  1. Lackey to Boston? Halladay to Philly? Cue the moron WFAN callers and Daily News baseball columnists.
  2. Great googly moogly that's an awful collection.
  3. The problem with voting for a starter and backup is that it looks llike they get equal scoring. There's b big gap between my first string and my second string.
  4. 1. Piazza 2. Doc 3. Straw 4. Cashen 5. Davey 6. Walker 7. Valentine 8. Jarvis I'm in the camp of a Jane Jarvis feature in the Met museum, not a plaque in the HOF. How many will be enshrined at once? Is it only one per year? Doc and Straw I would like to see go in together.
  5. Included in that list is the game I was going to post: the 10-run eighth to beat the Braves June 30, 2000. Capped by Piazza's HR. http://www.ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=6153
  6. 95 for me.
  7. from Jon Heyman (who with glasses could be a younger Ben Stein): The Mets and Brewers have discussed a trade that could send pitcher John Maine to Milwaukee for outfielder Corey Hart. It appears Mets GM Omar Minaya wants to wait to acquire more pitching before trading a pitcher. But that deal seems to have a chance. Hart is a solid all-around player, but another questions is whether he'd provide the needed power Mets seek.
  8. K Rod is doing double duty as a catcher this year?

  10. Bumping this up. I got 189 out of 200 before giving up with 4 minutes to go. I may have gotten a couple others had I stuck it out. http://www.sporcle.com/games/bennyboy44/top5hrhitters
  11. Thanks to Leiter for a well-thought out and reasoned answer to my question about Larkin. I do want to make clear that my saying Piazza, Bichette, and Karros had better numbers was only for the year Larkin won the MVP, not for their overall careers (well only Bichette and Karros). And BOO for rejecting the trade!
  12. Was he at the plate for the Mickey Cochrane dropped third strike?
  13. But SI has honored such athletes before, I believe. I will say though (and I consider myself a pretty good sports fan), my first thought when I read Gebrlselassie's name was "Who"? And I suspect that of most of America would have the same reaction (as would the newsroom at SI).
  14. Sorry to interrupt this discussion, but can someone offer an argument why Barry Larkin is a slam-dunk in some people's eyes? Cuz I don't see it. I see a guy who played 9 full seasons, who's 162-game averages are nothing so special. Numbers? I'll sound like a grouchy old sportswriter, but no 100-RBI seasons, and only two 100-runs seasons. No black ink, though he did win one MVP. Then again, Piazza and Karros, and even Bichette had better years (and like Larkin, their teams made the postseason). Help a friend out. Why should I advocate Barry Larkin for Cooperstown?
  15. Faith and Fear in Flushing has just been de-bookmarked by Mrs. Weiss.
  16. I have a hard time believing that the Mets, after not inducting anyone for so long, would actually add Fred to their Hall at the next ceremony. I would think they'd want to avoid the "They're only doing this to honor Fred" sniping that might occur.
  17. I'm unfamiliar with OOTP Baseball. When you say you have "trade offers" is that from who, exactly? Are other teams run by other individuals? Or if you play the '77 Mets...does the computer act as all the other teams?
  18. I'd survive if the Hall of Fame did not tell us about Doris from Rego Park.
