Not sure that's a race we want to "win".

[Ceetar]

Rob Johnson, #928, got the first hit of the game last night.

How many players have Houston and Los Angeles/California/Anaheim/Los Angeles of Anaheim had?

[Ceetar]

Angels are at 874.

Astros at 765. not keeping up at all.

Cardinals lead the pack with 1995.

In case he makes his Mets debut while I'm at work today, I wanted to post a picture of Robert Carson in action -



As always, anyone who is nice to MK is alright in my book -

[G-Fafif]

Robert Carson, Met No. 929.

[Edgy MD]

Jack Egbert, getting the job done as Met # 930.

[Edgy MD]

Met Number 931: Omar Quintanilla



Fact About Captain Quint: Once traded for Jay Witasick.

[Gwreck]

Elvin Ramirez, 932

[Edgy MD]

Here he is.



Quintanilla is ropy little guy, huh? Looks like a little martial arts master.

[Edgy MD]

Met number 933 is Justin Hampson.

[Edgy MD]

Putting stress on his uniform is Met number 934, Josh Edgin.

[Edgy MD]

Currently scheduled to be Met # 950: Matt den Dekker.


Currently scheduled to be Met # 975: Francisco Pe�a (movin' up!)


Currently scheduled to be Met # 1000: Daniel Muno.

[Edgy MD]

Met number 935, already having logged a scoreless inning and a two-out double: Matt Harvey!

[Frayed Knot]

It wasn't a pretty debut, but Garrett Olson became the 936th NYM on 8/8/12, facing 5 batters and actually retiring one of them.

I suppose there's some relief to the 'kid' (now 28 y/o) that it wasn't his ML virgin effort.

Projected Milepost Mets

940 Adam Loewen, Buffalo outfielder
950 Zack Wheeler, Buffalo starting pitcher

Doesn't look like Gronauer is making the majors.

950 looks good for Wheeler though, I think it depends on what spot in the rotation he ends up with next year( assuming he does anyway, if not 950 might be low)

[Edgy MD]

I'd be shocked if any of those tickets came in on the money. And I wouldn't be surprised if only Wheeler ever tasted a postgame spread as a Met. (Gronauer and Reyes have both been demoted this season.)

Just taking a snapshot, using only vaguely scientific principles. Predicting the future is HARD.

just weighing in.

The Wheeler one is interesting actually. How many new Mets do we think debut as Sept callups, and how many are new for Opening Day? does that put us past 950?

Word is probably Familia. Lagaras is on the 40 man so an easy call up. Havens?

I noticed this pic on UMDB as well. Its not Omar, its Jordany. Players in column Q get no love.

[Frayed Knot]

#937 = Kelly Shoppach

[Edgy MD]

I'm Met #938, Collin McHugh. Bringing it this afternoon against the Rockeries.

What?

[Ceetar]

Familia and Fred Lewis are here to get us to 940.

[Edgy MD]

Not until/unless they get into the game.

[Ceetar]

Edgy DC wrote: Not until/unless they get into the game.

They've got all month. but looking like we're capping at 940.

[Frayed Knot]

Buffalo's final game has been rained out in central PA - so it's jail break time for the call-ups in a rush to get to StL
Planes, trains and automobiles at the ready.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Fred Lewis and Jeurys Familia need numbers. My guess:

Lewis - 22
Familia - 47

[seawolf17]

I thought we retired 47 for Glavine. Well, not retired so much as lit it on fire and swore we'd never speak of those days again.

[Edgy MD]

I think 47 works best on lefties.

Unfortunately, Glavine didn't always work best in 47.
