I feel like telling the fat lady to sit down and shut up. Later

And if Manny does well, Terry can answer those questions with something like: "Well, Bobby didn't seem to learn very much from the coaches and other experienced relievers we had here. So maybe he'll learn something from watching Acosta actually save some games." Later

Thanks, Later

I was going to post Krauthammer's piece when I got home tonight. Sure won't make me (or anyone else who read DC sports writing) forget Shirley Povich. I couldn't picture the "perpendicular" throw, and am still not sure perpendicular to what. I know, he's a political guy, but ... Ankiel's throw: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=2655396 Later

Big News! (update: Mets Minority Stake For Sale)
MFS62 replied to seawolf17's topic in New York Mets Talk
IIRC, when the Wrigley family sold the Cubs, one of the reasons given was that because of the Corporate Tax law in effect at the time, you could not claim a team as a tax writeoff if it had lost money for seven years. After that, it had to be delared a hobby. I wonder: If that law is still in effect, and How many years they have claimed Mets losses. (Especially to offset profits in SNY and their Madoff holdings) Later -
bmfc1 wrote: Herrera has great numbers v. lefties: http://www.metsminorleagueblog.com/mets-get-adrian-rosario-and-danny-ray-herrera-for-k-rod/ That's interesting. I thought lefty screwball pitchers had better success against righty hitters because the ball breaks away from them. Later

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Were any of you present at Josh Satin's birth? I have conflicting reports about his birthplace. Was it Hidden Hills, California? Or Los Angeles? Hidden Hills is part of Los Angeles County. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Hills,_California Probably like a Riverdale/ Bronx kind of thing. Later

metirish wrote: Was there not a young gun in the minors able to take the start tonight instead of Batista?, nothing against Miquel, just curious. I don't think there's a single pitcher who I would like to see (Familia) who would be able to take this start in a normal turn. At least RA will have someone his own generation and intellect in the clubhouse. Later

I used to think that if Horace Clark and Chuck Hiller could be every day second basemen in the majors, so could I. And Satin has to be better than I was. Welcome to the bigs, Josh, even though your mother still wishes you were a Doctor. Later

Let's start with Alabama. Greatest Ballplayer from There: Willie Mays (Westfield, 1951-1973). Hank Aaron was from Mobile. Later Mays was a greater ballplayer. Probably, but Aaron had more home runs and I wanted to post something in honor of my power being restored. Later
-
Acosta has the best ERA of any of the Met relievers who pitched tonight? I have some box scores to catch up on. Has he been that effective latesly? Later

1) My bad. (error of enthusiasm?) 2) Yup. (Hey, Clemente walked fewer than 25 times a year for his first 5 years in the majors. And I'm hoping that my kid will one day be spoken of in the same breath as a hitter. After all, he's my kid. I have to think that way. Now don't get all logical on me and spoil my reverie.) Later
-
Three more hits tonight. My kid's still hitting .398 after over 120 AAA at bats. Later

Maybe this proves that Jeter's bat isn't as good as YLDBs have been telling us. Later

Rip that statue of Jackie Robinson down* and replace it with a statue of Capuano. A REAL Met hero. Later * = actually, drop it on Chipper from about 5,000 feet.

Maybe we can cross one name off this list: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2011/08/25/2011-08-25_yankees_captain_derek_jeter_charlies_angels_star_minka_kelly_split_after_three_y.html Later

Nice job. If necessary, I'm sure some of the music mavens here can get you those Reagan tapes. Later

(I think this is the correct thread) Listened to a bit of the Buffalo game tonight. Playing outfield for the Toledo Mud Hens was an old pal: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=LF&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=340392 Later

Oops. I keep getting these threads mixed up. Moved. Later
