    David got his 994th hit last night, tying him with Jerry Grote for ninth place. He's now three hits away from Howard Johnson and eighth place.

I'm like the big dumb ape squeezing the poor little lovable rabbits to death. I understand that you're only looking for conversation, but I've gotten the distinct impression in past seasons that your scrutiny seems to intimidate some people from voting. "Well, if I'm going to get ripped for giving Santana a 4 instead of a 2.83, why should I bother voting?"

    I should use that for his UMDB mug shot.

    And if we continue to get good outings from Pelfrey, Niese, and Perez, then yes, I think the playoffs are a possibility. It's a lot of ifs, but sometimes there are seasons when just about everything goes right. All we can do is hope that this turns out to be one of them.

    Voting for all three games of the past weekend's series in St. Louis, including the historic 20-inning zeropalooza, will close on Wednesday morning. If you have any votes still to cast, please try to do so today. Schaefer POTG 4/16/10 - Cardinals 4, Mets 3 Schaefer PTOG 4/17/10 - Mets 2, Cardinals 1 (20 Innings) Schaefer POTG 4/18/10 - Cardinals 5, Mets 3 The Sunday game (April 18) is still a little bit low on votes. So far we've heard from themetfairy, G-Fafif, Chad Ochoseis, Benjamin Grimm, John Cougar Lunchbucket, metirish, LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr, and Frayed Knot.

    Pagan is doing a nice job as a sub, but he's no Carlos Beltran. Getting Carlos back as soon as possible would go a long way to making something out of this season.

    Yes, use your own judgment. And please don't let the judgment of others, expressed in this thread, keep you from participating. It's too early in the season to start eating away at the voter pool.

    I like how Ed Coleman says, "He needs a blow." (Does he still say that? I remember that from around 2005. "Willie says that Piazza needed a blow.")

    I just told you! Steve Garvey wore number 6!
  13. Benjamin Grimm
    6 would be nice. He'd nestle right between Wright and Reyes. (Numerically, not physically. Or maybe both.) Number 6 would be good for a guy who looks like Steve Garvey. And it's also Stan Musial's number. And maybe it will keep Wally Backman from becoming the Mets manager.
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    I hope he gets an appropriate uniform number. (I don't know exactly what that means, but if he gets an inappropriate number, I'll know it!)

    Watched it yesterday and liked it a lot. (I gave it three stars.) I agree that it started stronger than it finished, and that the flashbacks were the most compelling parts. Part of me, though, wishes it had been set in the U.S., so that we'd be able to see Regis Philbin in the back room torturing the contestants. You just know it happens that way!

  19. Benjamin Grimm
    I think if Davis comes up and does reasonably well, he'll stick. But if after 20 games he's hitting .180, he goes back to Buffalo and Murphy reclaims his job.

  21. Benjamin Grimm
    I do wonder what will happen with Murphy if Davis plays well and stakes a solid claim on first base. As they say, it's the good kind of problem to have.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jacobs landed in Buffalo and returned to the Mets at some point later in the season if somebody else got injured.

    LaRussa twice sent up relief pitchers to bat with two out and the bases loaded while he still had a position player on the bench, and despite that he ended up running out of pitchers before Jerry did and therefore had to get three innings from position players. Jerry certainly should have gone to Frankie Rodriguez earlier (that was my peeve from the other 10-inning loss from the previous week) and he's by no means the smart guy I want managing the team. But I do think he outmanaged the guy who is considered a genius. (And that doesn't mean that Jerry's a genius; it means that LaRussa very much isn't.)
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    I hope you get one soon, Valadius. I was 23 when the Mets won in 1986, and since then I've had an inner peace about my fanhood (if that's a word.) I knew I'd never end up like one of those 80-year-old Cubs or Red Sox fans who had never seen their team win a World Series and knew that their time was running out.
