Is Al Jackson in the Mets HOF?If not, he should be.And I'd put him in before any other new inductee.Later -

IGT 8/2/05: Los Brewers al Los Mets... En Espanol!
MFS62 replied to seawolf17's topic in Archived Game Threads
Ed Coleman said that Mike had a day off yesterday and willie wanted to give him an extra day off. He added that Mike has had "an aching back". But, Mike will play the last two games of the series, even the day after night game.Later -

Tenemos movar El Culo Grande (Zambrano) muy rapidamente al otro (team?).Al otra vez. -
(From my friend Shoeless Don the White Sox fan) Takatsu fooled 'em last year with his slow, slower, slowest stuff. But the word got out this year about him in the AL and he has been lit up by everyone. I'd guess NLers know about him too, by now.PassLater

Nah, he only went to Florida State (not the U of Texas). Raffy gets to be head of the NIH.Later
-
This just in (from this morning's early Daily News, so th elink is probably gone).A small comment by Willie saying that Diaz "hasn't quite caught on" to playing first, but he feels he eventually will.This makes me think that if Diaz comes up, it will be as an outfielder.Later
-
Boyz Boyz Boyz (and Girlz)Take it to the red light forum, please.And let's get back to baseball here.The idea that the Mets were in a deadline situation that meant they didn't mortgage their future in a rash move or two is ample fodder for discussion. And I agree with that position.Later

FN = Frayed Knot, for those of you who are keeping score or can't figure it out. Or, if you meant that the other way (Who's FN?), I have absolutely no idea who that person is.LaterEdit, Yeah, I know, I should have wrirren FK, but I was hooked on phonics.

Switch,One of the radio "expert" callers addressed that , too.The person said that Viagra does not produce a steroid positive test result.I believe Raffy when he asks (I papaphrase) "Why would I be stupid enout to take something illegal, considering my statement to congress, I know thay're testing, and all I have to lose?". But I can see how it can happen. If he got an insect bite or poison ivy and put an over the counter Cortisone cream on it to stop the itching, I believe it could produce a positive test result. It could be something as innocent as that.Later
-
I'm not sure how this relates to minor league players who are on the 40 man roster of a major league team. But FN got the rest of it correct.Later
-
From what I've been hearing from callers on WFAN and ESPN radio who claim to be Lawyers, the burden of proof rests on the ability of the court (Congress?) to prove that he had taken steroids prior to have given that testimony. Given whay I;ve read about how long steroids remain in the body, the test results announced to day would have meant that any steroids he took would have been after he gave that testimony. (Back to the thread title) Maybe his performance anxiety extended beyond the bedroom.Later

Florida just got lefty Ron Villone from Seattle for two minor leaguers.Later

do something like this?I got the idea from the NFL rule that says you can trade a conditional draft pick that depends on determining the value/ situation at the time the team has to ante up.Trade a middling minor leaguer (David Bacani?) and a PTBNL to Boston for two PsTBNL.Trade Prentice Redman and PTBNL to Tampa Bay for two PsTBNL.Trade Craig Brazell and PTBNL to Cincy for two PsTBNL.You get the drill.MLB rules say you have 60 days to complete those deals. By that time, each of the clubs will know whether they should have been buyers or sellers.Its something Frank Layne or Bill Veeck would have done if the current rules were in effect.LaterI gotta get some sleep. This trade deadline watching is driving me nutz.
-
Yes Mole.That's the way teams can get around the "can't trade a player on the DL" rule.Later
-
I vote the issues.So I guess it makes sense that I would evaluate any deal based on how much it helps the Mets.But I wouldn't go buying or selling just for the sake of doing it.Later
-
We only have to look at the career of ex- Pirate catcher Orlando J. (for guess what?) MacFarlane to see that just because you name your kid after someone famous, it doesn't guarantee their success.Later
-
Arould 1PM tioday, whoever was on ESPN radio dropped this tidbit:"And the the Rays would turn Millegde around to Cincy for Adam Dunn."And then he went to another caller/ topic/ station break/ whatever.Does he know Dunn is available after all this weeks' smokescreens from Reds' management?Is that all it would take?If we're going to give up our best position prospect, why not fill the team's worst need - lefty power, and someone who could play frist base?Or is that too logical?I'd do that trade in a heartbeat.Later
-
Bret, you can write analogies for me any time.Later

I just heard Warner Wolk on ESPN radio this morning. The guy rambles and rambles and he never gave a simple "Mets give up" and "Mets get" list. Its tough to figure out all the names involved and who is going where, but here are the names mentioned so far:Mets give up: He never mentioned Cameron, but alluded to him)HeilmannLooperMets get:Manny RamirezJulio (the Rays shortstop who would play second fro the Mets)Baez.No specific mention of other players, and from his responses to callers, probably couldn't name any of the prospects involved without a cue card.And they have until noon today to get it resolved.At least getting Julio gives us a better fielder than Soriano.Later
-
A brief, but accurate, description.Later

"My question: if we could have gotten Manny for free (on waivers) two years ago, why would be now be giving up three pretty fair properties to get him now? "Because two years ago, you still had the remaining years on Piazza's contract yet to be paid. That was too much for anyone (maybe including) Boss George to endure.Now, with Piazza's contract to expire shortly, Manny's payments added to Mike's won't break a multi year bank.Later
