That's my boy! Thanks. Later

When I was a kid, I loved the old serial films, both on tv and atthe movies on Saturday. Each "thrilling episode" ended with a cliff-hanger, to be resolved atthe start of the next episode with either a diffferent camera angle or some downright revisionist history. SW III was the logical extension of the Flash Gordon movies, just as Indiana Jones was the logocal extension of Time Tyler's Luck, with a little Zorro and Gene Autry's Radio Ranch thrown in for good measure. When I saw the first Indy movie, I loved it, and couldn't help think where a director might have ended an episode and how the situation might be resolved next week. But SW III brought back some great memories. Years later, when I joined my present company, I looked around the Customer Service department and thought they could have cast the bar scene there. Later

He's gone 0-7 in his first few AFL games. Later

Back in the day when there were first run movie theaters on 42nd street, my friend and I cut school to see a matinee of Psycho. In the tense moment when the detective is climbing the stairs, a woman cried out "Masher! Masher! He put his hand on my knee!". The movie stopped, the lights went on, and we saw a woman (who appeared to be in her )hittting an even older looking gentleman over the head with her umbrella. The ushers came and dragged him away. The lights went out, the movie resumed and the audience was chuckling during the rest of the movie. The mood was totally ruined. But, the ending scared me so much that I slept with the lights on for a few nights afterwards. That gets my vote. Rear Window is notable because it might be the only time Raymond Burr acted in something where someone else was in a wheelchair. The best "Hitchcock movie" that he never made was Charade. To this day, when movies come up in conversation, some people I've spoken with still believe he directed it. Later

Nice stateside debut, kid. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=villas001edi Stop by the house for some good food. We want to put some meat on that lanky frame so you can get your strikeout totals up. Later

Welcome to the bigs, kid. You're on your own now. I'm kicking you out of the house. But you're always welcome to stop by and pay a visit. Later

Wilmer, who just turned 19, had his best full year (at two A levels): http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=flores003wil He finally showed some consistent XB power that has come with his body developing. Later

Got a report saying that not only is the foot ok (it was different from his prior foot injuries) but that he has been brought up to Buffalo to replace Duda. Later

Last night's start, his first in AAA: 8 IP, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K, 1 HR, 10-2 GB-FB, 1.13 ERA And a no decision. Later
-
Heard on the Bisons game last night he has been promoted to Buffalo, will be starting Monday. Later
-
Oops, just checked. I confused Duda with Lutz. Duda is the lefty batter, Lutz is the righty. He has played fewer than 10 games in right field in his minor league career, but plenty in left. Let's give the kid a shot. Later
-
Last night: 7 IP, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 0 HR, 10-6 GB-FB, his AA ERA is now 1.32. It was a 7 inning complete game (second game of a double header). Later

77 % Vic, I appreciated your comments, especially about including the chronological edition of GF I and II. As for your comment about the new things in Citizen Kane, I recall learning in films class that it was the first time that the ceiling of a room had been shown in a movie. And, I would have included his Touch of Evil on the list. But because I haven't seen all of them, I don't know which I would have bumped to make room for it. OK, yes I do. Sound of Music. Later

And the beat goes on. Familia the last 3 games: 20 1/3 IP 30 Ks 16 H 3 ER 6 BB That is ace type stuff especially when you consider he's only 20 until October. The kid just needs to keep that walk rate, or even something close, and everything else will fall in line. Later

My Inside Pitch guy sent me this link: At least it doesn't seem as serious as his prior foot injuries: http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20100814/SPORTS02/8140337/1118/B-Mets-cautious-with-gimpy-Lutz He also said he'd be attending the Bingy game on Tuesday to learn more. Later
-
All he could find out was that is an "undisclosed injury, and he is listed day-to-day". Later
-
He was pulled from the game after GIDP. I hope he didn't pull a hammy trying to beat it out. I asked my guy at Mets Inside Pitch what happened and he hasn't found out yet. If I find out before I have to leave for work, I'll let you know. Later

Ratliff is hitting .329 with 14 home runs and a .977 OPS in Double-A (in 52 games) in his second full season in the system. This is a fourth round pick showing his wears. He's giving the Mets another value bat at the upper levels. You've got to like that. Later
-
He's now up with Buffalo, and hitting .333. I listened to the wrap up/ highlights of the Buffalo game last night. Kirk's last RBI was a bases loaded walk. The AB before that, he hit a ball off the right field wall and got to second. It wasn't until I saw the box score this morning that I noticed that he was awarded a single. I guess the official scorer felt it made it to second on the throw home. That's what happens when you're on the road. You hit the ball off the freakin' wall and make it to second, it's a DOUBLE. Yer kid wuz robbed, FK, robbed! Later

Lutz now has 15 HRs in 155 ABs at AA. Later

"Zippity" Duda is the only righthanded power hitting prospect for the Mets playing at a higher level than A ball. That may be to his advantage when he is compared to the others (Kirk, Ratliff, Martinez, Lutz, et. al.) I'm not sure whether Evans is part of that group since he has already played in the majors.

My tall, thin, unpronouncably-named kid is currently pitching in the Gulf Coast Rookie League: http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=villas001edi Decent ERA, not as many strikeouts as i would like. Later

C'mon, Ceetar. Its only a dollar a day to support a kid. Haven't you been watching all those Sally Struthers commercials? Later
-
So, uh, can you tell us how you really feel? Don't hold back. LOL! Later
