I've said this before, but when talking about Morgan's announcing, it is always fun to repeat it. Joe Morgan "wrote" a book called "Baseball for Dummies". (It was one of the "___ for Dummies" series.) When I saw the book, I thought it was his autobiography. Later

    Dom Smith might be playing for a roster spot. Later

    When you visit Columbia, be sure to eat at The Lizzard's Thicket. https://www.lizardsthicket.com/food-menus/https://www.lizardsthicket.com/food-menus/ Lunch is a meat and two sides (your choice) and there are always biscuits and cornbread on the table. Later

    Oswalt is really a starter. I wonder if this means Vargas is being moved to the bullpen? (shudder) Later

I bet he did, and was saving that one from the time he saw the name on their roster during his pre-series research. I know in my heart that he got the idea of pre-series study from reading our KTE* threads. Later * = WTF ever happened to those?

    Stunt double for the bartender pal of Deadpool. Or is he really that actor? I'm not sure, but he'll have plenty of time to work on his audition tapes in Syracuse. Later

    .275-22-78 in 130 games. Later

    The Anthony Young of hitters. Later

    Until I see Luc Rennie actually play in a baseball game, I will believe in the bottom of my heart that he is really a hockey player. Later

    My extreme dislike for Anthony Rendon continues. Fucker! Later

    I didn't know you can grow cotton at the beach. Of, wait! Its Colton. Never mind. No major league time this year for the Mets. Later

    It looks like the pitchers have made adjustments to him or found his weakness (a thrown baseball). I think he needs a three week mental health trip to AAA to readjust. When he gets back, he'll be ok, but not as good as last year. Later

    Two Petersons? One righty and one lefty? I just had a Bob Miller flashback. This one will first have to make it to the major league roster, then will probably have a better major league career, but it won't start this year. Later

    Speaking of opening day, the Minor League baseball messed with their site, making it much harder to find all an organization's teams (and their box scores) amid all the team logos and graphics. Yech. Later

    Memory is fuzzy, but I seem to recall that in a prior life (or on another CPF board) I might have adopted Mike Gibbons. Since he's the only other lefty, I guess you're referring to Blake Taylor as the other of the two top prospect left handers. He was a second round pick of the Pirates. How did he get to the Mets to continue his (so far) undistinguished career? Or is that the "why" part of the answer? Later

    I'd like to see him make the majors and pitch for the Mets. But if he doesn't, I want to see Mickey Jannis pitch for them when I see them play at Hartford this June. Other than him, there's really nobody else on that team who makes me want to see him. Later

    =Centerfield post_id=6435 time=1554410643 user_id=65] Did Lugo suck again? I have a feeling he's going to be seeing Dr. Andrews sometime soon.

    Rip this fucking place down and build a place where they can win. (And a place where they can score enough runs to be exciting would help, too.) Later

    You really have to be an pompous arsehole to rent a car from National. Later

    I don't get all concerned about the fact that he's going to be moved around a lot. Jim (Junior) Gilliam averaged almost 600 AB during his 14 year career. He played third, second, and all three outfield positions during those years and was a valuable contributor at each of those positions. And Jose Ramirez (Cleveland) is doing that these days. Jeff doesn't have the power of Ramirez, but ... .322 - 20 - 82, with more than a few top 5 MVP votes. Later

    =Centerfield post_id=5983 time=1554171824 user_id=65] Alonso is a monster. Davis not a good fielder. Diaz fought when he didn't have his control. Mickey remains an idiot.
