  Joe, did you know that “I shot an arrow into the air” other than being the 1st line in a classic poem it also was the title of one of Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone episodes from it’s 1st season?

  That Jay Horowitz is so cute!!! lol

  Hey what would Tug say but “Ya Gotta Believe!!”

    Hey Kay, you are going to love our exclusive one-on-one interview with Jay. Stay tuned.

      HA – that’s awesome Joe (even though I was being sarcastic – fully admitting), I will definitely read that. Even though I think his tenure should have been over 15 years ago, when I met him with Ike Davis 2 years ago, he was the consummate professional and gentleman.

  Oh yeah I know. I’m a huge Twilight Zone fan. Kelly can tell you all about that. I even got her son into TZ and now he even looks forward to the marathons on SyFy much to her dismay. Ironically he was chosen to play a role in his class play at school last year, The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street. At first I thought he was pulling my leg, lol.

    Now that is the kind of school play I wished we did in my time.Would of been a heck of a lot more fun. I’m sure then that you own “definitive edition” series. Watching the original show sponsor commercials with the clips of Serling introducing next week’s episodes are a great to watch.
    • Joe D February 1, 2012 at 6:46 pm

      No kidding, I think I did 12 Angry Men twice, lol.

      As for Serling and the old ads, yes, and don’t forget his smoke filled prologues.
      • Kay February 2, 2012 at 7:52 am

        WOW 12 Angry Men – one of my all time favorites……….

        Something I think many on this board should see (again)………..has quite the message! Making a decision with all the facts, and realizing your first “opinion” may have been/was wrong all along.

  By the way, memo to Jessep, SRT, Agee, TRS86, Xtreem, Donal Joe Diaz et al: I have been anointed by Mack. From now on I’m the only lord around here, not Sandy. However you can still refer to him as savior if you like.
  • srt February 1, 2012 at 6:52 pm

    Hahaha – thanks for the heads up!
  • gategem February 1, 2012 at 7:49 pm

    Lord, as in “Lord of the Flies” or “Lord of the Rings” or perhaps you’re the last of the “Time Lords?”
    • Mr North Jersey February 1, 2012 at 7:55 pm

      I was thinking “Lords of Flatbush” but that probably would only make Wilpon smile.
    • Joe D February 1, 2012 at 8:38 pm

      I guess I could go with Lord of the Rings because sometimes these threads can be like a three ring circus. Plus I think cannibalism went out with the seventies.
  • NJstuckinTX February 1, 2012 at 8:33 pm

    whew, i flew under the radar…
  • Joe Diaz February 1, 2012 at 8:55 pm

    Hey Joe D, I’ve never used the term Lord or Savior! I got lumped in that group cause I don’t hate him.
  • Kay February 2, 2012 at 7:49 am

    I love it…………….does that mean those that make up the word Lord and assume people have anointed Sandy “lord” can/will now stop? Pretend time stopped for me when I no longer watched Mr. Rogers Neighborhood back when Willie Mays was a NY Met!

    Thanks Lord Joe!
    • trs86 February 2, 2012 at 8:07 am

      Nah, haven’t you noticed? We still have a little super hero group running around here in their underwear as well.
  • trs86 February 2, 2012 at 8:06 am

    My vote is for “Lord of the Dance”.
  • Donal February 2, 2012 at 12:10 pm

    I WILL NOT STAND FOR SUCH BLASPHEMY FROM AN INFIDEL!

    Can we still call him the Messiah?
• Fonzie13 February 1, 2012 at 9:00 pm

  Yankees vs Reds.
• Bob L February 1, 2012 at 9:22 pm

  Yankees vs. Nationals in WS…Yankees win it.

  Fantasy Time: Mets get final playoff spot…win 90 regular season games. Shhhhh…still dreamin’….please don’t wake me….

  Why does Jay Horwitz still have a job? The Mets have had poor PR and tons of leaks to the press for years. How come Horwitz never takes heat for it?
  • any February 2, 2012 at 12:27 pm

    I thought that Horowitz had nothing to do with PR, and that he was just the laision guy that set up stuff like player visits, etc.?
  • Joe D February 2, 2012 at 12:34 pm

    USMF, hear me out…

    It’s not Jay’s job to tell the GM what moves he should or shouldn’t make. It’s not Jay’s job to tell the closer not to punch out his father in law in the Family Room at Citi Field. It’s not Jay’s job to make sure his boss doesn’t invest 90% of his money in a Ponzi scheme. It’s not Jay’s job to make sure the second baseman catch a game-ending infield popup against the Yankees. It’s not Jay’s job to ensure the doctors do not misdiagnose player injuries. It is nor Jay’s job to have a GM call a beat writer out in the middle of a press conference.

    However, it is Jay’s job to help clean up in the aftermath of all those things. It is his job to reach out to the media and make himself accessible and keep the lines of communications open and clear. It is his job to ensure that Mets fan events and promotions go off as planned and problem free. It is his job to make sure the players are not inundated with hundreds of interview requests and is discerning about who can or cannot have access to the players. Jay does HIS job very well and diligently carries out all of HIS responsibilities.

  Why, oh why, Eric?
