Frank Cashen RIP

That thread features a Barcs comment that would point to him being a necrophiliac.

 

Frank Cashen made being a Mets fan fun again. It didn't last long but it was sweet while it did. I don't think anybody saw cocaine in professional sports blowing up the way it did in the late 80's. Absent that unfortunate scenario I think Cashen's Mets would have stood the test of time. In the brief period before the storm they were the best in baseball.

 

I hate to break this to you but everything we argue about on this site is a waste of time. I assume we all have fun w/ it so that is why we do it, we aren't changing the course of history.

 

This isn't necessarily true. There are many arguments that are informative and entertaining. And then there are the ones you participate in.

 

ha, good one.

 

I AM a great poster.

 

you are getting there, I wouldn't put you on our Mt. Rushmore just yet.

 

I think you are actually on our Mount Creedmoor.

 

you are trying too hard

 

I deal in reality.

 

If I felt I was wasting my time, I wouldn't post as often. I would still post on occasion just to kill time... maybe.

There are arguments that are fun to have and sometimes one party, or both, learn something.

My thing here is that nerds have rendered baseball arguments damn near worthless, at least the ones like 1986 Mets vs 1998 Yankees.

I suppose comparing pitcher ass sizes and best outfield throwing arm and best MLB mascot can still be debating without too much nerd activity.

 

I find a comparison of the 86 Mets and 98 yanks interesting. Sure there isn't a real concrete answer but we can have fun debating it. what is a worthwhile argument then? I think even if you don't like the 86/98 argument you can still learn.

 

I thank you for being a fan.

 

To his credit, Frank Cashen put together the greatest team in New York Mets history even if they did have the gayest sounding roster: Jesse!...Gary!...Wally!...'Keith' ! .....Hojo!...Lenny! ....Bobby O!.... * just being a dick*

Ol' Frank also had his 'crusty' side as well (referring to Kevin Elster after getting hit with champagne in the locker room after winning the World Series): "You ever notice it's the guys who do the least who spray the most champagne?"

Rest in peace ya ol' crank - you done well.

 

You need new material.

 

It was Niemann, eh? I only remember Cashen in the midst of the celebration dumping 'cold water' after cold champagne which always struck me as a 'wtf'? moment.

Roger McDowell wearing his uniform upside down was another one. : )

 

you need material.
