    Thanks for the explanation. I had thought it was because he was being moved to different positions on a day-to-day basis after being just (mainly) a second baseman for years. Ballplayers like a routine (warmup, pregame meal, etc.). Some people handle change better than others. Who doesn't like McSquirrel? Hope he is fully recovered by the start of next season. Later

    Plus, I don't forget that incident as an MFY coach against the Mets. From that moment on, he lost his Metliness to me. Later

    After reading that, I had to go double up on my heart medication. Pay the man. I like CF's comps. I'd like a 4 year, with a 5th year mutual option. Later

    I saw that, too. But since I haven't gambled on sports since super Bowl III, those new kinds of bets boggle my mind. Later

    The one thing about this that gets me is the prop bets such as "the first pitch will be a strike". Sometimes it seems that a pitcher can't always throw a strike when they want to. How can someone place money on a pitcher being able to do such a thing? It would seem better to place money on the first pitch being a ball(which is easier to throw). 'Tis a puzzlement. Later

    One of the funniest lines I've heard in a movie is "They can compound that right out". I liked it. Later

    To New Yorkers, the name Genevese brings back another memory. A woman named Kitty Genovese was brutally murdered on a street in Forrest Hills and several people heard it happening ,but nobody called the police. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kitty_Genovese Not sure if I'll see Alto Knights, but thanks for the heads-up.

    Stuck Clutch may not win the cover contest, but IMO it is the story of the entire season. It was a major topic in several CPF discussions this year. Later

    Since we're talking about financial matters: https://metsmerizedonline.com/mets-post-record-308-million-total-revenue-in-2025/ The article doesn't specify the $247M tax payroll salaries mentioned above. But I noticed it does also not include any tv revenue. From those numbers, I can't figure out how much money they might have available for salaries, should they maintain those levels. Are tv revenue and salaries a wash, or are they being carried on the books of a separate corporation? The numbers don't seem to jibe. Anyone here able to help? Later

    Thank you for trying to bring some sunshine to my sorrow. Later

    Gotta' love the hair in that Pete's Place Again photo. Later

    He's listed as 5'6" (close to Freddy Patek size). A lot of Napoleon-complex energy would have to kick in for him to make it. Later

    Now a free agent. Good luck, kid. Later

    Leapin' for Leiper - the new 3B coach: From https://www.amazinavenue.com/ Tim Leiper will be their third base coach, replacing Mike Sarbaugh. Leiper'smost recent coaching job came as the San Diego Padres’ third base coach last season. The California native’s baseball career began as a longtime minor leaguer, playing in 1,166 games across 12 seasons (including two stints with the Mets), from 1985-1996. He only played six games for the (then) Binghamton Mets in 1996, but transitioned into a coaching role that season, beginning his post-playing career. He coached in various roles in the minor leagues until 2000, where he became a minor league manager in the Montreal Expos organization. Later

    You're right. As I may have posted before, in Jim Brosnan's book, "The Long season". the pitching coach told him, "Throw as hard as you can for as long as you can". He added "Just thinking about that makes my arm tired". And that was written in the late 1950s, Later

    The Mets have claimed Ji Hwan Bae off waivers from the Pirates, per MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. Bae, who played the outfield last year in Pittsburgh's system, has a career .586 OPS in 163 MLB games and logged an .805 OPS last season in 67 Triple-A games. There was no mention of whether he will be on a major or minor league contract. Later

    My kid has been named to the Arizona League All Star game representing the Scottsdale Scorpions. He's batting .264/.333/.556 with five homers in 60 plate appearances and has swiped seven bases without getting caught. He served as the Scorpions’ designated hitter on Wednesday, though he’s also caught six games and played four games in left field and two at first base. Suero was ranked as the Mets’ No. 14 prospect in MMO’s Top-50 Prospect list in August. My guess is he could double on tenor sax or drums if asked. Later

    I voted 4 but could have been convinced to make it a 3.5. He has money and spent it. But when he went after names to make a splash, as FK noted, I'm not sure he spent his money as wisely as he might have. And the mascot races are too much small town carny instead of major league class for my taste. But the plusses are he put the fannies back in the seats, and the team was winning again. Later

    Thank you for that fun read. Later

    AJ Minter opted in for 2026. Later

    Sorry if this is getting out of hand. I really did mean ""that it was too bad it wasn't arm related because I would have been more confident that he is fully cured." If that is not what my words conveyed, that is on me. I shouldn't have said it as "I know this sounds cruel, but too bad." And now I know it. Later

    That is exactly what I meant. I say what I mean, with no ulterior motives. We apparently look at things differently. Our minds operate on a different wave length, which is why you keep having to ask me to explain what I mean. And you've been doing that since I joined the CPF. You're still the editor. It will never change. Later
  25. MFS62
    I explained what I meant in a post above. If you still can't understand, I don't know how to say it any other way. Later
