Turn off the lights. There will be no mo' Nomo for you. Hideo Nomo is hanging it up after four years in Japan and 13 years in the majors over here. He was the Tony Batista of pitchers with your tornado delivery. At least he can say that he was better than The Fat Toad of New York.

Every once in a while, there is a day that the NYT op-ed page really shines.  Today was not one of those days.  Among the offerings this Thursday was a piece by Christoph Peters, a German author, giving what I’m going to guess is the mainstream view in Deutschland on Sen. Obama’s somewhat…

Mets 10-Game Winning Streak

I thought the Mets had this game locked early on until the Reds took an 8-6 lead in the Bottom of the 7th. The Mets looked so flat in the 8th so I began to think that the winning streak was coming to an end. Jose Reyes struck out to begin the 9th Inning which wasn’t a good sign. All of a…
