Re: Roberts. Is weed really a performance enhancing drug, or just on the banned substances list? Maybe its the sugar jolt you get from eating all those snacks. Later

Most of the teams have around 50 or more remaining games on their major league schedules. But if games get rained out and the teams play fewer than 50 games, do the suspensions spill over to next year? Later

WFAN reporting that the announcement will be made today "at noon, maybe a little later". Later

Vic Sage wrote: It's got humor and romance intertwined with the rising body count, not to mention some well-staged action sequences. I can see why this might not be everyone's cup of tea, but "deplorable"? It's better than average for what it is. Vic, you're just goo-ey. Goo-ey. Yes, I enjoyed the heck out of the first one, and can't wait to see the sequel. I saw Hopkins interviewed before this came out, and he said he was proud that "he did his own stunts". I'm sure that was either tongue-in-cheek or there aren't too many tough things for him to do. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: What do you suppose is the issue with this guy? I thought the issue might have been that he is short. Short first basemen (and right handed starting pitchers) have traditionally been looked down upon. But Allan is 6'5". So the issue is still a mystery. I'd like to see him get a chance at the majors.

I think I'm going to be "surprised" with tickets to the Sunday Aug 25th game (from my daughter). Tom Seaver bobblehead? Nice. Later

So now, who is going to be the starting pitcher tomorrow? Later

Bruce Chen must have more major league unis than Modell's. Thanks, Later

Vic Sage wrote: At least LaValliere contributed by drawing walks. This guy better catch like Grote if he's ever going to stick in the majors. Grote had a 30-something percent success rate of throwing out would-be base stealers. Juan's is 42%. Later

Benjamin Grimm wrote: He probably left because you've been ignoring him for seven months. No, I toss all of my adoptees out of the house once they make the majors. Their meal money can buy them better meals than I can provide. Later

John Buck went on paternity leave and my adoptee, Juan Centeno, has been called up my the Mets. He's a high average hitting fireplug of a catcher with a good arm and no power. Join me in welcoming him. Later

And, because John Buck went on Paternity league, my kid just got called up. Welcome to the bigs, kid, and get outta' my house. Later

Baseball vs. Football (The Bradley Marquez Thread)
MFS62 replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
baseball v football, Carlin style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmXacL0Uny0 Thanks, Vic. The folks at ESPN should see that. Later -
Puello has been reported (Daily News) to be one of the players to be suspended. If he is suspended for 50 games, can the Mets add him to the 25 man roster and THEN suspend him? That way, he would serve out the 50 major league games (about the rest of the major league schedule) this year and start spring training on time next year. If they can't, then he would sit out the roughly 30 games of the minor league schedule this year, and would be banned next year until he serves out the remaining games of his suspension. This would also prohibit his attending spring training, further retarding his development. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: It's not Rice-Lynn-Evans but it ain't a bad outfield. Young does his thing on the bases and at leadoff, Lagares can really pick it and is OPS+ing at 102 as a rookie, and Byrd is one of the most productive hitters in the league. They all catch the ball. I was ready to ask Sandy to pee into a bottle, but JCL has a point. I would prefer a little more power, but it is a pretty good defensive outfield. Later

-
There will be a lot of waiver deals after the deadline because teams will want to replace the suspended players. The suspensions are to be announced after the trading deadline. Later

He's now 1 for 17. Later

Hawk carries on a long tradition of blatant homerism in baseball broadcasting. Sometimes it can be annoying. But with Hawk, you just have to listen, and laugh, at the heights (or depths) to which he has taken it. Later
