IGT 4/17/06 - Pedro pitching against the Bravos

KABOOM -
="Frayed Knot"]"you can rip out ALL the seats and put new ones in facing wherever you want for a relative pittance (relative to the cost of a new park that is.)" And then all you'll have to deal with is the rows of seats in the back of the Loge section where there are restricted "letter-box" type views, and the rows in the back of the Mezzanine section where there are restricted "letter-box" type views, and the vast sections of the Upper Deck where the seats are in a different zip code. if you're going to take out 10,000 seats in a new park anyway you can eliminate the back 3 rows of loge and mezzanine all together and not lose nearly as many seats.

He can sure field though and i don't mind having a "Rey Ordonez" at league minimum salary. Give him another month, then lets see Keppinger. -
]and i wonder if that is more a matter of perception, or misperception, that players who comes through the farm system of a given team are more likely, or signficantly more likely, to re-sign with the team than a player brought in from another team, even if that player spends a year or more with us. I don't want to make generalizations about players in general, but when it comes to David Wright who grew up a Mets fan and is universally loved by the fans (who chant M-V-P for him in April, had to stick this in somewhere haha,) I think it is reasonable to assume that he will play his career here unless the Mets say otherwise (ie with insulting below-market value offers or by trading him.)

this is worse than "who let the dogs out" was back in 2000.

This is the 2nd time you've printed these numbers. Where do you get the idea that $175K is sufficient to fix the outfield boxes (as if that's the only problem w/the current seats)? obviously he's guessing, but i'll do him one better: you can rip out ALL the seats and put new ones in facing wherever you want for a relative pittance (relative to the cost of a new park that is.)

I don't remember who it was, Jim Palmer maybe, who said that you used to be able to pinch the ball and the surface would come up. I don't know who originally said it but that was one of the points Seaver made on the air as well. regardless of what you think of steroids there are juiced balls, "juiced" bats (newer, lighter woods than were being used 30 years ago), and smaller ballparks to contend with.

theres nothing wrong with gauranteed contracts and i'd hate to see everyone swinging for the nearest fence thinking "if i dont homer they'll cut me." Also you'd be giving cheapskate owners a nice new way out of any salary the arbitration process assigns that they don't like. Theres nothing (major) wrong with baseball, but if i had to do one thing to it i'd intitute a salary FLOOR, because kets face it, absent one of two really bad markets (the two in florida) all the owners could probably spend 50 mil on payroll without a problem, they're just too cheap to do it.

]The only thing the Mets have proved is they have deeper pockets than the Braves: $101,084,963 in payroll to $90,156,876 for Atlanta. oh please, that hardly qualifies as much of a disparity at all, what are they? 4th and 6th in payrolls? give me a break...

Seo's line tonight: 6.0 innings, 6 hits, 2 earned runs, 1 walk, 3 k's, 0 homers. 85 pitches, 54 for strikes. he has a 6.43 ERA as of this writing.

I may launch a tirade against the Mets that dwarfs this rant if they ever put Julio into a big spot (barring his turning a corner FIRST.)
-
]Attendance is up. Is that ALL you have to prove that MLB is healthy? MLB has been dying a slow and painfull death since the day Donald Fehr took over the players union. It doesn't matter how many fannies are in the seats because the important stats are in the eyeballs and the CA-CHING of merchandice sold, and those are falling way behind. Show us these numbers, unless of course this is pure speculation on your part (which i'm sure it is.)

]Baseball is all but D-E-A-D DEAD and a complete non-issue in Philly, KC, Toronto, Miami, Colorado, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Detroit, San Francisco, Oakland, Houston, Arlington, Milwaukee, Tampa, San Diego, Washington DC, Seattle, Cincinnatti, Atlanta, Los Angeles ect. Basically EVERY FUCKING MARKET IN THIS COUNTRY EXCEPT New York, Boston, Chicago, and St. Louis. The attendance figures for the last decade disprove these bullshit allegations of yours, back it up or shut it up. ] Baseball is a regional sport in fact its a ONE FUCKING REGION SPORT, the Northeast corridor known as New York-Boston, and the sooner people running that realize it and make the approriate changes I guaran FUCKING tee that MLB will be behind the MLS (and not because of the soccer surge thats been promised since the 1960's) and the WNBA within 5 years. Any amount of money you want says that this isn't true. Put your money where your mouth is, we can put it in trust with a board member.

"M-E-T-S" was one thing but all these other letters deserve a suspension, or at least deletion, this is spam and nothing else.
-
I was there today for my 3rd game of the young season. Bannister was the shakiest I've ever seen a winning pitcher be, but he got his job done. The Beatles were back at Shea today... well, sort of... reliever Chad Bradford entered the game, approriately enough, to "Yellow Submarine." The crowd was singing along and laughing

earth to mlbbaseballtalk: attendance is up league-wide.
