Harvey

[Edgy MD]

Starting Thursday. That is all.

[bmfc1]

Harvey is real and not a figment of our imagination. Get a nap, it's a 9:40 start.

[Guest The Second Spitter]

I'm betting he'll take 45.

Or maybe 46.

I thought he was a figment

clearly not getting 43. If he wants to go one up sequentially he'll skip Bay and have 45 or 46 depending on if he wants to leave 45 for Wheeler.

I doubt the Mets will let him flip it to 34 even if Pelfrey might be done as a Met.

He could double it and take 86, but that wouldn't lessen the pressure on him ;-)

my bet's on 46. should we do a poll?

[MFS62]

He's reached the point that we are no longer concerned with potential and are now concerned with production. Those are the only numbers I care about.

Later

26

45 was already issued this year to Hampson, and although it seems like a longshot he returns it would nominally belong to him I think. 46 same with Acosta. No way do they give up 34 with Pelfrey hurting and all.

I'm thinking 36 (issued in spring to Chuck James who I think has been released) or maybe 33 (formerly belonging to Rottino).

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Let's get bold. 16.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I like 36. He seems more like a 40 to me, but I think that's taken. 39 would be good too, if available.

[Vic Sage]

this reminds me... i've got to start the Broadway 2012-13 thread.
thanks.

70 is the new 30.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Alas, 70 may be the new 30, but according to Rubin Harvey is not the new 70. Permanent number TBA.

OE: It's 33, DiComo says. JCL wins the Vinnie Rottino bobblehead.

33.

John Maine's hopes of number-retirement took a huge hit here.

It was Rubin that reported 70 to begin with.

Nice one. Here he is sad.

Is that a "The Office" bobblehead in his locker?

Right. He warmed up in a spare 70 jersey while waiting for his bespoke jersey to come back from Mohan's.

70 was his spring training one, so they probably already had that BP one made for him. worked out perfectly.

but fine, 33.

Asked about watching the Mets as a kid, first player Matt Harvey referenced was Jon Olerud.

Awesome. He was my favorite player!

[ashie62]

Just pitch well for 10 years.

Yes, definitely the unmistakable guise of Dwight K Schrute.

Ugh. I guess that Aniston and Jordan are fine but (Serby talking to Harvey)...

Q: Three dinner guests? A: Jennifer Aniston: Derek Jeter; Michael Jordan. Q: Why Jeter? A: He was my idol growing up. I loved the way that Paul O�Neill played. And I loved how everyone respected Derek Jeter for the person that he was and the stand-up guy that he was ...the hard worker and the gamer, and he did it day in and day out, never showed anything, never did anything bad in the media or anything like that. People looked up to him everywhere he went. He was like every kid�s idol growing up. Just getting a chance to talk to him and see how he handled everything and how he went about his business, I think that would be helpful.

He went to college and that's the best he can do?

Maybe Jetes could talk to him about that gut.
