  1. I think they owe it to the fans in other cities who have bought advance tickets just to see him for them to keep him for one series in each opponent's ball park. After that, based on his numbers at the time, they will have to make a decision about cutting him. But I don't notice that any of the players at AA are pushing him out of that roster spot. Later
  2. Ronnie, take my advice. Go back to your college, Yale: https://www.ynhh.org/smilow.aspxhttps://www.ynhh.org/smilow.aspx I trusted them. You should, too. Later
  3. IIRC, my wife and I were at the game in which he hit his first major league homer. It just got over the fence in left and was in a blowout loss to the Tigers. Later
  4. =kcmets post_id=9200 time=1557085972 user_id=53] Vargas - hamstring tightness per Gary.
  5. =nymr83 post_id=9172 time=1557030926 user_id=54] =bmfc1] F U Angel Hernandez.
  6. Three, count 'em, three hits through eight innings. Yech. Later
  7. Dynamic disinterest. Down 2-1. Rosario triple drove in Ramos. The Kentucky Derby took less time than it took him to score. And, of course, it's Gio F'n Gonzales weaving his magic against the Mets. Later
  8. I'll resist the temptation to work something about deviant and Derek Jeter into one amazing insult* and just say, "couldn't happen to a nicer team". Later * = OK, so I couldn't resist.
  9. Newsday. We don't need no steenking horse race news. Later
  10. Another winner might have been during his rookie of the year season (for everyone but the voters *), Ron Hunt. But I couldn't find his monthly stats. And what about Mike Vail for the shoulda' woulda' category? Later * = https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1963.shtml#all_NL_ROY_votinghttps://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1963.shtml#all_NL_ROY_voting
  11. Edgy MD wrote: An excellent entry. Isn't really a collection of pop songs, but certainly a few are there among Queen's hard-rock underscoring. A more difficult call to make is whether it is truly an awful movie. Rather than being a bore, it certainly works despite itself as a goofy farce (the world is saved by a New York Jet, for God's sake), although it's hard to say whether it would even be embraceable as camp without Queen to move things along. Yes. A goofy farce. Well played and a lot of fun. Some memorable lines by the DiLaurentiis Jr.- directed film: 1) The Princess tugging at her pet monkey's leash saying, "Come on Fellini" and 2) "Oh no, not the borer worms" and 3) When asked if she and Flash want to stay on Mongo after they have saved Earth from destruction, Dale Arden replies that she's going back to Earth because,"Things are a little too quiet around here. I'm a New York kind of girl". And yes, Max von Sydow playing Ming the Merciless? I once asked him about that role, and he said that playing it "was delightful". Not just camp, but High Camp. Moving on to answer the question about a sound track better than the movie, I nominate Top Gun. Later
  12. Any cover that mentions two all-time greats as well as Bobby Grich and Milt Pappas gets my vote, especially against those other three. If the winning cover ends up having a picture of Gary Carter on it, wherever he is O'Henry will be smiling. Later
  13. No matter how you pronounce his name, I'm beginning to think he was a bad signing. Later
  14. What do Laurel and Hardy, and Wilson Ramos, have in common? A piano. The comedy duo famous for trying to carry one, and Ramos for running like he already is. Later
  15. Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: I do think BVW has been terrible so far. He gathered in an injured guy we don't necessarily need in Lowrie; his relief acquisitions other than Diaz have been terrible and/or hurt; Ramos is a fat slow singles-hitting double-play machine whose defense sucks; Cano is an anchor, only played okay and is hurt. Meantime we gave away a bunch of good prospects and the only guys performing for the team are those we had before he got here, others are getting worse. A brief, but accurate, assessment. Later
  16. I would have snapped twice in Chavez Ravine. Just to be sure. Later
  17. We are witnessing the return of the KTE in all its glory. Love it. Later
  18. He just moved up on the depth chart. Later

I posted the same story (2 posts above) from the Daily News, a much more reliable source than the NY Post. (SM=84) I saw the movie today. My own spoiler: (stop reading if you haven't seen it.) Incredible, unbelievable, the result of a severely damaged mind. Does anyone really put mayonnaise on a hot dog? The rest was totally believable. Later
  20. No spoilers, please. https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-news-avengers-endgame-spoilers-beat-up-taiwan-20190428-rzamfw7o35f6zblwzde7jfrsv4-story.htmlhttps://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-news-avengers-endgame-spoilers-beat-up-taiwan-20190428-rzamfw7o35f6zblwzde7jfrsv4-story.html Later
  21. Al-GONE-so! Later
  22. Good news - I'll be seeing it tomorrow at 9AM. Bad news - it is my grandson's 8th birthday "party", and I'll be there with about a dozen of his classmates and friends. I may be too shaken to vote for a while. Later
  23. They got no-hit 2-0. Three Portland pitchers combined to do it. https://www.milb.com/gameday/sea-dogs-vs-rumble-ponies/2019/04/25/571652#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=571652https://www.milb.com/gameday/sea-dogs-vs-rumble-ponies/2019/04/25/571652#game_state=final,lock_state=final,game_tab=box,game=571652 Later
  24. =batmagadanleadoff post_id=8229 time=1556216399 user_id=68] As far as I know, Ron Hunt never appeared on the cover of a national magazine as a Met.
