I'm gonna close this tomorrow morning. Real MVP voters have to get their votes in before the postseason begins, so we'll stick with that rule here. If you're interested in voting, try to do it today.
-
vtmet's vote will be disposed of. No sharing of votes between two guys. Also, he overlooked this: ]I'll do the tallying next week. Try to vote, if you can, before the playoffs start on Wednesday night, lest ye be unduly influenced by NLDS heroics.
-
Marathon, can you move that post to another thread? It's gonna screw up my tallying.

I thought it might be fun (but what do I know) to vote, MVP-style, for the most valuable Met of the year. I can leverage my magic Schaefer spreadsheet for this task, so if you're interested in voting, just enter your picks Schaefer style (the players last name followed by a number; include a first initial if you vote for any of the three Hernandezes). Vote for ten players, giving your top choice ten points, your second choice nine points, etc. I'll do the tallying next week. Try to vote, if you can, before the playoffs start on Wednesday night, lest ye be unduly influenced by NLDS heroics. If possible, let's save the comments until the voting is closed, or put them in a discussion thread. (Thanks.) I'll start: Beltran 10 Reyes 9 Wright 8 Delgado 7 Lo Duca 6 Glavine 5 Wagner 4 OHernandez 3 Valentin 2 Chavez 1

The Mets will go into the playoffs with only two 10-game winners on their pitching staff, the fewest ever for a Mets team that made the postseason. The 1969 team had only three, by the way.

It's gotta be Shirley.

I've read both Midnight and Rice, and wasn't too terribly impressed with either. Midnight was a fun and colorful read, but I read it after I had heard all the hype, and it didn't live up to it. Anne Rice should have stopped after Interview With A Vampire. (Or maybe I should say instead that I should have stopped reading her books after I read Interview.) I think I read three of the books from her Vampire series, as well as her first book about that witch family and The Mummy. I liked The Mummy, but the witch book was awful and the stories about Lestat got less and less interesting the longer they went on. Now Anne Rice is born again, and she said that all of her future books will be about Jesus. There probably won't be many New Orleans locations in those stories.

When you do, I hope you'll post excerpts here.

He might, but only because it's been a slow day so far. The current leader is Buzz Capra.

Are you mocking my in-house comedy team?

That film sounds like it's about 100 minutes too long.

When I see "crumby" I find that I mentally pronounce the B.

We're waiting Tom. Feel free to cowboy up. Huh? Glavine in September, before last night's start: 2-0, 3.91 ERA. 19 strikeouts, 6 walks, 22 hits in 25.1 innings. Not spectacular, but by today's standards not bad at all.

I'm pretty sure that one day, Dontrelle will be pitching with an NY on his cap. The problem is, I suspect that George Steinbrenner is spilling saliva over the D-Train as well.
-
I think Omar will set his sights on Zito (and/or Schmidt) and Soriano. We'll see. That's November stuff though. Right now I'm more interested in October stuff.
-
They may also be fatigued. I'm hoping the Mets will be charged up to play a meaningful game after all this running out of the clock. It's wishful thinking, I know. But it's what I'm hoping.

I think the New Orleans team was known as the Pelicans before the Zephyrs were displaced in Denver by the Rockies. A different ownership group had planned to name their expansion team the Denver Zephyrs. Weird name, but better than Colorado Rockies.
-
="Edgy DC"]They better carry an emergency sixth starter in the bullpen. It'd suck to need a guy to start in Flushing and have the Zephyrs be in Vancouver or someplace. But it would be convenient if the Zephyrs were in Vancouver while the Mets were in San Francisco. They just need to time their emergencies. And rename the team! I prefer Pelicans.

Mark my words... In two years it'll be Syracuse.
-
My prediction: After the Phillies abandon Ottawa for Allentown, the Blue Jays will grab Ottawa and the Mets will move to Syracuse.
-
I was thinking Brooklyn, too. Maine is a good choice also, I guess. I remember a team called the Maine Guides. I think they played in Portland?
