    Inning ends with an out at third after the third run scores on another hit.

    Mets already down 2-0 with two out in the top of the first. Pelfrey's given up three hits.

    Now Keith is saying it's two to eight weeks. I feel bad for Jose, especially if this isn't caused by any controlled substance. The reports on him were so positive; his legs feel great, he's missed playing baseball, he hit that triple and poured it on, he was prepared for a big year, and then this comes along seemingly out of nowhere.

    The Mets broadcasters are saying he'll need eight weeks of rest.

    I thought so! Thanks! You really can't rely on people's memories, can you?

    Al Leiter is saying that he was the starting pitcher for the Mercury Mets. I seem to think it was Orel Hershiser. Anyone remember the date of that game?
  7. Benjamin Grimm
    Let's see what the next two or three weeks bring.

    Okay, anyone who's experienced all four sensations, raise your hand!

    Wait... how can the Human Torch play Captain America???

    He also forgot Fay Wray. I believe I've experienced three of the four, but maybe only two. (I'm not sure if I've ever scored a goal; if I did it was in gym class and it didn't leave an impression.) And I've never shaken hands with Jerry Grote. I'm a "Facebook Fan" of his. Maybe I can ask him about that quote!

    And there really do have to be some restrictions. Otherwise an owner can move his team (to make an extreme example) to Tokyo. The travel would be grueling, both for the Tokyo team and all the visiting teams, but if he didn't care about that, he'd make a hell of a lot of money in a huge baseball-crazy city.

    Kinda like shaking hands with Jerry Grote.

    Yes, it's the SNY telecast that they show. On Tuesday, though, they showed a different game in the 1 p.m. slot. (I think it was the Nationals, but I'm not sure.) The Mets game was shown later, at 11 p.m.

    Good thing we've ruled it out in Jose's case!

    What's with all the DHing in Port St. Lucie? Is this something new this year? Seeing Lackey and Cameron in the Sox starting lineup reminded me of this thread.

    I know it only seems fair for teams to locate their businesses wherever they see fit, but I'd hate to see MLB become like the NFL, with all the shuffling that's occurred. I know the NFL isn't exactly hurting for fans, but if I had been a Baltimore Colts fan, I wouldn't have embraced the Ravens. We'd probably think we're safe as fans of a major market team, but New York has lost baseball teams before, and Los Angeles has lost two football teams, to lesser markets like St. Louis and Oakland. I may not be the typical fan, but if the Mets ever left New York I'd be done, finished as a sports fan. I wouldn't root for the Indianapolis Mets, and I wouldn't root for the New York Padres.

    For those of you not in New York and who have access to a TV this afternoon, today's game is going to be on MLB Network at 1 p.m.

    I was 100 per cent sure that Melvin Colon was innocent.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    Well, that map ignores population, which is a key component.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    I think, despite your instructions, they're voting with their hearts and not their heads. How could you possibly be 100% certain that Jose didn't take anything illegal? I remember reading in Rookie how Dwight Gooden said he'd never use drugs, because he was brought up right. I was naive enough back then to think that that statement meant something. Not anymore.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    He seems to be saying that since Jose had never before been linked to PED's, then there's no reason to think that he took anything illegal. It's like saying that O.J. couldn't have killed his wife and her friend because he had never previously murdered anybody.

    There certainly are places that are expansion worthy, if they wanted to go that route, which I doubt. The South is the fastest-growing region of the country, and while there are teams in Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta (and St. Louis) there's still a big untapped region in the South East. I'm pretty sure the Carolinas or Tennessee could support a team. I know you need a larger population base to support an MLB team than you do the NFL or NBA, but there are plenty of people down there. And yes, the New York area can (and should) get a third team. North Jersey is the most likely spot, I'd think. I'd like to see a population-map of the U.S. overlaid with the market areas for the existing MLB teams. I think we'd see some obvious areas that could be exploited.

    I voted 40. I think there's a 40 per cent likelihood that HGH has something to do with this.

    Well, if you just float within your league, then that wouldn't happen. The Mets would only be able to be in the NL East or NL Central. (Based on the time zone rule.) The Rockies, though, would be able to play in any of the three divisions, East, Central, or West. You know, as weird as this is, I'm not necessarily opposed to it.
