i didnt say you wanted the dollar, i said you'd get it, which is pretty lame when for most guys their favorite sports team is 90% of the reason for having cable at all (the other 10% is OTHER sports teams and ESPN News) edit- YAY I'M BOBBY V!!!

in alot of areas you dont have a choice (other than switching to satellite)

don't worry KC, i'm sure the "generous" people at Cablevision will refund you $1 per month for every month they don't carry the Mets. That $6 will, however, be small comfort to you come October when you have missed 6 months of Mets baseball.

kerri heilman and ericka padilla on the news tonight....i say keep padilla around for his wife... the picture we have of her doesnt do her justice

i tried linking Julio Franco to babe Ruth, but it told me that they were teammates when Franco was only 40.

]Tonight at bedtime we're going to review the National League teams and where they play. as it should be. ]The Mets couldn't bring him back for $2 million to split time at Catcher? Why the F not?? he apparently thought there was a much greater market for his services back when we had to offer him arbitration or say goodbye... he was mistaken.

as long as he didnt become a yankee or division rival i was rooting for him

only 6 games? interleague play is screwing the sport up. good signing for the padres, now i hope they are 20 games out july 31st and want to trade him to a contender for a guy like victor zambrano

agendas are fine as long as you aren't denying that you have one

see, Delgado i don't care about...there is no pre-existing injury that shut him down at the end of last year and which still lingers, he can participate if he wants, its an injured pitcher that i want to keep out of it

i'm pretty pissed that its an issue at all after he was allowed to pitch winterball, he shouldn't have done that if he wasnt 110%. the Mets (quite properly in my opinion) shut him down in september for his health, he shouldnt have pitched again until spring training.

]I just don't equate "getting more revved up" to increased injuries. my concern is that the "importance" of the games will cause guys to play when they should be taking it easy to rehab an existing injury

not only that, but players who are INJURED (read: pedro) might take the mount when in ST they'd just throw on the side and call it a day.

CLE ripped the red sox off big time. sucks that we traded cameron so soon

Pedro isn't the brightest of ballplayers (as evidenced by his pitching exhibition games in the WBC when he is still hurting)

Zvon wrote: As far as the HOF hat goes, I was kinda being facetious. He's gonna go as a Met. (Unless he goes somewhere, gets in the WS every year for the next 4 yrs and hits 2 homers in every game. Then Ill be furious.) the only thing that could REALLY keep him out as a Met is to return to the Dodgers and be productive for a couple of years or win a WS there.

]You mean, this guy? i like the Cosmo Kramer one better, i mean hey its Kramer!

WB definetaly had Nady's fiance talking to the camera though, so maybe newsday's is different?

Edgy DC wrote: The World Baseball Classic: finally the competition to find out which is the greatest baseball nation in the world, to be decided by the greatest players in the world... competing under duress. the way some of these guys are running away it makes playing for Castro seem like fun... ]Pitchers in the first round of games, scheduled from March 3-10, will be limited to 65 pitches. The amount rises to 80 pitches for the second round, set for March 12-16, and 95 for the semifinals on March 18 and the championship March 20. A 30-pitch outing must be followed by one day off, and a 50-pitch outing must be followed by four days off. No one will be allowed to pitch on three consecutive days. this should be called the "Sorry DR, you're going to have to pitch guys other than Pedro, rule." ]The WBC also stated its previously discussed rules on eligibility. A player can represent a country if he ... qualifies for citizenship... thats pretty broad... so theoretically if Israel fielded a team (not likely considering the israelis i know...they'd try to headbutt or kick the ball) Shawn Green would be eligible to play for them despite having never entered the country (Israeli law allows any jew to become a citizen) I'm sure that the laws of other countries could also create strange things like this, I'd prefer they narrowed it down to people who ARE citizens.

]Cliff Floyd plans to play out the final year of his four-year, $26 million contract rather than pursue an extension. Floyd indicated his agent may bring up the topic with the Mets before the season starts, but he doesn't expect any negotiations to occur until after the season. "I won't let it be disruptive to my teammates at all," Floyd said. "I believe that when you sign a contract, you play until the end, and then at the end of that you sign another one. If they choose to call you and say, 'You know what? We'll give you an extension,' you deal with that accordingly. Honestly, I've done good things, but you still have to establish yourself where you have a right to talk - 'You know what? I deserve this right now.' I haven't done that. I just want to play." http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/story/385665p-327268c.html I'd like to hear more things like this and less things like "trade me, trade me!... and while you're at it i demand an extension"

WB11 news was interviewing Mets wives tonight, apparent Xavier Nady has a fiance but i did not catch her name...

missing ANY regular season games is not acceptable at all...i like watching spring training but i wouldnt really be too pissed if we missed some of that while they hammered out a contract.

i don't know about other boards, but when copying for a journalistic source and citing the author/site you should definetaly NOT correct their spelling/grammar in my opinion, their article (or the part you are copying) should be presented as originally written.
