  1. Sounds like a great event....
  2. From Heyman, Mets will hire Debus(bullpen) , Mookie(first) to join Hudgens, Oberkfell, Wharton and Hale.
  3. His pal C.C. with him, fat fucker.
  4. The vibe online seems to be that Lee will not be going to the yankees, and turns out that the mystery team with the seven year offer was Boston.

This , man I was watching and wondering if all of that was left on the cutting room floor.....I thought it was OK, nothing special and felt like others it reminded me of The Wrestler but not nearly as good IMO.
  6. Clemens and Pettitte's work ethic was so good they felt hard work alone wasn't enough.
  7. Alderson on his conference call with area bloggers(including our own Greg, our own?,c an I even call you that? Alderson was satisfied there was enough insight among his lieutenants J.P. Ricciardi and Paul DePodesta, new scout Roy Smith and those who were around before they all showed up to make those calls not terribly vexing. The �lack of organizational knowledge,� however, may have shown up in �preparing for the Rule 5 draft,� in which the Mets lost pitching prospect Elvin Ramirez to the Nationals..
  8. Love it... I once had to transcribe a lengthy interview with a top executive in the industry I covered. He concluded just about every answer to just about every question with a sentence that began, �At the end of the day�� The deeper into the tape I got, the more he said it. Boy, did I wish that day would end as soon as possible. Really great stuff , glad you got the opportunity Greg. His telling you guys that the coaching staff is all set was a first official yes on that?
  9. Sharon is an icon.
  10. looks like soupcan to me, sorry Ed.
  11. Well isn't that something?
  12. Out of the three candidates I was most intrigued by this one.
  13. Good article Greg , gotta tell you though I have a hard time viewing him as iconic , maybe it's that I just didn't appreciate him enough ....
  14. Great work as always Grim , would it be feasible to have information pop up as you move the cursor over the points in the charts?
  15. Frayed Knot wrote: The one good thing about Crawford going to the Sox is that he was supposedly the back-up plan for the Yanx if they fail to land Lee. The idea is that they'd sign Crawford and then package Brett Gardner up with C/DH Jesus Montero or maybe one of their other minor league catchers and go trolling for pitchers through the trade route: Grienke, Garza, etc. Of course now they are trying to sell the idea that " they were never really in for him anyway"....
  16. seawolf17 wrote: Edgy DC wrote: I mean, we know David Wright is worth 15-20% more than Reyes... keep in mind that the Reyes precedent is going to inform the Wright contract. Well, we don't "know" anything. I say identical five year, $110 million contracts for each of them. Pretty white boy gets more.....
  17. Ceetar wrote: How's C.C.'s knee? Imagine he gets off to a slow start AND they don't get Lee? The "comeback"
  18. Edgy DC wrote: My private (now public) hope is that Lee slips away and somebody quotes Cashman as saying something along the lines of any extra money he had to offer Lee went to Jeter. That would be delicious....the other option is the price keeps going up....Newsday 7 years The total package could be in excess of the seven-year, $161-million deal CC Sabathia received from the Yankees two years ago.
  19. I have always pronounced his name Boof Bosner and not Bonser, same shit ERA either name though.
  20. Edgy DC wrote: Markets have a wy of correcting themselves if you're not the first one in and you don't panic. Or totally falling asunder . No way Alderson goes beyond five years on any player, at least that's what I think form listening to him.
  21. What a terrible person Jim Leyritz is.
  22. Ceetar wrote: So what's the likely thinking here with the Ramirez guy? He just doesn't really have what it takes, in the Mets eyes? They'd rather take a gamble on other guys Rule 5's? Or they're going to sign enough guys to fill those 40 man slots? I mean having a hard thrower hanging around Buffalo to possibly help out in an inffective or injured pen doesn't sound like a bad guy to protect. This from a Rubin tweet Rubin and others reporting that the mets "may very well lose RHP Elvin Ramirez in Rule 5 draft. No control , but hitting 97 mph in DR with scouts watching". You'd like to keep a guy like that right?, how does this work again, the Mets expose X amount of players that can be taken by other teams?
  23. Another thought might be that the shenanigans with AG has allowed them to give Crawford this deal and AG will get a similar one next season. Crawford doesn't know it yet but his off seasons will now be spent playing for Liverpool.
  24. So now a corner OF (even though a very good one) who never hit 20 HRs and sports a mediocre OBA (.337 career - peaked at .354) is now hauling in $20mil+/yr ? Nice player - and at least he's at a good age for the signing* - but geez!! * although so was Beltran WOW, without looking I would have thought Crawford had some monster type years...... http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/crawfca02.shtml fucks sake like....nice player but not that nice
  25. O's statement �Luke Scott�s comments do not reflect the opinion of the Baltimore Orioles organization. The fact is that Barack Obama is our President, duly elected by the people of the United States. End of story.�
