I watch Yanqui games so you don't have to (MFYs 2015)
MFS62 replied to Frayed Knot's topic in New York Mets Talk
Nymr83 wrote: Did you guys know that Saint Jeter's -236 Defensive Runs Saved is the worst all time for any player in the entire history of baseball? just checking. I suspected, but didn't know that. I'm going to write that down, for use at the most appropriate moment when being harassed by the YLDB at work. It would have been higher, but he gave out gift baskets to the statisticians. Later -

And y'know, Jetes, when you opted for the guarantee of a 10-year contract you signed when you were 26, what age did you think you were going to be when it ended? Apparently he thought he was going to be an age when he was still the best option. He wasn't even the best option when he thought he was the best option. He had the best shortstop in baseball on his team. But Jeter made him played third base. Later -

Its is one of the things about which my Canadian baseball fan friends and I kid each other. I once stumped one of them by sending him an email that said, "OK, so you measure gas in liters, temperature in Celsius and home runs in metres. (That's the way he spells it) I saw the box score for last night's Blue Jays game. It said the attendance was 18,674. How many people is that in American numbers"? He gave up. Later

He was going to name Jeff "Damian", but that would have been too obvious. But if you want to hasten Fred's departure from this world, there is a number in Howard Beach you could call. Later

Buena Suerte, Cesar. I hope you sign with an AL team and spend the next 10 years beating the crap out of the MFYs. Later

Bad year for my adoptees. The Mrs. will be heartbroken. She loves all our kids. Later

"Strangers come and cut your heart out": Injuries in 2015
MFS62 replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
The fact that they're giving Parnell options (albeit not Good ones) means they can claim that they're not really strong-arming him to the DL. But the DL route virtually assures him to be back by Sept 1st (as long as the "injury" is healed by that point of course) where the demotion or cut options don't. Plus he accrues ML service time while out as opposed to not via the others (although it looks like he's already got his 6+ for FA over the winter). I can just hear the conversation now: Sandy: We're putting you on the disabled list. Parnell: Why? Sandy: Broken arm. Parnell: I don't have a broken arm. Sandy: It can be arranged. Fred still knows people in Brooklyn. Parnell: OK. I'll go on the DL. Later -
I agree. The third part of the solution: Don't (automatically? ritualistically?*) replace the reliever if he is pitching well. Save the arms of the other guys in the pen. Later * Fie on you, Tony LaRussa.

I was listening to the sports scores on radio. After news of the Mets, I thought I heard that Jason Bay had won the PGA Golf Tournament. I freaked out, until I later heard it was Jason Day. Later

With the load of secrecy off his shoulders, has he played better since his announcement? He's hitting .253, but is he considered a good enough prospect to be a major leaguer some day? Just asking. The article didn't provide answer. Later

Get out the rotisserie spit for that "good luck" parakeet. Later

Gwreck wrote: Don't forget the DWI. Many people (including major leaguers) have been cited for a DWI. In my mind, it is one of those unforgiveable offenses. But it takes a special kind of idiot for a 250 pound professional athlete to injure himself on a trampoline. And from the time he first came to the majors, we knew Joba was kind of special. Later -
There are two guys, Kirk Nieuwenhuis and David Wright, playing for St. Lucie tonight. You might want to keep your eye on them. They have major league potential. Later

Somebody put an armed guard around Ashie. His IGT mojo has to be protected. Later
