He's on the verge of signing right?

Jeter says you should only wear the uniform on the field, between the lines....it's what winners do but that's not why he says it.

Seawolf gets an A....very good.

North Jersey.com The Mets have reached an agreement with free-agent outfielder Jason Bay, WFAN host Mike Francesa said on his radio show Tuesday afternoon. The New York Post reported that the deal is for four years and $66 million with a vesting option for a fifth year. Bay would have to pass a physical before the deal is complete. With offices closed for the holiday week, an announcement isn't expected until sometime next week.

Heyman The Mets have reached a deal to bring All-Star outfielder Jason Bay to New York pending a physical, SI.com confirmed. The news was first repoprted by Mike Francesa of WFAN, who added that the announcement will come early next wee

I guess he will claim that he scooped them all with the news.

You know he's just making this shit up......

It's got to be something to do with the 'Fan or SNY type news.....

Oh man, Fat Mike lording it over his minions , you know they are holding on the phone even now to tell him how great he no matter the big breaking event..... Wilpons selling the team?

I'm shocked that the 70's was that close..... Most Crushing Ending of the 2000s was always going to be close and so it proved....

Leaving today so I wanted to get this done and dusted , thanks to all who voted and thanks for all the help. The Top 25 are here , looking to get to a Top 10. I think you will agree that it's a fine looking list we have compiled. 1) - Mets clinch NL East - Various Mets parade around with booze and cigars - 09/18/2006 2) - Santana's gem from 2008 that temporarily saved the season (actually put off the inevitable) - 09/27/2008 3) - Marlon Anderson's inside-the-park homer - as remembered on the UMDB.....lets not forget Floyd 1 out in the bottom of the 9th at Shea and the Angels have electric Francisco Rodriguez closing. Anderson, pinch hitting, drives one just shy of the track in right center, with RF Vladimir Guerrero running towards center and CF Steve Finley sliding while running toward RF to make the catch; he can't and it bounces off his leg and rolls into a vacant RF; he gets up and tracks the ball down, all the while Anderson is busting it around the basepaths, and despite a perfect relay throw, Anderson just beats the throw home to tie the game at 2. His face slammed into the catcher; he's there laying in pain, but when he gets up, oh what an ovation. And the capper: Cliff Floyd hit a 3-run walkoff homer in the 10th. - 06/11/2005 4) - - Game 4 of the 2000 NLCS - Mets are down 2 and rally big for the win Perez 2B Alfonzo 2B Piazza 2B Ventura 2B Zeile groundout Agbayani 2B and the Mets are up 4-2. 5) - Hampton 3-hit shutout and the Mets clinch their only pennant of the '00s - NLCS - Game 5 - 10/11/2000 6) - Bobby Jones - 10/08/00-NLDS - Game 4 versus the Giants , Jones one hits the Giants. 7) - Endy Chavez - "The Catch" - Game 7, 2006 NLCS - 10/19/06 8) - Benny Agbayani's game-winning homer in the 2000 NLDS.- 10/07/2000 9) - Piazza in the first baseball game played in New York after September 11. - 09/21/2001 10) - Mets score 10 runs in the 8th to beat Atlanta 11-8 - 06/30/2000 11) - Final game at Shea, 9/28/08 12) - Carlos Delgado, who was batting .235 at the time and sucking so badly that there was serious talk of cutting him and trading for Richie Sexson (?!?), sets a Met record with 9 RBIs to help beat the Yankees 15-6 at MFYSII. He then goes on to have possibly the best three month stretch of any position player in Met history, and had a real shot at being named MVP if the Mets had managed to win the division. - 06/27/2008 13) - Opening day 2005 brought out every emotion in the book. Pedro coughs up three in the first, and his debut is looking for all the world like the recent opening day trainwrecks of Mike Hampton and Tom Glavine --- that the Mets had again gone for the wrong ace at the wrong time to start another joyless chilly opening day in the noughts. And then something crazy happens. Pedro recovers. He more than recovers, he becomes PEDRO MARTINEZ. He strikes out 12 hapless Reds in six innings with dancing changeups that has us (me, anyhow) thinking, "Wait a minute, we really got this guy? There's not going to be a recall or anything?" 14) - Mets 2, Rockies 1. Easley hits tying HR with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th; Endy's walk-off drag bunt wins it. - 04/24/2007 15) - Reyes dances off third and scores a 12th-inning game-tying run on an Armando Benitez balk. Moments later, the Mets win 5-4 on Carlos Delgado's second homerun of the game. - versus Giants - 06/29/2007 16) - Mets win longest game of the decade, 17 innings, 5-3 over the Astros. Marked by Beltran's diving catch onto Tal's Hill in the sixteenth; he drives in winning run in the seventeenth. - 07/07/2007 17 ) - And no discussion of the decade's homers could be complete without acknowledging Mo Vaughn's 505-foot detonation off the Budweiser sign, 6/26/02. 18) - Lastings high-fives the fans following first ML home run (such a contretemps). - 06/04/2006 19 ) - Tom Glavine wins #300 on Sunday Night Baseball against the Cubs in Chicago - Tom goes 6.1 , gives up 6 hits with 2 runs 1 walk and 1 SO - Glavine had an RBI single to help himself. - Amit over the UMDB gets carried away with his memory. Glavine Gets # 300!!! Glavine was awesome as usual and the offense and bullpen backed him up this time. As a Mets fan I am glad I was able to watch the game from beginning to end. No doubt Glavine is a first ballot hall of famer. BRING ON THE BRAVES Heady times indeed - 08/05/2007 20) - Brian Jordan Game # 2 21) - Floyd grand slam...Beltran grand slam...Wright two-run homer...all in the same inning. Mets put up an 11-run sixth, a team record, beat Cubs at Wrigley 13-7. - 7/16/06 22) - The Mike Jacobs rookie rampage crests with a 4-for-5 night, two homers, four RBI. Mets establish residence in Arizona, sweeping four from the Diamondbacks, 18-1. - 8/24/05 23) - Shinjo introduces himself with two orange wristbands and one home run. Mike reintroduces himself with a pair of dingers. The Mets raise their 2000 pennant and bop the Braves at the Home Opener, 9-4. - 4/9/01 24) - Shawn Green's singular moment of triumph, walkoff eleventh-inning blast off Russ Springer to beat the Cards 2-1. - 06/25/2007 25) - What had been El Duque-Joe Blanton 0-0 duel heads to ninth. Ramon Castro, the slowest man alive, doubles. The only way to get him home without a homer, it appears, is to hit a ball where the worst fielder alive can't quite catch up with it...which is what David Wright does when he dunks a double out of the reach of Jack Cust. Mets beat A's 1-0. - 06/23/2007

