I figured it was only a matter of time before that comment.

For some reason I like the trim on the black and white better than the grey.

Is this one an either/or? Looks like one is for home and one is away. Gross either way.

If Bingo wore them, or Brooklyn, I'd find it to be quite handsome. The problem is what it is not. It is not a Met uniform. And it doesn't belong on an old metly team. It would look like something less than a playful corruption and something more like an outright abomination, on a minor-league affiliate. Or if a fan wore the left one? Cool. The solid blue is wrong. The insignia, to me, should always be orange. I guess they put it in blue for contrast here, but orange has shown up OK on a white background on the Giants' uniforms, hasn't it? metirish May 18 2009 09:28 AM On buckets FB I said I would take A over any of them , again if I was offered one for free. holychicken May 18 2009 09:37 AM I look at one and decide to choose the other one. . .and then I look at the other and decide to choose the first.

I'm not sure why they need to mess with stuff.

6-4 (or better) would be great. 5-5 would be perfectly acceptable. 4-6 would be realistic. Anything less would prove that this team really hasn't turned a corner and there is nothing to really be excited about this year.

="metirish":5pdfa33e]SNY ran one of their in-game pools the other night asking which NL Division leader had the best chance of winning their division. 1 - Phillies 2 Cardinals 3 - Dodgers much laughing was had in the booth , Dodgers at the time were five games up , now 6.5 games up. That division just got more interesting.[/quote:5pdfa33e] I still think it's the Dodgers. Manny would be back before the All-Star break (just in time to face the Mets at Citi) and I don't see any of those other teams stepping up in the West.

Centerfield May 07 2009 11:07 AM Yup. The Dodgers too. How do you spend that amount of money and not monitor all mediations he is taking? After JC Romero, no club has any excuse. Centerfield May 07 2009 11:14 AM On re-read, looks like Edgy already said what I said. I just want to make it clear to Mr. McCourt (and Mr. Wilpon and every other owner) that I am willing to follow around Manny (or some other superstar) and make sure everything he takes isn't on the list. Call within the next twenty minutes (because you know I can't do this all day) and I'll do it for a just a few million a year. OlerudOwned May 07 2009 11:15 AM Hahahaha.

HCG is a women's fertility drug typically used by steroid users to restart their body's natural testosterone production as they come off a steroid cycle. It is similar to Clomid, the drug Bonds, Giambi and others used as clients of BALCO.

That's settled: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/05/06/2009-05-06_alomar_settles_suit_with_former_gal_pal.html Ex-Met Roberto Alomar settles suit with former gal pal in AIDS lawsuit BY John Marzulli DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Wednesday, May 6th 2009, 4:00 AM The ex-girlfriend of Roberto Alomar has settled her lawsuit that accused the former Mets' second baseman of being stricken with full-blown AIDS and having unprotected sex with her, according to court records. No terms of the settlement was disclosed. Ilya Dall, 31, had alleged that Alomar had been in declining health for years, but insisted he was disease-free before testing positive for AIDS in February 2006, according to the suit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court. She sought $15 million in damages. The couple had been dating since 2002 and broke up last October. Dall claimed in the suit that Alomar had told her he was suffering from erectile dysfunction and had been "raped by two Mexican men" when he was 17. Asked if she regretted the public disclosure of intimate details of Alomar's health, Dall told the Daily News: "I'm sorry, but I have no comment." Alomar's lawyer would not comment on whether the baseball legend had AIDS. "He's healthy and he looks great," said Charles Bach. "The matter is over. The plaintiff [Dall] has withdrawn her complaint." As part of the settlement, Dall agreed not to file any future lawsuit against Alomar. Dall's suit originally filed in Queens Supreme Court in January, was transferred to federal court at Alomar's request because they live in different states - he in Florida and Dall in Whitestone, Queens. Dall's lawyer, Robert Sullivan, also declined to comment on the settlement. jmarzulli@nydailynews.com

Hernandez is 1-12 with a 6.50 ERA in his past 18 starts against the Braves since May 20, 2001. Against everyone else in that span, he�s 100-85 with a 4.27 ERA. I dislike that stat.

Would it be over-broad to amend my statement to: This reads to me like Santana should go nine innings every start if he's winning by one run.

7 runners left in scoring position with 2 out through 8. Cheese and rice.

TATIS 3-3! Johan likely done with 101 pitches. Still in line for the win right now.

Wright's April of 2007 was arguably as bad (if not worse) than his April of 2009 has been and he went on to finish 4th in MVP voting in 2007.

That's 4 runners left in scoring position with 2 out through 4 innings.

From the bottom of the order, no less.
