  4. Putting "Tom" in quotes for T#m Gl@v!ne is appropriate because when it comes to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, there is, of course, only one real Tom.
  5. [fimg=600:1defy9lb]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130713115655/disney/images/5/5a/Rapunzelpainting.jpg[/fimg:1defy9lb] [fimg=480:1defy9lb]http://millerpolooza.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/bob-uecker-miller-lite-ad1.jpg[/fimg:1defy9lb]
  6. Granderson 2.0 Duda 0.5
  7. Nick Evans joining Zach Lutz on the Rakuten Golden Eagles out east...out Far East.
  8. On weekend Hall of Fame celebrates the last three managers whose managers eliminated the Mets from postseason play (meaning all five -- Williams, Lasorda, Cox, Torre, La Russa), its board of directors is taking a subtle shot at Ralph Kiner and Duke Snider. Well, that's a parochial way of looking at a new rule announced today wherein the BBWAA ballot eligibility period has been reduced from 15 to 10 years. Current 11-15 year guys (Mattingly, Trammell, Smith) stay on but everybody else can take a hike, lest they make the Hall late the way Ralph and the Duke did. Not so subtle message: Get off our ballot, steroid guys.
  9. Duda 3.0 Wheeler 2.5 Murphy 1.0 Wright 1.0 Mejia 1.0 Torres 1.0 Black 0.5
  10. Imagining Topps photog traveling day and night to this camp or that, only to be told when he asks for "Davis" -- the last man on his git-list -- "You mean Tommy? Oh, you just missed him. He was traded to..." And inevitably if the scene took place in Florida, Tommy was training in Arizona -- and vice-versa. "Ah screw it," the photographer thought. "I'll tell them he was sick that day and they should use that picture from Vero Beach again."
  11. Topps could not be bothered to take a new, non-Dodger picture of Tommy Davis for several years. But sweet locale for 1963 and its 1964 rerun (with the Polo Grounds in all its Leaders glory the latter year)! In between? Repetition became him.
  12. Duda 1.0 Flores 0.5 Murphy 0.5
  13. CYoung FOR CHRIS; EYoung FOR ERIC Box. Colon 4.5 Familia 1.5 Mejia 1.0 Murphy 1.0 Wright 1.0 EYoung 0.5 Lagares 0.5
  14. deGrom 4.0 Familia 1.5 Mejia 1.5 Duda 1.0 d'Arnaud 1.0 Abreu 0.5 Tejada 0.5
  15. Lost 2 of 3 in 2008, first Manuel homestand. Felix Hernandez grand-slammed Johan Santana. Some young firebrand named R.A. Dickey made Oliver Perez look bad enough to never think about re-signing. Plus one win whose storyline was David Wright benefiting from an unwanted day off.
  16. DOUBT YOU'RE GONNA NEED TO DELINEATE EYoung FROM CYoung, BUT STILL... Box. Wheeler 3.5 Murphy 1.5 Wright 1.5 Eveland 1.0 Famiia 1.0
  17. YOUNGS ARE VERY DIFFERENT, SO DISTINGUISH THEM WITH FIRST INITIALS. Box. d'Arnaud 3.0 Granderson 1.5 Lagares 1.0 Duda 1.0 Eveland 1.0 Familia 1.0 Mejia 1.0 Nieuwenhuis 0.5
  18. First one of these in a Colon's age: Curtis Granderson - RF Daniel Murphy - 2B David Wright - 3B Lucas Duda - 1B Travis d'Arnaud - C Kirk Nieuwenhuis - LF Juan Lagares - CF Ruben Tejada - SS Bartolo Colon - RHP
  19. 2011. 2002. 1999. Only three seasons in which the Mets have won the majority of their games in San Diego over the past quarter-century. They also did it in 1969, 1975, 1977 and 1985-1988. 10 out of 45. So maybe make a little history maybe this weekend?
  20. For consistency of prediction's sake, went with 33 SHaM wins to bring the total to 78, or what I went with in the preseason poll. I'd be happy if they won 34, representing a winning record for an entire "second half," but wanting to be happy and predicting I'll be happy are two entirely different things. Go 1-0 tonight and take it from there.
  21. Klapisch again? Behind pixelation looms the truth. Nike suggests the Mets are afraid to be seen paying proper homage to The Captain. The truth is Derek Jeter has been obscuring the other team in town for two decades. Long gone is the shadow the mighty Mets of the '80s cast. It was replaced by a state-of-the-art New Millennium icon who wears a "2" but established himself as the "1" prior to the turn of the century. If we can't quite make out who the Mets are anymore, it's not technology. It's Jeter. In the wake of his eternally glowing presence, all teams who aren't the Yankees but dare to play in his geographic proximity are destined to tip their caps silently and blurrily. The Captain's soft rain has left the Mets soaked in futility.
  22. Excellent kickoff to Nike's "your cap can double as a barf bag" campaign.
  23. At the break, some movement at hand: 1. Wright 46 T2. Davis 30 T2. Duda 30 4. Murphy 17 5. Pagan 15 6. Beltran 14 T7. Hairston 13 T7. Reyes 13 9. Bay 10 10. Francoeur 9 11. Nieuwenhuis 8 T12. Byrd 7 T12. Valdespin 7 T14. C. Young 6 T14. Granderson 6 T14. Buck 6 T14. Tatis 6 T18. Recker 5 T18. Turner 5 T18. Barajas 5 T18. Sheffield 5 T22. d�Arnaud 4 T22. Brown 4 One more homer at Citi Field pushes Lucas Duda into sole possession of second place. Kirk Nieuwenhuis one homer from taking a share of tenth place. Chris Young and/or Curtis Granderson theoretically threaten to crowd out Jason Bay and, at last, Jeff Francoeur, depending on what Nieuwy does. Other actives and semi-actives: Juan Lagares 2; Taylor Teagarden 1; Eric Campbell 1; Bobby Abreu 1; Eric Young 1; Omar Quintanilla 1; Jeremy Hefner 1.
