IGT 9-20-06 Mets vs Marlins. The A Team Returns
MFS62 replied to stevejrogers's topic in Archived Game Threads
When he came up the first time, the announcers on the radio were saying that he's a good hitter, and mentioned the grandslam he hit earlier this year (off Jose Lima). Later -

You're right. And if you need some statistical backup, the closest major leaguer with whom he can be compared was journeyman first baseman Bruce Bochte (not Bruce Bochy the catcher/ manager). For about the same number of career at-bats, the numbers are quite close in most categories. Then, ask the Yankee fan if Bruce Bochte belongs in the Hall of Fame. (WARNING: You might then have to duck) Later

In a related item, I heard that The Hagerstown Suns web site is reporting that the Suns have signed an agreement with the Washington Nationals to serve as their lower A farm team. Where does this leave the Mets? What locations are open? The Nationals are leaving Savannah, GA. Edgy, have you read/heard anything about this? Later
-
Too late. I didn't see an "other" option, so I voted for Glavine. Later

Woodward deserves at least a sip for that outstanding defensive play. Later
-
Better choice. Later

Green played a lot of first base when he was recovering from a bad arm. But I'm not sure how he compares defensively with Delgado. Carlos certainly has morre experience at the position. Later

]Hernandez (if he makes the squad): Neutral (but could make a game-breaking play either way). That was funny. I'd rank Floyd as neutral. When (and if) healthy, he's about on a par with most other left fielders. Later

I never heard Gaspar (he's the only other Met I saw mentioned in that article) being called pee-pee. Where did that come from? Later

Woodward gets a sip for that acrobatic fielding play. Later

If Glavine had lost the game 2-0 or 2-1, he could have strangled the life out of Willie and a jury of Mets fans would have found him not guilty on grounds of Justifiable Homicide. Later

Whether or not they will break the record can depend on how strictly the fire laws are enforced. Old Yankee Stadium (before rennovation) had a listed seating capacity of 67,000 but they often crammed as many as 73,000 in there. And the capacity at old Municipal Stadium (Cleveland) had a listed capacity of (IIRC) 70,000 yet they often drew as many as 80,000 for games in their hey day. And even with a seating capacity of 45,000 at the new Mets ballpark, a full house every night would break this year's attendance figures with 3.6+ million. Later

I think I read that the New Orleans team played at least some of their home games in the Dome. Those games produced some interesting stats because I believe one of the foul lines was kinda' short. Does anyone know if that place has been repaired since Katrina? Later

Check two posts up. Looks like I was worrying about the right thing. Later

Ok, who among you had the under on "Anderson Hernandez - 1 career RBI"? Be honest. Later

Sorry. when I think of the Braves, I tend to get serious. Later

I just heard on the radio that the senior Senor Franco will start at third base. I hope Glavine will pitch those righty batters outside. Later
