  1. I've been meaning to ask... what does "More Cowgill" mean? I've seen it in a bunch of places and I have no idea.
  2. Voting for all three games played against the Marlins last weekend will close on Wednesday afternoon. Schaefer POTG 4/5/13 - Marlins 7, Mets 5 Schaefer POTG 4/6/13 - Mets 7, Marlins 3 Schaefer POTG 4/7/13 - Mets 4, Marlins 3 Great participation so far this year. We had 15 votes for a losing game (Thursday against San Diego), which is a terrific number. It's nice to see so many people playing along.
  3. I went to two games last week. On Monday I parked near Penn Station and then took the LIRR. On Saturday I drove all the way to Queens and parked for free under the Northern Blvd. overpass. Saturday's plan turned out to be quicker and less expensive.
  4. In each of these pictures, I see him as a clueless interloper.
  5. So to get to 10 players who hadn't played in a World Series, we had to go all the way down to George Foster, who is in 26th place all-time. 1. David Wright 1432 2. Ed Kranepool 1418 3.

  6. 1933, and yes it is!
  7. Harvey Holiday is a legendary Philadelphia disk jockey.
  8. $629 for a ticket in section 531??? Wow!

  10. Voting for Thursday's afternoon loss to the Padres will close on Tuesday morning. Schaefer POTG 04/04/2013 Padres 2, Mets 1
  11. Atchison 1 Burke 1.25 Byrd 1.25 Hawkins 1 Murphy 1.25 Nieuwenhuis 1 Recker 1 Rice 1 Tejada 1.25
  12. Buck 4 Murphy 1 Niese 3 Wright 2
  13. Duda 1 Hefner 3 Murphy 3 Nieuwenhuis 1 Valdespin 1
  14. Please don't quote anybody else's votes in a voting thread; it will lead to that person's votes getting counted twice.
  15. I don't think it's as bad as you recall. That is, if I dug up the correct thread.
  16. Here's the first Schaefer discussion thread, from 2005 and 2006. I think this may include the "several new assholes" conversation that Willets referred to. Either way, it shows how much more lively the Schaefer process was eight years ago when this was all fresh and new.
  17. Sure, it's a bit insensitive, but during his lifetime Steve Irwin pretty much made himself a cartoon character, so if his death is seen as fodder for jokes, it's largely his own fault.
  18. What rays need to do: 1. Kill Steve Irwin 2. Win the World Series
  19. I wouldn't be surprised to see that banner being held by a fan, but it's strange to see it being "endorsed" by a mascot. I wouldn't be at all surprised if an apology was forthcoming.
  20. You're just trying to be argumentative. There's a difference between a nine-inning effort and a single at bat.
