ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Thats a wrap. On to squish the fish.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 It sucked, but it was a quick suck.
Gwreck Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 attgig wrote:you disagree? I think I woulda gree.Darryl put up 37.7 WAR in his Mets career. Beltran is at 32.1 but with 1000 fewer plate appearances.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I think Gary was referring to defense.

Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Here's the exact quote:Ron: Best all-around outfielder to ever play, to ever wear that Mets uniform.Gary: And I think you can say that unequivocally.Okay, Ron did say "all-around" so I guess he was including offense as well as defense.Darryl or Carlos? I wouldn't say it's "unequivocal"; more of a toss-up.
TransMonk Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Semantics...but, Edgy's got a point with the way the question was phrased.

G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Sat in natural light listening to today's game on a pocket radio, which is to say was experiencing a Met-like power outage. Electricity came on after Beltran's last at-bat. Not sure what to make of the symbolism.
