Hi Guys!Yes, it was a great loss when our beloved Yogi Berra passed away. There will never be another like him.
Many local sports commentators here in Minnesota had wonderful things to say about him as well with several saying he was the greatest sports personality they ever met.I'm still enjoying Autumn high school sports and change in season.Hope you are all doing the same.

Hello All,
Prodigal son, I am afraid that the only scholastic sports I am interested in is the ones my grandchildren are involved with. One of my grandsons was doing very well in freshman football but has decided to switch to baseball. He is very good at both and now the football coach is disappointed and the baseball coach is very happy. He already has played some varsity ball. His brother is in college and is very interested in his studies and just dabbles in sports for fun. His scholarships come from his marks. I love all my Grandchildren and back them up (long distance) regardless of their likes and dislikes. In my day I had to work after school and had no time for High School sports. I did go to the Manual-Erasmus football game in Ebbetts Field every election day.
I am surprised that Minnesota sportswriters knew anything about Yogi. -
If I were Chase Utley I would find a different place to be the next couple of days then Queens NY. When "Dirty" player Pete Rose tried these antics years ago, Bud Harrelson tagged him in the mouth the next time he came into second. I call Utley's action the "Pete Rose Syndrom" win at all costs, the hell with the physical results on anyone.
In a way it may generate a great swell of pride in the Mets players and they may sweep everyone!!! -
Hi Warren,,
That was DIRTY!!
Sore losers.. 2 game suspension??
What bullshit. Sue those bastards!!
I'm so mad..now a player is out & we can only pray his leg heals so he still has a baseball career..
I hope The Mets come back with a vengeance from here forward..
Enjoy your night!! -
Good luck
NY Mets...
-
Patsy, I hope that the Mets not only beat the turncoat Dodgers but that the Mets go all the way through the World Series. They have a rough road ahead. After the Dodgers they have the red hot Cubs. Then probably the Blue Jays. If the Blue Jays come to Citi Field, they better move the fences and stands back further. They are Home run derbies rolled up into one.

Mets WIN!!
Hi Warren
They were the underdogs all along.
Let's root them on to victory!! -
Have a great weekend
-
Good Luck to The NY Mets tonite.
My youngest daughter may be going
To the game. -
Good luck to the Mets and your daughter at the game. The only advantage I feel the Cubs have is the Manager. Joe Madden is a very shrewd manager. Terry Collins is okay but....
-
Hi Warren
My daughter is on her way to Citifield with
Her boyfriend. He's a Yankees fan, but he wants to make her happy, so he spent big bucks on 2 tix for tonites game. I hope she's at a winning game.
Enjoy the game....

"METS WIN"
So proud & very happy for them..

Hello All,
Prodigal son, I am afraid that the only scholastic sports I am interested in is the ones my grandchildren are involved with ...
I am surprised that Minnesota sportswriters knew anything about Yogi.Hiya Goat & FriendsGreat to know you follow the grandkids sports - there's nothing quite like high school athletics.As for Yogi, the local reporters here all said that he made himself readily accessible to them at all times. In fact reporters all over the country said that about Yogi - he was truly one of a kind.Go Mets! -
Hi Richard
Yes, root for The Mets!!
Hope all is well by you.
Yes everyone love Yogi Berra!
What a great guy & legend..
Definitely, one of a kind..
Happy baseball watching.. -
2-0, Could we ask for more? Yes, lets make it 4 straight, a sweep. Actually I would take 4 in any order. The rest of the Mets should find out what Murphy is eating and have some!!! Also, where would they be without Granderson? His hitting and fielding is outstanding....
-
Hi Warren
Yes, getting there!!
Whatever Murphy is eating, it's the breakfast of champions!!
You gotta believe!!!! -
I sure hope that the Mets look better tonight than my Giants last night. The way the Giants played I think I could have gotten 11 men from my senior independent living facility to beat them.
-
Hi Warren
I'm so excited for tonites game.
I'm praying hard for them to win!!
Good Luck, New York..
Enjoy the game ... -
CONGRATS NY METS!!!
-
1 more and on to the World Series! Does Murphy have any political aspirations? I think right now in NY he could be elected to any office he wants.
-
He should run for President!
Get the brooms ready for the BIG
Sweep!!
This team is on fire!!!
-
Hi Guys,
How is everyone doing?
I'm sure most of you are so happy for the METS...my husband is in heaven!!!!
Hope everyone is doing good -
Hi Judy!!
How are You?
Yes, it's awesome about the Mets!!
Tell Bobby I said hello.
Post again, soon.. -
I think that Toronto was better then KC but all the better for the METS!
Had to reset my password. Oh Well. Patsy, how did your daughter like the playoff game she went to? Judy, I go back so far with the Mets that I saw them in the Polo Grounds before Shea Stadium was built. They were terrible but lovable back then. Good old Marv Thronebury. Saw them many times in Shea but of course I have not been to Citi Field. A little far from Florida! One game I will never forget in Shea. Tom Seaver pitching for the Mets, Bob Gibson pitching for the Cardinals. We were sitting right behind first base but could not follow the fast ball to the plate on either pitcher. Memories, memories. -
Hi Warren
She had a great time. Seats not so great but still expensive but worth the money for the memory.
Her boyfriend is a Yankees fan, but rooted for the Mets. ( like he had a choice sitting with her) lol
Citifield is gorgeous. We have been there several times. But I must say Yankees stadium is gorgeous too!
Been there with the hubby a few times..
Toniann has a brick in the fan walk of Citiefield. Her aunt bought it for her birthday the year the fan walk was being paved. She also has a double of it in her room.. Buy one & get one..
Very expensive from what I know, but something she'll always cherish..
Hope you had a good weekend..
2 days to game 1.... -
The one she has home, has gold plate with serial # & section where brick is
On it. We have it in display case which they made special for the bricks. -
Good luck to the NY METS
Tonite!!

Patsy, I guess you know that the original "You Gotta Believe" man was Tug Magraw who passed away several years ago here in Florida. He was treated at Moffitt Cancer Center, near here, in Tampa, one of the best in the nation but they could not save him. His son is a Country -Western star singer.
Howdy, Stranger!
