  1. What is it about Diane Lane that gets her cast all the time as a cheating wife?
  2. You know, on that island, swimming is a way of life...
  3. Good move. I would rather he took a month off than trying to pitch hurt. It's more important to have him strong down the stretch and into October.

  5. ="ScarletKnight41"]="ScarletKnight41"]My book just came. Now I understand my friend's confusion when she told me about the story - Wolfe edited the story, and did so badly. In the book, it says that I'm married to Kase![url=http://www.kcmets.com/Feature111201.html]Here's the Full Story[/url].Congratulations! Both on getting printed and on your unexpected nuptials!

  7. By the way, as disappointing as Superman III and Superman IV were, so much so that this film is a sequel that pretends that they didn't happen, the opening scene of Superman III is wonderful, and it may be the last excellent thing that Richard Lester ever did. Richard Lester (second "by the way" here): Still Alive. This is, perhaps, the most encouraging thing I have heard about this movie. On top of making this a better movie, by ignoring Supermen III and IV, has Superman Returns just opened the door to ignoring any botched sequels? Can we pick up the Batman Series pretending only Batman Begins and the Tim Burton movies exist? Can someone re-make the Prequel Trilogy keeping none of the elements of the last three movies (except maybe the double-ended lightsaber)? Can someone make "Karate Kid 2 (the last one didn't count)"?
  8. ="Hillbilly"]What was up with the stories about his calf? Post sucking excuses? Soler: I sucked because my calf hurts. Mets: Tell it to the doctors in Norfolk.
  9. Nice to see the X-Man have a nice game.
  10. We were lucky in this game. They failed to turn 3 double plays, resulting in 3 runs that would not have otherwise scored. A collision that looked bad results in Cliffy being day-to-day with a headache. Plus we get the benefit of a close call from, of all people, Angel Hernandez. I guess the Endy play makes up for the Braves game where LoDuca spiked the ball. What is with Aaron Heilman? Did he lose his arm slot again? It's bad when you see him trotting in and automatically think to yourself "God, I hope he doesn't walk the first batter again." I guess, to his credit, he didn't.
  11. I could have sworn there was a thread about this. Was it on the old board? Just started it over the holiday weekend.
  12. I can't believe how much Soler was different than the scouting reports we read about him over the last few years. I remember reading that he had a fastball in the low 90's, a sharp splitter, and a good curve. I saw none of the splitter, a fastball that topped out at 87, 88...and a curve that couldn't be thrown for a strike. I spent most of his starts imploring him to throw strikes, and then immediately regretting it when I saw what batters did to his stuff when it was over the plate. I wish it were one of those things that he could go down and "get himself straight" in Norfolk. But unless getting himself straight means learning a slider or cutter, I don't see Soler being much more than what we saw.
  13. "Wow, 19 runs, that sure is a lot"

  15. Pedro feeling "better". http://www.nypost.com/sports/mets/pedros_feeling_better_mets_fred_kerber.htm I don't see how this is much of a decision. 10.5 game lead...shut him down until after the ASB. Give that toe a rest while the hip heals.

    STOINS
  17. According to IMDB, her name is Margaret Whitton. I think she also played the hot boss in The Secret of My Success.
  18. New injuries in need of updates: Carlos Delgado Steve Trachsel Billy Wagner Any news would be appreciated.
  19. Some people say that using two hands is overrated...and with the big gloves, they may have a point...but one thing it does is force you to get centered underneath the ball. You would think after last night Lastings would take every precaution not to repeat his mistake. Even the one he grabbed tonight was one-handed. Say what you want about his attitude (I personally find him hard to like) but his shaky fielding and his lack of plate discipline are the bigger issues.
  20. I don't see why they would be fools. Pedro is no longer on the Red Sox...and though he did a lot for their franchise, he chose to leave for greener pastures. If it were up to me, I wouldn't boo Pedro...much like I will embrace Piazza (remember, he was offered a "deal" too) when he returns. But if someone chooses to boo a player on another team, I don't see how that makes them foolish.
  21. Better question would be whether Boggs would be there.
  22. I love watching the lead increase without having to play.
  23. One of the "little things" he did yesterday was have 7 RBI.
