    Voting for the June 13 game against the Dodgers will close in the next day or two. Only 8 voters so far, so if you're not G-Fafif, Yancy Street Gang, Johnny Dickshot, Kid Carsey, sharpie, metirish, metsmarathon, or Frayed Knot, and you want to vote, now is the time to do it. All three games against the Yankees, and all three against the Twins, will also be closing early in the coming week. I'll post links here in this thread when I get the chance.

    Huge number of hits yesterday for David Cone. Not as big as if he'd robbed a jewelry store or flew a plane into a building, but about as big as if he'd beheaded a cat. The logs show a lot of searches on phrases like "caught in the act" and "caught in the bullpen." Clearly the incident got a prominent mention yesterday. Howard Stern, perhaps?

    I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have any pitchers at all. They'll already be represented by Wright, Reyes, and Beltran. (And perhaps Lo Duca?)

    A while ago I heard that Glavine had 295 wins. Surely he's closing in on 300 by now?

    This morning, instead of the New York Daily News and the Philadelphia Inquirer, I read the Fort Worth Star Telegram. (I read it yesterday, too. For their preview of the Mets-Yankees finale, they said that the Mets will "invade Brooklyn" to play their crosstown rivals.)

    I can't be objective. It got me. By the end of the movie I was a field of goosebump. Four stars. I don't expect the casual viewer to react like I did, but for someone who knows and loves the characters as much as anybody, they did something right. (A lot wrong, but enough right for the goosebumps and the four thumbs up.) MUCH better than the first movie. And now... Mets 2, Yankees 0 in the 7th. LET'S GO METS!

    I remember the Sutton rumors too, but for some reason I seem to think that those rumors came up about a year earlier, perhaps before the 1976 season? Maybe they appeared again in 1977, but Sutton/Seaver smells like 1976 to me. It's the Mets' closest thing to the Yankees/Red Sox, DiMaggio/Williams deal that never happened.

    Pat Zachry is getting a lot of attention on the UMDB today, 30 years later. When I was at Shea on June 2, they played the "Where are they now" video segment that Joe Figliola mentions in his post at the bottom of the page. It was nice that the Mets checked in with a guy who's probably not anybody's favorite Met. If I saw Pat Zachry on the street today I'd never recognize him as the former Mets pitcher. (He's 57 years old now! How time flies!) I also like the Vin Scully quote that "Ramblin' Pete" posted on October 4, 2006: "He was towering, scowling, shaggy looking, bearded... When he entered a game vs. the Dodgers one time, announcer Vin Scully questioned whether Zachary had 'arrived by raft...'" Looking at Zachry's stats, I notice that he had 20 complete games and 6 shutouts as a Met. That probably doesn't rank him all that high on the all-time Mets list, but there's a decent chance that in the future nobody will ever pass him in either category.

    I don't know why you bother paying any attention to what he says, when everything he says is a lie.

    You're one of a very small number of people who are disappointed that today is Friday and not Thursday.

    Yeah, Jose had a terrific April, but while he hasn't been bad since then, he hasn't been all that good either. He does need to show some extra-base ability again. I've been trying to remind myself of the adage that says, in part, that you're never as bad as you look when you're losing. Because the Mets have been looking plenty bad. Like 1979 or 1993 bad.

    "Closed on Thursday." The one that's closing today is still open: http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?t=6597

    Last chance to vote for Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers: http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?t=6597 Voting will close later this afternoon. The best thing that can be said about this game is that it wasn't quite as pathetic as some of the other recent Mets losses have been. Only 7 voters so far. The Mets slump is definitely carrying over into the POTG voting. Once again, this will be the last tally until I return from Texas in a little over a week. Keep on voting, though! I'll tally up all of next week's games (hopefully including many wins) when I get back.
