I'm the Gooden that's sitting on top of the big lumpy orange guy.

[Willets Point]

I'm getting closer to Seaverdom. Of course then we'll both be Seaver.

[Edgy MD]

The Seaverdome, what a simultaneously great and terrible idea.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And we'll both be Seaver about three times longer than we were both Gooden and Koosman.

And after that we'll both be Joan Payson together until the end of time.

Looking back through the thread I had no worries mate, obviously I knew the Mets would be great this season.

I'll bet there is a fella with a baseball for a head a long way after Mrs. Payson

[Willets Point]

I'm going to be Mr. Met instead of Mrs. Payson. Well, I guess I have little say in it. I could be Mr. Turd if Edgy deems it so.

[Edgy MD]

Eleven thousand posts and any reasonably tasteful non-player designation is available to you, Mettle included.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I guess I should start thinking of who I'll be.

Would M. Donald Grant be tasteful?

Why don't you put that to a vote?

EDIT: If you've been around long enough to have that many posts, why not Casey Stengel?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Actually, I think I've decided who I'll be, but I'll keep it a secret for now.

[Edgy MD]

Waytobe.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Kase should have dibs on Casey Stengel,

[Benjamin Grimm]

Has anyone claimed Lorn Brown?

[Edgy MD]

The list of 11K posters includes cooby and myself, so no.

[Benjamin Grimm]

You can have Lorn Brown if you want him.

[Edgy MD]

The Mets are fifth in the National League in starter ERA. Here's one to give you pause... the Rockeis are third.

Only non-players?

[Edgy MD]

Players are all spoken for on the way there.

[Elster88]

Oh. That's too bad. I thought reaching 11,000 posts doesn't mean you can be anyone you want. Would someone who wanted to stay as Seaver be allowed to stay as Seaver?

[Edgy MD]

Well, it would detract from the uniqueness of your ultimate designation, no?

[Elster88]

I just figured my permanent designation would be an easy selection, given my handle.

[Elster88]

Cliff Floyd now has a a higher batting average than Carlos Delgado.

worrisome.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If Delgado has to have a lengthy slump, now's as good a time as any.

But he'd better snap out of it.

[Willets Point]

I'm worried by September and the Mets history of flopping in that month, however irrational this worry may be.

[Benjamin Grimm]

They can have a bad September if they want. As long as they get it back in gear for October. (I don't see them having a September so bad that it will cost them the postseason.)

[metirish]

They finished strong last September IIRC,this team play's hard,credit Willie.

[MFS62]

I'm worried that the lineup is too left-handed, and vulnerable to lefty pitching, especially while young David is having his difficulties..
IMO, tonight will be a test against a lefty starter who has not been having a good year.

[metirish]

I'm very worried that Pedro has only pitched 3 innings since August 15th., and his reaction after getting pulled his last start(nearly crying on the bench) has me worried.
