    Last guy to be an everyday starter on offense and defense.

    Phils tend to pull these races out.

    Manuel and the coaches. I have a hunch Omar is coming back.
  5. HahnSolo
    If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say the sponsor backed out.

    I don't either, but I did get the impression that finishing the season without any transgressions was an important step if Backman had any hopes of moving up to the big club.

    Looks like a young Omar nervously answering a query from the NY media.

    The NY-Penn regular season ends Sunday. So one candidate will be available. Just sayin'. Wait, the Cyclones will be in the postseason...never mind, for now.

    He's one of those guys whose older self looks younger than his younger self.

At least half of Lou's losing seasons came while in TB The other high/low point of his career is probably the 2001 Mariners. 116 wins and then barely competitive in the playoffs My dad knew a guy who was having a good run in Vegas in October of '90, so he threw a few bills down on a Reds sweep and won 30K. The '01 Mariners, great as they were, did not have the rotation to make an extended run in the postseason, unfortunately.

    The two parts of jerry's statement don't exactly jibe with each other. Wasn't he just the 8th inning guy until his second outing where he put 2 guys on base and got yanked?

    batmagadanleadoff wrote: The shame of Manuel's closer by committee bullpen, I assume, is that it exists only because Jerry thinks he lacks another reliever as effective as K-Rod. Jerry's probably dying to eventually anoint someone else as "the closer" and will hope that someone steps up to that role. I hope that someone does as well. I don't mind having a "closer". I'm just not particularly fond of overpaid ones, nor am I a fan of managers who let the save stat dictate pitching strategy.

    Astros voided Shawn Chacon's contract after he hit Ed Wade last year, and they won. I think this is just talk from the Mets. I don't think they have the stomach for the fight.

    OK, who else thought Carlos wasn't running that one down?

    I've said it before, and will reiterate: It's been almost all "from within" hires since Fred came aboard, and yet the results are 30+ years, five postseasons, 3 division titles, one world championship. Maybe their way just isn't working, so, I want to go outside the organization for a GM. Cashen, Phillips, McIlvaine, Duquette, Minaya...[i know Minaya wasn't technically hired from within, but is there any doubt that his hiring was largely due to his tenure under Phillips?] let's get some non blue and orange blood in here.

    Oh, Jeff... Blessed with the majors' fifth-highest payroll (a staggering $132,701,445) With the exception of the disastrous Jason Bay signing, the Wilpons have spent little on improving the ball club. I guess the $132 mill was spent to not improve the ball club? Help me out.
  18. HahnSolo
    They've got to show the ball off the top of the wall play, no? At the Mets HOF "postseason video kiosk", little Solo and I watched that play about 5 times in a row, goosebumps every time.

    K-Rod

    HahnSolo replied to DocTee's topic in New York Mets Talk

    dumber to leave the scene, or dumber to come right back?

    No, but I guess I was at Fordham while you were at Manhattan, and as I read your first paragraph, things sounded familiar. Then I saw the 2-26 thing, and figured it had to be the Jaspers. To go even further off tangent, DelleBovi was the coach at my high school before he went to MC.
  21. HahnSolo
    Wow, you went through the Tom Sullivan/Bob DelleBovi years?

    Molly's awfully chirpy. I particularly like this: �Talk to me is just that: It�s talk,� Fletcher said. �What matters is what happens and is he in right field every day. And that�s what we�re watching.� Oh yeah, or what? You gonna give Jerry a knuckle sandwich?

It was clear the caller had no clue as to who he was or his lengthy resume with Houston. Just some new guy off the scrap heap as far as he knew. On the way home from work yesterday I put on FAN. I was only half-listening to Francesa drone on about the game. Then he starts talking about "Bergman"...he mentions the name about a half dozen times, and I'm thinking it's some shlub they must have called up from the minors before I realize he's talking about Lance Berkman. So it's not just the callers.

    Wasn't sure if post-deadline non-Met deals merited its own thread, but the early-Aughts Cardinalization of the Reds continues, as Cincy picks up Jim Edmonds from the Brewers. Can Fernando Vina be far behind?

    Bobby V?
