Jeez, I would have done horribly at this quiz. Stuff like this serves as a reminder of how narrow my baseball focus has been since the 1994 strike.

I'm surprised to learn that the song is about having sex on a train. (Or, more accurately, about preparing to have sex on a train.)

Associated Press wrote: BUFFALO, N.Y. � Tim Teufel is working his way up the New York Mets organization after being hired to manage the Buffalo Bisons, their Triple-A affiliate. Teufel has seven years experience managing in the minors, and had a 66-76 record in his first season at Double-A Binghamton last year. He takes over for Ken Oberkfell, who was promoted this offseason to be part of Terry Collins staff in New York. Teufel was a member of the 1986 World Series-champion Mets. He has a 403-480 record in the minors, and broke into coaching in 2003 by managing Brooklyn of the New York-Penn League. The Bisons also announced Friday that Ricky Bones will return as their pitching coach. Mike Easler has been hired as hitting coach.

Yeah, remember how upset Valadius was about the deal because of Mulvey?

Delois Guerra, Phil Humber, Carlos Gomez, and Kevin Mulvey!

Turn turn turn...

Well, yeah, they're definitely quantity. Hopefully enough of them will provide the quality needed for the team to be competitive. I'm both hopeful and doubtful. Byrdak, I think, is the first new player this offseason to come along too late for him to take his alphabetical place in the Expectations of Eleven series.

In a so-called "do nothing" off-season, the Mets are adding a lot of players. There might be a near-record number* of first-time Mets on the Opening Day roster. *Excluding 1962, of course.

Expectations of Eleven: Luis Hern�ndez

Full season at Buffalo... won't play for the Mets until after September 1. -

By "our" do you mean us, here in the forum, or Sandy and his boys?

I have this nagging feeling that the Phillies will sweep in and sign Reyes, and the Mets, facing a void at the position will sign Rollins. I don't want that to happen!

Some of that is more easily done than others. (Centering text is actually much tougher than you'd guess.) I can do the season totals stuff (win-loss, homers, etc.) for Mets players but not for opponents. The one thing I still want to do before I go live is have the ink color change when there's a pinch runner. I can do that, I just haven't yet found the time. There are other flaws that I know of. Sometimes a player gets a play of 5-0-0-0-0 on the basepaths. I haven't figured that one out yet. But I'm not going to wait until it's perfect before I reveal it to the world. I don't think I'll live long enough to iron out all the quirks.
-
Actually, if that was first base, then the outfield bricks would be closer to home plate, which is clearly wrong. So that must be third base. (Which would explain why the runs were already on the scoreboard.) But knowing that it's third base, it looks like Gooden had thoughts of going for four.
-
I've noticed that too, they're amazingly similar. The only real difference is that the Nationals' W has its tail tucked in.
-
So it looks like that was a bases-loaded triple for Doc in the third inning. Looks like that photo is of him rounding first (correct?) but if so, the scoreboard has already tallied all three runs.
-
That feature's not "live" yet.

Walgreens?

I'm way too unobservant to even attempt this!

A caption for that photo might be: "Hey, how about you tilt the camera and I'll pretend that I'm falling backwards!"
