Lot of ex-Mets and ex-Indians looking at that list

Armando Benitez with 271 is next in line among active pitchers. Todd Jones, Jason Isringhausen and Bob Wickman are the other members of the 200 save club still active

John Wettelund?

[Gwreck]

He was on there as "Jeff Wetteland" (9th overall, with 330).

Correct spelling is John Wetteland.

Perhaps it would help the team pull out of the doldrums if the Mets were required to sport Rollie Fingers-style old time curly-que handlebar moustaches.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Perhaps it would fail to help the team pull out of the doldrums, but nonetheless be entertaining if the Mets were required to sport Bruce Sutter-style old time mountain-man beards.

Reports, by the way, say Lima is looking decidedly less flamboyant.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I guess getting hammered every time you take the mound and eventually being sent down to Norfolk has a way of humbling a guy. Hopefully, he can give the Mets 5 reasonable innings as an emergency sub for Pedro, then back to Norfolk he goes following the All Star Break.

At least his reinstatement helps the wifey watch thread.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's one way of putting it.

You certainly don't want your hairstyle making a bigger statement than your performance.

Reardon's beard could beat up Sutter's beard.

Oh, come on. Sutter's beard kicks ass.



Reardon's beard might come in handy if you're holding up a convenience store, but Sutter's has its own post office.

That shot above is of Reardon during a Sutter-ish phase.

In career Rolaids Mountain Man points, Reardon isn't even on the charts. It's Sutter vs. Hrabosky and no others need apply.

Harbosky had a beard? I thought it was a Fu Manchu that puts The Goose's to shame



By the way, unlike most of these guys, Al has long since retired the facial hair

[Guest Edgy DC]

Al eventually expanded his act to include a beard, then expanded his beard into it's own sub-culture.



Eventually, he added a mullet



which, along with the Fu and the beard, should pretty much make him the patron saint of relief pitchers.
