Soto, I've got a feeling ... KC hogged up my IGT. I think it's like the 200th IGT he started this season. -
IGT 9/4/2021 (N): NYM@WAS — More Nonsense Soon

The Nimmo loss is the big blow. Worse than this game loss. Might be the final nail. -
IGT 9/3/2021: NYM@WAS — Don’t Pitch to Soto
batmagadanleadoff replied to G-Fafif's topic in Archived Game Threads
Too bad the Mets cant get a designated runner for Villar because his base outs killed the Mets today. Killed the Mets. Killed. The. Mets. -
I went to that game. Not with the CPF crowd as that was years before I joined this furshlugginer forum and regrettably, got addicted. I have many memories of that game -- the strongest being those tiny American flags on a toothpick like piece of small wood about three inches long handed out before the game to entering fans. As soon as I got mine, I wanted to throw it out in the garbage, which I eventually did, but not without careful planning and looking around for the coast to be clear because the rah-rah patriotism crap at that game was higher than I'd ever seen before (or after) and I was certain that if one of those knuckleheads saw me throwing out my flag, some controversy would ensue.

I miss this guy. One year ago today. https://metsfantasycards.blogspot.com/?m=0https://metsfantasycards.blogspot.com/?m=0 His old site's still up.

From The Athletic's scathing article on the Mers culture: Callaway, Porter, Scott – that's three strikes for Alderson, who, lest anyone forget, also tried hard to sign free-agent pitcher Trevor Bauer, who instead went to the Dodgers and is under investigation for allegations of sexual assault in California. What exactly is the Mets' definition of due diligence when pursuing players and executives? Seeing whether they can spell their names correctly?

=kcmets post_id=76240 time=1630550350 user_id=53] Almost sounds like batmags knew he fell asleep at a red light before reported.

Darryl Strawberry

Maybe he wasnt dozing it off. Maybe he fell asleep at a red light. With the motor running. The story did not say it was a RED light... That's why I wrote "Maybe". It didn't say that Scott's car was parked on the side of the road or street either.
-
If Cohen's party ended at 9PM and Scott was arrested at 4AM, Scott made some lengthy pit stops in between.

That made me think back to the days of Jesse Gonder and Choo Choo Coleman behind the dish, but couldn't recall if it happened back then. It couldn't have happened back then because if it did, then the '71 Pirates would not have been the first team to pull that off.

We tried this once a few years ago and came up very short.

Robertson, Hebner and Alley are the right answers. Mazeroski was a part-timer by 1971. Dave Cash was the Pirate regular second baseman in '71. But Stennet, the rookie, led off for the Pirates 50 years ago today.

Quiz Time: Name the three white most often played 1971 Pirates that had to be benched on that day to enable that historic Pirates starting lineup to happen. One guess per post. No two-in-a-rowing.

IGT 8/31/2021 (N): MIA@NYM — Let’s Sweep*
batmagadanleadoff replied to G-Fafif's topic in Archived Game Threads
=G-Fafif post_id=76085 time=1630445077 user_id=55] It's not a doubleheader, but the Mets can take two games on this date, albeit one of the dates being April 11. Trevor Williams for the Mets. (Apologies to batmags, as this is technically his IGT streak in progress.) -
Edgy MD wrote: I agree with that. He's kind of painting some abstractions on his canvass and expecting the viewer to give him the benefit of the doubt and is surprised that they're interpreting the abstractions in such a negative way. I wouldn't even give Baez that much credit. I think it's nothing more than nonsense, but Baez doesn't know that and truly believes he's making an intelligent remark. To your point, though, athletes are accustomed to journalists sanitizing their quotes, cleaning up the bad grammar and contriving to ascribe profound insights to absolute nonsense like what Baez spouted above.

Javy Baez quoted in Tbe Athletic:

Here's a baseball phrase I'm definitely aware that's gone missing because I miss it : balls hit in the gap between two outfielders used to be referred to as going "up the alley".

You could make the case for Berenguer, with his legendary, though uncontrollable triple digit fast-ball that he had in his youth.

Can't think of any other rookie card where [CROSSOUT]both [/CROSSOUT] ALL players on the card have had their uniform numbers retired. Can youse? [FIMG=444]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1yVUpt8QML._AC_SL1500_.jpg[/FIMG]

Get well, Howie. And do those quizzes from home. I wonder if he was holding out, hanging on, so he could host the Koosman uniform retirement ceremonies?

UL Washington played in parts of eleven seasons, and Mickey Klutts batted 1.000 in 1978. So there's that. I collected that '78 set in real time. I loved that set. I had stopped collecting for a few years, losing interest in baseball cards and believing that I had outgrown the hobby. But I fell in love with that '78 set: I loved the simple card design, the photography - and the card stock was as thick as it ever was among cards that were produced while I was a fan. I was sucked back in. I collected that set the old school way - by buying them in packs at my local candy stores and other stores that sold baseball cards. And I never completed that set. I fell one card short. The one card I never pulled was the card you just displayed , above - the rookie card with the two future Hall-of-Famers.
