Philadelphia Inquirer reporting that Art Howe may have interviewed for a coaching job with the Phillies, who fired three coaches when the season ended.

Deleting is bad form anyway. It was obvious you were being sarcastic, by the way. I assume Steve found the joke to be in poor taste.

Thanks, Irish! http://leaptoad.com/mets/profile.php?PlayerCode=0573

I didn't know about this rift, but apparently it's been healed: BEN SHPIGEL in the New York Tiimes wrote: In about three months, Darryl Strawberry has gone from wanting no part of the Mets to throwing out the first pitch for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. Strawberry had a recent dispute over money with the team that caused him to initially turn down the Mets’ invitation to be part of their August celebration honoring the 1986 World Series-winning team. But he resolved the issue and said he was excited about being part of the organization again. “It means a great deal to me, to really tie the bond here, because it was very special for me to play here and win the rookie of the year and win a championship in ’86,” Strawberry said. “You know, the great years that we all had here, the bond that I have that’s really starting to develop back with this organization, it means to me more than anybody could imagine.”

And if you die from arguing about it we'll make jokes about you.

The quality on that one is too poor. I'm going to have to pass on it.

"Working on it" is a bit of a stretch. I did do a search and came up empty. If anyone can find a good clear headshot of Cory Lidle in a Mets cap, I'll be glad to use it. I imagine that there's one in the 1997 yearbook. My scanner's not working or I'd dig out my copy and scan the photo. If anyone has the 1997 yearbook and a working scanner, I'd appreciate the assist.

Sorry about that, silver. Cleon's our black sheep. He speaks for himself, and not for any of the rest of us.
-
You could say the same about Jeff Reardon too. Maybe the Jeff Reardon news broke earlier in the day.
-
It's a bit surprising, but you get 15% more hits on the UMDB on the day you get arrested for robbing a jewelry store than on the day you crash your airplane into a Manhattan highrise.
-
Lidle running away with UMDB hits today. Still a long way behind Jeff Reardon on 12/27/2005. But the night is young.

="Willets Point"]What was the original title of this thread? And why don't we have a Meet the Mets singalong? The original title was "East Side." Naturally, in my current frame of mind, I saw that and thought, "West Side, everybody's coming down..."
-
That's not good. I thought this thread was going to be part of a Meet the Mets singalong.

Let's not get too cocky here. We're still vulnerable to a three-game losing streak. And if the Pirates could do it, so can the Dodgers.
-
]The Mets' appeal when he was young? "The blue hats," Lugo said. "I used to love the blue hats they used to have." Man has good taste. Unfortunately, these days the Dodgers caps are blue much more frequently than the Mets caps are.
-
Poor cleon. I can imagine how sad he must be feeling right now.
-
Nope. You had all day yesterday.

Interesting that two people didn't vote for Glavine at all, and three didn't vote for Lo Duca.
-
And here are the results. Ten points for a first-place vote, nine for a second-place vote, etc. Twenty-five people voted, which is pretty close to how many baseball writers vote each year, I think.

Barry Zito Meter 10/3 Do we go after no matter what cost
Benjamin Grimm replied to stevejrogers's topic in New York Mets Talk
Don't forget Guillermo Mota. What a turnaround he had this year after he was traded. Of course, some will argue that it was our old friend "Change of Scenery" who fixed what was wrong with Mota. -

There's always rumor and innuendo. -
Daily News is saying this morning that Oliver Perez will be on the postseason roster. Ugh. I hope he doesn't get into any games. While he can sometimes pitch well, he's more likely to be awful on any given day.
-
Nothing would be more foolish than giving Oliver Perez a postseason start.
