2016 Tabloid Cover Derby Round 1.1.1 Jan 6 through Jan 22
MFS62 replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
That's Terrific not only showed two great Hall Of Famers but it also happily reminded us that Bonds and Clemens didn't get there. How close to perfect can one back page get? Later -
An exciting ending to an exciting series. It will forever be a case study on how to overmanage a bullpen. Now, to all you long suffering Cubs fans: You can stop whining now. SHUT THE FUCK UP. Later

Not West but John Hirschbeck in what will be the final game of his career. Wherever he's going, he should take West and Angel Hernandez with him. OE: Looks like they've pierced Miller's cloak of invincibility. 5-1 Cubs. Later

Catcher: 30% with TDA, less with Plawecki First base: 25% with Duda Second base: Sandy was quoted last week (SNY?) as saying "JP Rivera is my second baseman". If so, 80% Third: Wright 20%, if Flores, 65-70% Short: 80% as others believe. If Reyes, the drop-off isn't much. Other middle infield reserves: 50-65% Left: Cespedes: 85%, if Conforto 75% Center: Juan? 70%, Granderson 50%(I feel he's due for a decline) Right: HOOTHEHECK knows? If Bruce, maybe 55%. Outfield reserves: 60% SP: somebody's gotta' come back strong: 85-90% MR: Sandy finds those guys: 75% RP: with Famiia - 90%, without him 80% and a cringe. Of course, everything is subject to change. Let's check back in March. Later

1-0 Cubs after one inning. Later

I guess an oxymoronic name like Jumbo Shrimp is appropriate in the state where "The farther you go North, the farther you go South". Later

Can't wait. Bring it on! Just malke sure Rusty doesn't fill the trophy with barbecue sauce. Later

Back to the game. 3-0 Cubs on a Bryantboom and Russell double in the top of the first. Later

They're trying to prove the old baseball saying that good pitching stops. good hitting. Later -

Yabbutttt, its the second time that tells the story. They didn't know him very well the first time, did they? But still, by comparison, Lackey has about 15 lifetime decisions against Cleveland. Not sure how many are recent. though. Later
-
Lackey has spent most of his career in the American League, so the Indians should be somewhat familiar with him. But many of their regulars are too young to have faced him many times. Mike Napoli might be the most familiar with him, since he may have caught him when they were in Boston. Kluber is probably an unknown to many of the Cubs hitters. This could be another low scoring game. Later

Do you think that Andrew Miller would have emerged as a multi-situational asset if Terry Collins had been his manager? Anyhow, with all the current talk about "the shift", the most different idea about positioning a fielder was suggested by announcer Tim McCarver. He said that the old baseball strategy of playing the third baseman close to the line to "protect against doubles down the line" was wrong. He said that if the third baseman played closer to the batter, it cut down the angles for hits both to the fielder's left (shortstop hole)and right (down the line). From a mathematical (actually, geometrical) standpoint he is correct. But it would take a third baseman with excellent reflexes and quickness (Not to mention a good dental plan) to make it work. I'm not sure whether any mamager ever tried it. Later

Good for him. A great honor. Later

The worst proposal was,"Lets name a portion of CitiField after a ballplayer who never played for the Mets". Oh, waitaminnit, they already acted on that proposal. Never mind. Later
