@Gandhi_And_Pie Mets put their money on the bobtail nag. I would bet on the gray.

@StaceGots Regan. My wife named him after the comedian Brian Regan, since he looked, as a kitten, like Regan's "Cup of dirt" routine.

  • imjasondiamondimjasondiamond: @howardmegdal @AmExperiencePBS I dunno. I'm excited either way. I always love a new American Experience. Always a good series.
  • imjasondiamondimjasondiamond: @howardmegdal @AmExperiencePBS I feel bad now. I'll up my PBS donation.
  • powellnytpowellnyt: @howardmegdal @capitalnewyork @powellnyt Problem too is that Nets are not a young team. Except for terrific Lopez, star core is aging.
  • powellnytpowellnyt: @howardmegdal @capitalnewyork Good piece. Alas an NBA game is 49 minutes long ...
  • tomwatsontomwatson: @howardmegdal @lagranderusty @MHealeySports Sure but second year in - given attendance (the real blowback) - regrets? Handled it poorly?
  • tomwatsontomwatson: @howardmegdal @lagranderusty @MHealeySports Respectful, absolutely. Totally agree. Still, in year three - too much deference.
  • tomwatsontomwatson: @howardmegdal @lagranderusty @MHealeySports I still sense an undeserved deference - if Minaya was on same call, same kind of 'distance'?
  • powellnytpowellnyt: @howardmegdal @capitalnewyork So what's deal w Deron? Cumulative toll of injuries, wrist, etc? Big body for a point guard? Or just bad yr?
