In Decemeber of 1984 the New York Mets made the blockbuster trade to acquire arguably the best catcher of the decade which was the cog that was the final piece of an eventual championship team in 1986.</p> <p>The only player number retired by the Mets is #41, Tom “The Franchise” Seaver’s number. I know that people have clamored for players like Keith Hernandez and Mike Piazza’s numbers to be retired and perhaps they will be in due time but I believe that the number this team should retired is #8. Gary spent just 5 seasons in New York and while his numbers dipped towards the end of his career, I believe it’s not all about statistics. Carter was great in his first two seasons and his “never say die” mentality not only inspired others but was on full display when down two runs, with two outs in the 10th inning facing elimination Gary singled to left field which led to the infamous “gets through Buckner” moment and a championship for New York. Gary Carter’s presence on the field and in the clubhouse led to a championship, some great thrills and changed the face of the franchise. That, in my opinion, is more than enough reason to retire Gary Carter’s number.</p> <p>The Mets won the World Series 4 years before I was even born and I feel very strongly about this, so I’m sure that the Mets fans who have been around longer than me feel the same way if not stronger. This man was a hero and a role model to all and was the kind of person that I can only hope that my one day future children would resemble. The Mets play at home on Opening Day this season and I can think of no way to honor Gary Carter better than to have everyone on the Mets to wear #8 that day and retire the number following the game.</p> <p>I’m not sure who, if anyone, will read this but I can only hope that the Wilpons, Sandy Alderson or anyone else in management will realize what I have and retire #8.</p>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17787828505http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17787828505Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:02:00 -0500mlbbaseballnew yorkmetsnymgary carter“I’m not going to be the one to make the last out.”<br/><br/> - <em>Gary Carter on Game 6 of the 1986 World Series (Rest In Peace Kid)</em>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17731981607http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17731981607Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:58:51 -0500gary carterworld series1986game 6mlbbaseballhall of famecatcher<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzg3weXndw1qfgi90o1_r1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Nice try, Mark.</p>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17675358810http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17675358810Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:19:05 -0500mark sancheznew yorkjetssantonio holmesvalentine<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/17594026492/tumblr_lzd9bmKiYL1qzvxv2&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>“Go to Sleep” - Lupe Fiasco</p> </blockquote> <p>Goodnight.</p>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17594026492http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17594026492Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:47:46 -0500lupe fiascogo to sleephip hopfood &amp; liquor II<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzcgty1Ulg1qfgi90o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://sportsnetny.tumblr.com/post/17559208579/mets-next-stop-port-st-lucie-florida" target="_blank">sportsnetny</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tweet-user-block-screen-name user-profile-link js-action-profile-name" href="https://twitter.com/#!/Mets" title="New York Mets" target="_blank">@Mets</a><span>: </span>Next stop —- Port St. Lucie, Florida!! </p> </blockquote> <p>So close!</p>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17561689796http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17561689796Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:35:58 -0500<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz8id34ett1qzvxv2o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Lincredible.</p>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17426655237http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17426655237Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:15:03 -0500nbasportsbasketballcinderellajeremy linlinlinninglincrediblelinsanitynycnyknew yorkknickslandry fieldskobe bryant38 pointsclutchwinning streaklos angelesLAlakersLALsportsnet new yorkSNYESPNMSGmadison square gardenhype<iframe src="http://www.funnyordie.com/embed/8826a5db24" width="400" height="266" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Will Ferrell introduces the Chicago Bulls and New Orleans Hornets lineups.</p>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17320424223http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/17320424223Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:51:00 -0500Will Ferrellbasketballbullschicagoderrick rosenbaSNYsportsnet new york<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz060snuRN1qzvxv2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It’s official… Jeremy Lin is amazing.

I’m not a fan of the greatest teams but they usually do pretty well and no matter how much I complain at my TV about them, I’m still a fan.</p> <p>This month, however, has just not been fun. It’s felt like awhile since I’ve actually really enjoyed watching sports because of my teams losing and teams I dislike winning. Tonight I discovered the following results.</p> <p>Since January 1, 2012…</p> <ul><li>The Jets went 0-1 and were eliminated from playoff contention.</li> <li>The Knicks have gone 4-8, including losses to 5 teams under .500.</li> <li>The UConn Huskies Men’s Basketball Team has gone 2-4, all 4 losses are to unranked teams.</li> <li>The Patriots have gone 3-0 and clinched a Super Bowl berth.</li> <li>The Giants have gone 4-0 and clinched a Super Bowl berth.</li> <li>The Syracuse Orange Men’s Basketball team have gone 6-1 and are ranked #1 in the country.</li> <li>And finally, while I’ll always be excited about them, I’m not too sure about the Mets this season.</li> </ul><p>So yeah, in terms of sports, it hasn’t been that happy of a new year. But things change, team’s get hot, so I’ll wait it out, as always, and keep watching, cheering and, most likely, complaining.</p>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/16335376172http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/16335376172Sun, 22 Jan 2012 23:56:00 -0500nflfootballsportsnbancaabasketballuconnjetspatriotsgiantstom bradyuconnhuskiessyracuseknicksmetsmlb<a href="http://www.5thDown.tumblr.com">The 5th Down</a>: <p>My new sports blog, take a look, follow us and send it to your friends!</p>http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/16175731128http://blog.richmacleod.com/post/16175731128Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:03:02 -0500the 5th downsportsnflmlbfootballnhlnba<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwkg8z6iN1qzvxv2o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Don’t know who to root for in the playoffs Jets fans?
