  1. I want to reiterate for David Wright that he is not in any way canvassing for changes , he's not that type of guy.
  2. Totally of the subject here but talk of espn reminds me, last night while watching a Disney(not the actual Disney channel) channel with my son an espn anchor broke in to the programming to present the sports clips of the week, a great one handed catch in a Marshall game was # 1. I know they are the same company but come the fuck on espn.
  3. He'll be resigned , Alderson made some interesting comments the other night about how many innings the starters gave the club this year, he was happy with that but remarked that they need to work on getting the quality to go along with the quantity.
  4. Yes of course, wasn't implying that it was a sure thing. I mean , the Mets could win the WS next year, just don't bet on it.
  5. From 2005 through 2010 Wright played no fewer than 154 in a season and no more than 160, in those six seasons he hit 176 and better four times , he dipped to 164 in 2009 but played in only 144 games.His most hits in a season came in 2007 with 196 hits in 160 games. Wright can do it. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wrighda03.shtml
  6. Alserson in the booth , October is "Jose month", thinks about him all the time....
  7. Alderson in the booth, Cohen with the sneaky fastball like tough questions, on Citi Field dimensions , decision should come in October and changes "will not be subtle" .
  8. What ever happened ti Ike Davis?

  10. That's fecked up that......is Keith making this trip?, usually some reminiscing when he does.
  11. And the thing about that illustration is that at first glance it looks like it would be a side arm hurler.

If you have a guy who's just good enough to make it to the bigs and consistently fail once he gets there, how do you photograph him? Do you show him in action --- an action that any astute observer will know was likely just another in a string of failures? Or do you get a posed shot --- the figure shown paused on the mound or in the batters box, assuming a stance that, if you're paying any attention at all, you know has never intimidated anybody? This photographer has found a third way --- capturing the real narrative of the fringe player, watching from the (literal) fringes, searching for a clue to the edge that's going to get him over the hump as a big-leaguer, pricking his elven hears hoping to pick up a piece of the magic formula as Dave Kingman and Mike Schmidt guffaw around the batting cage. Your photo link, I'm sorry to say, isn't working for me. loving this thread.... maybe this image link works for you
  13. 10. Despite all these juvenile traits, he nonetheless looks like a focused student of the game, trying to pick up tips as he carefully watches a batting practice that you know the big kids only begrudgingly let him participate in after they were all done. Good photo. be that as it may in his five year career he hit 2HR and had 26RBI. in 1978 he was traded to the Red Sox for this guy 1. WTF is in his pants? 2. Seriously, he's got a boner 3. He has that look on his face that says I hope the photographer doesn't notice my hard on 4. Is that awful hooped stripe on the pants or top? 5. Angels stadium? 6. What's with the uni? 7. 8. 9. 10.
  14. I like it , makes this series in St.Louis a bit more appetizing.
  15. Let's keep it practical , we're the Mets, we don't do no hitters.
  16. I want to see the young ones finish strong and go to Spring Training with good vibes.
  17. I'm sure he was thrilled to have his face blown out by the flash.
  18. Were a lot of card pictures taken in old Shea?, seems like it.
  19. 1. The Look 2. The Glasses 3. The Bottom look 4. The composition of the image with the overhanging stand 5. The mustache 6. The Dimple 7. The Lens Glare 8. The Long Finger 9. The Glove hold 10 ?????
  20. 7. There's a Johnny Lunchbucket quality to the whole thing: He's got his safety helmet on and tool of the trade close by Great stuff, even before I got to # 7 I imagined Larry could be heading to the building site for a days labour.
  21. Roric meaning and name origin Roric \r(o)- ric\ as a boy's name is a variant of Roderick (Old German), and the meaning of Roric is "famous power".
  22. If the Braves had moved the fences in that was a goner..idiots
  23. Gary with some faint praise of Parnell's fastball , "it's not an electric fastball even though it's 100mph", " not intimidating", not going over the plate now either.
  24. Best AB of the year for Paulino, he didn't move his bar of his shoulder , tied game, Vinters can't throw a strike.
  25. It seems like a lifetime ago
