Good day Cubs win and it has temporarily stopped raining

 

It is raining in Atlanta.

 

During the rain delay, the Mets station aired an interview with Vin Scully. What a brilliant man! He was 89 at the time of the interview and he looked and sounded so sharp. He could remember so much as if it were yesterday. He started his career at age 22 and worked for 67 years. Life well lived. And still living. 

 

PT will like this. Scully went on and on about the person he called "my favorite player". He was talking about former Dodgers player and Mets Manager Gil Hodges. He described Hodges as "a special human being".

Yeah I cant wait for this series. It's early in the season but they are playing like THE YANKEES. Should be fun, new Champion vs the best Franchise. I will have weird feelings watching Chapman pitch against us, loved the guy as he was crucial in the WS to the Cubs winning.

Piscotty pulled hamstring may be a good thing right now , Martinez will get a good shot batting over 400

 

 

The Mets announcers reported that Fowler hurt himself. What happened?

Yes I was, do I need to use a freakin sarcasm sign everytime I speak (in my Jack Nicholson voice) :sarcasm:, This rain is over whelming here in the Indianapolis area. Just stay safe and indoors.

No I didn't

I wrote it up top. I am quoting part of what I wrote. It is about an interview with the great Vin Scully.

He talked a lot about Hodges, who he called Gilly. He talked about his time fighting for our country and his being a religious and good man. He said a lot.  Think about it. In 67 years as a broadcaster, Scully has met thousands of players. His favorite was Gil Hodges.

Yeah that is crazy, I haven't seen this much rain in awhile. It's bad here too with high waters in spots, etc..

From what I read he was a great person but for the longest time all I knew of him was that he was the namesake of the Princeton Community Baseball field and the face on a mural in Petersburg

Interesting. It was not made known that he was a Dodgers player and the manager of the 100-win Amazin Mets of 1969? His number is one of the few retired by the Mets. 

 

In two years, it will be the 50th anniversary of that championship. I wonder if his wife is still alive. She used to come to many of the Mets events in the past. 

 

Gil Hodges should have been an icon in your town.

He is here and in Petersburg but just like Dave Niehaus, Dave Thomas, and Orville Reddenbacher and even Edd Rousch his base was not here in the Tri-State(He left the area for college then Brooklyn

The other discrepancy is because he moved from Princeton to Petersburg in elementary school and graduated from Petersburg High School but played for the Princeton American Legion Baseball team

The Mets game at Atlanta was postponed last night (rain) after playing into the 4th inning.  Returning to NY, they probably will not play tonight or tomorrow. We are expecting heavy rain and thunderstorms.

 

I may watch some Cubs-Yankees. :thinking:  Which team shall I root for? 

 

Talk to all of you this weekend. Enjoy and stay safe. :)

What do you mean which team will you root for :sarcasm:. It may get rained out?? It's still raining hard in Indianapolis, has been for around 30 hours.

I think Cubs win 1 if I had to predict it. It will be tough to take against them in NY the way they are playing.

 

I thought they were playing in Chicago. If they are in NY, the games today and tomorrow will be cancelled. I am looking out the window now and there are torrential downpours. A tree fell on a car outside my office about an hour ago. It is bad out there but maybe not as bad as how it was in Indy.

    • I think he paid Johnathan Hankins about 10M per year(30/3) in his first free agency when he was remaking the whole defense.  In 2019 he signed Justin Houston for 24/2... and Devin Funchess for 13M...  In 2020 - Rivers... In 2021 - none In 2022 - Gilmore In 2023 - none
    • How the heck did I miss that?! Wow
    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works. 
    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.
