    Ceetar wrote: I suspect it's a combo of Reyes and Collins. And I suspect that suggestion of restraint had more to do with him hesitating around first last night, and getting thrown out when he thought the ball was going home instead of just gunning it. Interesting strategy. Encourage Jose to play at a somewhat subdued level in the guise of preserving his health, but at the same time emphasizing his fragility to potential off-season suitors.

    Make that two Crane Pool honors: Another start by Dickey could have Schaefer implications as well.

    I think the deal with the Mets and the A's for Art Howe involved Oakland saying, "Please take him."

    We're nearing the end of the line... All three games played against the Phillies at Citi Field this past weekend will close on Wednesday morning. Please try to get any outstanding votes submitted some time today. Final Schaefer winners for September, and for the 2011 season, will be announced on Friday. Schaefer POTG 9/24/11, Game 1 - Mets 2, Phillies 1 Schaefer POTG 9/24/11, Game 2 - Mets 6, Phillies 3 Schaefer POTG 9/25/11 - Phillies 9, Mets 4

    The team lead in games played, after 160 games, is a tie between Jose Reyes and Willie Harris, at 124. Angel Pagan is next with 123, and then Jason Bay with 122. Jose has clinched at bats, runs, hits, triples, and stolen bases. He currently leads in doubles with 31, but Justin Turner is right behind him at 30. (Carlos Beltran also has 30, but he's very unlikely to add to that.) Jose will also end up winning all of the "triple slash" categories. Beltran's 66 RBI is likely to end up as the leader, but David Wright with a strong two days can tie or pass that. (He has 60.) Among the pitchers, R.A. Dickey will have the best ERA at 3.28, and Dillon Gee's 13 wins will be the most. Dickey will lead in innings with 208.2 and the team strikeout leader will be Chris Capuano, who currently has 159. And Francisco Rodriguez will be the save leader with his 23.

    Starting outfield of Harris, Evans, and Pridie. The whole starting outfield appears to be done for the season, huh? (Duda and Pagan are both officially through, and Bay doesn't seem to be getting over whatever his illness is.)

    Right. There's no need to cut Pelfrey loose prematurely. If you can retain him at an acceptable price, you might as well keep him in the mix. If he does go to arbitration, and wins more money than the Mets want to spend, they're not obligated to pay it, are they? If I understand correctly, they can release him before spring training and not be on the hook at all, or perhaps for a small portion of the contract.

    Uncut and uninterrupted. It's the best channel on television.

    The Winning Team, starring Ronald Reagan as Grover Cleveland Alexander, and co-starring Doris Day, will be on Turner Classic Movies tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.

    This kind of seemed like a season in which Pete Falcone pitched every day.

    I haven't seen it yet. When is the Honus Wagner Ball? I need to rent a tux and find a date!

    For my own selfish Schaefer purposes, I hope Marc Rzepczynski never becomes a Met.

    I agree. I also think it's okay to gently mock him for this, but with affection, not derision.

    Bay is still sick, I guess. I wonder if he'd be more motivated to play if he knew he was in the running for his first ever Schaefer POTM award?
