  1. Votes for Turner and Hairston averaged to zero, so they don't appear among the results.
  2. Beltran 2.5 Davis 1.8 Gee 1.2 Isringhausen 0.5 Reyes 2.2 Rodriguez 1 Thole 0.8
  3. Voting for all three games played in Philadelphia this past weekend will close on Wednesday morning. This will also close out the month of April, and we'll have our first Players of the Month awards for 2011. If you still need to vote for any of the Phillies games, please try to get your submissions in today. Schaefer POTG 4/29/11 Phillies 10, Mets 3 Schaefer POTG 4/21/11 04/30/2011 Philadelphia 2, Mets 1 Schaefer POTG 5/1/11 - Mets 2, Phillies 1 (14 Innings)
  4. I'm descended from a Brooklyn Dodger family, but if I could travel through time, I'd go to a game at the Polo Grounds before I'd go to Ebbets Field. That looks like such a nutty place to play baseball. I kind of wish the Wilpons had opted instead to rebuild the Polo Grounds.

  6. Voting for Thursday night's loss in Washington will close on Tuesday morning. If you haven't voted yet, please do so today. Schaefer POTG 4/28/11 - Nationals 4, Mets 3 On Wednesday, all three games played in Philadelphia over the weekend will close, and the April winners will be announced. The three winners are coming into focus, and it looks like I'll be debuting three all-new Topps Retrocards.
  7. Beato 1.9 Beltran 0.6 Buchholz 1.3 Paulino 1.9 Rodriguez 0.6 Wright 0.6 Young 3.1
  8. He got off easy. At least, so far.
  9. I gave warning on Friday morning.
  10. Ashie62 awarded 12 points, and his votes were prorated as follows: dickey 2.49 beato 0.42 rodriguez 0.42 murphy 2.5 bay 1.25 davis 1.25 harris 0.42 hu 0.83 nickeas 0.42
  11. Box score Beltran 1 Byrdak 0.33 Isringhausen 0.67 Murphy 1 Niese 3
  12. Let's pound Ginger Face!
  13. Davis 0.75 Pridie 0.75
  14. Mets haven't had many Vances. Other than Wilson, the only other guy I could find was Vance McHenry, who was with the Jackson Mets in 1983.
  15. There was a headline in the Daily News the other day about the Mets taking a new approach towards veterans. (Something like that.) I thought it meant they were giving up on Harris and/or Hairston, but it was instead about visiting the veterans at Walter Reed.
  16. They should have chosen Rick Waits instead. His name is a sentence.
  17. The Braves should see if they can hire Charlie Samuels.
  18. "Anti-gay" seems more appropriate than "homophobic" If McDowell had, upon seeing a gay couple, stood on a chair and yelled "Eek!" then I'd think he was homophobic. It seems, however, that he's merely a hater. It seems likely that some anti-gay feelings (I wouldn't venture to guess that it's most) come from repressed gay tendencies and self-loathing. Maybe that's where the phobic suffix comes from.
  19. Why is it when someone says something that's anti-gay, it's characterized as homophobic? Other prejudices aren't typically portrayed as coming from fear.
  20. Huh! PhillieBot can throw a baseball!
  21. I agree. He should spend more time on the AAA disabled list so that when it's time for him to be on the major league DL, he'll be ready.
  22. I haven't embraced the new stats at all. I would have loved them if they had come out about twenty years earlier. I don't question their value, I just haven't devoted myself to becoming familiar with them. I don't see the logic in adding OBP to SLG. I understand the motivation in combining them, but adding them doesn't make sense to me. When displaying "triple slash" stats, I know that batting average is first, but I'm unsure if Slugging comes before or after OBP.
  23. Voting for Wednesday night's come-from-behind win over the Nationals in DC is still a little light. Voting will close sometime over the weekend. Please try to get any remaining votes submitted today. Schaefer POTG 4/27/11 - Mets 6, Nationals 3
