Maybe my favorite Baseball Show ever? Melvin Mora, like I’ve said, was one of my favorite Mets in his brief tenure with the club. Our editors had to cut the part where he talked about his five 9-year-olds for length, so I’ll just write it: He told me they always demand to come with him when he plays in New York because they know it’s the city where their dad was a postseason hero.
That happened. So jealous of Toby right now.
Apropos of absolutely nothing other than James K reminding me of it.

I’ve got a couple errands to run. I’ll be back in a bit. For now, enjoy Wipeout.
I mean… seriously?
Not the most interesting interview I’ve ever done, but the big Easter egg comes when I start asking the Papelbon question, then realize how stupid it’s going to sound to ask him if it felt good to hit a walk-off home run, then try to rephrase it and end up making it sound even dumber. Sheer panic:
I’m off to Citi Field, where there’ll be a whole lot of nonsense we didn’t expect when we set up the Jason Giambi and Melvin Mora interviews. I’ll be back on from the press box, but in the meantime enjoy this Flight of the Conchords video. Before I saw this I had honestly never considered how silly it is that both parts of Space Oddity are Bowie.
There were too many to link all of ’em here.
I probably should have come up with something a little more coherent before the camera started rolling. Meh.
