  1. I have a feeling that they bought their uniforms and shoes in Japan at Modells (or Herman's!) after they arrived.
  2. I don't get Firefox errors for "Mets." (Maybe I added it to my dictionary? I don't remember.) I know it doesn't like "Sox."
  3. I didn't even know the forum had a spell checker. I use the checker that defaults in Firefox. (Anything I misspell ends up getting underlined and I can fix it by right-clicking on the word.)
  4. Bring back Eddie Yost! Recent UMDB posters report that he's alive and well.
  5. I love that scoreboard.
  6. Those are 1976 caps, but that picture couldn't have been taken in that year. That's definitely Joel Youngblood in Mets uniform number 18, and he didn't become a Met until the infamous day of June 15, 1977.
  7. I would've sent him out there and would have kept him in at least as long as there was nobody on base. The people blaming Santana are idiots, pure and simple. There was a new columnist in the Daily News this morning. (At least I think he was new, I had never noticed him before.) His name was Tim Smith, or something like that. He was saying, sure, Santana's pitched well, but for the kind of money he's getting, he should pitch a shutout every time out. I couldn't get through the article, though. I know there are some here who enjoy picking apart stupid columns. If you're one of them, you may want to check it out.

  12. themetfairy wrote: It doesn't matter whether it's true. It matters whether the players think it's true. Good point. I'm so glad the Willie Randolph days are behind us. Meanwhile, Santana's thrown 76 pitches through 6. (And Blanton has thrown 109.) Johan's looking like he can go 8 today. I think he'll eat more innings than Blanton will.
  13. ="themetfairy"]I like Jerry's strategy of having the Mets keep on scoring I really hope it isn't true that Willie didn't follow that strategy!
  14. Carlos Delgado is making a case for his return in 2009. I'm so glad the "Mike Carp can't be any worse" crowd didn't get their way.
  15. I am! Fly out to center. Not what I was hoping for, but better than a DP. Maybe Carlos will homer for us.
  16. I'm afraid my psychic intuition is sensing a double play. Hope I'm wrong.
  17. I'm blacked out here in the Philadelphia market. What are the Mets wearing? Blue caps? Pinstripes?
  18. Endy gets a one-out single. It would be very nice to get that one run back here. (Or more, of course!) Come on, David!
  19. ]October 25, 1986 - World Series Game 6 vs. Boston. Enough said. How can that one be topped? It was the apex of my career as a baseball fan.
  20. Is the hill in a notch? (The hill is stupid, by the way.)

I'd much rather see six months of greatness than nine innings worth. I don't even care about the no-hitter thing anymore. In a way, I'd like the Mets to finish their 50th season (2011) as no-hit virgins.
  22. Yeah, really! Why would he want the guy who strikes out looking in every at bat and hasn't driven in a run since the 2004 NLCS?
  23. I'd like to see the 1988 NL MVP re-voted. I really thought Darryl was going to win that one. (And I'd much rather see the Mets end their MVP drought than their no-hitter drought.)
