    Ruben Tejada netted a total of 0.03 points which averaged down to a zero, so he does not appear in the results.

    6 and 7.

    Sounds fishy to me. I would think that in such a situation, the ump would send all non-playing players to the clubhouse, to be summoned if needed.

    I don't have that info handy, but I can give you games played at shortstop. (Remember, Jose was a secondbaseman for a little while.) 1. Bud Harrelson 1281 2. Jos� Reyes 951 3. Rey Ord��ez 907 4. Kevin Elster 524 5. Rafael Santana 478 6. Frank Taveras 372 7. Roy McMillan 335 8. Howard Johnson 263 9. Jos� Vizcaino 236 10. Ron Gardenhire 230 Jose is a little bit ahead of Rey Ordonez, but still significantly behind Bud Harrelson.

    Not much movement on the DOUBLES list since we last checked in a few weeks ago. (That's largely because Jose keeps insisting on taking that third base.) DOUBLES 1. David Wright 266 2. Ed Kranepool 225 3. Howard Johnson 214 4. Edgardo Alfonzo 212 5. Jos� Reyes 211 6. Carlos Beltran 199 7. Mike Piazza 193 8. Darryl Strawberry 187 9. Cleon Jones 182 10. Mookie Wilson 170 Also, tomorrow night, Jose Reyes is due to become the tenth Mets player to appear in 1,000 games. He won't pass anyone else this year, unless David Wright fails to come back as expected. If Jose plays every game the rest of the season, hell finish just a few games shy of Edgardo Alfonzo. But, if he comes back in 2012, he'll be poised (with a healthy season) to pass Fonzie, Darryl, Mookie, Hojo, and Cleon. GAMES 1. Ed Kranepool 1853 2. Bud Harrelson 1322 3. Jerry Grote 1235 4. Cleon Jones 1201 5. Howard Johnson 1154 6. Mookie Wilson 1116 7. Darryl Strawberry 1109 8. Edgardo Alfonzo 1086 9. David Wright 1043 10. Jos� Reyes 999

    I thought the first Cars movie was cute, but not up to Pixar's standards. (At least it was better than Wall-E). Of all the movies to make a sequel to, I'm surprised that they chose Cars. (I'd prefer to see more of A Bug's Life or The Incredibles.) Cars 2 will be the first Pixar movie that I don't intend to see. It's easier for me to skip it because my kids are older and not asking to see it. My only regret is that in skipping Cars 2, I miss the Toy Story short that accompanies it. I'll have to make sure to track it down somewhere, eventually.

    They're sitting their blue-eyed left fielder, I see.
  13. Benjamin Grimm
    Wow, you really are a devoted fan, to travel to central Texas (of all places) to see a ballgame.

I would rather see him improve the club for the next several years than take any sort of risk on this year's team at the expense of the future. This makes me think of 2004, and Kris Benson and Victor Zambrano.

    I see where seawolf is going. Bay is in fact tradeable, but you have to get another awful contract back in order to deal him. Conceivably, the Mets could do something with Bay like the Astros did with Derek Bell: they told the Mets, if you want Mike Hampton, you have to take Derek Bell. The difference is that the Mets don't have a Mike Hampton to trade, and Jason Bay has 2.5 years remaining on his contract, where Bell only had one. So to make something like that work, Sandy would have to be very very creative. I doubt it could happen, but Sandy may be able to come up with the magic combination.

    I'd rather not see them trade for rentals. Get someone who can potentially help in 2012 or 2013.

    Do we have a budget on how many cranes we can bet? I'll assume it's 100. I'll put 40 on Frankie, 40 on Beltran, 10 on Dickey and 10 on Capuano.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Me neither. Bay is certainly someone the Mets would like to trade, but I can't imagine they'd find any takers. I think Rodriguez is the most likely to go, with Beltran a close second. My hunch is that they don't trade Jose, hoping to sign him during the Piazza Period. Izzy, Dickey, and Cappy all seem pretty tradeable too. And Pelfrey is also a possibility.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Bay can leave as a mercenary. Or he can leave in a taxi. If he can't get a taxi, he can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, he can leave in a minute and a huff.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    I'll carry Ernie, and Yucarybert.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    Do it. I don't know who would replace Frankie as the closer, but I'm not too concerned about that.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    What the hell... I'll do it.
