  2. In case you're wondering where's Travis, ESPN has the answer: Travis d'Arnaud will be examined by team doctors Friday when the Mets return to New York. The 25-year-old catcher is unavailable for Thursday's doubleheader in Washington, D.C. due to an unspecified injury. The Mets are only saying that d'Arnaud is "banged up." It's uncertain whether he'll be able to return to action over the final weekend of the regular season. Later
  3. Its raining. Who will be the reporter who says the Heavens are crying because its Jeter's last home game? On second thought, they all will. Never mind. Later
  4. Jeter made everyone around him better today - especially the Orioles. Later
  5. Frayed Knot wrote: Edgy MD wrote: He could be less of a smug tool No he can't. Even if he were to try real hard. It;s just not in him. That said, he's been on this topic of the over-the-top Jete-a-thon for a while now. This one was just more extensive than the others. To expand on a famous W.C. Fields quote, "anyone who hates kids, dogs, and Derek Jeter can't be all bad". Later
  6. Frayed Knot wrote: Thursday is Jeter last-day-ever-in-Yanqui-Stadium day (not sure if you've heard that?) so that might wind up as a nice 'Double-Header' so to speak. No such luck. The forecast calls for heavy rain on Thursday, so the agony may be prolonged. Later
  7. I'm wondering which broadcast team Jeter will be joining to cover the post season. Later
  8. My wife has a cousin who lives in Maryland. Her husband thinks a sport is a biological abnormality. But every time they speak, the husband always tells the cousin to remind us how well the Nats are doing. If for no other reason, I really want the Mets to knock them out of the #1 seed. Later
  9. deGrom makes that look good. As for the others, ... uh, deGrom makes that look good. Later
  10. I'll take "the somebody on the far left" for about six hours, Alex. Later

  13. Talking about Flores' defense, specifically range, here are the numbers for shortstops who have played more than 400 innings this year. He stacks up pretty well. Not as bad as many thought. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=ss&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=400&type=1&season=2014&month=0&season1=2014&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=25,d Later
  14. Centerfield wrote: Flipping around I saw a stat that he had been 0 for his last 23 (or something like that). But during that time, he has continued to make the players around him better. Later
  15. Just got home, checked out the box score. Who the fuck are those guys? And why isn't Kirk starting? A few days ago there was a WSJ article* that pointed out the great winning percentage in games he has started. Ever since then, he hasn't started. And recent reports have indicated that TC is coming back? Somebody please tell me what his skills are, because reading stats isn't apparently one of them Later * http://online.wsj.com/articles/take-a-number-nobody-wins-games-like-kirk-nieuwenhuis-1410398247
  16. In the post game interview last night, TC said that Black is going to be "looked at" today (meaning medically). He thinks the neck problems Vic had earlier in the year still linger, causing him to throw with an inconsistent arm slot. Later
  17. Now Chris Young steals home (as part of a double steal?). Four months ago, he couldn't tie his shoes. Now he's Ty Cobb. The YLDBs in my office are having a field day. I said "This proves the American League must be inferior". That shut them up for a while because they had to think. They're cute. Every Mets fan should own one. Later
  18. Mets win, MFYs lose two. Brings new meaning to "Triple Happiness". Later

Chris Young. We now send this thread back to the minus side. Later And, he hits a three run homer to win it. You can't make this shit up. Later

  21. F'n LaRoche. Can't they watch tapes of how other teams pitch to that guy? He doesn't hit every team like this, does he? Later

  23. Now that there's a new commissioner, he may not be as friendly to the Wilpons as the one who looked the other way at their Ponzi involvement and then gave them money to make up for their "losses". This harassment scandal and lawsuit could be the oiling of the slippery slope that Anti-Wilpon fans been waiting for. Later
  24. Give them time. They're still remembering a baseball team in Brooklyn. (S/M = 99) Later
  25. That said, I noted that there was no Mets article in the print edition, either. Later
