Extra credit, but no extra home runs, for Fitzgerald in 1983 -- it was his first MLB AB.

[Frayed Knot]

I bet that Dickey winds up tied with Koosman & Seaver and never gets that extra .28 win.

[G-Fafif]

Willie Mays no longer ranks among the Top 10 post-1876 hitmakers of all time, being Edge-d last night by some guy whose name Drives By and escapes me

Daniel Murphy needs 11 more hits to pass Carlos Degado and catch Lenny Dykstra and crack the top 40 all-time Mets hitmakers.

12. 2012 R. A. Dickey 222

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Wow, and a good chance to join the top ten in his last start.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder if he'll make that last start. He has his 20 wins, and he threw 128 pitches today. I wouldn't be surprised if Terry sat him. (Or at least pulled him after five innings.)

[Edgy MD]

Skipping Dickey against the Marlins? Might as well rip a win from his record. He's got a Respected Award to win.

As I said earlier, I would be surprised to see him start Monday and grab an inning or two of relief on Wednesday if it would give him a chance to grab an extra win.

This would leave a bunt-single-then-leave-the-game taste in my mouth.

Not only you, but i'm sure some of the people who matter in CYA voting.

[Edgy MD]

Really? I wouldn't blame the voters for not putting too much stock in it, but I see entering a game you're not supposed to be in as being very different from fleeing a game you are supposed to be in. He came out of the pen for an inning in game 161 in 2010, just 'cuz he could.

Anyhow, looks like he's expected to go Tuesday, so it's unlikely to happen.

You missed one. Wright has 41 doubles this season.

[G-Fafif]

And who is this "Alfonso" of whom you speak?

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, kind of an in-game rush job there
