Here's another one: Among one-year only Mets, which player holds the single season Mets record for games started at one outfield position?

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Henderson-Mazzilli-Maddox: 1978 That outfield just missed the top 10, ranking #11 on this all time list -- a lot closer to the top than to the bottom.

Who is the only player to lead the Mets in games started at two different outfield positions in the same season? I'll post the answer to this question this afternoon. Meanwhile, here's another one: The 1969 starting regular alignment outfield of Cleon Jones, Tommie Agee and Ron Swoboda combined to start 326 games in the outfield that season at their main or primary outfield positions - (Jones-119,LF, Agee-137,CF, Swoboda-70,RF). Which Mets outfield combined to start the most games at their main or primary outfield positions in a single season? Give me the three outfielders and the season. bump

I'm sorry. We don't have a winner, yet. But those were good guesses.

I've pretty much loathed everything he's done in this century including the ones that some people liked (those two London movies, VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA). Truly hated that stupid Rome movie. I'm gonna go so far as to say that I liked it better than anything since, I dunno, SWEET AND LOWDOWN. Part of it is that I like to watch both Cate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins and although it was set in San Francisco it seemed less like a travelogue than his recent films. Plus he wasn't acting in it which is a huge plus. Not a great movie, but not the pile of dogshit that Vic implies. He has this habit of churning out movies every once in a while about wealthy, over-educated, pretentious new yorkers who are absolutely loathsome, and when he makes a comedy out of it, or a light romance in which the characters are redeemed by love (to some extent), he can sort of get away with it. Sort of. But when he makes it a tragedy, unrelieved by any humor at all (or even song and dance numbers, in the case of EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU), with a story of an awful person causing awful things to happen to herself and everyone around her, why the fuck should any human being on the planet care about that? Yes, i love Cate Blanchett too, and she is acting up a storm ("ACTING! THANK YOU!), but to what purpose? To drive me out of the theater? well, it worked. Harry Lime was a much bigger scumbag than the Cate Blanchett character. More charming, too, but also, more loathsome.

Baseball card collectors of a certain age might think that I once played for the NY Mets. I didn't. Who am I?

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I wasn't really suggesting strict rotations, just roles. In all honesty I think they will prolly go E Young - C Young - Grandy to begin, hope Lagares hits in AAA, then bring him up in CF and move CYoung to left. I couldn't answer the OF question as it was worded, because I don't know what a regular alignment by April 1 means. The Mets may not have a regular OF by April 1. In fact, I'd say they likely won't. I'd guess that they'll work four, maybe five guys into the rotation until things hopefully settle in place. Unless they don't settle. Or at least, don't settle into an OF where three guys get most of the starts. I can't answer the other questions -- from apathy. I don't know if I care enough to even guess at this. Davis or Duda? I don't care. I assume that whoever of the two is playing better is the one that'll play. What more can I ask for? Whoever gets to play is who I'll watch. That's my answer to all the positions. I'm also sick up to here with all this Stephen Drew speculation, if anyone wants to know. You'd think the Mets were on the verge of signing Bryce Harper and Mike Trout. Every single day. More posts. Are the Mets gonna get Drew? Is he coming? Is he not coming? Is he coming? How good is Drew? How good will he be tomorrow? Is he coming? Can the Mets afford him?

Even after the fence was repaired, you could notice slight irregularities at the top of the fence that didn't exist before the bombing. the bombing....lol... They don't call 'em The Bronx Bombers fer nuthin'.
