calming him down and he still remembers that till this day whenever he flies.

    Cora’s got the right idea about things in general. I try and live by that mantra.
    I’m a firm believer in fate. Doesn’t mean you have to throw yourself in front of a bus but…what’s gonna be, is gonna be.

    That being said, I hope it’s my fate to be watching NY Met baseball well into Oct and right into the WS this year…..

    Reading the comments from one Eephus over on fromwhaticangather.com makes me almost wish I had a login over there….

    His over the top defense of MF this afternoon when interviewing the Mets is just..well, over the top.
    I listened to most of those interviews. It’s clear to any Met fan MF is not that knowledgeable when it comes to the Mets. There was so much wrong with MF doing those Met interviews I don’t know where to start. I think another poster summed it up well:

    Yes, Francessa is a NY radio talk show host. He talks about all NY sports. But when he is at Mets camp, he should talk mostly about the Mets.

    When he visits the Skankees, let him talk about the Skankees. During March Madness, he should (and does) talk about college hoops. As we approach the NFL draft, he should talk about the Giants, Jets, and top picks.

    Regardless of his ratings or his knowledge, he is in Mets camp … talk about the Mets.
    I don’t want to hear him talk about deep fried twinkies … something he may know a lot about.

    Bingo.
    Saw you Ceeter trying to put it in perspective over there. That looked like a futile effort. Nice try though.

        Happy to share, Kingman. Some days I’ve got more free time than others….I hope that will be the case during the days they’ll be televising the ST games down there – LOL.

          Just watch out for those Program Managers, we’re devious ;)

          Saw you’re earlier post. Also great job on these updates.

          1. metsfan4decades

            Ha! Luckily, I work in what is termed a ‘virtual’ organization. That means my Program Manager isn’t even in the same state as me, let alone the same office…..

            You’re lucky… I’m down the hall from mine. Bleh.

          Tomorrow’s game I will try to find a free online video feed and will add the link in a comment if I find it.

          I usually can find a online feed somewhere on Justin.TV

      Lol, fromwhaticangather.com. I thought that was the actual website name, it took me awhile to figure it out but it all makes sense now.

    Personally I have to add a phrase to every movie sequel with II in the title, so to me this would be “Cora II, Electric Boogaloo”

    Must be rough for major leaguers flying Qantas with all those koalas on board.

    1. Mr North Jersey

      Oh, you caught that?

      LoL I was too lazy to edit it out.

      Of course I should of known your keen eye would spot that. ;-)

    2. Kingman 26

      Yeah, but they are SO tasty, sauteed just right, when the koala is nice and lean…..

            It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

    We should do a fantasy baseball league..

    1. Mr North Jersey

      I think Dirty has a post on that tomorrow.

        Just completed my first draft of the season. Got Reyes and Santana.

        1. Kingman 26

          You are going to win.

        2. vcmetsfan28

          saw that you got 0 yanks and phils… great that you don’t have to root for them but bad that you missed out on some of the best players in the “fantasy world”

          1. ceetar

            I missed the first twenty minutes of the draft anyway. So Tex, Utley, Halladay, A-Rod and CC were gone. Not many others worth taking.

          2. vcmetsfan28

            you got a point there…
