  1. Those who wish to track "wasted bases loaded, no outs situations" can make the first notations in their ledgers.
  2. Lil Sarge with a hit and Francoeur with a walk. Am I dreaming?
  3. Ryan Zimmerman doubles home Nyjer please Morgan to give the Nats a 1-0 lead on first ballot hall of famer and "difference-maker" Roy Halladay.
  4. Who Can't hit HRs in Citi Field???

I'd definitely pay to get in there, at least the first time I went. Hahn, KC & I will also be there Thurs. I think we're going to meet at McFaddens. I don't remember McFaddens from last year. Where is it again?
  6. Littlest kid called up to the big club. His season has come.

I guess i'll find out if things from there start popping up as 'must read', but so far it's not worth reading the main stream media about the Mets since they are incapable of forming an opinion that's not heavily supported by all the other media guys, and the negativity cycle just continues. Too much of ESPN's on-line stuff is hidden behind their "Insider" walls, so I tend not to do much more on their sites than browse headlines.
  10. I tend to like O'Connor, Rubin and Kieran Darcy. They have a pretty strong douche contingent in Wally, Marchand, and Coutinho, though.
  11. 1. First hit PAGAN 2. First double BARAJAS 3. First triple WRIGHT 4. First home run JACOBS 5. First stolen base CORA 6. First baserunner caught stealing/picked off WRIGHT 7. First guy to hit into a double-play BAY 8. First batter to strike out FRANCOEUR 9. First fielder to commit an error WRIGHT 10. First guy to score a run PAGAN 11. First guy to drive in a run WRIGHT 12. First Met player to field a batted ball CASTILLO 13. First Met to draw a walk CASTILLO 14. First Met relief pitcher to make an appearance FELICIANO 15. First Met to reach base on an error BAY 16. First winning Met pitcher SANTANA 17. First losing Met pitcher IRAGASHI 18. First Met to throw a wild pitch NIESE 19. First Met to be hit by a pitch FRANCOEUR 20. First Met pitcher to plunk an opposing batter MAINE Tiebreaker bonus (if necessary): Date of Jerry Manuel's first ejection MAY 1ST [edited b/c I was conflating Pagan and Cora again]
  12. For the second day in a row, I have a Heyman observation: today he has picked two teams to win the world series. SI is looking to hand Heyward the ROY now while they're at it.
  13. Can we find a space for that photo in the douchewear thread?
  14. Wasn't Heyman one of the guys beating the "Mets have no farm system" drum last year? I seem to recall him saying it or implying it on 'FAN. Kind of makes his first sentence a bit disingenuous. But I'm all for our system getting some mainstream love.
  15. 3rd place 78-84 No playoffs
  16. "The good thing is Ruben Tejada is playing pretty well," Minaya said. "I know Jerry has been playing him. And that's one of the reasons we went out there and were able to get a guy like a Cora." How is that one of the reasons you were able to go and get a guy like Cora? I thought the primary reason you got a guy like Cora is that he had few other suitors. "I have no time to unravel your logic Murray."
  17. ESPN radio just broke in and said that Omar said Reyes will be out "2 weeks to 2 months" to rest his overactive thryoid.
  18. At the risk of sounding hopelessly out of touch, I have no idea who the Peavy look-alike is.
  19. Maybe Omar knew something? Well, Omar certainly knew that the driving in Miami is "crazy" as Flores says. Or at least he should have, after what happened in July 2006. Come to think of it, Omar probably should have warned him about all those cab trips.
  20. I'm sure there are others, but The Big Hurt is the first power guy I can remember where his ability to take a walk was seen as a positive and not as a liability (of course I wasn't around for Ruth, et al). He shattered the notions of "you're a power guy, if its close, you gotta swing" and showed people that there's usually nothing wrong with taking pitches and taking a walk.
  21. The Mets have 11 players on their 40-man roster who either switch-hit or bat lefty, and that group combined for 26 homers from the left side in 2,634 at-bats last year. From the Sherman article in his argument for Branyan. Wow. I am not sure I really want Branyan, but wow.
  22. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr wrote: I would probably draft a Tommy Kitaen, scouting report unseen. I bet he hits lefties.
  23. Is the stadium in Minny going to be connected at all to the downtown SkyWalk? I know the Target Center is, but the Metrodome wasn't. And the new stadium is right near the Target Center. The SkyWalk rocks. You can leave your hotel to go to a T-Wolves game a mile away and never throw on a jacket.
