  4. Alderson "considers" making an offer? I'm considering making an offer to Angelina Jolie. Yadda Yadda, its the Post. Later
  5. Thank you, Jason. I can face all the YLDBs in my office on Tuesday. Later

Well, the NL won the last AS Game and the last World Series. C'monnnn NL, win the IL series this year, so I can shove it back in that person's face. This one's not business. Its personal. Later

I remember Tony Horton, a good young first baseman for the Indians. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hortoto01.shtml He had similar problems and went into psychiatric care. Unfortunately, he never made a comeback. I wish better things for Taylor. But you never know. Later

I thought they were bringing back the old Saturday morning tv show. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_king He could hop in his plane and fly to where some of the pitches Pelfrey throws eventually land. PS - Penny was hot. Later
  12. I know what they are going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Later
  13. Back to Reyes superlatives. The two guys on ESPN NY radio (Robin Lundberg and ?) from noon to 2 PM are dyed in the wool Yankee fans, barely deigning to admit the Mets exist for the first part of this year. Recently, they have been talking about the Mets and the year Jose has been having. So I have been listening to them for both comic relief as well as to hear their perspective on the Mets. Yesterday, I heard one of them say that the Mets can't trade Jose, not only for the numbers he has been putting up, but because of his "intangibles". I thought Yankee fans only used that word for you-know-who. Considering the source, that's the best superlative I can think of. Later

  15. Benjamin Grimm wrote: Definitely. It's not easy at all to do something that only Ty Cobb has done. Unless you decide to charge into the stands and beat up a one-armed fan. Which reminds me, which actor will play Jose in the movie? With so many CPF-ers into movies and actors, maybe this should be a separate thread. Later

  18. metsguyinmichigan wrote: What an awesome game! We had a blast, and Manny Acosta threw me the game ball after the final out!!! Cool. Keep it safe, away from the eyes of kids looking for something to toss around. That's how I lost my Jim Hickman home run ball from the Polo Grounds. Later

Only better, per Elias, thru 1,000 games: Ty Cobb (106 triples, 391 steals). #mets And Jose hasn't even sharpened his spikes yet. When you compare a ballplayer to Ty Cobb after 1,000 major league games, that's pretty superlative right there. In fact, it might be the superlative-est. Later

  21. Zach Lutz is suffering “concussion-like symptoms” after getting beaned on Friday. That’s just too bad. My kid’s hitting .326/.417/.551 in 27 games in AAA. Later
  22. A possible answer to what Soupcan raised. This may be a little off the wall (what else is new?), but I think Selig did McCourt a favor by blocking the deal. I mean, if you dislike a spouse enough that you want to divorce her, you want to limit what she gets. And under California divorce laws, she would get half of what he has. So, out of spite, why would he want to give her $1.5 billion? Later
  23. They still owe Marquis Grissom money, even though he went to another ML team and has been out of the game for more than five years? Gee, that kind of stuff sounds very familliar. Couldn't happen to a nicer team. Later
  24. Good KTE. Thanks, Later
  25. I remember Bud having great range. He was probably the best I ever saw going back on pop flies down the left field line, taking "doubles" away from opposing hitters. But he had more strikeout pitchers on the staff, so the other numbers, especially total chances, might be very close. (just guessing) Later
