During the last 13 games the Mets have amassed the following offensive stats: Batting Avg = .240 On-Base %= .321 Slugging % = .344 OPS.......... = .665 Runs/Game= 2.77 Yes, those are pretty offensive. Later

If they are in the World Series I have two options: 1) Root for the earthquake, then the do-over with a replacement team. 2) Root for the Jets, and get ready for basketball season. wiseass young whippersnappers Later

I root for any NL team in the World Series, even the Braves. Back to the Yanks. During last night's game, John Sterling said "Robinson Cano is the best ninth place hitter in the history of the game". Georgie's Girl added "He's the second leadoff hitter in this lineup". Later

Three names come to mind: Nolan Ryan Moe Drabowsky Howard Ehmke All three had unexpectedly great post season pitching performances. Drabowsky and Ryan came out of the bullpen and Ehmke (1929) (at the end of his career) was a surprise starter for the Phillies who pitched an 11 (or was it 14?) strikeout victory. Will John Maine or Aaron Heilman be added to that list? Later

Just took a glance at the Suns' roster. From the scouting reports, it looks like the first player from that team to make the majors will probably be wunderkind outfielder Fernando Martinez. Later

Hold off on any talk of a jinx. We still don't know how Jose will perform in the post season. For all we know, an ESPN mag cover could turn out to be the Anti-SI. Later

ElDuque, Glavine and Traschell are three veteran (every time I hear that word I think of Murph) pitchers who can deliver quality starts in the post season. Later

Speaking of leaving a message - I read in the Daily News this morning that when the Mets got to the visiting clubhouse at the Ted last night, they found that someone had written "Welcome to the 2006 Eastern Division Champs" on the chalk board. Classy move. Later

I sent an email to a friend (a big Mariners fan) in Seattle to ask if it was explained in the papers out there. I'll post any info learned. If that fails, I may call them. Later

LOL! Good catch. Edited. Now, back to the question... Later

A while ago, in one of the roster threads, there was a discussion about some of the terminology used to describe a transaction. I think it was about the difference between a balllplayer being "assigned" versus "Optioned". Earlier this week I saw this in the transactions section of my local paper: "The Seattle Mariners selected RHP Jorge Campillo from Triple-A Tacoma and placed RHP Cha Seung Baek on the 60-day disabled list with tendinitis in his right triceps." I've never seen that term (selected) used before other than in regards to the draft. Usually the transaction wire/ mlb.com will say something like "Purchased the contract of..... " when a team adds a minor leaguer to the 40 man roster. Anyone else notice this? read any details about it? Why do you think it was worded this way? I won't be able to schedule that seminar someone suggested if I can't find out. Later

How would you rate this documentary about a middle school class in rural Tennessee that wanted to learn more about the Holocaust? If you missed it, it is often shown on HBO. Later

MFS62 replied to stevejrogers's topic in New York Mets Talk
I never thought I'd be rooting for that team from LA to win. But I am, for them to win just enough to bounce both Houston and Philly from the playoffs. The prospect of facing either of those two teams scares the crap out of me. I'd rather take my chances facing either LA or the Padres. Later -

No, those four dingers tied it. They won on a walkoff homer by Nomar in a later inning. Later
