The remote got a workout last night as two of my favorite teams were playing – and ultimately beating – two of their biggest rivals. The Knicks bounced the Celtics from the playoffs with help from greybeards Pablo Prigioni, Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin. Meanwhile, the Mets beat the Braves in no small part because [...]
Flash Back: It’s 2012… Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas represent the core of Met catchers. The Mets have poorly ranked catchers in the minors and only Camden Maron (Thole Jr.) stood much of a chance of making an impact.
