  1. horrible. you can't do that with nobody out.
  2. 4-6-3 inning over!
  3. ]Eric Bruntlett cleared waivers before being optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. Source: Rotoworldi'm suprised nobody claimed him
  4. this thread is just going to sink into oblivion, save the pictures for when he gets off the DL
  5. Didn't Gore make money in oil?
  6. based on the two one is likely a typo not a complete mistake
  7. I can't demonstrate the relationship either, but theres enough anecdotal evidence to make me (if i were Mets ownership/management) want to politely ask Mets players not to participate, even if i had to give them something extra for that purpose ("hey Carlos, you don't really want to go to the HR Derby do you? wouldn't you much rather spend the All-star Break in cancun with your wife and kids on my dime?")

If you complete a play, you've played. you've played once you take the field on defense whether the ball is hit to you or not. in fact you've "played" once your name is on the official lineup card, because you've been used at that point and cant be brought in later if you're replaced now
  9. i dont want to play the 20/20 hindsight game and blame willie for not resting him, but i'd certainly try to rest him a little more this year.
  10. especially when they list you alphabetically, then he'd be Becker, Dick ... edit, yes i'm going to make you go to umdb to see his middle name
  11. i suppose thats whats best for his long term value, especially if he thinks theres likely to be an injury to the 40 year olds glavine or hernandez or ineffectiveness on the part of rookie pelfrey and 6.50 ERA man perez.
  12. i was trying to forget all about him

He never signed a contract with the Mets. he was under contract with the Mets, a contract the Mets assumed when they traded for him.
  14. Edgy DC wrote: Notice how recent a vintage the Todd series is, with all first-name Todd's debuting since 1987. Todd Cruz 1978 Todd Fischer 1986 Todd Worrell 1985 its certainly a name that had little popularity, if any, before the late 50's. as a last name it has a long history, it was the maiden name of Lincoln's loony wife.
  15. i don't think they'd be whispered if they were in print. i've heard stuff like this before, mostly from mike and the mad dog, who yesterday afternoon had a major steinbrenner ass-kissing festival going on after talking about Swindell.
  16. it follows then that if you sign and don't play at all you don't count? (David Justice?)
  17. i'd be happy to sit him down somewhere in the system just for nostalgic reasons, if he spent a week of the season in NY and gave the TV stations an excuse to show his homer once or twice it would be worth it.

    You're cut

If he could re-establish his control etc in New Orleans then we've got a realistic option to be this years *ahem* Jeremi Gonzalezi'm glad that salary didn't = undeserved roster spot, i'm also really glad he's being kept in the organization.
  19. willpie wrote: or am I nuts for not just dropping him? Obviously, I missed the draft and ended up with an auto-draft team. Not a terrible team, all things considered, but I can't seem to make a decision about Clemens. Anyone? first let me respond to MM, i don't think you can DL clemens unless yahoo puts the DL icon next to his name which they havent and probably wont. that being said he is DEFINITALY worth a bench spot. IF he comes back he has the potential to be one of the top 10 pitchers in the game, you've gotta hold onto that until you're sure he won't be back.
  20. Tatis had a great year at age 24 in 1999, but his AB totals in the years since have been 324-145-381-175-56, what happened?
  21. the grammar is incorrect. "he would be go on" should read "he would go on"
  22. Jeter plays SS (even if most of us think he doesnt do it very well) Hafner is a DH.
  23. or because its a Mets board, so when you're happy that the Mets lost its not going to be well received.
  24. seriously, shrink that down and make it your avatar.
