This afternoon's question

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

The calendar has been decent this week.

Seems like half our roster is on the wrong side of 40, but we had just one in 2005. Who was it?

Roberto Hernandez?

One minute! One stinking minute! That beats the previous record of three minutes!

Impressive.

I'd forgotten about 'Bert.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The man came back in 2006 in time to get a post-season share.

I hadn't realized how long it was up, I was only tryoing to beat whoever was next.

I remember Robocop.

Harder to remmeber are his would-be competitors for the late innings that year: Manny F. Aybar ... Mike F. Matthews ... Mike F. DeJean ...

As I recall it, all of us just sat there with our mouths open waiting for Willie to figure out that '05 pen. That he had, by June, seemed like an awful long time until 2007 happened.
