    Hey, whatever happened to Triple Dee?
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    Would you consider Castillo as the veteran backup? Historically he's hit well against lefties, although not in 2008. There's also Easley and Ramon Martinez.
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    Oh, I hope not. I'm rooting for Murphy to be the Wigginton/Keppinger type guy that they actually keep.
  4. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, really. I wouldn't put Robin Ventura's game-winning shot in the same category as Pearl Harbor.

    What's the deal on Parnell? Are they considering him as a reliever in the big leagues, or a starter? I got the feeling late in the 2008 season that they were thinking bullpen for him, but that might have just been short-term.

    It looks to me like they did attempt to verify it, and ran into a dead end. I know that a lot of people are down on the Times, and not without reason, but I don't think they did anything wrong here. They went further than I would have thought for something so insignificant.
  7. Benjamin Grimm
    I don't buy into the artistic license theory, but it's nice that they looked into it and got back to you. I like that they took the time to try to reconfirm the identity of a person pictured on filthy refuse.

    I'd be happy to see him get about 100 to 120 starts in left field in 2009 and to have them revisit the second base idea for 2010.

    It sounds like Steve was talking about it in the present tense.

    My post total is second to yours, but I never reset myself to zero. My 20,000 or so posts includes the ezBoard totals as well as my name change. I think your biggest competition for all-time post leader might be Scarlett/Cookie Mom/metfairy/Inside Pitcher...
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    True. Their last two high-visibility position changes didn't work out, so maybe they've become gun-shy. Although both of them are now several years in the past. (Reyes to second to make room for Matsui, and Piazza to first.)

    I know we haven't seen that much of him yet, but right now my sense is that Murphy will get on base at a rate that would be terrific for a second baseman, but I don't know if he'll put up the slugging numbers that you'd want from a corner outfielder. If so, he'd be much more valuable as a second baseman, so I hope that the experiment works out, if not in time for 2009 then in the years to follow.

    What Mets pitcher got a nickname from Police Academy?
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    If you build it in a basement, make sure it's not too big to fit through the door when you eventually want to take it out of there. Otherwise you'll have to dismantle it (and auction off the parts) when he sells the house.

    I'm not sure I understand the animosity.
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    They do seem to have demolished around it. Maybe it will be moved to Citi Field. I imagine the new place will have some advertising, no?
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    And Game 5B will conflict with the big Obama 30-minute paid funfest.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    No game resumption tonight. Game 5 is now scheduled to resume tomorrow night.

Imagine it getting one extra night's reprieve in similar weather-driven circumstances. I was thinking the same thing this morning. What a memorable last game that would have been! If only...
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    I live 24 miles (as the crow flies) north of Citizens Bank Park, and it's currently snowing. And it's even sticking to the ground!
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    I have to skip this one. I did see Fast Times but it made no impression on me. I remember nothing about it. And I'm not sure whether or not I saw Police Academy. I'm thinking probably not.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    I don't recall seeing either, so, obviously, I'm skipping this one.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    Well, yeah, you really can't finish the game in Florida. That would really be a travesty.
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    I'm equally confused.
