How violent is this movie? My special lady friend vetoed renting this over the past weekend claiming that it would be too violent. Is this something I'm going to have to watch without her?

"...fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me � You can't get fooled again."

I'm disappointed, annoyed and not quite angry. Still...I can't wait for opening day.

Mother of pearl! Nevermind...I'd avi, but put too much work in without reading the directions.

That's alot of stats! I'm guessing most of the answers consist of Wright, Reyes, Piazza, Leiter, Glavine, Trachsel, Feliciano and Benitez. I had Delgado for GIDP and HBP, Castillo for Sac Bunt (couldn't think of anyone else) and Pelfrey for balks. It's a shame that I couldn't choose Pedro or Beltran for any of these...but I just couldn't.

John Kruk on Sportcenter last night stated he never used steroids. If that weren't laughable enough, he went on to imply that if everyone was clean when he played he would have been one of the best players of his day.

I showed up to a game in Milwaukee in June of 2009 and saw the lineups on a TV in the concourse. It said "Reyes" was leading off. I thought for a brief second that Jose had been magically cured and was now back in the starting lineup. Then I remembered that Argenis was on the team.

Argenis Reyes signs with the Dodgers http://hotstove.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/01/dodgers_sign_dohmann_green_rey.html

God he's good. My computer screen is never safe.

It's about f'n time.

I'm kind of resigned to the fact that the 2010 Mets 1Bman will most likely be well below league average no matter what. Either Murphy or Delgado is fine by me. I'm not Murph's biggest fan, but I also don't think he has reached his potential. If we're looking at free agents, I would much rather see a splash made in the rotation than at 1B.

I'm not opposed to Dawson, but c'mon.

The fences are fine.

I like Meche as well, but I went with Garland as he is cheap and consistent. In a perfect world Garland would be a great backup for Sheets. But I can't find myself relying on Sheets for that kind of money with his injury record.

Lackey, Wolf and Marquis are out. The above are pitchers the Mets have been rumored to be interested in. Which one is the one you would most like to add to the rotation? Take the following into consideration and remember that these figures are estimates and rumors: Free Agents: Ben Sheets 1yr/$12M (+$5M in incentives and possible vesting option for 2011) Joel Pinero 4yrs/$50M Jon Garland 2yrs/$16M? Chien-Ming Wang cheap Trades: Carlos Zambrano will most likely cost at least John Maine, Luis Castillo and a prospect which will cause the Mets to pay for another 2Bman and pay Zambrano the following: 2010:$17.875M, 2011:$17.875M, 2012:$18M, 2013:$19.25M vesting player option (1 or 2 in CYA voting in 2011 OR top 4 in CYA voting in 2012 and is "healthy") Aaron Harang will earn the following: 2010:$12.5M, 2011:$12.75M ($2M buyout) and will cost propects and possibly John Maine Bronson Arroyo will earn the following: 2010:$11M, 2011:$11M club option ($2M buyout) and will cost propects and possibly John Maine Gil Meche will earn the following: 2010:$12M, 2011:$12M and from reports would cost Castillo and propects, again meaning we would need to pay for a new 2Bman. We may also need to take on a "bad" contract in order to work this deal such as Kyle Farnsworth (2010:$4.5M, 2011:$5.25M club option ($0.5M buyout)) or Juan Cruz (2010:$3.25M, 2011:$4M club option ($0.5M buyout)) The trades would be fluid, meaning it is hard to gauge the other clubs interest in trading these pitchers or what their asking price may be. If you have other pitchers you would be interested in, please list them including what it night take to get them.

Minaya comes out of this looking good.

I've only seen 18 of these movies: ADVENTURELAND ANGELS & DEMONS BRUNO EXTRACT FRIDAY THE 13TH THE HANGOVER I LOVE YOU, MAN THE INFORMANT! INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS OBSERVE AND REPORT PAPER HEART PAUL BLART MALL COP STAR TREK SUNSHINE CLEANING XMEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE YEAR ONE UP (ani) ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL (documentary) Bruno, The Informant!, Inglorious Basterds, Up and Anvil! were the only ones I didn't think were pretty crappy.

I believe the issue of whether the lineup is good enough is dependant on what the pitching rotation is.

So what would it take? Castillo, Maine and a prospect? Who plays second base (!Cora?!?!)? Big Z has been consistent. I wouldn't be unhappy with a trade like this. Even though he may be high priced, it's not my money and he is a bonafide #2.
