  1. Jeter at 63 and Big Unit at 36 both seem high to me, and I'd say that even if they weren't MFYs.
  2. Or maybe it wasn't Gretchen with him at all. Hmmmm.
  3. Once again, Bobby V's closer breaks his heart in a big spot.
  4. But no hope for Joe Shlabotnick (sp?).
  5. Let's see: USC, 1960s, pumped up, overzealous, hurt somebody, mercurial... gotta be OJ Simpson.
  6. Man, a California team would be sick. You could probably field two Mets California teams.
  7. Although the Rs can't really field a complete team, their pitching staff could certainly hold its own: Starters: Nolan Ryan Rick Reed Glendon Rusch Armando Reynoso Kenny Rogers Bullpen Grant Roberts Royce Ring Mike Remlinger Jerrod Riggan Jeff Reardon
  8. Knight 2.5 Fernandez 2.5 Orosco 2 Hernandez 2 Wilson .5 Mazzilli .5
  9. Wilson 2.5 Knight 2.5 Carter 1.5 Orosco 1 Mitchell 1 Ojeda 1 Strawberry .5
  10. And introducing the coaching staff for my Hs. Manager: Gil Hodges First Base Coach: Frank Howard Third Base Coach: Whitey Herzog Bench Coach: Rogers Hornsby Pitching Coach: Charlie Hough Bullpen Coach: Vern Hoscheit
  11. ]Mr. Solo, I'll take a wild guess and say you must not have seen Jim Hickman (try to) play third base. I'd have put Butch Huskey there over Hickman, and that says it all. You would be correct on point one. I'll take your word on it. He must have been bad to be a worse third baseman than Butch Huskey. Wow, that's hard to fathom.
  12. How could I have forgotten Gil Hodges as the manager of my H team? To think I was ready to go into battle with big Frank Howard as my skipper.
  13. Since I have Buddy at Shortstop, let's go with Frank Howard as our skipper.
  14. Hey, it's not easy putting this team together so quickly. I did forget about Rickey. So if I may, I'll add him to the starting lineup in left, put Hamilton in center, move Hahn to the bench, and waive bye-bye to Anderson Hernandez. If I had to do my Game One lineup, it would be: Rickey Henderson, LF Ron Hunt, 2B Keith Hernandez, 1B Todd Hundley, C Jim Hickman, 3B Steve Henderson, RF Darryl Hamilton, CF Bud Harrelson, SS Mike Hampton, P
  15. I won't beat you, but my Hs, led by captain Don Hahn, might give you a run for your money: 1b: Keith Hernandez 2b: Ron Hunt SS: Bud Harrelson 3b: Jim Hickman LF: Rickey Henderson CF: Darryl Hamilton RF: Steve Henderson C: Todd Hundley SP: Mike Hampton SP: Pete Harnisch SP: Aaron Heilman SP: Orel Hershiser RP: Doug Henry RP: Jay Hook RP: Roberto Hernandez RP: Eric Hillman RP: Tom Hausman Bench: Lenny Harris Danny Heep Butch Huskey Ron Hodges Clint Hurdle Don Hahn Jason Hardtke Richard Hidalgo [edited to add Hausman, Hardtke, and Hidalgo] edited #2 to add Rickey and make other adjustments]
  16. Am I the only one who has a hard time with Charlie Samuels being the one who makes this decision? Now supposedly the reasoning behind the black jerseys and hats that the media gives you is the always-easy-to-fall-back-on excuse that it "helps with merchandising." But is there any actual evidence anywhere that Met fans willl spend more on black or any other "alternate" jersey over the traditional blue with pinstripes? I know about 4 years ago I wanted to get my then 2-year old daughter a Met outfit so I went to the clubhouse shop. The only choices in her size were pink (okay, maybe I can see that for a 2-y-o girl, but I wanted something more traditional) or black. I walked out with nothing, and was really bummed.
  17. Mariano's reason (per story above) is pretty lame as well. He's one of the best players in the nation's history, but won't participate b/c he doesn't think his team can win? Nice message to the homeland, Fruitbat! If everybody took his cue, we'd have three countries in the tournament. And don't worry, ARod, that Dominican lineup will be just fine without you.
  18. PANIC, by Jeff Abbott, published by Dutton.A young documentary filmmaker goes home and walks in on his mother being murdered. If that wasn't bad enough, he discovers that the life his parents led was a lie...and now the bad guys are after him.It's definitely not the standard mystery/thriller. This is the first time I've read Abbott, but he's had other novels in the past. I may check those out.Recommended.
  19. Long time Jets fans can tell you that that one loss was most assuredly NOT in the Superdome.
  20. Maybe that "baseball mind" should think of a way not to swing and miss so often.
  21. You mean he was trying to be funny?
  22. Can I cast my vote for "Former Met"?
  23. Can I cast my vote for "Former Met"?
  24. If you like edge-of-your-seat 8th innings, Latroy's your man.
  25. The only Met-ly connection to my b-day (Sept. 23) is Pete Harnisch. How depressing.
