For all of you Jets fans out there, and anyone who had read the site earlier and heard that I was going to the Subway Series game today, you'll never guess who I was sitting in front of.

None other than starting center Nick Mangold, with his wife, who is about three times smaller than he is.

Nick was seen in a large orange Mets hoodie and wearing a backwards Met cap. 

It was quite a sighting.

I was a young child in the early 90s, exactly 3 weeks old, when I attended my first Met game, at Shea Stadium, in the upper deck no less.

From that point on, I was a Met fan.

Being pushed around in a stroller at age two, when the Mets were horrible, I used to sport my little Mets shirt and hat.  People always used to ask me who my favorite player was.

Not having a very expansive mind at such a young age, I could only remember one player, and he quickly became my favorite.

Rico Brogna.

I have been told that people were quite surprised by the obscure answer, as there were so many different players that I could of chose.

But I picked that one.

As I have gotten older, I have had a few players that I really liked; Rey Ordonez, Turk Wendell, Timo Perez, Todd Hundley, but none will ever be as pure to me as Rico Brogna.

Now I have my very own website named after him.

People think it's quite a strangely named blog, and for good reason too.  Many people either don't know or even remember who Rico Brogna is.

That's why I chose it.

Due to the off day on Monday, Jason Vargas, who made his first start as a Met on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs, will have his start skipped.

It is unlikely he'll pitch again in the majors for a long while, as Orlando Hernandez is slated to come off the DL ina  few days after recovering from elbow bursitis.

Jorge Sosa seems to have a somewhat more fixed role, however, after his three straight quality starts, and will continue to pitch until further notice.
