@NateTrosky @jaegersports Here's an idea that results in more pickoffs! How about a lefty at 1B? They used to have them in the MLB and "drop steps" were unnecessary.

@tommylugauer "blanking" works instead of "tanking." More neutral, not intentionally blowing it just saying "blank" this season.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

Let's just call them costumes. Nothing "uniform" anymore.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

That's for 2007 and 2008. Go home Phils!

@smerconish Michael. Love your show. While I dismiss much of what RFK Jr. spouts, citizens dismiss everything he says at their peril, esp. his views on the military industrial complex. @Casey Democrat.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

Many of us who lived thru that time are happy DS has turned his life around and found peace in his life. But we also have a tinge of "WTF?" in response to seeing his # retired forever.

I’m calling time out on this Strawberry Love Fest being sold. He didn’t want to be here. Hopefully someone like Howie who took a lot of phone calls about it will help people remember the real version.

@HowieRose @Mets PZ spent 10 mins speaking to my 9 year old son when we were at the '99 Fantasy Camp. I'll never forget my son's expression hearing about PZ facing Mike Schmidt in the '76 playoffs. A real gentleman.

@SlangsOnSports Not good enough for the @Mets.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@EvanandTikiWFAN I get Joe's frustration. Remember many Jets fans are also Mets fans. No fan base has suffered like ours. None. If something can go wrong it will. This year's edition is Diaz and Rodgers. Add Knicks, Isles and Johnnies B-ball and its been a 30+ yr royal toilet flush of despair.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@UniWatch Suppose this approach would not have solved the dilemma either. SMH.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@Mike_WarrenPxP Great call Mike.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@VintScoreboards Could be Ellie Howard.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@Timgal2 @VintScoreboards Good catch. Def not a Mets catcher there wearing road greys.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@Super70sSports Inspiration for the @phillies number font.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@PopCulturePres1 Lefty playing the upside down Fender Jazz. Been there.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@SNYtv Searching online for the pics that Vogie has of Buck. Either that or Buck just doesn't like the press thinking they're smarter than him.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@KareBearScare @SNYtv Same. Only substitute N.Y. Giants for Brooklyn Dodgers.

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@GoatJerseys On the Mount Rushmore of unis. Along with the Pirates, Reds and Cleveland vesties. (Reds get an edge for the year they wore the NOB under the number).

[Jim Darby @Darbitrator]

@metsrewind Yes.
