Remembering Shea: January 2015
http://rememberingshea.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 11, 2015. There was one panel from yesterday's Queens Baseball Convention. That really struck me. There were a lot of great panels to listen to, some of which I even got to see, but the retired numbers panel is worth its own blog post. I have 2 paths of thought on retired numbers. This is aside from the largely ceremonial numbers 37, 14, 42 and Shea. The other is that the Mets should open the floodgates and retire the numbers of several players. Then where do you start? And why stop at th...

Remembering Shea: April 2015
http://rememberingshea.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. How Oliver Perez ruined my 30th Birthday at Shea. April 30, 2008. Wasn't quite the bad player we all think of him as. Yet. He was about 18 months removed from pitching well in Game 7 of the NLCS. He was still a couple of years away from his last pitch in a Mets uniform (hint, it was in Spring Training). But he was getting there. And he had the start on this beautiful Wednesday afternoon at Shea. I definitely give the player of the game for my 30th birthday game to Nelson Figueroa.

Remembering Shea: June 2015
http://rememberingshea.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2015. Blame it on the Rain. I need to rant a little bit about tonight's Mets game. June 27, 2015. Mets hosting the Reds in the 2nd game of a 3 game weekend series, with a post-game concert featuring the Steve Miller Band. And it rained. The concert or at least because. Of the concert (like me). So they played the game. Leave a comment or drop me a line at DyHrdMET [at] gmail [dot] com. Your comments will fall into a moderation queue. Become a Networked Blog. Blame it on the Rain. Banne...

Remembering Shea: March 2015
http://rememberingshea.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 15, 2015. I've spent most of the first 11 games this spring watching the Mets play. I'm back from my trip, and that's usually the time for me to make my season prediction. I think they break even. 81-81. It's only a 2 game improvement from the 2014 season. The starting rotation will have a ton of no decisions. And there will be a lot of nights that we're excited to watch the club based on the starting pitcher. Leave a comment or drop me a line at DyHrdMET [at] gmail [dot] com. Faith and Fea...

Remembering Shea: Happy Opening Day
http://rememberingshea.blogspot.com/2015/04/happy-opening-day.html
Monday, April 6, 2015. Editor's Note: this is a re-post from Opening Day 2012. Opening Day wouldn't be right without the voice of Bob Murphy. I remember cutting class during my sophomore year in college to watch Opening Day 1998. Like 2003, also a March 31 opener, and like 2007, against the Phillies) when Bobby Jones started for the Mets. Here's how the game started. Your browser does not support this audio format. And this is how that game ended. Your browser does not support this audio format. Faith an...

Remembering Shea: September 2014
http://rememberingshea.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. For 6 Months There Is Baseball. For 6 months there is baseball, and for 6 months there is not. Six months when there is baseball really does seem like a long time to me. I look back at things that happened on Opening Day and ask if that was THIS season. Yes, it was. Highlights from June seem like a long time ago to this brain sitting in the end of September.

Remembering Shea: June 2014
http://rememberingshea.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 18, 2014. The heart versus the head. That's actually paraphrased from a line I remember from the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head? Which out that's a line from William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. It's an internal struggle that a lot of people are facing right now (I think I'm there too). Are we all crazy Mets fans in love with the club? 2014 mets william shakespeare willy wonka.
