Marty Noble at MLB.com writes about what Mets skipper Jerry Manuel plans to do this Thanksgiving:
“On the night before the family gathers for Thanksgiving, Manuel is content. He knows that most of his family will surround him. A baseball season of challenge, something he relishes, awaits him, as do additional experiences in the role of grandfather… And to his delight, there are more experiences for him as a son, as his mother is to share Thanksgiving dinner with the family.”
…not to take away from the tone of this article, but i’ll be thankful when this ‘hot stove season’ finally gets underway because all these rumors are wearing on me…

I’m sure Jerry Manuel will also be thankful to get a few arms that can get outs that he can use for an inning or more without always having to worry about who to use batter to batter.
welcome to the Mets, my friend. we’re going to see the same thing next season until the 9th inning if we can get K-Rod already.
I’ll be thankful once I turn on the TV and see baseball being played in Florida. Right now, the Giants occupy my Sundays but the rest of the week I am bored to tears.
HELL YEAH !!!
i second that
I’d be thankful two if i was part of running the two biggest choke jobs in franchise history and got rewarded with a shiny new contract.

Hey Rusty–Have a great Thanksgiving man!
I did reply about my bands on the Heilman/Street thread…
thanks kingman yeah i think i heard of yas were u on sub pop metal blade or cleopatra?? i work for a metal band from brooklyn called shango since 95 the bas-sist was the comanager of metallica raven and anthrax back in the early days of megaforce records ever hear of em? theyve played with everyone from overkill s.o.d mercyful fate dee snider and blue oyster cult and i myself am a failed bas-sit turned roadie lol anyway guys have a happy t-day
eddie
Our CDs were on a small label called Your Name Here Records, owned by a friend of the singer/songwriter who made zillions by being an early Microsoft employee…we were almost on SubPop, as they loved Dave, but he had to do everything his way, and the SubPop guys were very flaky about paying anyone back then; but they did do a great job of promoting the early Seattle scene…we did a few singles on Tombstone, a label owned by a very cool band from Olympia called Dead Moon, and another I think on C/Z, which was the 2nd biggest Seattle indy after SubPop back then. We also played two Hempfests, huge outdoor Seattle shows which drew like 30,000 people in the mid-90s and were covered by Spin and Rolling Stone.
I think I have heard of Shango….And I myself am a retired bas*ist!! Running a jazz biz with my brother in upstate NY. But I still listen to Nirvana and Alice in Chains and the Screaming Trees all the time along with jazz and Jay-Z and Sinatra…..
Have a great one tomorrow Rusty…..
same here and remember JACO RULEZ!!! btw where upstate is ye??
Yeah, we sell a lot of Jaco instructional books and DVDs and Weather Report DVDs….
I am in Saratoga Springs…you in Brooklyn?
stanley clarke cliff burton the guy from forced entry & coven and les we forget dicky wifebeater from the mentors – all gods of the ba-ss lol
staten island now but born n bred in bklyn – went to the same h.s as pete steele of carnivore and type o neg fame lol
The plans are only available “selected account holders” so does that mean current package holders? Was there a raffle I missed?
no mouse it means if u had a partial plan u will be allowed to buy b4 the public
I actually posted about it in this thread, and for some reason the post never appeared.
I’m happy I will have an opportunity, but annoyed at how they are doing it. Ive had Sunday package for about 12 yrs and now the “Sunday Plan” only has 10 of the 13 Sunday games, and includes 5 weekday games.
a dragon! a dragon ! i thought i saw a dragon – sorry one of my favorite movies as a kid
I wonder how Jerry will feel when Omar delivers the turkeys (Millwood & Hoffmann)
I’m thankful Willie is gone!
Omar; it’s your job to lose, baby!
Show me the deals!
LET’S GO METS !!!
Hey RustyJr; where you been at?
same here eddie btw i used to be rustystyaubsillegitmateson and the way u can get me to comment is to say my name 3 times infront of a mirror in the dark lol (in response to stickguys dream thread yeaterday)
Ive been wondering,
can anybody inform me when Mets Hot Stove is on SnY like time/day of week.?
Thursdays at 7pm – although I don’t think it’s on tomorrow b/c of the holiday.
Happy Thanksgiving all.
It’s just too damn long until Spring Training games start…..
Hey, it can only be about 3 months now until Johan takes the mound for the first spring training game on SNY, which KRod (or my sentimental choice JJ Putz in a trade if we don’t sign KRod) will hopefully save!
Have a great Thanksgiving 4 Decades!
happy t-day 4decades
did u check the SNY website?
Hey guys i know its a lil random but something amazing happened to me..
I MET DANIEL MURPHY!!
not lyin..
I was at my baseball/workout place (in Jacksonville FL) and he came in and talked to some of the coaches and said hi to me and talked to me. He talked to my dad first in the other room so he said
“I’m sorry about the end of last year, it’s gonna be good next year.”
It was awesome, i was completely star struck
Oh and he was there cuz obviously of the injury and he was having Thanksgiving with his family
flip ask him how the rest of the magic tones are doing?? i miss donald “duck” dunn and the “col “steve cropper lol
lol What?
And Matt “Guitar” Murphy and Blue Lou are back with Aretha making fried chicken and dry white toast!
What do u think Im kidding? Im not… of course i dont have proof like a photo or anything but i swear i met him
i believe you. i think those two are talking about the blues brothers
No dude, not at all! We just call Murphy “Murph and the Magic Tones” as it is from the Blues Brothers movie, as are the other characters we mentioned.
I think it is great you met Murphy, and what he said about next year is awesome!!
oh ok… i just didnt know who the magic tones where hahaha
now u know – and knowing is half the battle !
Murph was the keyboard player in the Blues Brothers, who was leading a band called Murph and the Magic Tones with Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper, the bas*ist and guitarist, at the cheesy motel lounge when Belushi and Aykroyd went to get them to put the band back together….Rusty started calling Daniel Murphy Murph and the Magic Tones, and I have been right there supporting him!
I think we both want to see Murph playing every day in LF or at 2B, with or without the Magic Tones!
i wish i liked that movie more. i think that’s one of those ‘love ‘em or hate ‘em’ ones.
either way, murphy still rocks
he’s our mike jorgenson of the future lol but with a better bat !!!
These guys who might not know who Murph, Magic Tones and the Blues Bros are, are making me feel very old – LOL……
Been reading every word you all are posting about the Hot Stove rumors and trades ya all think we should/should not make. Don’t often comment b/c many of you are so much more on top of players stats around the league than I am. But I come here first for the latest word as no one posts the rumors faster and many of you actually make more sense than some of the media/rnalaysts stories I’ve been reading.
I’m in Mets baseball withdrawal right now. Waiting anxiously for the first FA acquire or trade. My money is on K-rod….
yeah im 36 and i remember seeing that movie when i was 8 lol i wondered “what the frick is a penguin” lol
damn i hope the hot stove heats up soon my nipples are freezing :P
Happy Holidays All!
Among other things, I’m thankful to be a fan of the Mets.
CVER SAYS HAPPY THANKSGIVING to MATT and his great staff and ALL OF THE METSBLOG GANG!!!
back atcha cver and case st – damn i gotta go to work at 2 pm – what i wont do to pay my bills lol
Happy Holiday season to all of Metsblog. =]
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving meal!
