I have many of the same memories -- and not just because we work together or were at your bachelor party together. I wasn't refreshing MetsBlog, but I was glued to SNY the day they traded for him, and it felt like the Mets had finally "won" in terms of getting their guy. I don't remember any concerns over diminishing velocity (though lower strikeout rates sound familiar). And yet, I think, for me, the no-hitter stands out above anything else. I watched it on an iPad in a New Hampshire lakehouse and I remember thinking during the late innings that I didn't care if it was his last start as a Met (the chance of them contending again during his contract were already slim), I wanted the no-hitter for the franchise. I'm still glad he got it.

Strawberry regrets not resigning..God i remember that was devastating the Mets traded Dykstra and Mcdowell for Samuel
WTH were they thinking..Tearing down Shea was devastating for me so many great memories with my dad passing and my brother passing.The kid passed from the brain cancer as well as my father.

Everyone's day is made better by refreshing one's memory of a love story that begins with a celebration of who we are, what we love, and making both an integral part of every moment of love shared. Thank you for a great read and a moving tribute to what love is:two lives sharing one dance--in beautiful and comfortable shoes--comfortable and beautiful enough for a groom, the bride, and the entire wedding party.

This is the finest essay anyone could ever read. Knowing you both, seeing you there watching her coming down the walk, seeing your HUGE smiles, and those simply awesome shoes--all that made this the most incredible wedding I have EVER had the honor to be a part of. It was one beautiful blur of a day.

Congrats for the wedding, the idea is really different of wearing sneakers on your wedding day, some might find it weird but it sure is a great experience.

Oh man, those Angels jerseys are sensational. Basically the same as the Giants ones, but with totally ridiculous coloring. Great find! http://mlblogssnaggingbaseball...

I am a big fan of the weird jerseys lol. Fortunate to have found a TATC Anaheim Angels jersey and then watch it for 2 years on eBay before I purchased it, I too was the only bidder. Now if only the Los Angeles Kings " burger king" jersey was as easy to find and purchase.

If Pacquiao wins a boring fight, probably nobody cares. But most of his fights have been pretty exciting. It's the terrible decision that got everybody going here. It was the same way for Pacquiao's last fight, except he actually won a very close fight. For whatever reason, people love to shovel dirt on boxing's supposed corpse. Something like this just gives them an opening.

Re: Selling the drama

NJBaseball — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 10:17:07 -0000

A question, though (a serious one, because I don't follow boxing -- or Twitter, as much): Would there have been this much of a reaction had Pacquiao won a rather boring fight? Or was the interest shown a result of the bad decision?

What I enjoyed so much about this article is how we all get so carried away with the self importance of us all as we claw our way to the top of the dunk world and aim to be at the forefront of the backboard. I loved your part about enjoying the players before they earn rights to "hoopla" (ouch) and praises' ricochet (ouch again) off the lips of critics. Thank you for your journalistic knowledge that comes from trekking and tracking the lives of all who live with passion.

I reflect on this exquisite and poignant commentary on the shifting importance of sports as our lives evolve and the lingering associations with life altering events we have no control over. So many of us live our lives vicariously through the successes of our favorite teams, the marriages of movie stars, even the despair of others in the news and on the internet. As our lives grow more connected to the personal and professional values we hold dear and the intimate relationships we cherish, we do grow further distanced from that which will continue...regardless of whether we are "watching" or too busy...living and loving our own lives. Thank you for a wonderful article.

That is wild! I loved Cone as a Met. If there was any justice, Straw would have re-signed, they'd have stayed good and kept Cone a long time.
