Being that a BBC ban completely silenced The Sex Pistols, they tried it again for FGTH 🤣

My spelling is incorrect, but that’s what Jersey Italians call gavonne.

I think it was the first game I ever followed on my phone.

I’d jump on it before the other team has time to change their mind. I’m tired of waiting for him to get it together; he ties his shoelace too tight and he’s out a month.

Long before the stupid extra inning ghost runner rule, Mets played a 20 inning game, Pelfrey pitched the 20th and got either the save or the win (I forget if the Mets were home or away).

Only time I’ve ever been to Fenway, he was the opposing pitcher, I think for the Twins.

Boy, would I love to see his college transcript, especially if he had to take any courses on macroeconomics or international finance policy.

Yes, I remember the trade (Rick Aguilera being the primary piece going out), and until RA Dickey, Viola
had been the last Met pitcher to win 20 games.

Here in Jersey we saw it as a reality show 😉

I haven’t, but I did love the dialect coaching on The Sopranos. James Gandolfini from Park Ridge had a very different voice and accent than Tony Soprano from the North Ward of Newark.

Oh, I think you could definitely tell where Lynch was from. And yes, Ed Glynn spoke properly accented English as well, good catch. Torre’s accent, you’re right, mild.

Perhaps the best b-side ever, unless maybe that honor goes to Rain, which was the b-side to Paperback Writer. But Hey Jude/Revolution was released on Apple, their own label, so I suppose the a/b side decision was theirs. It got plenty of airplay though.

I’ll add Ed Lynch and Joe Pignatano to the list.

Yes…the raunchy guitar sound, the biting lyrics…it was the b-side of Hey Jude, and by *far* the better song.

You may be right. Viola (another good local accent) and Franco both pitched for St John’s.

That accent is disappearing, I miss it. The fact that people can tell I’m from Jersey when I tawk is something I wear as a badge of honor.

Saw them play it live a couple of times before Perverted By Language was released. I don’t specifically remember our misinterpretation of the lyrics, but my friends and I had some of them wrong, including, I believe, those with the title of the song.

Was real good at getting hitters to chase pitches out of the strike zone, which is where he lived.

You mean these things?
