    Remember when his nickname was "Radio Gaga"? I remember hearing Ralph Kiner talking about "Radio Gaga" and thinking that he was even less hip than I was. Not an easy feat.

    Of course, Toronto could send less money and get a lesser crop of players back. It's a delicate balance, finding that mid-point that would make both teams happy. If the Mets would have to pay $10 million per year to Jose, but lose Montero, could they get him for $12 million per year (saving the Jays $8 million overall) and send a lesser prospect instead? It's mostly a rhetorical question. I don't think any of us have enough knowledge of the Blue Jays' budget, the Mets' evaluation of their prospects, and the Blue Jays' evaluation of the Mets' prospects, to really know what kind of a deal might be doable.

    Cal Ripken moved to third base as he aged, didn't he? That's another possible path for Jose, depending on who his teammates are, and, I suppose, what his power numbers are.

    I think it's one of the Bob Johnsons. (I've recently posted some missing mug shots from the early days to the UMDB.)

    He's probably extra motivated playing in a stadium that's named for him.

    I have to say, Dillon Gee's turnaround is one of the highlights of the season. Back on May 1 (or thereabouts) I never would have expected that in September I'd be saying, "Oh, good, Gee is pitching today!"

    Okay. I'd say that if the Mets can get him with an annual average salary of $11 million or less, then it's worth considering. Get it down to $8 million and I'm all in.

    I think it will be Terry, probably a two-year deal, no option year. I'd sorta kinda like it to be someone else, but as I said in another thread in the past week, I'm split on whether the new guy would be better or worse, so if they stick with Terry I won't gripe.

    The Blue Jays would have to eat a LOT of money to make it worthwhile. A WHOLE lot of the money. I've moved on from Jose. The Mets do need a new shortstop, but I'd rather that it not be their old shortstop. With his salary, he'll just become one of those guys for whom we'll be looking forward to the season when he "comes off the books."

    I wonder, do the Chicago Cubs still do their team photos as a set of floating heads?

The answer is two: Carl Willey on July 15, 1963 and Jack Hamilton on May 20, 1967. Seven opposing pitchers have hit grand slams against the Mets: Art Mahaffey, Phillies, August 2, 1962; Burt Hooton, Cubs, September 16, 1972; Bob Gibson, Cardinals, July 26, 1973; Enrique Romo, Pirates, October 1, 1980; Dontrelle Willis, Marlins, July 7, 2006; Felix Hernandez, Mariners, June 23, 2008; Jason Marquis, Cubs, September 22, 2008.
