Its all still different lazy reporters talking or writing about Puma's article (with a mention of Bernie Madoff thrown in) in order to fill column inches or air time. They proudly say the same thing in different ways like they just created a new life form. Feh. If you can predict the future or what somebody is going to do, call your broker or get your ass to Las Vegas and make some real money. Let's see what happens. Later

Listerine (And Other Adventures in Old Mets Photos)

Great bookends around an overrated book. Later -

Sooner Kase, I was commenting on how these spats, generally between 41 and batmags, get in the way of the discussion. You were in the right, and I was supporting what you said. Sorry if you got hit in the cross fire or took it that I was attacking you. We are in violent agreement. Later

Take it to the Red Light Forum, guys. That's what its for. This is the baseball forum and this thread is for discussing Sandly Alderson's contract extension. This place isn't personal, its business. Later

What should Fred Wilpon get Mets fans for Christmas?
MFS62 replied to nymr83's topic in New York Mets Talk
Lefty Specialist wrote: Anna's desperate, so Fred can get her pretty cheap. That's the primary consideration these days. That's why she'd be my consolation prize. I voted "All of Them" because he owes it to us. Think big. If he says no, that's when the negotiations begin. Later -
Benjamin Grimm wrote: Mike Vaccaro of the Post continues the drumbeat. A simple solution for Wilpons if they hate owning Mets so much That isn't the first, and probably not the last, article like that. This entire thread is about how much money the Wilpons will or won't spend on the team. Fans suggesting they sell the the team is a logical request if they won't. Later

When Centerfield talks about center field, we have to listen. Nothing to add here. Later

I rooted for him to make the bigs and was happy when he did. Wish you well, Travis, but not when you play against the Mets. Later

Edgy, we get into this same discussion every time Martinez' name comes up. I would have voted for Frank Thomas, and I would vote for Big Papi. I said "in this case" and I mean it. He stopped playing a position after about his first 8 years in the majors (only about 25% of his at bats), and went on to play 10 more years with very sporadic position play. I just don't think Martinez earns my vote.(if I had one). As Dennis Miller used to say, "That's just my opinion and, I may be wrong." But from the numbers above, about 15 % of eligible voters share that opinion, as do some of the other CPF-ers. Later

Edgy MD wrote: If pitchers who never hit are eligible and are enshrined, why not hitters who never fielded (though Martinez actually played over 500 games on defense)? A pitcher's ability to hit is not part of the job description of "pitcher". Martinez isn't a pitcher, and he is not being voted on as a pitcher. But to me, "Player" involves the classic 5 tools; hit, hit with power, field, run, throw. And IMO to be a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, a player must do those things well enough to be worthy of the Hall, even if they don't do one of them (like run) particularly well. But he must DO them. When the rule was first announced, I thought it might have an effect on career statistics by keeping players around at the end of their careers who would otherwise have retired. I was right. Look at the numbers Paul Milotor put up after his final year as a player (at age 34). Those extra stats put him into HOF consideration by a wide margin. In the case of Martinez, those 500 games as a position player don't cut it for me. Later

I never trust anybody who calls himself "Buster". But in this case, I hope he's right. Later

He would have been one of the worst pitchers on the 1962 staff. Later

Heard Gonzalez was DFA today. Still signed for 2 yrs of lotsa bucks. If released, he can be signed by any team for any amount and Atlanta would have to eat the rest of his salary. I'll bet they're trying to make some sort of a deal where they at least something back for him (The other team would have to pick up the salary in that kind of deal.). With the kind of production he has put up consistently, you would have thought that he would have been on the cover of lots of baseball magazines. The problem is, he [crossout:3fn1a3eq]is one ugly m***er-f***er, even when he was young.[/crossout:3fn1a3eq] never had cover-boy looks. Later

Frank was the subject of my only winning CPF Song Parody Contest entry. With that reputation as an MFY killer, those of us who were around then liked him even before he became a Met. RIP, Frank. Later

Edgy, I agree with a plan that includes signing the best hitters Sandy can find, but not THOSE three for the reasons you cited. Let's get creative: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/sri-lanka-in-india/india-v-sri-lanka-2nd-odi-rohit-sharma-scores-third-odi-double-century/articleshow/62052111.cms The next Andre Rodgers, but better? And he can pitch, too. Later
