Keep them all. Sure, Nady will be disappointed. But he can fill in for Delgado if willie want to give Carlos (or Floyd) an occasional rest against lefties. And the Mets will get a better reading as to whether he is the long term solution once Floyd's contract is up. Later

Even though the names were hidden, Selig has said that the objective of investigations (including Mitchell's panel) is to identify the sources of all illegal substances. This was as a result of a Federal investigation. Sooner or later, the people who go with the redacted names wil be called to testify as to their sources and connections ( probably under immunity for their posession/ taking the substances). You know there will be journalists monitoring those proceedings. We'll find out the names soon enough. Later

You can like Sterling or hate him, depending on whether or not you root for the team he's announcing for. I liked him when he did the Nets games when they were in the ABA. In fact, he was the one who originally coined the phrase "Downtown" for a three point shot. Marv Albert stole that phrase and made it famous. Didn't remember that he did Islander games, too. Another announcer for an ABA team was Bob Costas, who did the games for the Spirit of St. Louis. Later

As the joke goes: The difference between a D.... dog and a Yankee Frank is that for the past few years they have served Yankee Franks in October. (Thankfully, not too far into that month) Later

Thank you Mr. Nicholson, or is it Mr. Rogers? Nah, Mr. Rogers never used language like that. LOL! Nice parody of a great scene for what I feel was a very underrated movie. Now, I have to go and arrest Barry Bonds. Tell him I said "Hello". I will Later

ScarletKnight41 wrote: If that was the pronunciation, wouldn't our announcers have figured that out by his second season with the team? Not necessarily. Hall of Fame broadcaster Curt Gowdy pronounced the name of the Cubs' shortstop Lee Elia as Lee "Eli" for as long as Elia was playing. By the time Elia became a manager, Gowdy was no longer broadcasting, so there was no telling how long it would have continued. And long-time early NY radio sportscaster Stan Lomax seemed like he never tried to learn to pronounce Latino names correctly. He referrred to pitcher Camilio Pascual as "KAM-uh-lo PAS-kul" for years.

88, he already hit his "lull" at Norfolk this year. His average dropped down from the .300s to the 270s. Then he figured out what the pitchers were doing, made the necessary adjustments, and was back near .300 when the Mets called him up. He has tremendous bat speed (as mentioned by many analysts). And because of that, it seems he can adjust quickly. He's hot, and he should stay in the lineup as long as he keeps it up, whether or not Nady has returned. Nady wouldn't look bad coming off the bench (except to him) and platooning with Cliff this year and he would be the one to step in for Cliff next year. He can get additional at bats filling in for Delgado when Willie want to give Carlos a rest. Later

Lessee now. Hit: check Hit for power: check Field: check (minus one oops but a couple of plusses) Run: check Throw: check Yup, he's exhibited all of 'em. Later

OK, Yancy. Tell us your thoughts about Bea Arthur. (Bet you thought someone would never ask) Later

I think it was when my father (may he rest in Peace) took me to my first game. It was in Yankee Stadium in the late 40's. Yanks against the heated rival Indians. There were over 70,000 fans in the pre-rennovated Ballyard in the South Bronx, and we bought walk-up tickets two rows from the back in the farthest section of the upper deck. He pointed out Joe DiMaggio and told me to watch how graceful he was. I was hooked. Later

Its good for those things to be mentioned for those of us who don't get a chance to see all the games. Thanks, 83. Later

Its better than an outfield of Johnny Lewis, Billy Cowan and Gary Kolb- but not by much. Later

IGT 6/6/06 - Mets (Pedro) at Dodgers (Lowe)
MFS62 replied to Gwreck's topic in Archived Game Threads
I didn't get to see or hear the game. After reading this IGT, I'm glad I didn't. That must have been ugly. Later -
Is the spawn of Satan, AKA Clemens' son playing, too? I heard they might be teammates on their low A club. Later

Yep, I was just indicating where they would find out why they belong on this list. Didn't mean to indicate they were my additions. "More names" wasn't appropriate there. Later

Elster88 wrote: I am not a fan of drafting based on upside. Nor am I. I like to see players drafted on the high rounds who are sufficiently developed to be able to contribute atthe major league level within one or two years. However, you have to take amateur production with a good dose of scouting. For example, Alan Zinter was drafted because he had set all-time Pac-10 records for home runs (and I think RBI). And he was a prety good defensive catcher. Who would have known that it would take him many years to make th emajors and have a very brief career there? And Dave Magadan was a pretty good contact hitter in College. But the Mets drafted him because in the NCAA playoffs after his senior year, he set a then-tourney record with seven home runs. The Mets were salivating at his "upside". Unfortunately, that was the last time he demonstrated that kind of power in his career. They got a lefty-hitting Danny Cater/ Pat Tabler instead of a Raffy Palmiero. They got a major leaguer, but not the kind of one they had hoped for. Later

]NEW YORK METS - Kevin Mulvey (RHP, Villanova): Unheralded coming into the season and pitching for a northern college, he didn�t start receiving press until mid-season. He was just 3-8 with a 3.61 ERA, but had solid base skills (3.8 Cmd, 8.6 K/9, and a .254 oppBA). Scouts point to his projectable, strong/athletic frame and solid arm action to the reasons behind his easy velocity (87-93 MPH). He is a four-pitch pitcher, throwing two solid breaking pitches (71-72 MPH curveball and slider) to compliment his fastball and marginal change-up. His aggressiveness on the mound has both good and bad results, but should be able to smooth-out the rough edges with more experience. Sounds like a pitcher with the upside to one day be another John Maine. Memo to Omar. Draft some freakin' hitters. The minor league organization's position players are weaker than the Swiss Navy.

I had heard that the Orioles' owner really liked him as a player. It would have been ironic for them to have drafted the guy who helped screw them out of a playoff win. Now watch the Yankees draft him and give him a sizeable bonus as a payback/ thank you. Later
