    Koji Uehara. There's someone there with Metley ties (one time minor leaguer), but my dark horse for MVP if he will be on the WS roster - Mike Carp. Later

    Is Director, Social Media the same thing as Spin Doctor? I guess it depends on if he is doing his thing before or after something happens. Let's wait and see. LAter

    Mets � Willets Point wrote: I'm trying to find the image of Jim Leyland reacting to Prince Fielder's belly flop. I think that captures the exact moment he decided to resign. During his press conference yesterday, he said he made decision after a win in Kansas City back in September. Had breakfast with the GM the next day and told him, but they didn't tell anyone else in the organization until now. Later

That doesn't make much sense. Radio reception up here is weird. less than 60 miles NE of NYC, I sometimes get radio stations from as far away as Maine and Cape Cod overpowering the signals of some NY stations, both AM and FM. I get WCBS-AM loud and clear. I think I read (heard?) its because many NY stations beam their signals toward upstate NY and New Jersey because they figure Connecticut has its own stations. Not sure the reason, but it really pisses me off. Later

    Happy birthday, kid. Later

    Sawks in 6, but I still have to root for the National League representative. Later

    Yes. Since 2004, we have learned that we don't like the Cardinals and the fans of our cross town team don't like the Red Sox. That makes us like the Red Sox. Later

    Torii Hunter was my Al guy like Beltran was my NL guy. I wanted them to finally get to play in a World Series. Oh well. At least Carlos made it. Later

    If you believe that baseball is a thinking fan's sport as I do, shut off the tv sound and listen to the radiocast. Orel Hersheiser is doing excellent color commentary, letting us know not just what pitch was thrown (any color analyst can do that by reading the monitor) but why it was thrown and what it might be setting up one or two pitches later. Fascinating stuff from inside a pitcher's (and catcher's) head. Later

    MF reported about Carson being claimed by the Angels in her "remember" thread, Metsblog also announced that the Mets also announced today that LHP Sean Henn and RHP Greg Burke were outrighted. Also heard that the other Los Angeles team had claimed Mike Baxter from the Mets. Waiting for confirmation. Is it still a rule that teams must wait until after the World Series to make moves? MLB put the rule in a few years ago so news about moves wouldn't take attention from the post-season games. Later

    Had good stuff. Not so good results. I wish him well. Later

    Ed Bouchee was born in Montana and moved to Washington State, where he attended Washington State University. He majored in Biology and minored in Animal Husbandry. He taught those subjects for many years and then went into research. He spent time in Europe, working with the team that successfully produced the first cloned sheep. Having reached the pinnacle of success in that field, he returned to the States and rediscovered his first love - sports. He coached youth teams at the high school level for many years. But his aim was higher. He wanted to coach college athletes. He coached at several colleges, assisting several coaches to reach the College World Series. In an interview earlier this year, just prior to his death, Ed said that the one place he wanted to coach was at Penn State. As he said, "There are always new openings to explore". Later

Neither. After viewing both pictures, the thought that would pop into my head would have a stereotypical Brooklyn accent and would say, "What is he? Fuckin' stoopid?" Later

    IIRC, Charlie Finley once installed a clock (when the A's were in Kansas City) to show the time between pitches and MLB made him take it down. Later

    I agree its an issue. But I prefer to take the glass half full approach that the Biogenesis usage was in the past and that he did not fail a drug test while he was putting up those numbers this year. Time will tell. Later

    Not only has it not gone unsaid, but you just said it twice. And in other threads as well. Later

    My kid finished the season early because of the PED suspension. But from his numbers, I'm confident he'll be fighting for a spot on the 25 man roster next Spring. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=puello001ces Later

    In a close call, I still think Bud Harrelson was consistently a better fielder than Ordonez. Bud prevented bloops down the left field line from turning into doubles better than any shortstop I ever saw. Later

    A paraphrase from Orel Hersheiser, doing color on the radiocast, "Carl Crawford has no baseball instincts, especially base running." Later

    John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I think it probably is the end for Niuewenhuis, Carson, Burke, Byrdak, Feliciano, Valdespin, Henn for starters. Edgin? Who knows. Has not made the kind of progress they'd hoped. I voted that Edgin stays, the rest go. My thinking was that Byrdak is getting long in tooth, coming off injury. They can probably re-sign Feliciano. Henn has no real track record of success. Carson is a AAA pitcher at best. There are no lefty relievers ready in the minors. So Josh stays by default. Maybe with Scott Rice. Later
