  1. Those two things are inextricably linked.

  3. Nice night at the park, and nice job stranding runners by Bartolo in his last-ever Mets start. Good weather, lots of Mets offense, Phillies lose, douchebag in Cliff Lee jersey kicked out by security - a fine night all around.
  4. Howard's contract: 14:$25M, 15:$25M, 16:$25M, 17:$23M club option ($10M buyout) So the answer is, yes, Ryan, I would gladly trade places. I will happily sit on the bench. I will strike out >30% of my at-bats. For that money, I would even put on a Phillies hat and associate with Chase Utley, things that I would not ordinarily ever consider doing of my own free will. Let me know whenever you're ready to trade, thanks.
  5. Got it. On that we agree. The real rule change needed is to the composition of the voting pool.
  6. batmagadanleadoff wrote: Off the top of my head, I'd guess that 10 deserving HOF'ers rarely, if even ever, retire after the same season. So the 10 votes per ballot rule is ample enough to prevent any logjams. I agree with the first part of this statement. The second part, I believe, is demonstrably untrue, given this past year's hall of fame ballot.
  7. Remember when Beltran had the entire team shave their heads in 2007? Bald Shawn Green was not a good thing.
  8. My god. An "illegal defense" or similar is an even dumber idea than the designated hitter, as hard as that might be to fathom.
  9. Mets Guy in Michigan wrote: Seems a little odd to be pulling Walker when he's only given up a run and two hits, but looks like he's closing in on 100 pitches. He also walked 6 and hit 2 batters.
  10. Colon outs so far: 6 fly balls 5 ground balls (2 to Tejada at shortstop) 4 strikeouts
  11. Mets Guy in Michigan wrote: Where did Tejada get hit? Gameday just says he was hit by the pitch, then said Campbell is pinch-running. Do we have a back-up shortstop? Tejada got hit in the forehead, per Josh on WOR. Campbell is the back-up shortstop. Wright can play there as well.
  12. Asshole in Piazza shirt interferes with a Young attempt to catch a pop-up. Yes, the ball was in the seats. But that's still idiotic
  13. I had Mike Cameron and Olerud. Steve Henderson was the tough one. Endy needs about 10 more games with Seattle .
  14. Good trivia question on SNY: Who are the only 3 players to play in 200 games each for the Mariners and the Mets?

  16. Not that we would ever think of such a thing but David now has no-trade rights.
  17. As per the SNY broadcast, Lagares is hitting .380 against lefties this year. So why is he hitting eighth tonight?
  18. Pitchers' fielding practice at 10:00 AM tomorrow
  19. We have two open bases. Any other runners don't matter. Why wouldn't we just walk Smith (the Padres' best hitter)?

  21. No PH for Duda here against the lefty.
  22. No worries, I sent your stuff. Had your address sitting around in my PM box from some past giveaway I think Unless you moved, in which case the person now living at your former address is in for a nice surprise.
  23. Fuck you Matheny. You can leave Stanton in as the potential tying run against Doolittle. Instead, you pinch hit Anthony Rizzo (a lefty) against Doolittle (also a lefty).
  24. Game 1 was won at home by the series winning team in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. 7 of the past 11.
