  1. did the mets offer glavine arbitration?
  2. does one take ballpark into effect while the other doesnt? torrealba played in the best hitter's park in the league while shea is a pitcher's park
  3. Jeter pretending to live in Florida while owning New York apartment! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,311830,00.html
  4. why can't cancer patients be given nice hats? i'd rather go cueball than wear that thing.
  5. Aubrey Huff is my new favorite player.
  6. ]"All I can say is Omar (general manager Omar Minaya) and the Mets have done a tremendous job," Roman told the Daily News. Roman added that "they really gave my client more than he thought he'd get, more than any other team offered, it'll be a real privilege to take their money and hit .240 with 2 or 3 homers." (it doesnt take me long to find a new player to dislike, does it?)
  7. i've been to Baltimore exactly once and that was for a very religious wedding, presumably far from anything "skeevy".
  8. JD, did you "accidentally" find a strip club and make your way inside?
  9. my fault. yeah its fine if the crowd sings it, but the comment about shlubs who dont know it still stands. i kow you don't get that too often at Shea but i used to see it all the time at minor league games.
  10. information about Fukudome and 5 other japanese free agents http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/articles/2007/11/14/six_japanese_free_agents_to_watch/
  11. he is just not good, i dont know why he'd get 4 years or even 3. is there another team offering him 5 million a year?
  12. no way, if you dont have autism (or something else like that) and you forget the words or fuck up you should get boooooooooed.
  13. ]One executive from a rival suitor speculated the Mets' offer could cover 2011 and possibly have some provision for 2012. WHAT???? fire minaya if thats true.
  14. Lundy wrote: Living presidents is what I was going for. There hasn't been a Rudolph, Hillary, Mitt or Barack on the Mets, so it could be tough to do that one come 2009... vote for Huckabee. Chuck Norris supports him.
  15. metirish wrote: I did get a Mets fan from that board wanting to join here. bonus points.
  16. can we have piazza back?
  17. Unless he is great defensively Torrealba is a downgrade from either LoDuca or Castro.
  18. ]Israel is talking baseball now i ordered an israel baseball leaguehat 2 months ago and it still hasnt showed up, thanks for reminding me! nasty email time...
  19. the voters made the right choice.
  20. Milledge is a clear #1 for me and I think Gomez is nothing, the next Jason Tyner. I'm higher on Pelfrey than Humber personally but I can't think of a deal where i'd give up humber but say no if it was pelfrey instead so the difference is extremely small.
  21. ]If Arizona made Orlando Hudson available If the Phillies made Chase Utley available, I bet we'd be in on that too. this kind of "reporting" is annoying, there isn't the slightest indication he's actually available is there?
  22. Posada re-ups with the Yankees Correct: Edgy DC John Cougar Lunchbucket Benjamin Grimm smg58 sharpie DocTee metsmarathon metsguyinmichigan attgig Incorrect: Nymr83 (had him going to the Mets) i'll try to keep track of this like i did last year. get your picks in by nov 13th. if anybody signs before the 13th, then we strike their name from the list. i'm covered though as nobody gets any points for this one. i figured if the yankees let him get past today he was a good shot to go elsewhere and if they didnt it wouldnt cost me anything
  23. ]15-20 HR's, 30-40 2B's, .280-.290 AVG., .380-.400 OBP., Lefty Bat, Good Speed, Defense and an Arm in RF. . .that is (hopefully) the upside. thats basically the same thing we heard about Matsui before we overpaid for him and moved our brightest young position player to another position for him. Lets not bench or trade Milledge on the speculation about another Japanese import.
  24. Neyer says Tulowitzki deserved it. http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3106779&name=Neyer_Rob&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fespn%2fblog%2findex%3fentryID%3d3106779%26name%3dNeyer_Rob ]The Win Shares method considers defensive value. Tulowitzki finished with 25 Win Shares; Braun finished with 22. Baseball Prospecutus's Wins Above Replacement Player (WARP) also considers defense. Tulowitzki finished with 8.5 WARP; Braun with 3.9. The massive difference in WARP is, of course, because of the massive (measured) difference in defensive value. WARP credits Tulowitzki with 49 Fielding Runs Above Replacement, while Braun is debited with minus-15 FRAR. That's essentially a six- or seven-win difference (10 runs = 1 win), which simply isn't balanced by Braun's superior hitting
  25. i got andruw jones right and it is not reflected in the chart.
