  1. Do big league first base coaches say, "Two outs, run on anything" or is that just in Little League?
  2. I read that just to be on the safe side, Wheeler will be pitching today without pants.
  3. http://potg.leaptoad.com/mets/images/warning.gif> Voting for all games played through September 13 (through the end of the Blue Jays series in Buffalo) will close on Monday morning, September 21. If you haven't yet voted for these games and intend to, please try to do so soon.

  5. I would have loved to have been able to spend October watching the Mets. 🙁
  6. I can't help but think that the J-Rod group would have been like going from the frying pan to the fire.
  7. I'm not there either. And as http://thecranepool.net/phpBB32/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29502this poll from two months ago reveals, most of us are willing to give Brodie another year.
  8. Not something to worry about. I don't think it would be in Brodie's best interests, or that of his clients, to steer his players away from the New York team with the multi-billionaire owner. But if you're saying that he'd try to get as much money for his players from the Mets as he possibly could, well, that would be his job as an agent anyway.
  9. It's the GM's job to negotiate with players. It's the owner who provides the budget. What I would like to see is Cohen giving the green light to Brodie (or whoever) to spend $X million on Conforto, with X being a high enough number to get the job done.
  10. Okay, so the original deal was $2.6 billion, with Jeff Wilpon running the team for five years. The new deal is $2.4 billion, and no Jeff. Does this mean that five years of Jeff Wilpon is worth $200 million????
  11. Reports are that Steve Cohen will be signing the paperwork today. The 29 other MLB owners will then vote to confirm him in November. The expectation right now is that the approval will be granted and Cohen would then immediately take control of the team. I imagine he'll want to make a big impact this offseason. It should be a very hot Hot Stove.

  14. They seem to lose on most days that end with a Y as well.
  15. So... Aroldis Chapman pooped his pants while on the field? Is this the kind of thing that would be listed on a potential Hall of Fame plaque?

  17. Teddy Martinez?
  18. I'll start with Keith Hernandez
  19. I was at the game on this date in 1987, in field-level seats at Shea (handed down to me from my boss) when Terry Pendleton hit one of the more infamous opposing homers in Mets history. (Thirteen months later I had the privilege of seeing another infamous homer in person, by Mike Scioscia.)
  20. All previously held norms are out the window this year. And it didn't start with the coronavirus. It started with the Nike patch!
  21. He injured his fingernail while putting on his pants. If I had his kind of money, I'd have a team of assistants to put on my pants for me.
  22. =whippoorwill post_id=46268 time=1599830907 user_id=79] I just read that Wheeler hurt himself on his pants and has to skip a start
  23. I thought we were playing $10,000 Pyramid. "Things that you say at a urinal"
  24. Nope. And she's offended that you haven't noticed her before.
