Steve Rosenberg should also be on the list, he being the only Met to be on the DL for a full season and never getting into a game as a Met during his career. IIRC the year was 1991

Eh, the fact that I had a thought of doing the same exact thing on a website idea long since scrapped years ago I kind of like it. Though it would be just one page of course, and you wouldn't see various versions. Once a player was off, they'd be gone from the page, or at least just mentioned in text on the page. It is annoying though that I have to log in in order to read this thread though with all the html code in there.

soupcan wrote: -Is Pavano a genuine question mark for the Yankees or was he simply injured and now that he's 100% physically is he the same pitcher he was when they signed him? While nothing is a sure thing, every pitcher coming off an injury is a large question mark I realize that this is a valid point but it has always been intriguing to me. Think about it - a big healthy kid in his mid 20's is at the top of his game. He hurts himself, has surgery, heals, rehabs. Then he comes back ostensibly at 100% physically. Why then is he not the same performer he was previously? His body is 100% recovered. He's young and healthy. Did he forget how to do what he used to do? Of course not, he'd been doing it most of his life. It's been a season, maybe two since he last was as healthy. So why then are a lot of these guys just not able to do what they used to? Sure some can and do but why not all? Baffles me. Also, many MFY fans probably feel that Pavano just simply wasn't worth the money to begin with. Except for one season what has he really done? A .500 pitcher for most of his career. Add that to the way he pitched in NY in 2005, the general opinion by Yankee fans and the media is that this guy is a retread of Jeff Weaver. Or in Met terms, Kris Benson.

Cobb and Robinson played as if they hated the opposition (both probably did) Reyes does not, Henderson did not. I'm just talking about the way they played the game in general terms, nothing to do with specifics about the way they played, ie Henderson's hotdogging and Cobb's intent to injure an infielder.

="Vic Sage"]Wright could end up the best player in Mets history, before he's done. He seems to work hard and take the game seriously, but has fun with life. He doesn't want to offend or say no, there are no photos of him drunk with a hooker, nor has he been seen with a needle of HGH hanging out of his veins. Yet there are 3 pages here of nastiness. what the hell is the matter with you people? He's SOULLESS? Why, because the Mets and his management team are promoting the hell out of him, and using him to promote the Mets? so fucking what? geez. Maybe if he'd had a better finish last season, i wouldn't have to be exposed to this bullshit. Lets use Player A for a comparision Vic: Best player in his team's history? Nope, not even close, though on many, including the Mets, he would be. Probably will end up in the Top 10 though when all is said and done, heck he probably actually is in the top ten now. Works hard, check. Takes the game seriously, check. Has fun with life, definite check. Doesn't want to offend or say no, generally, not as bad as Wright is but he is everywhere and does speak in the same Jordan/Woods modern athlete way of saying nothing but making it seem like something. There are no photos of him drunk with a hooker (then again you never know with the types he has dated through the years) and there has been no suspicion of him juicing. Yet I'm describing one of the most hated individuals in sports today, someone who if he read the blogs and message boards of his team's most bitter rivals (and even those who aren't so bitter) he will find countless of slanderous statements, questions about his sexuality, venomous accuastions about his actions both on and off the field and worse of all people saying he is nothing but an overated bum. You know, I could also be talking about David Wright as well, but this is the fellow I am referring to: So if any Met fan thinks hating on David Wright is okay, just imagine the crap you give Derek Jeter, cause thats exactly the same stuff you are dishing out. BTW, yes that image is from the ONLY reason why he should be Derek Bleeping Jeter in Flushing, well that and other things he has done to the Mets during his career. If it's not the fact that he does that sort of thing in the big spot against your team, is there any reason to hate on him? To question his manhood? To consider him a souless piece of crap? Sure he comes off as a selfish prick, sure he hasn't won a damn thing since Tino, Paulie and Brosius left following the 2001 World Series, but is he any better on or off the field than David Wright?

Hell Bill Metsiac even? Who knows Ira hasn't busted out any photoshopped images yet so I might rule out any MOFOer trying to stir up crap though.

Nymr83 wrote: so then you're saying Reyes is a slacker like Henderson? someone who goes into a homerun trot on a ball that ain't over the wall?No, like the Cobb/Robinson, I'm more talking about the general sense, not specific. Rickey looked like he enjoyed playing, so does Reyes. Robinson, like Cobb, was deadly serious on the field.

And thats your ballgame. Damn. I want to say "ah well it's only ST" but still, a little more pride would have been nice, even if the game was torpedoed by a guy who will be in New Orleans in April.

8 runs down, 2 outs, runners on corner Step on it!

Slap on those rally caps! (Thats a Zvon creation BTW)

Milledge with a real bad HBP on the hand, out of the game.

Okay Offense, UNITE AND ASSEMBLE

Well looks like the more prominent Bullpen guys are doing better than the flossum and jetssum that will not be going north like Sosa and Adkins. Spoiled a good Pelfrey outing.

It could be "Oh, hell, it's a ST blowout, let's just GTF outta here already..." but you don't like to see people playing give-up baseball anywhere. Jackie Robinson would never do that, Rickey Henderson would! =

Now, THATS more like it! 3 batters faced, three outs (including a DP)

Aaron Heilman is in now

Nymr83 wrote: Cobb?? you want to put COBB'S demeanor with Robinson's instead of with Rickey's??Well, not in terms of off the field opinions of their fellow human beings and life in general, and certaintly Jackie Robinson would never go to the level Ty Cobb did when it came to spiking and such, but the mean "I'm just out here to do whatever the hell I can to beat you" attitude, fire and detirmination was very much the same.

I know it's still ST, but my word, it's not like Fernando Nieve is Johan Santana or anything, but it seems that way since he took over for Wandy Rodriguez

11-3 now heading to the bottom of the 7th. Ehem, Met Offense, UNITE AND ASSEMBLE! (insert Zvon's Teen Aqua Swim Martians with Met logos on them)

Brandon Nall, wearing #89 with no name plate is in. A tall, lanky sidewinding righty.

And the hits keep on coming, passed ball, run scores Another run scoring base hit, by the freaking pitcher this time, and Willie is out to bring in a new pitcher just to get one out!

2 run single by Eric Munson that bloops in.

Jorge Sosa walks in a run, looks like it's Sosa's jam to get out of as no one is warming up
