Dude, 6 = Wally Backman.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Don't tell me. I wore six in honor of Wally Backman. I... I... object!

On an outfielder, it has a different mojo.

YSG, here's a placeholder for you:

[Guest Edgy DC]

i'm thinking Chris Woodward should cough up four and let Milledge shake the Boisclair out of it. Would Ventura fans mind?

By the way, there's room on the roster.

According to WFAN, Lastings will start and bat eighth.
Of course, that's where you stick a kid with great speed and a .425 OBP at AAA.

SC= way up there.

Wow, I didn't even click on this at first because I thought it was one of the "Call Up Milledge...NOW!!!!" threads.

I hope Nady's okay, but this is going to get interesting.

[Guest Edgy DC]

His on-base percentage at this level is .000.

Valid point.

I just phoned the Mets and Sarah told me she has no idea what # Milledge will be wearing as that info has not being given out yet....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sarah is a liar.

Sarah, who is of course Mr. Met's wife.

[metirish]

Guys I really pressed her on it, told her that we really needed this info, she swore she didn't know...I think she was telling the truth, I then asked her for Jay Horwitz's #, she hung up.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I heard that they're going to pixelate his uniform number on tonight's telecast, so that viewers won't be able to tell what number he's wearing.

[Guest sharpie]

All hail the Super-Size Super-Sacred Seaver Post!

Mets website has his spring training number of 65 listed.

AAAAAAAAAA! HAIL!

[soupcan]

HAIL!

[metirish]

Hail Seaver..

[nymr83]

yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!
it milledge time!!!

[Zvon]

Hail Seaver !

Well, this is a shocking bit-O-news. Especially the type of "injury" Nady has suffered.

]CBS SportsLine.com wire reports The Mets said Nady, who missed two games last week because of a sore lower back, should be able to resume baseball activities within 10 days. He is hitting .267 with nine homers and 22 RBI in his first season with New York.

10 days sounds kinda optimistic, afaic.

Its gonna be exciting to see Milledge in action, even if its only for a limited engagement.

I think that just about all appendectomys are "emergency" becuase the goal is to get them removed before they burst, which causes a whole new set of problems and greatly increases the mortality rate of what's otherwise fairly treatable.

Lastings is wearing number 44.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

44 is pretty daunting for a young outfielder: Jay Payton & Ryan Thompson never lived up to it.

[Guest sharpie]

Number is reserved for African American outfielders only.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Here's hoping that he's the new standard for # 44!

[Willets Point]

And that he hits like a 44:

[Guest Edgy DC]

This is also the third anniversary of David Cone's retirement.

[seawolf17]

I... must kill... the Queen.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Darnell.

His middle name is Darnell.

[Willets Point]

All three names are two syllables.
