  3. EY/Harper collision. Yikes! I'm not a Bryce fan, but I hope he's OK.
  4. In navigating from living room to office, I'm finding my MLB.TV feed is a millisecond ahead of the SNY feed on my DirecTV. I wouldn't have guessed that to be the case.
  5. What can brown do for you? More than Curty Pants, evidently.
  6. I'll take the Brewers...unless anyone else wants them.
  7. Joel Sherman in the Post: Wright told Harvey when he was rehabbing the fractured bone in his lower back and had to be with the team because the rehab doctor was in New York, he made sure he arrived super-early to make sure he did not take away doctor/trainer time from active players. He advised Harvey do the same, and also to mimic what he has done in March -- attend the pitchers� meetings and be an active cheerleader and information dispenser in the dugout. The message is simple: You have to be a supporting actor at Citi, not a star of the City; a dispenser of high fives, not a staple of Page Six. �It�s been my philosophy that I am an employee, not the employer,� Wright said. �The advice I gave him was to find common ground with the Mets. To definitely do what is best for him, but also not to lose sight that he is the employee, not the employer.� Bravo, Captain!
  8. I like Russell's work from the 90s (really like Three Kings), but beginning with I Heart Huckabees, I just haven't found his movies entertaining. This one was not an exception to that. I thought Amy Adams did well and that Bale borrowed heavily from DeNiro. Movies with "hustle" in the title should be exciting, right? Honestly, I barely made it through and at the end didn't really care who was hustling who anymore.
  9. Per Rubin (for Edgy @ work): Frank Viola is scheduled to undergo open-heart surgery next Wednesday Ron Romanick is expected to replace Viola as the pitching coach for the Pacific Coast League team.
  10. THis could go in one of several threads, but... Sources: Frank Viola has heart issue
  11. Forgot about those Dodger games. Thanks!
  12. This must be the standings of our rosters now based on last year's stats? I knew this was going to be a rebuilding year, but this makes me feel less positive about my draft. Yikes!
  13. Tigers over the Dodgers. There's another team in NY?
  14. 81-81 3rd No Vying for their first .500+ season in years will give us "meaningful" games in September...and hope for 2015.

  16. That's becoming a bigger and bigger point to me.

  18. Right. Looks like others are now saying the 20th is a no-go on the Ottoneu board. Ceetar - I'm open all week, so it's all good for me. Did we ever hear what ABNS was planning to do?
  19. There seems to be some messages on the Ottoneu board from some non-CPFers who are looking to move the draft date from the 19th to the 20th. I'm OK with this, but don't know how it effects other folks.
  20. Francisco Rodriguez injures foot on cactus
  21. It's Granderson. It's been a long while since the Mets consistently had a player in the lineup who opposing pitchers consistently feared other than Wright. If Grandy can be that guy all year, then there is hope for the offense. If not, then the Mets offense is going to look pretty similar to how it has the past 5 years and the team will struggle to win more than they lose.

  23. Intrigued by McConaughey's Oscar win and impressed with his work on True Detective this season, I rented Dallas Buyers Club today. I was not disappoingted by his performance or that of fellow Oscar winner Jared Leto. The movie was good but not great. My biggest concern was how many current $100 bills I seemed to see for a movie taking place in the 80s. I gave it 4 stars.
  24. metirish wrote: I wonder if the 90 win nonsense has TC thinking way outside his comfort zone? Not for nothing, but I hope Terry isn't getting too comfortable looking back at 3 losing seasons in a row. 90 wins might be nonsense, but I think Terry needs to find a way to get 80+ out of this squad. Not that this idea is the best one...but with his extension, my expectations for him have gone up. I'm glad he is at least thinking outside of the box a bit.
  25. Yeah, I messed the quote up on the B-ball area. My apologies. This were the Munster reference came from:
