  1. I can see why they named him "Peter".
  2. If he's claimed on waivers, the claiming team is responsible for his salary. (I don't see that happening.) But if he's released, the Rockies are on the hook and the team that signs him only has to pay the major-league minimum salary.
  3. ESPN.com wrote: The Colorado Rockies designated embattled shortstop Jose Reyes for assignment on Wednesday. Before making the move, the Rockies reinstated Reyes from the restricted list, where he had been since being suspended under the league's domestic violence policy. The Rockies now have 10 days to either trade him, release him or have him accept a demotion to the minors.
  4. The Pirates' starter's last name reminds me of an adjective that can be used to describe shrimp.
  5. It would be ideal for a fast-food-franchise clown.
  6. At the time of his passing, Chico was the 12th oldest living Met, at 84 years, 101 days.

  7. Voting for all remaining open games from the month of May will close on the morning of Friday, June 17, some time after 7 a.m. The race for Player of the Month is extremely close; only 0.05 points currently separates the leader from the runner-up. Your vote can make a difference!
  8. I agree. I mean, look at Minka Kelly. As beautiful as she is, she still smells like a guy in a Ronaldo shirt.
  9. SCHAEFER METS PLAYERS OF THE WEEK, 2016 Week ending April 9, 2016: Noah Syndergaard, 4.69 points. Week ending April 16, 2016: Yoenis Cespedes, 7.95 points.

  11. That and about two bucks will get you an AM Crunchwrap.
  12. You're right... I was going by memory. He has zero innings pitched, which technically prevents him from having an ERA, but it's not actually infinite, because he didn't give up any runs.
  13. Derek Bell, 36.00. Todd Zeile, 45.00. The only other Mets with career ERAs higher than 20 are Brett Hinchliffe (36.00) and Tim Hamulack (23.14).
  14. Only Mac Scarce (infinity) and Garrett Olson (108.00) had a worse career ERA as a Met than Morris (67.50).
  15. Zvon wrote: Which card will be worth more one hundred years from now? The one that was the in the highest demand now, and over 8000 circulated: the Colon HR? Or the Colon/Pedro WINS card, of which only 298 exist? I would guess it would be a card that features a player that's still (relatively) well-known in 2116. And that probably won't be Bartolo Colon.
