Is he related to Harry?

Is Steve Albert available?

I'm not crazy about this one either: https://live.staticflickr.com/244/459386761_3284600f6c_b.jpg>

Have they officially introduced Verlander yet?

No, but you're allowed to bring your favorite courtroom artist.

The second round is now complete, and the Tabloid Cover Derby will take a holiday hiatus, with voting resuming in early January. The Daily News holds a commanding position, with twelve of the remaining sixteen covers, the highest total ever for a single publication at this stage of the competition.

He could platoon with Canha. Or unseat Vogelbach.

I'd like to see it happen. http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2015/20150726_NYDN_02.jpeg>

What does this mean for Travis?

2005: Tom Glavine, Pedro Martinez, Kris Benson, Victor Zambrano, Kaz Ishii.

In 1999, the five pitchers with the most starts were Orel Hershiser, Al Leiter, Rick Reed, Masato Yoshii... and Octavio Dotel. Tied for sixth place: Bobby Jones and Kenny Rogers. So that doesn't quite qualify, but it comes pretty close.

All second-round polls have now been posted, and we're waiting for the last few to close. At that point, our Sweet Sixteen will have been established. We'll then take a hiatus over Christmas and begin the third round on or around January 1.

They could keep 48 in circulation and retire it later, like they did with 17 and 36.

Phil Mushnick, New York Post wrote: In 1969, Bill Parrinello, 12 years old and from Elmont, N.Y., wrote fan letters to his favorite Mets: Cleon Jones, Tom Seaver, Tommie Agee, Bud Harrelson, Ed Charles and spare outfielder Rod Gaspar, who in that championship season batted .228. The only return he received was an autographed picture of Gaspar, with a note of thanks. In 2005, Parrinello emailed this memory to The Ultimate Mets' Database message board. Last week, Parrinello received an email thanking him for his 2005 salute to Gaspar. It was from Rod Gaspar, now 76 and living in California. For real? Parrinello was dubious. He called the number Gaspar included. After swapping obscure details of the 1969 season, he knew it was the same Met he wrote to 53 years ago. They had a nice chat, Gaspar pleased to be remembered. Pen pals for life.
