Selig said today that the second wild card part of the plan may begin as early as 2012.

GM - Managerial Changes/ Speculation
Benjamin Grimm replied to metirish's topic in New York Mets Talk
I remember when he was a player. As I recall, it was pronounced Swame, rhyming with "game". -
She (or he) has some well-weathered hands. Isn't that Snooki on the far right?

Anna is a perfect fit for the reality TV generation.

Edgy posts more photos of shirtless Mets than everyone else combined.

It's a logical breakdown. I just don't like that the number of interleague games per team would increase to 30. But it does allow every team in a particular division to play the same slate of opponents, which is a good thing. It seems that the "rivalry games" would no longer get any special treatment. The Mets would play the Yankees each year, but it would be three games, the same number played by the Nationals, Marlins, Braves, and Phillies.

Rumors today say the Mets are considering... ENDY CHAVEZ as a possible fourth outfielder for 2012.
-
I don't see Murphy being traded, at least not unless the Mets sign Jose, and probably not even then.
-
Which doesn't necessarily require more interleague games... there could actually be fewer (if they choose to go that route) but they'd be spread throughout the season.

Banner Day Back (Split from the Uniform)
Benjamin Grimm replied to MFS62's topic in New York Mets Talk
Hopefully they can make it a pre-game thing. -
Define "whozimawhatwiththeinterleaguethingy".

The blue/black is gone, and the all-black will be seen on the (rare) occasions when the Mets wear the black jerseys. soupcan wrote: Now all we need to do is change the Coloorado Rockies and Arzona Diamondbacks to the Denver Bears and Phoenix Rattlers and we'll be all set. Make that Phoenix Firebirds and I'm with you!

(2) I was hoping they�d go back to a blue squatchee for 2012, but they�re sticking with orange. Squatchee? I've never heard that word, but I assume it refers to the button on the top of the cap. and consequently it did not feel Good I have to call bullshit on that.

I'd rather it was a best of three rather than a best of one. I also don't like the possibility that a 90-win team might have to play a sudden death game against a 83-win team. I'm not sure that that would happen all that frequently, and as long as the Mets are never the losing team in such a game, it really won't affect me at all.

Well, if I ever had to wear a Yankees uniform I certainly wouldn't want my name on the back. Why promote the fact that you've been forced to wear the garb of an evil organization?

This may become official soon. The Daily News reported this morning that the new Houston owner is being required to accept a move to the American League for 2013 as a condition of having the sale of the team getting approved. Each team would (for some reason) have to pay $1 million (to someone) in order to make this happen. The realignment would include the dreaded second wild-card team in each league, and a one-game playoff between the two wild cards to see who could advance to the Division Championship Series.

How about Rusty Staub for the 1970's? Keith for the 80's. (This is the toughest call.) It's also hard to decide which decade to put Piazza in. I'd probably have to go with the 00's, which leaves the 90's (an awful decade overall, until the very end) to Fonzie.

HahnSolo wrote: I like that. Would they wear blue caps with black jerseys? Doubt it. Me too. Here's what their announcement says: The blue cap will be worn with the home pinstripes and white uniforms, and the road grey uniforms. I especially like the part about the blue cap and the grey road uniforms.

Innnnteresting.

I guess that's one of the very few existing photographs of Tom Seaver.

No toothbrush holder for him!

Everyone knows that wins are a faulty stat, but they're even more faulty for relief pitchers than for starters. (By a LOT.) I'd say start with 1 point for a save and 3 for a "tough save". I'd forget wins and losses and try to incorporate some way of measuring inherited runners stranded and baserunners allowed.

I saw that and thought of Ken Boswell.
