    I think it was more about McNeil than about Lindor.

    The last time I was out in Western Pennsylvania, I saw a sign at the city limit that said, "Welcome to Pittsburgh, the Land of R.J. Reynolds"

    I was going to go with Aunt Esther, but it wasn't an available choice.

    I seem to remember the Padres having an empty Sunday on their schedule years ago, maybe because of a papal visit? I'm not sure.

    I was tempted to go with Rusty Kuntz, but I decided to go with all Mets: Phil Hennigan, Jim McAndrew, Don Hahn, George Theodore, Eric Cammack, Billy Baldwin, Al Weis, Mike Glavine, Charlie Williams. After I submitted my answers, I looked at the "Most Popular" grid, as I often do. This time, seven of the nine squares were Babe Ruth, and the other two were Derek Jeter and Hank Aaron. Ruth had a 0.9 in the Greg Brady spot, and between 0.2 and 0.5 in the others. Jeter was 0.3 in the Bobby spot, and Aaron was 0.2 in Carol's spot.

    Today's was especially easy. I got all nine squares, with a rarity score of zero!

    That's what I was thinking too. Use the "torpedo bats" until they get banned.

    Good for him! I just hope that now that he has a son, he won't change his walkup music.

    I would count Soto first because he would have been announced into the starting lineup* before Holmes was. (I remember Bob Murphy used to say "lineups and batting orders" which may have implied that there was a time when there was a distinction between the two, with the "lineup" being how the players were aligned on the field, while the batting order was, well, the order in which the players batted.)

    Baseball Reference is always slow getting off the ground once the season starts, and since they're the source of the box score data, Schaefer voting will be slightly delayed for last night's game in Houston. I know how disappointed you must be. Please refrain from rioting and overturning vehicles. Thank you.

    Maybe a cannoli for Staten Island, and a raspberry for the Bronx?
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    The crowd isn't reacting at all as the Mets players are being introduced.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    Cleon Jones?
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    Maybe this should be presented as the higher/lower game.

    Looking at the log files, ultimatemets.com has had a larger number of hits in February and March than in any of the twelve previous months. I suspect that most of the additional traffic is, sadly, non-human. But I talked with customer support and for a nominal increase in cost (just five dollars per month) we're being migrated to a higher-capacity server. This will go into effect some time today, if it hasn't already.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, this is dumb, but who cares? And the Mets have been doing silly between-innings entertainment for years. There's no point pretending that New York City is above this kind of thing.

    And here we go again! Schaefer is the Tabloid Cover Derby's less popular little brother, but it keeps chugging along. Voters will vote, votes will be tallied, awards will be announced, and custom Topps baseball cards will be presented. Participation is welcome and encouraged! Those who vote in every game will get a free crappy gift and a chance to dance with Maja at the CPF Christmas party. But intermittent voters are welcome too. It's pointless and tedious and of dubious meaning, but we do it anyway! PREVIOUS PLAYERS OF THE YEAR http://potg.leaptoad.com/mets/images/all_winners_2024.png>

    He only recently entered the list of https://leaptoad.com/mets/oldestliving.phpTop Forty Oldest Living Mets, in January when Felix Mantilla died. Now, his spot in 40th place has been taken by Art Shamsky.

    I'm going to have to escalate this. I was essentially told to figure it out myself (not in so many words) but if I can't get satisfaction I'll look for another hosting company.
