  1. Apparently, they din't apply those same "Required Skills" to their current on-air personalities. Later
  2. This is amazing when you consider that before free agency, guys were locked up by their signing team for their career, or until that team traded them. Noting the Longoria deal mentioned above, how soon should a team realistically wait to make that kind of commitment? Later
  3. Or Benvolio? Who is the better cartoonist? Later

Frayed Knot wrote: I still think there's a feeling that his secondary pitches need some fine-turning that'll come with the sort of repetition that he can use from a half season at AA or AAA Some used to talk about his curve being too inconsistent but more recently, and even in Syndergaard's own words in a recent Q&A I read, it's the change-up that needs some work. Is Las Vegas really the place to develop a curve ball (Thin, dry air)? I'm not sure. Later
  5. No matter how many pain-in-the-ass hitters they have had in recent years, their teams have always been based on good pitching. Locking up their good young pitchers on multi-year contracts is a good move. Later
  6. Flowers that bloom in the Spring, tra la. Later
  7. Centerfield wrote: I'm wiling to meet them halfway. If Jeter dies this year, I'm ok to reduce the waiting period to 3 years. Depends when during the year. But, as they used to say in my old neighborhood, it can be arranged. Later
  8. Speaking of special circumstances. Did Clemente have to wait five years? If not - there IS another way. Later
  9. Mets over. By how much? I'll wait for the annual CPF official prediction thread. Later

  11. Kong76 wrote: I've gotten like five emails about this, I guess they think the internet nearly exploding yesterday wasn't enough to get the word out or something. You know that many MFY fans? And you allow them to know your email addy? Later

She thought it was excellent, but there was a part that was kind of scary for him, so she rated it 4 1/2 stars How young? (Ours is not quite 4, and is GENERALLY good at handling dramatic/scary moments in kids' movies, but...) Almost 3. And he doesn't get scared by much. He likes dinosaurs. Later

    Valverde

    Calls Washington Heights home and sure seems to have skinny arms for a beefy reliever: Hey! We're homeys. (Well, I grew up there) Gotta' root for him to make it. Later
  15. I'd love the see the expression on the faces of Yankee fans if they find out that one of the gifts he gets will be a basket containing an autographed picture from Michael Sam. Later
  16. Benjamin Grimm wrote: I think the "Doctors Calls" is a courtesy to the doctors themselves. In those days before cellphones and beepers, this would allow doctors to be reachable in case of an emergency to one of their patients. I don't think it was intended for the doctors to be on call to treat other fans. Just like Police Captians had to sign out of the precinct and let them know where they would be. Michael Corleone liked that policy. Later

  18. Edgy MD wrote: If true, Megdal left holding the bag again. That would be even better news. But I'll take the news that Howie and Josh will be back. Later
  19. MMYF saw it with our young grandson. She thought it was excellent, but there was a part that was kind of scary for him, so she rated it 4 1/2 stars. Later
  20. I like Vic's analysis. Later
  21. HahnSolo wrote: I think I remember who it happened against, the team that did it, and one of the batters, but for the life of me I don't know the other guy. Bump Wills and ____________, for the Rangers against the Yankees in the late 70s. I'll go with the hint, and say the other guy was Oscar Gamble. Later
  22. Ralph Kiner told a story of when he was with the Pirates and asked GM Branch Rickey for a raise. Branch told him, "We finished last with you and we can finist last without you". Unless the Mets feel Drew would significantly improve where they finish, they might pass. Later
  23. Frayed Knot wrote: Why do I get the opinion that if this were a football story that ESPN would, a) televise it and use it as proof of football's never-ending hold over the country Because you've watched ESPN. That's why. Later
  24. Everybody is talking about Drew, but has anybody actually talked to him? Does he exist, or he some imaginary figure like a unicorn? Maybe we could ask Nancy Drew to solve the mystery. Later
  25. They should have saved those cannon and used them on the right field fence in YS III to make it almost a major league ballpark. Later
