I sure do miss the theme from Sanford and Son.

i remember a few years ago when the fans were booing everyone but when floyd came up not one boo…even the fans knew this guy gave his all…i was kinda proud to be a mets fan (not a common feeling over the years) at this…

I would sign on for Cliffy as a coach. I still remember the sound of hsi wrist breaking when he and HUndley collided. We do have a opening or two.

Cliff was solid for us when healthy. He was also a good clubhouse guy. You can be both.

“I would look into Delmon Young though. Good young, cheap, and his bat is starting to find that power.”

This is exactly why the the chance of the Twins moving him are slim and none

I think it’s tough to find guys like this…because most teams would want a player like that.

It seems more luck than anything when a team brings an established and well-respected vet and they succeed in the capacity we’re talking about. I’d bet that most of those signings end up on the DL or are DFA.

Let’s hope the Mets version of Moe, Larry and Curly (not to insult the Three Stooges) choose wisely. Something tells me that won’t happen.

Torii Hunter always reminded me of a somewhat younger Cliff Floyd.

and while we’re at it, bring back Jose Valentin as a coach.. Jose Reyes hasn’t been the same since he left
