  2. Latest news is that Fox is planning to "reboot" the Fantastic Four series. Apparently they hold the rights to the characters "in perpetuity" as long as they keep making films. So their options are: 1. Lose the characters 2. Make a third movie in the current series, which has had mediocre (at best) quality and less than mediocre reception. 3. Reboot, as was done with the Hulk. New cast, new interpretation, new... whatever. I think this is good news. I'm still hoping to see my favorite characters get the treatment they deserve. I was afraid that the two recent movies doomed my hopes for at least a generation. Now... maybe not.

  4. Yes to Medich, Puig, Darensbourg, and Jefferson. No to Bowa, Conine, and Anderson. 1962 9/10/1962 1963 9/4/1963 1966 9/9/1966 Shaun Fitzmaurice 1967 9/1/1967 Joe Moock 1967 9/3/1967 1967 9/7/1967 Al Schmelz 1969 9/19/1969 1969 9/19/1969 1970 9/1/1970 1970 9/20/1970 1971 9/14/1971 1971 9/15/1971 1972 9/21/1972 1973 9/15/1973 1974 9/12/1974 1974 9/13/1974 Rich Puig 1974 9/16/1974 1976 9/4/1976 1977 9/29/1977 Doc Medich 1984 9/1/1984 1986 9/7/1986 Stan Jefferson 1987 9/12/1987 Randy Milligan 1987 9/18/1987 1989 9/7/1989 1989 9/16/1989 1990 9/5/1990 1990 9/7/1990 1990 9/14/1990 1990 9/30/1990 1991 9/4/1991 1991 9/10/1991 1992 9/18/1992 1993 9/6/1993 1993 9/29/1993 1996 9/14/1996 1996 9/15/1996 1997 9/3/1997 1998 9/5/1998 1998 9/8/1998 1999 9/10/1999 2001 9/3/2001 2003 9/12/2003 Matt Watson 2003 9/14/2003 Mike Glavine 2004 9/4/2004 Vic Darensbourg 2004 10/3/2004 Joe Hietpas 2005 9/2/2005 2005 9/3/2005 Shingo Takatsu 2007 9/5/2007 2008 9/5/2008 Ricardo Rincon
  5. I'm honored just to have been nominated.
  6. Could be. I think I liked Brett because I was counting on his Royals to beat the Yankees in the ALCS just about every October from 1976 to 1981.
  7. Hietpas is the only guy on the list with an October debut. No to DePastino and Fordyce. 1962 9/10/1962 1963 9/4/1963 1966 9/9/1966 Shaun Fitzmaurice 1967 9/1/1967 Joe Moock 1967 9/3/1967 1967 9/7/1967 Al Schmelz 1969 9/19/1969 1969 9/19/1969 1970 9/1/1970 1970 9/20/1970 1971 9/14/1971 1971 9/15/1971 1972 9/21/1972 1973 9/15/1973 1974 9/12/1974 1974 9/13/1974 1974 9/16/1974 1976 9/4/1976 1977 9/29/1977 1984 9/1/1984 1986 9/7/1986 1987 9/12/1987 1987 9/18/1987 1989 9/7/1989 1989 9/16/1989 1990 9/5/1990 1990 9/7/1990 1990 9/14/1990 1990 9/30/1990 1991 9/4/1991 1991 9/10/1991 1992 9/18/1992 1993 9/6/1993 1993 9/29/1993 1996 9/14/1996 1996 9/15/1996 1997 9/3/1997 1998 9/5/1998 1998 9/8/1998 1999 9/10/1999 2001 9/3/2001 2003 9/12/2003 Matt Watson 2003 9/14/2003 Mike Glavine 2004 9/4/2004 2004 10/3/2004 Joe Hietpas 2005 9/2/2005 2005 9/3/2005 2007 9/5/2007 2008 9/5/2008 Ricardo Rincon
  8. Grzenda was an August guy. 1962 9/10/1962 1963 9/4/1963 1966 9/9/1966 Shaun Fitzmaurice 1967 9/1/1967 Joe Moock 1967 9/3/1967 1967 9/7/1967 Al Schmelz 1969 9/19/1969 1969 9/19/1969 1970 9/1/1970 1970 9/20/1970 1971 9/14/1971 1971 9/15/1971 1972 9/21/1972 1973 9/15/1973 1974 9/12/1974 1974 9/13/1974 1974 9/16/1974 1976 9/4/1976 1977 9/29/1977 1984 9/1/1984 1986 9/7/1986 1987 9/12/1987 1987 9/18/1987 1989 9/7/1989 1989 9/16/1989 1990 9/5/1990 1990 9/7/1990 1990 9/14/1990 1990 9/30/1990 1991 9/4/1991 1991 9/10/1991 1992 9/18/1992 1993 9/6/1993 1993 9/29/1993 1996 9/14/1996 1996 9/15/1996 1997 9/3/1997 1998 9/5/1998 1998 9/8/1998 1999 9/10/1999 2001 9/3/2001 2003 9/12/2003 Matt Watson 2003 9/14/2003 Mike Glavine 2004 9/4/2004 2004 10/3/2004 2005 9/2/2005 2005 9/3/2005 2007 9/5/2007 2008 9/5/2008
  9. I liked Boog Powell. Kirby Puckett. Frank Robinson. George Brett.
  10. Okay, trivia time... There have been 34 Mets who debuted on or after September 1, and never again played for the Mets in any subsequent seasons. The challenge: Name them! The hints are below, the year and date of their debut. (Not all of these guys are "call-ups." There are a few who were late-season acquisitions from other teams.) 1962 9/10/1962 1963 9/4/1963 1967 9/3/1967 1967 9/7/1967 1969 9/19/1969 1970 9/1/1970 1970 9/20/1970 1971 9/14/1971 1971 9/15/1971 1973 9/15/1973 1974 9/12/1974 1974 9/13/1974 1974 9/16/1974 1976 9/4/1976 1977 9/29/1977 1984 9/1/1984 1987 9/18/1987 1989 9/7/1989 1989 9/16/1989 1991 9/4/1991 1992 9/18/1992 1993 9/29/1993 1996 9/14/1996 1996 9/15/1996 1997 9/3/1997 1998 9/5/1998 1998 9/8/1998 2003 9/12/2003 2003 9/14/2003 2004 9/4/2004 2004 10/3/2004 2005 9/2/2005 2007 9/5/2007 2008 9/5/2008
  11. So what did we learn from that? Francoeur: Big part of 2010 plans. Top priority: Catcher. Lennon's hunch: B. Molina. Wilpons: Don't want another disaster season. Big plan for offseason: Count on existing players returning to health. Delgado return: Maybe, but probably not. Schneider, Putz, Green: Gone. Next year's rotation: Santana, Pelfrey, Perez, Maine, Niese. Prince Fielder: A lot of talk, but he won't be a Met. (Before reading this session, the thought never even crossed my mind.) Nothing really earth-shaking, but kinda interesting.
  12. When I was a kid, I liked Willie Stargell, Johnny Bench, Bob Gibson, and Roberto Clemente.
