Yance, don't stop him with facts. He's on a roll. Later

I feel like I'm at the opera. How many solos (soli?) can we see? Can't anyone hit a homer (or any other kind of hit, for that matter) with someone on base? Later
-
Thank you Mr. Wilpon. Later

Maybe we'll get to see Roberto Hernandez or Jacobs catch. Later

Benson 3 Heilmann 3 Jacobs 2 Anderson 2 Later

Maybe if Casey had managed Reyes, the message of "butcher boy" (meaning chop down on the ball and run like Hell) would have sunk in. And Reyes would be the next Ichiro. Later

Methinks he had "100 runs scored" running through his head. Later

Hmmm, they're auditioning Shealy in advance of an off season Helton contract dum..., er,deal? If they aren't, why bother to play him since Helton's deal still has six or seven years to run. Or is this a Tim Harkness type of scam? Later

Gee, I used to work in the building right next door. Later

The official name is SportsNet New York. Later

Mr. Newman's first official act will probably be to steal the name from New England Sports Network and name it New York Sports Network. Mr Cohen's first official act will be to defend against the NESN infringement lawsuit. Later

Bitch of a way to say "Happy Birthday" to Heath Bell. (Its really today) He hasn't pitched since Mike Schmitt was still playing, then he's put in there against a good hitting team that's pissed off. Later
-
Ed Coleman provided some insight yesterday afternoon. While he didn't go as far as to say that they are in violent disagreement, he said that "Peterson is a numbers guy, while Willie likes to go with his gut". Seems to me that conflict has to be resolved in some way if Peterson is going to be there next season. Later

This is one of those threads that makes this place really fun; stats, opinion, challenge, defense, all with some logic thrown in and no personal attacks. Good job. Please permit me to add my 2 cents. I wondered why Graves was given some late season, low impact situations when those innings might have been given to Heath Bell. Maybe he'll get to pitch tomorrow (Sept 29th), on his birthday. Later

Has anyone heard whether Keppinger's leg is recovered enough to play Winter ball? If so, where will he be playing?His minor league OBP numbers make me think he would be an effective #2 hitter. I see him being a Ron Hunt type of in-your-face, my-uniform-is-always-dirty, overachiever type of player. Comparing his baseball skills to Anderson Hernandez' tools is a discussion of the type that could keep the hot stove fires burning this winter.And in a sorta' roster related question, doesn't Mo Vaughn's contract (counted for luxury tax purposes) also expire at the end of this season?EDIT: Edgy, if you think this shouldn't be in this thread, please let me know. I'll make it a new thread.Later

LaRussa has had bad luck in pinch running situations since the Jerry Dubzynski incident when Tony was managing the White Sox. Killed their playoff hopes that year. My friend Shoeless Don the White Sox fan still hates him for that move. Later
-
either Willie is going to see if Aaron can handle a two inning save situation or ..... Looper? Graves? I'm afraid to even think about it. EDIT: Of course, this is based on the supposition that Willie has learned that RH can't pitch every day. And I'm not really sure he has learned that lesson - he's only been burned twice thinking that this season. Later

The big test will be the hot dog race. Which will still be served deep into October - Yankee Franks or Fenway Franks? Later

For those of you who are interested, its 2-1 Bosox after 4 1/2. RBIs by Ortiz and Manny in the first. Jays' run scored on a PB. (Wakefield on the mound. He had a no-no through four) Later

I keep hearing about Rollins breaking the Phillies team record for hitting in consecutive games. But what team was Pete Rose playing for when he set the NL record? I though the was with the Phils at the time. Later

IIRC, when he was in the Mets system, he wore fatigues all the time and had several body piercings. That apparently got him labelled as "someone we don't want in our clubhouse." He is one of those Faberge eggs- when he's intact, he's very valuable. But when he's broken, he's worthless. And he's spent too much time on the DL over his career for my taste. Add that to the fact that he hasn't pitched well in several starts down the stretch for the Fish this year, and I'm getting a mental red flag about his arm. I'd pass. Later

We now take a slight detour from the Metsiness of this thread, but stay on the topic Edgy just introduced- the pursuit of women. When he was a junior officer in the British Army, Winston Churchill was Court Martialed for "Being out of uniform for chasing a woman, while he was naked, through the halls of a hotel." Winston pled his own case before the Court Martial. He based his defense on the British Army Uniform Handbook which stated "A British Officer shall be considered to be in uniform if he is properly attired for the activity in which he is engaged." He was found to be "not guilty." We now return you to the Metsiness of this thread. Later
