  1. Holy moly! Hard to make some people out, but you get the gist. Year? The Blue Tarp Lounge: https://thecranepool.net/images/bluetarplounge.png>
  2. I have to watch the video a little later. I'm in my own world sometimes with nicknames. Like, I'm not big on The Polar Bear. I do like The Edgemeister, which is not on your player page. Get me Sean Forman on the horn!
  3. I don't recall that. Baseball Reference lists TBL and The Dude as nicknames.

  5. Love the wallpaper.

  7. Technically, I win. But I just ate so Stevie can eat his chicken...
  8. Is it a Zvon card?
  9. One of my favorites from many moons ago now. I had read in the Sunday paper (remember those?) that the final piece of The Ol' Girl was going down that Monday so we took a ride out for a final farewell. https://thecranepool.net/images/SheaGoodbye.png>
  10. What does it have to do with Drew Gagnon?
  11. This card is seriously unpleasant to look at. I mean, does it come with a dose of something? [fimg=400]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52656837684_a5fb2d2c42_c.jpg[/fimg]
  12. And garden gown, for those so inclined to dress up to pull weeds.
  13. He did wear 47, checked it this cool site a guy has mbtn.net. Strange name, dinosaurish? (don't tell Carl Everett I said that) http://www.leaptoad.com/mets/profile.php?PlayerCode=1061http://www.leaptoad.com/mets/profile.php?PlayerCode=1061

  15. What fun Friday news!!
  16. =MFS62 post_id=117314 time=1674690457 user_id=60]Does the CPF have a Human Resources department?

  18. He's got a web-site! https://www.keithraad.com/https://www.keithraad.com/
  19. 1973 is/was the veritable nexus of my Mets OCD.
  20. This is why I stopped betting big cranebucks on the TCD several years ago.
  21. =roger_that post_id=117171 time=1674507147 user_id=128]Wow. That's one ugly bit of legacy.
  22. Edgy MD wrote: Davey Johnson, presumably the one who absorbed most of the lobbying, approved the trade. Asking your manager to be a scout probably wasn't the best move at the time, but Frank Cashen tended to run big league deals by Johnson regularly before pulling the switch. Johnson had had enough of Lenny and thought very highly of Samuel's offensive skill set. Well, if Davey was on board I'm not going to second guess him some 35 years later. Conundrum on, fellas...
  23. =batmagadanleadoff post_id=117144 time=1674496405 user_id=68]Samuel had 100 RBI's? Big deal. RBI's are for kids. As for Dykstra's struggles against LHP, that was certainly true early in his career. But by 1988, he was hitting lefties as effectively as he was hitting righties.
  24. =roger_that post_id=117139 time=1674493504 user_id=128]But the Mets didn't have to comply, did they?
  25. =roger_that post_id=117134 time=1674486736 user_id=128]Certainly, as bad a deal as it was, in that Dykstra had two monster seasons for the Phillies in the early 90s, his career did blow itself up in spectacular fashion, so if the Mets were hoping to avoid that inevitability, they did accomplish that.
