All Purpose Spring Training 2011 Thread

[Guest Edgy DC]

Start with this baby. Name these three early-comers visiting the Port St. Lucie Little League.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Middle's Evans.

Are the others newbs? I'll go Capuano, Tankersley.

[batmagadanleadoff]

That's Jason Tyner, front and center with a baseball in his hands. Is Jason back with the Mets again?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Thole on the left.

I don't think the middle guy is Evans.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

A youngster sporting Carolina Mudcats gear in Port St. Lucie? Wow, now there's a surprise. That's like seeing a Binghamton B-Mets outfit at a gathering of Little Leaguers in Goodyear, Arizona.

I'll guess none are on the 40 man roster. 3 pitchers?

Middle guy might not be Evans, but that's NOT Thole. (Thole's got a squarish jaw and a frat-boy squint. This guy? No.)

nickeas, nieuwenhuis, niese

[Guest Edgy DC]

LWFS got Capuano and Evans. Still looking for the guy on the right. Not Thole or Tankersly and certainly not niese.

[Ceetar]

Thole's in Vegas this weekend for a friends wedding anyway.

Nickeas? The way he has the two fingers spread on his leg is catcheresque.

[Theoldmole]

Looks like Henrik Lundqvist. but that can't be right.

Good call. I'm with Cee.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nickeas is right. He appears to have been out shopping with Piazza for hairstyles and shades.

It's almost here!

[Guest themetfairy]

Mr. Met is on his way!

I assume you mean the Image is almost here.

[Guest themetfairy]

I see it - don't you?

[Guest themetfairy]

How about now?

[Willets Point]

Hooray for Mr. Met!

[metirish]

Is that a truck load of Fred's money?

[Guest Edgy DC]

So very welcome are you, Sir.

Yeah, and it's leaving town too.

Depends what you're measuring to. P&C report in 6 (same temp it was at Citi yesterday). I report in 34.

Jason Pridie: GREAT BEARD ALERT! (And groomed, too!)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Is it too late to give him a bonus?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And to think... it might all go to waste, if he's headed to Buffalo.

DO IT FOR THE BEARD, PRIDIE!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Here's an annual ritual --- the gratuitous baiting column singling out the whipping boy for not showing up early. Kevin Kernan of the Post, ladies and gents.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Kernan's a kunt. The other day he remarked that Capuano -- unlike Oliie Perez -- threw a bullpen session "thoughtfully."
