    Or our own Eric Chavez: Zero All-Star selections, 260 home runs. .000
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    Bud Harrelson. Two All-Star selections, seven home runs. .286
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    I guess Molina and Wainwright and Pujols if the Mets end up playing the Cardinals. A couple of Dodgers, like Justin Turner and Clayton Kershaw. Who else is there?
  4. Benjamin Grimm
    Art Howe?

    Martinez started the last four games of the season.
  7. Benjamin Grimm
    Maybe he needs an ankle injury every once in a while to give him a jump start.
  8. Benjamin Grimm
    Ramon Martinez. 2000 Giant, 2006 Dodger. Later played in 19 games with the Mets in 2008 and 2009.
  9. Benjamin Grimm
    Yes to Andre Eithier. No to Matt Kemp. Our remaining guy is a 2000 Giant and a 2006 Dodger and a former Met. Roger Clemens (1986 Red Sox, 2000 Yankees) Jeff Kent (2000 Giants, 2006 Dodgers) Jim Edmonds (2000 and 2006 Cardinals) Andre Ethier (2006 and 2015 Dodgers) Greg Maddux (1999 Braves, 2006 Dodgers) J.D. Drew (2000 Cardinals, 2006 Dodgers)

    =TransMonk post_id=108033 time=1663681930 user_id=71] I didn't realize they were going to be on the field after the game. I left after the final out and hugs on the infield.
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    Yes to Clemens, Kent, and Drew. I think Clemens is the only one I would have gotten on my own. 1. Roger Clemens (1986 Red Sox, 2000 Yankees) 2. Jeff Kent (2000 Giants, 2006 Dodgers) 3. Jim Edmonds (2000 and 2006 Cardinals) 4. Greg Maddux (1999 Braves, 2006 Dodgers) 5. J.D. Drew (2000 Cardinals, 2006 Dodgers) Two more: One is a former Met, and one is not. Both were 2006 Dodgers.
  12. Benjamin Grimm
    Correct! I had completely forgotten that. Even with the reminder, I still have forgotten that. 1. Jim Edmonds (2000 and 2006 Cardinals) 2. Greg Maddux (1999 Braves, 2006 Dodgers)
  13. Benjamin Grimm
    Yes to Jim Edmonds. No to Rick Ankiel. 1. Jim Edmonds, 2000 and 2006 Cardinals.
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    It does now! I must have forgotten to update the number; the Magic Number over the Cardinals is 7. The most games they can win is 101, and the Mets need seven more to match that total.

    NEW QUIZ There are seven players who have appeared in more than one postseason series against the Mets. One of them is in the Hall of Fame. Two of them have appeared on multiple Hall of Fame ballots, but have not been selected. Two of them are former Mets, neither of whom ever appeared in the postseason as a Met. None of them were 1969 or 1973 opponents. They have all been selected to at least one All-Star team. Usual guessing rules apply.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    The Mets have played postseason games against 13 different teams, with 16 teams that they haven't faced. Possible first-time opponents this year are the Phillies, Padres, Brewers, Blue Jays, Mariners, Guardians, Rays, and White Sox. Possible repeat foes are the Cardinals, Braves, Dodgers, Yankees, Astros, and Orioles. Here are the teams the Mets have played: Arizona Diamondbacks (1999 NLDS win) Atlanta Braves (1969 NLCS win, 1999 NLCS loss) Baltimore Orioles (1969 World Series win) Boston Red Sox (1986 World Series win) Chicago Cubs (2015 NLCS win) Cincinnati Reds (1973 NLCS win) Houston Astros (1986 NLCS win) Kansas City Royals (2015 World Series loss) Los Angeles Dodgers (1988 NLCS loss, 2006 NLDS win, 2015 NLDS win) New York Yankees (2000 World Series loss) Oakland Athletics (1973 World Series loss) San Francisco Giants (2000 NLDS win, 2016 Wild Card loss) St. Louis Cardinals (2000 NLCS win, 2006 NLCS loss)

    Two Happy Outcomes yesterday: A Mets win and a Brewers loss. Two Unhappy Outcomes: Braves and Dodgers win. The Phillies, Cardinals, and Padres were idle. The Mets have become the third team to clinch a postseason spot this year, following the Dodgers and the Astros. The Brewers now fall off our chart, as they can no longer end the season with a better record than the Mets. They remain a possible playoff opponent, however. If the Mets fail to win the division, their first-round matchup will likely be either the Padres, Phillies, or Brewers. If they do win the division and advance directly to the NLDS, their foe will be one of those three teams, or the Cardinals. The Mets have never played a postseason game against the Padres, Phillies, or Brewers.

    Well, 25 guys and Darin Ruf.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Vermont, became the 14th state on March 4, 1791. We're almost down to the Original Thirteen: Betsy Ross territory! But the lead is a slim one. Will we make it to Delaware? Will we make it past Delaware? https://designshop-6aa0.kxcdn.com/photos/usa-vermont-send-vintage-greeting-card-house-16571_89.jpg>

    2022 marks the 8th time that the Mets have won 94 or more games in a season. Prediction: Their next win will be their 95th. Most team wins in a season 1. 108 (1986) 2. 100 (1969, 1988) 4. 98 (1985) 5. 97 (1999, 2006) 7. 94 (2000, 2022) 9. 92 (1987) 10. 91 (1990) 11. 90 (1984, 2015)

    Shame that Max can't try to finish this game.

    Anthony DiComo wrote: When asked about the clubhouse plans this week, veteran pitcher Max Scherzer was adamant: “You celebrate making the playoffs.” “There's a scenario where we fight for this division, come up just short, and then go to the Wild Card round not appreciative of where we're at, and then lose that round and then you haven't even celebrated your season,” Scherzer said. “I think that would be a mistake not to celebrate your season.”
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    But the Brewers' website says 7:40 Central.
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    Did they change it? MLB.com says 7:40 Eastern.
