  2. And a 2011 obituary from the Daily News: http://leaptoad.com/mets/clipping.php?filename=00337.jpgEx-Met, later movie actor Greg Goossen, 65
  3. From Newsday, in 1988: http://leaptoad.com/mets/clipping.php?filename=00336.jpgA Gaggle of Goossens Is Catching On
  4. Brian Ostrosser?
  5. The team of Tabloid Cover Derby Models got together recently to practice their placard-holding skills. This is the first time that all seven have been in the same place at the same time! http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/images/team_photo.jpg>

  9. I remember there was a theory that it had something to do with the chest protectors that AL ump wore.
  10. Silver Slugger nominees? We got 'em by the bushel. https://www.sny.tv/articles/mets-yankees-named-2022-silver-slugger-finalistshttps://www.sny.tv/articles/mets-yankees-named-2022-silver-slugger-finalists At a quick glance, it looks like McNeil may have the best chance at winning.
  11. We still have to see what Look Magazine has to say about it.
  12. I got four correct. Was told I need to spend some more time in the minors. This thing shows a three-dimensional strike zone. I think I read that the robo-ump only sees a two-dimensional strike zone, a vertical plane at the front of the plate. I hope that's not true.

  14. Don't worry... Our friends Shelby and Marissa and Jerry and Bob and the rest will be back once the polls start closing and results start coming in.
  15. I think they're done with Trevor May. There will be a lot of competition for Diaz. Interesting that the Mets, with so many pending free agents, didn't look to extend any of them, at least as far as we know. (We do know that they didn't succeed in extending any of them.) Locking up a few of their players would have provided that much less uncertainty going into the offseason. Are we going to have a sister topic for "Rebooting the Starting Rotation"?
  16. New content released today: http://leaptoad.com/mets/scrapbook.php?tabno=D&release=1Expansion Draft, Tim Foli, Shea Goodbye Coverage of the 1961 expansion draft which provided the Mets with their first batch of players. Spotlight on Tim Foli. The Mets made him the first draft pick in the nation in 1968. Shea Goodbye! The final game ever played at Shea Stadium ended the Mets' postseason hopes, but was followed by a star-studded ceremony. Polo Goodbye! The final game ever played at the Polo Grounds had no fanfare at all and very few fans in attendance. Now Straw's the Man Who Stirs the Mets: A Joe Gergen column from Newsday in 1988. Darryl Strawberry is coming into his own as a superstar. From 1969, Bruce Stark portraits of Tom Seaver and Cleon Jones. Obituaries of Bill Robinson and Clem Labine.

  18. I remember that 1980 series. It was really one for the ages.

  20. And the same will happen in the opposite direction with deGrom and the Yankees.
  21. I think simpler is better. Expand the Wild Card Series to best of five and the Division Series to best of seven.
  22. I think someone from the group of Vientos, Baty, Mauricio, and Alvarez is going to get traded this winter. The Mets didn't want to trade any of these guys during the season but I suspect that one or more of them will be needed to swing any major trades. Alvarez is the most likely to stay. I think Baty is most likely to go, but not for any particular reason I can put my finger on.
  23. =bmfc1 post_id=111843 time=1666585846 user_id=73] The 6th seed in the NL playoffs, the last team to make it into the playoffs, shouldn't win the World Series.
  24. Astros. I don't want to be surrounded by Phillie Mania.
