Lot’s of minutia in my head time to let it flow:
Cincinnatti Red Legs signed Craig Wilson and I guess I should be pissed but between the after glow of the Santana deal and the fact that I think Omar is going to wait until the end of spring training to fill the 25th spot on the roster I will restrain myself from spewing venom towards Minaya. Signing an ace pitcher buy alot of good cheer from me. but I think Omar well wait and see who gets cut from teams and make a wise move to add a right handed bat to back up Delgado and Church.
SIGNING OFF-R.I.P. Karl Ehrhardt a/k/a THE SIGN MAN. This guy was a fixture at Shea during the 60’s and 70’s but when the team went from bad to awful in the late 70’s early 80’s SIGN MAN wasn’t to be found. The guy did get a lot of TV exposure though as Ch9 always had their cameras on him.
Here’s the difference between D-Wright and Derek Jeter. Wright is a real leader and Jeter is a phony. A phony who is worshiped by the biased ass holes also known as the New York media. Wright is a leader because he would never throw a teammate under the bus as Jeter did to Alex Rodriguez and Wright is a stand up guy. When was the last time you heard anything of substance out of Jeter? If he’s not hawking jalopy’s for Ford or and awful tasting sports drink (Vitamim Water is the offical drink of the Eddie Kranpool Society) he’s showing off his $200 a pair line of footwear. Wright? After his team tanked night after night stood up and took it even though he was playing at an MVP level. In the off season the kid was every where answering question about the greatest collapse in baseball history. When Rodriguez needed someone to stand with hin as the imbeciles at Highlander Stadium booed and booed Capt Phony Fuck never stepped up. D- Wright would never let that happen to a teammate. NEVER!

You’re at your best when you “let it flow” like that. I love the random thoughts posts. “Captain Phony Fuck” is a classic!
Rock on, Steve.
Sad to hear about the passing of Karl Ernhardt. I could never figure out how he managed, so cleverly and quickly, to come up with those signs… the play would be still happening and he would be bringing out a briliant sign.
Fitting I suppose that he passes the same year as our old stadium. He was part of the charm for many years.
Is there any hope for a Shea future? Red Bulls? Jets? High school, college, and neighborhood league baseball? Concerts? Mayor’s Trophy games? Public access ball park? Some combination of the above?
It seems wrong to tear it down for Citi Field parking. Fo me it is hallowed ground.
