Very kind of BT here. He and I go way back to me filling in on Wheelhouse with him on SNY. As passionate as they come. Remember doing phone interviews from spring training when he was on ESPN radio at night and I was usually in the parking lot at LA Fitness in Port St. Lucie.

This man’s a NYC baseball treasure. One of the absolute best—and nicest—in the entire industry.

Stewart is a deserving NL Rookie of the Year winner but Benge closed hard to finish 2nd. And considering how vastly he improved after rough start at the plate, in addition to his speed and defense, I'd bet on him having the best career of the candidates when all is said and done.

Was supposed to be on BNNY tonight so feeling kind of weird it's gone. Want to say thanks to everyone who responded with kind words/inquiries about what's next. We'll see. Still enjoy talking/writing bb but more racquetball and doting on baby granddaughter is only plan for now.

Will always be grateful for 20 yrs doing TV that I never saw coming as long-time sportswriter. But it doesn't make today any easier, especially for the many talented colleagues at SNY more affected by the cutbacks than me. Most of all will miss the fun we had on and off the air.

Dave was the creative force, along with other producers, that made BNNY such a unique show, never missing a chance to poke fun at ourselves in addition to expressing opinions on baseball topics from A to Z. A huge loss for SNY.

Usually I reserve my rare posts to ask @SteveGelbs @AnthonyDiComo if the Mets are going to play when it’s raining, but… I was among those whose last day at SNY was today. For 20 years it was hanging out with friends with a side of work. I’ll miss the shows but the people more!
