    Thanks. Later

    Billy Williams. Bonds doesn't deserve any votes .... not even in our poll. (well, if you asked us to name the biggest douchebag of his era....) Later

    I voted here before I saw the right field list(Only been around the infield so far), so Dawson was a right fielder to me. Whether Dawson was there or not, I voted for Al Oliver. He's a borderline HOF-er, and if he won't ever get enough votes there, he got mine here. Later

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: Hernandez and Stargell. Olerud only spent three years in the NL East. I never gave him a moment's consideration. Just curious, how many years did Keith spend in the NL East? Did the Cards play in another division during part of his career? Later

    Edgy DC wrote: I measured with my own formula, and Simmons again comes out as one of the most sorely underappreciated players of my time. I've got him number one and Carter number two. I'll call it even after defense is factored in. I thought the same way, and even voted for Ted. He had a higher career BA and more career RBI. But then I checked out the GP behind the dish, and Ted moved away from catching toward the end of his career. Maybe, I shouldn't have been as hasty. Why not Piazza? Because he played only a little over half his games in the NL East. Later

    The vote came out the way I figured them, Mike and then Chipper. I'm late to the voting, but I'll vote anywayz to see who the rest of you picked. If I'm way off base, I'll tell you why I voted the way I did. Later

    I hope we get Oswalt for one reason: So he can go on Francesa's show and tell him, "It's OH-swalt, you dope. Not OZ-walt. I've been in the league for ten years, get it straight." Man, that just gave me some old radio flashbacks. I remember when Mel Allen kept saying "Leroy" Face, when the best closer of that time's name was El Roy Face. He never got it right. And Stan Lomax, a fixture behind the WOR sports desk for many years would pronounce All-Star pitcher Cam -meel- ee-oh Pas-kwal as Cam-Ill-oh Pas-kul. Of course, these days we have Jon Miller constantly trying to proove that he can pronounce names correctly. He comes off as just constantly trying. Later

    I did a Yahoo search on Mets scouts. The second link to pop up surprised me:(the second group of links) http://wwwwp.find-assist.com/search?qo=scout.mets.com&rn=0trD8gOEVEUEA2_ I wonder what he is doing these days? Later

    I dunno. A site that folks here say is gay (see several other threads) should love a swish- a- licious call. Later

    I voted "back in the swing" as a hope. Later

    Uh, not for nuthin', but I remember when the World War II war movies used "Zips" as a derogatory term for Japanese (So was "Nips"). I realize he meant two games in which he gave up no runs, but somebody should eat a lot of sushi for that headline. Later

    Lutz put on the DL with a fractured foot. The one bit of good news, if there is any, is that the injuries in Brooklyn during 2007 and 2008 were in the RIGHT foot. This is the left foot. Is that better or worse? I guess it's not a winning combination no matter how you slice it. Later

    Talk about your basic delusions of grandeur for Paul. Now he thinks he's Craig f'n Biggio. What next? Centerfield? Later

    I'm guessing the Post will have "Jeter Needed the Rest, So He Made It Rain". Later

    The amazing thing is that now that Dickey seems to have finally mastered the pitch, he could pitch until he is as old as Moyer is today. (Although he feels a lot older after the Mets hit him for 5 runs last night) Knuckleballers, if they are any good, pitch to the age of 40 and beyond - Wilhelm, Wilbut Wood, the Niekros and Wakefield. Dickey is a mere kid at 35. Who knows? Later

    Edgy DC wrote: I can't think of anybody who's been unstoppable for 7-10 years at a run. Maddux? Seaver? Walter Johnson? That reminds me. Somebody should interview Jamie Moyer about what it was like to pitch against Walter Johnson. (Yes, that was me calling someone else old.) Later

    Barajas and Blanco were seen flipping a coin. The loser gets to catch tonight. The results of the coin toss aren't available yet. Later

    Steve Phillips on WFAN: 'I would trade Strasbourg for Oswalt. I would not take Mejia for Oswalt'. I wonder if he would have traded John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander. Later

I'd bet that Davey would've lobbied to trade Rey instead of Mora. Twenty HR's from a SS in one season is nothing to sneeze at. You don't have to go that far back to find a should'/coulda' deal that involved trading an infielder who could hit for one with better defense. what about Ty Wiggington, who has turned into sort of a poor man's Dan Uggla, for Jeff Keppinger? Hey, IMO, Jeff Keppinger would even be better than Cora. Later
