Do you have a DW poster above your bed that you fantasize about every night while looking at it? Seriously dude. Get over it. DW was nowhere in the post yet you have to throw it in there.

The similarity in the two are so close too.

One guy was a POS that got way more money and time on a contract before he proved anything and got it anyhow. Then when struggled refused help to get out of his funk because he didn’t “have to”.

The other has proven his worth, career .300 hitter, 6 time all star. A reputation of being a very hard worker, Too many years, perhaps, but the he man haters club will be foaming at the mouth every time he strikes out, or makes an our or God Forbid an error, because even the GREATEST players to ever play, never had one strike out, never left one guy on base, never made an error, but wait until DW does it ONCE and haters club will be celebrating.

Yeah I definitely see the connection between OP and DW – good one

Rusty Staub comes to mind. He is articulate, likable and generally concerned other people. He would would be perfect.

I’d love a show like that. But, who would host it?

Of course, the first guest would have to be Ralph himself.

Hell Joey I get choked up thinkng bout Hodges and what could have been if he had just lived for a few more years…..

And I didn’t have to play for him!

I did get to meet him as a kid though…
He is the kind of guy you follow anywhere

Hi Metsie,

Yes, Tom always chokes up when speaking of Gil Hodges. It is obvious the love and respect he had for this man has not softened over time – now almost 41 years ago. They were both all business when it came to the game and Gil appreciated such discipline in his young player and Seaver in his mentor.

Well lets be honest he choked up when talking about Hodges…

He most definitly LOVES Hodges…the team? Well he loves it but not enough to get choked up about it! LOL

Most guys from the 69 team who will tell you stories will choke up when talking about Hodges he meant that much to them!

He made them a REAL MLB team after years of being a laughingstock comedy show.

Seaver was so choked up at the All Time Mets show. He loves this team. He is still competitive. I love how throws barbs when he is a group discussion. I think he would love the opportunity to write the history of the Mets. He could even have some of the discussions out at his vineyard. Who would turn down an invite from Tom Terrific?

THIS…OR THAT if you Prefer….LOL

He is a Caliman….While he would probably agree to a Bio show where all he had to do were wrap arounds and voice overs it is doubtfull he would be interested in hosting an interview show or doing anything that required a big time commitment.

I do wish he would have a bigger role with this team but where he lives combined with how happy he is doing what he is now and enjoying life I don’t see it happening…

One series they MUST do eventually is do a Bio for each of the people in the Mets HOF…
And do it while there are still people alive to talk about the old timers like Hodges.
Talk to players thay played WITH them, For them and show highlights…

Bobby is always kind of angry.

By: jerseymet

jerseymet — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 18:56:54 +0000

Indeed. That is why he would be perfect for a taped Bio show. He could do it on his time table. He does delight in putting others on the spot. It could lead to news making interviews.

I always wished Tom Seaver had a bigger role with the Mets post-career. But the truth is that he’s very happy making Cabernet Sauvignon in wine country. Wild horses couldn’t drag him away.

Let Seaver host it. He would take it to new level.

My issue with Ojeda is that everything seems to be about the Pitcher…They need someone who can give a regular player perspective especially when it comes to the hitting aspects of the game….

And while Carlin is good the entire show might be better if they had a second player instead of him to interact the way Darling and Keith do so well.

By: jerseymet

jerseymet — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 18:43:58 +0000

Less of Keith…I know too much about his life.

It’s common for young Networks to Just do formulaic programming to fill all the time in a day…

And those Panel shows are the cheapest thing you can do, You pay a host, none of the guests and the crew that shoots it is all being paid to be there anyway even if you shoot nothing.

I wouldn’t expect them to start buying content until all the loans to start the network are paid off , but they do have some talent that would be good for doing some of those things I mentioned….

Truth is what I should do is try and get a meeting to pitch some of these to them! LOL

Definitely agree, Metsie, they need far better original programming including biography show.

Hopefully less of Bobby Ojeda who spoils the pre and post game shows for me.
