  1. Is that the Neil Diamond song?
  2. He doesn't like pitching spring training games in grey pants.
  3. Bob Mould? Wasn't he the Republican presidential nominee in 1996?
  4. It may not be Washingtony, but my vote would be for Tony Randall singing "Happy and Peppy and Bursting with Love"
  5. Have they named that ballpark yet? Or is it really going to be Nationals Park?
  6. The thing I'm finding most surprising about this thread is that people are saying it's time-consuming to vote. I just think about the game for a minute or two and then type in my points. I figure that's almost certainly how Lindsey, Bob, and Ralph did it. (Actually, I bet they farmed it out to some nerd who was in the WOR truck.)
  7. And I'm sure they're both ignoring the egg that's dripping down their faces.
  8. Well, let's hope then that this is one of those cases where the best trade is the one you didn't make.
  9. There was a Rheingold Mets Player of the Year Award? I have no memory of that. (And I do remember when Rheingold was a Mets sponsor.)
  10. I did a search on Google News, and found nothing. I checked WFAN's awful web site (on the rare occasions that I go there, it always makes me want to take a shower afterwards) and saw nothing, but I couldn't bear to stay long enough to do a search. That web site is even more loud and obnoxious than the radio station is.

  12. Yeah. I'm not entirely convinced that, if Perez leaves the Mets next winter, that we'll be all too upset about it.
  13. Okay, I'm satisfied. There's enough interest here for me to continue the tradition into its fourth year, thereby giving somebody a shot at unseating three-time champion David Wright. The tallying effort has been automated to such a degree that, even if we only have as few as 6 or 8 die-hard voters, I won't feel like I'm wasting my time running this show.
  14. So far the reaction seems rather lukewarm.
  15. I'm figuring we'll do the Schaefer thing again this year, unless everyone tells me not to bother. Rather than type in a lengthy announcement/description, I'll let last year's post speak for itself: http://archives.cranepoolforum.net/5800/f9_t5858.shtml We have a few new members here who might not know what Schaefer is (at least, in the CPF context). The link I pasted above, along with the link at the top of the page, will hopefully explain all.

I would doubt that. But he looks like we'll be glad to have him around as a fourth outfielder, a guy who won't be a drag on the lineup when he starts.
  17. The Mets should let Jerry Seinfeld play in a game on the same day that Billy Crystal does.
  18. How about a big red A? Danny Partridge!
  19. He seems like a starting pitcher to me. And his number should certainly be odd. How about 43? Danny Partridge.
  20. AG/DC wrote: I also think there's no reason to believe Oliver Perez is a snap of the fingers away from leaving the Mets. No, not unless that finger-snap occurs some time in December or January. There's a long way to go before Oliver's free agency. I think there's a decent enough chance that the Mets may not even opt to pursue him next winter. So much depends on how Perez's season goes.
  21. Seeing Delgado comeback would be even better than seeing him come back.
  22. The reviews that I've seen have been pretty bad.
  23. You need to narrow that avatar, 3D.
  24. I think the Mets will be the team to beat this year as long as their regulars don't play.
