WFAN sure does miss Chris “Mad Dog” Russo. Not only does their Internet player still sport this pic of Mike Francesa with his old partner month’s after his departure but Bob’s Blitz provides some proof that ratings have gone down.
Check it out here.
WFAN”S Mike Francesa accepted an invitation by Mets executive VP Dave Howard Wednesday to visit the dunk tank at Citi Field. Newsday’s Neil Best asked Francesa if he will be the dunker or the dunkee?
“As long as it’s a nice, warm day and it would be for charity, I’ll gladly go in the tank,’’ he said. “I’m sure I will draw quite a crowd of Mets fans looking to dunk me. I’m looking forward to it.’’
Update 5:17: Mike just spoke about this on-air and confirmed he will indeed do this for charity.

Ok, this may seem like nothing but I just got a tremendous kick out of it.
David Wright told the media that on the commercial flight from Los Angeles, coming back from the WBC, Jimmy Rollins told Wright; ‘It’s on again’.
So, after reading this I figured I would post Rollins quote but first I went looking for a funny/amusing pic relating to “it’s on”… So, I found a pic of this old 45/record and, well look at the artist.
Pedro Martinez is still holding out hope for a return to the Mets despite every indication that they have no interest, according to a friend who has spoken to the righthander recently.
Martinez’s “heart is in New York,” the friend said, so much so that Martinez has refused to put his house on the New York-Connecticut border on the market.
The friend, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said if it’s not the Mets Martinez wants to pitch for a contender with a veteran manager.

David Wright’s two-run, walk-off single sends Team USA to the next round of the Classic.
Weird, but kinda cool watching Derek Jeter celebrate wildly with Wright.
