Other than Johan, there’s no one on the Mets nearly as good as he is. It’s all relative man.

Mookie Wilson. Most definitely Mookie Wilson. No real reason for it. I guess I got tired of calling her “Princess” and “Pumpkin” and all of that, so “Mookie” it is.

That’s it, I’m going to start calling The Boy Nails.  Our kids can platoon, and then mine can grow up to be a national punchline.

Coool is great, however you’re overlooking post-production through Photoshop which probably took about the same amount of time as “Birth Of A Nation”.  Looks like a 4 second exposure interval, so the camera with a memory card about the size of Houston would do the work, but aligning the 16 or so scenes this well is tough.

On a Joba note, I don’t think the “rules” got him, just the discipline.  Suspect he will be either gone on a trade or reliever, with Andy back and a player to be named later as a fifth starter after Hughes.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen John Lackey compared to a wax cotton fishing jacket, but I like the analogy. I think in the world of pitchers-as-jackets this makes Zack Greinke an Armani leather bomber, and Oliver Perez two pairs of irregular underwear with skidmarks.

Holy crap, that’s my coat. No kidding. Same model, same colour, with the excellent dual-zip game pocket in the back. Go ahead and buy it Craig, it’s by far the best coat I’ve ever owned, I’ve had it for about 5 years now. And it will be the last coat you ever need: Barbour repairs and rewaxes them very inexpensively. I live in London, and it’s great as a city coat (quite presentable) and a country coat (tough as nails and utterly waterproof).

Craig-

If you get the Barbour coat you end up watching Midsomer Murders on DVD and pulling for the villains, then having uncontrollable urges to accessorize with tattersall and tweed.

Don’t do it. Stick with the genuine A-2. Timeless, classic.

Craig: buy the coat.  My wife recently sent to me, with the words “you’d look good in this”, a link for a $6,000 suit.  (Well, $4,600, but the hat and shoes completed the ensemble, doncha know).  Much as appreciate her taste and all, my paycheck audibly laughed at her.
