Yup, yup, yup and yup. So I'm not ripping off Mag's idea completely, I'm just going to put the names, and number of times hitting the 15 win plateau. R.A. Dickey 2012 (20) Johan Santana 2008 (16) Rick Reed 1998 (16) Mike Hampton 1999 (15) Mike Pelfrey 2010 (15)

On his way to being the 6th member of the Mets 20 wins in a single season club, R.A. Dickey became the 21st man to join the 15 wins in a Metly single season club. Who be the other 20? Same rules as batmag's 20 Homers quiz, one guess per post.

I want to have Topps go back and make retro cards from 1983-1987 in Padres uniforms for me. (Someone get me a Photoshop expert.) I want to say it may have been done for their Fan Favorites/Archives/Retired lines. IIRC there is a Met card of him somewhere in there, so there must be a Padre one of him as well.

He even admits that it says more about their history of developing lefties than it does about Niese. If you want to play that game, Josh Thole is no worse than the fourth-best catcher the Mets have ever produced. 4th? I'm hard pressed to get past Hundley on such a list off hand. Unless you want to use "dependable big league backup backstops" such as Alex Trevino, Duffy Dyer, Vance Wilson, Barry Lyons, Jason Phillips, etc as part of that criteria.

A Salute To The Mets 20 Win Club Hopefully a new edition to the Cy Young club to follow during the winter! Well, I'll probably do that article anyway, tailored around Metly finishes through the years.

A salute to the man who topped the All Time Mets Hit Parade, via his Topps cards!

Greg, I miss Amazin' Tuesdays... That is all... At Foley's in NYC for a Meetup.com Mets group...very small crowd.

Have you ever listened to those hosts on WEEI sports talk radio in Boston? I have. And I'd like to punch some of them in the mouth, too. There used to be one guy, who if you wanted to move the discussion to a non-Boston team, he'd hang up on you. Later The only time I listened to WEEI for an extended time was when David Cone was traded to Toronto. The host was speculating that the soon to be free agent could wind up as the player to be named later that was to be headed to New York.

Danny Heep?

Hmmm, it's Piazza bobblehead day, and the Mets are keeping the sans black snow-whites on. Perhaps too much backlash from bringing the Black out for Franco HOF night, and Alfonzo bobblehead day?

Actually, I outright suspect it. That rule about Professional baseball is no longer in affect for HOF ballot inclusion, it's just MLB.
