  1. I like Fergie's list, although I might replace him with Jim Palmer.

  9. For whatever reason, Baseball Reference is always slow out of the gate at the beginning of each season. The March 30 box score is, therefore, not yet available, so Schaefer voting will also be delayed. Hang in there! I know how eager everyone is to participate!
  10. Cosell? Any relation to Howard?
  11. I know what I'm hoping...
  12. Coming into the 2023 season, 1,184 men (or boys) have played for the Mets in games that count. We have nine new players on the Opening Day roster: John Curtiss Tim Locastro Omar Narvaez Tommy Pham Brooks Raley David Robertson Dennis Santana Kodai Senga Justin Verlander Let the counting resume!
  13. To make room for luxury seating, I think? Isn't this where the Mrs. Payson Club is going to be?
  14. And here we go again! Schaefer is the Tabloid Cover Derby's less popular little brother, but it keeps chugging along. Voters will vote, votes will be tallied, awards will be announced, and custom Topps baseball cards will be presented. PREVIOUS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR http://potg.leaptoad.com/mets/images/all_winners2022.png>
  15. Jerry Grote wasn't at Old Timers Day, was he? I hope he's doing okay.

  17. I gave up on spring training games a long time ago. The last time I watched a spring training game I only lasted one inning and I recall Lucas Duda was in the game. Watching spring training is like eating a bowl of soup at room temperature. I've found that I enjoy it when the first game I watch each season is one that counts. Feels better that way, at least for me.
  18. http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/DarinRuf1977.jpg> Looks like Topps and Typewriter ended up using the same photo. The Designated Hitter rule has rendered the Schaefer Mets Bench Player of the Month/Year award completely meaningless. Ruf was the winner for 2022 mostly due to an appearance as a mop-up reliever. It really may be time to retire the Bench flavor of Schaefer.
  19. 1. What will The Mets' record be? 95-67 2. Where will The Mets finish in the NL East? Second place 3. Will The Mets make the playoffs (yes/no)? yes 4. If so, A. Where exactly will their record land, 1 through 6 (remember that there are 3 Wild Cards), in the NL; Fourth B. How far will they advance; and, NLCS C. The number of games in their final round? Six 5. Who wins the World Series (can be the same answer as Q.4.B.)? Dodgers 6. How many home runs will Pete Alonso hit? 44
  20. Oh well. Bad trades are always going to happen, and this was one of them.
  21. This could also be about delaying his eligibility for free agency.
  22. I wonder who ended up winning that game of Rock Paper Scissors?
  23. If ya really wanna shift, bring in an outfielder, per Jayson Starks and some teams messing around with the notion. https://theathletic.com/4336237/2023/03/23/mlb-two-man-outfield-shift/https://theathletic.com/4336237/2023/03/23/mlb-two-man-outfield-shift/ I've been thinking that this is inevitable, and will probably be addressed in yet another rule change for 2024.
  24. He probably means he'll take one home with him after the game.
