the thing sounds really cool, wish i could pop over for it. good luck to all yall. anyone ever hear of/see the Thurs night movie, "Mathematically Alive: A Story of Fandom"?? Sounds way interesting. There's a good dozen things on there not CPF-related that I would love to listen to. Plus, the elusive Ben Baumer makes an appearance. Neat thing happening. Good, heartfelt film, available on DVD. Trailer here.

Grant and Wilpon, rightly celebrated in the spirit of their ad, here.

Registration info and generally accurate program here. Hope whoever can make it to Hempstead April 26-28 will indeed make it. And after it's over, we can enjoy the finals to the song parody contest.

Cam to start 2012 as a Sand Gnat.

Life Goes On: Continuing Careers of Ex Mets - 2012

Izzy makes the Angels. Which sounds like a Disney working title. -
Rubin tweets: 2011 1st-round pick Brandon Nimmo in all likelihood staying behind for extended spring training. Not slated now for Savannah/full season. At his age, Adam explains, starting him below full-season level not uncommon (though he is a first-rounder; but what's the rush, I guess?).

Muy gracias (or very thank you). I was looking for something for the day after March 31 and before April 2.

Officially requesting permission to run Don/Fred and anything else created in this thread in this vein on FAFIF two days from today.

From Rubin: So the position players look like this: C: Josh Thole 1B: Ike Davis 2B: Daniel Murphy 3B: David Wright SS: Ruben Tejada LF: Jason Bay CF: Andres Torres* RF: Lucas Duda Bench: Mike Nickeas, Ronny Cedeno, Justin Turner, Scott Hairston, Mike Baxter * If Torres were to start on DL, Hairston starts in CF and Rottino makes team Pitchers: Johan Santana R.A. Dickey Jon Niese Mike Pelfrey Dillon Gee Frank Francisco Jon Rauch Ramon Ramirez Manny Acosta Bobby Parnell Miguel Batista Daniel Herrera* * Herrera is the lefty sub if Byrdak is not ready and misses the first four games of the season on the DL, where he presumably would join Pedro Beato and D.J. Carrasco. Likely five new faces for the team that finished 77-85 last year. (Six counting Johan attaining his comma.)

Pre-Opening Day buzz, locally produced, here.

I don't precisely recall if St. Pete was ditched on merit, save maybe for having to share with the Cardinals. I loved it over there, both as an attendee in my college days and just absorbing it via TV and the papers. St. Lucie was pitched as bigger, better, ready to grow, all ours...and now they need a new cohabitant.

From Mike Kerwick's notes column in the Record: Collins on R.A. Dickey�s new book: "I didn�t know there was a book. I can�t worry about books at the moment." Terry a little uptight as Opening Day nears? Or is he miffed that R.A. had this to say about Game 162 of 2011? On Terry Collins�s decision to pull Jose Reyes from the lineup after his first at-bat in his last game as a Met in an attempt to preserve his lead in the National League batting race: �The whole thing was very unfortunate, and to my mind, could�ve been handled better by everybody. At the very least, I would�ve loved to have seen Jose go out to short for the top of the second. � It would�ve been a more fitting departure for a player who truly leaves it all out on the field.� More excerpts here.

oh, this is going to make my day, thanks. Happy day after birthday!

9 AM tape delay on MLB Network...because the kind of people who would be salivating for this live shouldn't be superserved by a network presumably designed to superserve them.

Times wine critic slums to do beer as it applies to baseball, takes too long to get to the point, then slams Citi Field selection. In New York, the situation has been dire. The selection has never been good at Yankee Stadium, where you were lucky to find a Guinness Stout among the mass-market brands sold at absurd prices. It was scarcely better at Citi Field, where the big breweries buried an initial effort to sell local craft beers. Aren't there two sizable concessions, one beyond center, the other in the Promenade food court, devoted to selling all kinds of crafts and imports, including some local representation? WTF's with "scarcely"?

Really good one from Ted Berg. Rooting for a team means emotionally investing in something, and that brings with it the risk of some pain �- not lasting physical pain, but pain nonetheless. But when that pain comes like it has the last few years, what�s the sense in wallowing in it? Passage best read in context...so go read it in context.

Guys I/we hadn't realized were still jobless for 2012

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Matsui -- whom he thought would boost revenue I was in the Mets clubhouse store recently, the one on 42nd, and noticed a ceramic Kaz statue, three or so feet high, practically leaning against the front counter. It may have been serving to keep some bats upright. Springsteen wrote a song about a scene like that. -
It's a chilling incident yet all I keep seeing as he describes it is an eight-year-old body with R.A. Dickey's adult head, beard and all.

Happy 19th birthday to Brandon Nimmo.

Of all the various "junk" from all the various trunks I've seen displayed in various threads, that Diamond Club menu might have kicked as much ass as Kevin Mitchell in a Pier Six brawl.
