Pictures from Camp

[Guest Edgy DC]

Petey works out for DR in Mets togs:



The irony is, when he was with the Mets, they could never get him in a blue cap on photo day:

[metirish]

Cool pictures , Petey looks strong...sign him now.

[seawolf17]

Dammit, I want him back. Get him on a minor-league deal, Omar.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Soon as you sign him, you'll start hearing about the toe issues and so on. I think Freddy Garcia is going to be our designated fragile pitcher.

I'd hope for better, but Jefferies wasn't awful. Benjamin Grimm Feb 13 2009 08:38 AM Actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Murphy posted numbers similar to those of Jefferies', and that would be okay.

Could the unis get any baggier? 'Cuz I don't think they could. Green looking mean and lean in Heilman's old togs. Abreu's swing has the wide open finish of a lefthander. Cool, except that it looks like he's about to run to third. The great Pam Lowe. Shrek in his home run trot. Maine hacks in his un-used playoff beard. Pitches from the stretch also. Look at these three: Are all the Mets pitchers dipping? John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 03 2009 05:43 AM Green has a very unusual delivery.

Edgy DC Mar 21 2009 11:06 AM It was Garrett in 45 that led me to conclude this was 1969, Garrett's rookie year. I think McGraw missed that camp with military commitments. I'm thinking spring training because Ralph and Connors are in away uniforms, and the rest in home togs. Besides, "special batting instructor" is such a spring training honorific.

Daniel Murphy. �All he talks about is hitting, hitting, hitting," says J.J. Putz. "It�s not a stretch
to say that it consumes about 90 percent of his day.�

[Benjamin Grimm]

]�All he talks about is hitting, hitting, hitting," says J.J. Putz.

I remember reading similar quotes about Gregg Jefferies.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hey. HEY!

Shut up.

[soupcan]

As long as Murphy stops short of swinging a bat in a pool, I think he'll be okay.

[seawolf17]

I'd be okay with Murphy giving us what Jefferies gave over his career. I'd hope for better, but Jefferies wasn't awful.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Murphy posted numbers similar to those of Jefferies', and that would be okay.

I'd just hope he'd do it without all the drama and the pouting.

[Guest Edgy DC]

[Frayed Knot]

That's Pelfrey w/his new required headgear following an afternoon where he tipped over a golf cart.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Apparently borrowing Pedro Martinez's gut, also.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm starting to get the feeling that, were this a Little League Met squad, Pelf would be quite sore-of-ass from the daily wedgies.
