My name is Russ Cohen and I'm a Mets junkie. I admit it. I’ve been watching this team since '68 or '69 and I’ve lived through the good and the bad. After getting a copy of Mets 162-0 by Howie Karpin I was certainly intrigued.

A long hot summer in on it's way to the Hub, Chicago. Baseball fans are already bracing for the heat.

To start it off a recent poll of all big league players asked the question which manager would you NOT want to play for? Ozzie was number one and Sweet Lou was number two. The reason given was most often, they did not want their skipper on TV every day.

I understand his thinking that his “Cubs” years put him over the top but he made his name in Montreal and the Hall made the right decision, sorry Cubs fans.

I think with Dawson and Gary Carter in the Hall as Expos, Tim “Rock” Raines is the last Expos player who has a chance. Read about my new book strike three here along with more insight on Dawson.
