  1. Where will those last three games between Philly and Florida be played? Later

  3. Johnny Dickshot wrote: If you're too scared of your wife, your religion or your boss to walk around looking stupid for a couple weeks, then I urge you to take up some other foolish gesture with playoff mojo implications. I have. I finally found a new "good luck" sitting position for watching Mets games. MMYF threw me a curve by getting new furniture and throwing out my recliner. Later
  4. If I had to hang out a lot with Yankee fans, I'd grow my beard back as a disguise. Later
  5. And if they can you for the beard, think of the great lawsuit you'd have. I used to have a full beard. But working around the garden in the Summer made it all sweaty. So I decided to shave it off. Bad decision - I looked like a raccoon for a while until my suntan equalized. Later
  6. Jose Lima. Later
  7. Martinez 1.5 Chavez 2.5 Delgado 2 Feliciano 1 Bradford 1 Later
  8. The Pelican was the logo/ symbol of the New Orleans Worlds's Fair a few years ago. I think I still have some souvenirs. Later
  9. There's a Mets fan in New Orleans on another board who has already offered to be a tour guide for a trip to Bourbon Street and a Zephyrs game. Seems to me folks should take in the Zephyrs game first. If they go to Bourbon Street first, they might not make it to the ball game. Later
  10. I just realized that with rotund Heath Bell possibly playing in New Orleans next year, I'd better call my broker and buy some jambalaya futures. Later
  11. Regarding the distance/ travel time should a player need to be called up quickly - The only three I could see going to AAA who might be subject to immediate callup are Bell, Pelfrey and Humber. And the last two would usually have some time between starts (their last minor league and a major league start) to have plenty of time to rest from travel. Maybe Carlos Garcia will play there, but I don't see him as an emergency "gotta' be there tonight" kind of callup. Later
  12. Zephyrs blow. Later
  13. Portland has a AAA team. They're called the Portland Sea Dogs. I have their sweat shirt. Later
  14. I'll start: c- Kenji Johjima 1b- Mike Lum 2b- Tadhito Iguchi ss- Kaz Matsui 3b- Craig Shipley lf- Benny Agbayani cf- Ichiro rf- Hideki Matsui of- So Taguchi sp- Chan Ho Park sp - Sid Fernandez sp- Hideo Nomo sp- Ron Darling sp- Chien-Ming Wang rp - Masanori Murakami (the pioneer) cl-Kaz Sasaki Some others: of - Teyoshi Shinjo of - Cris Snelling sp - Jae Seo
  15. The tv show Survivor matches teams in competition against each other. This year, they have assembled teams by race - each team is all Caucasian, Black, Asian or Hispanic. I know we have done something like this before, but don't think it was done with Asian players. To make it a tad easier, let's consider it an Asian-Pacific team that would include Hawaiian and Australian players as well as those from the Pacific Rim. The team would include: c 1b 2b 3b ss lf cf rf of sp sp sp sp cl note: no "position" was listed for those AL guys who only hit. Give it a try. Later
  16. IIRC, the type of ships Columbus said on were called Caravelles. Later
  17. Willets Point wrote: Well that's bad history since clippers are a specific type of sailing ship from the 19th-century. Weren't the Clipper ships trading vessels? George prefers free agency. Later
  18. Farmer Ted wrote: My nrother lives in Columbus and confirms the Nats AAA squad is going there AND possibly retaining the Clippers name. He and I both believe that the Clippers name was born out of Nazi-brenner's loves for boats and a tribute to his father who was a ship-building magnate. Researchers, please confirm or deny. Ted, most of us dislike Boss George enough without calling him a "Nazi". As for the rest, yes, his family earned its fortune in the ship-building business, so that sounds reasonable about naming the team the Clippers. Later
  19. HahnSolo wrote: Was Benito Santiago ever a Met? I don't remember him from last year? Did he come to spring training or something? Yep, spring training, as Steve mentioned in his response. He may have even played a few games at Norfolk. Edit: I just checked the Norfolk season stats. He apparently didn't play there during their regular season. Later
  20. Willets Point wrote: Columbus Swing Voters has a good ring to me. That would go over as well as the name Columbus- Not the Buckeyes Later
  21. I like Heath Bell. I want to see him do well. But honestly, when we see him on the mound through the eye of the center field camera his butt looks like the back end of a garbage truck. Heath, if you don't start hitting the salad bar more often, you're going to have to put backup lights on your ass. Later
  22. the Yankees had to back into their division championship? They didn't "win" it for themselves? Just some ammunition for when you talk to MFY fans today. This was a public service announcement. Later
  23. Reyes - 2 LoDuca - 2 Delgado - 1 Valentin - 1 Feliciano - 1 Bell - 1 Later
  24. How can the Yankee fans not love him? After all, he has those rings.... Later
  25. Now, they just have to figure out what to do against lefty pitchers when they bat. Later