I like Marchman, used to like him when he was at the Post and the NY Sun...

Well Schoenfield's a wanker isn't he? Still , five years after jeter retires he gets into the HOF easily...I don't like it but he will I think......perhaps he'll even threaten Sever's percent record if that still holds.

The more time that has passed and the more I have read here on this site and elsewhere about Molina the more I don't want him on the Mets.....

Holliday? Bay may be Mets' backup plan By: Rob Bradford Speaking at the ninth annual "21 Days of Clemente" in New York, honoring the late Roberto Clemente, Mets general manager Omar Minaya told NY Sports Day that his team is, indeed, still interested in free agent outfielder Matt Holliday, as well as Jason Bay. "We are pursuing Matt Holliday," Minaya said. "It seems to be easier to make a deal for Jason Bay." It appears the St. Louis Cardinals have made the biggest push to sign Holliday, although according to ESPN.com if that plan falls through the Cards would turn their attention to pitching rather than make a run at Bay. In other Hot Stove news, the Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Yankees may have interest in free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye. Not sure what Omar's quote means right there.

The guy isn't a Mets player and I'm sick of him already.

Hetman says he passed the stringent workup by the Mets doctors . 1.25 million with bonuses that total $3.125 million

Nice work.....

Good list Ashie..... the Rambow movie is the "Son of Rambow"?

Setup man to Frankie?.......

I think he's choking your turkey with that Soupcan The Mets and right-hander Kelvim Escobar have agreed to a one-year, major-league contract, a person familiar with the situation confirmed. Escobar must pass a physical for the deal to become official. Escobar, 33, has pitched just five major-league innings in the last two seasons, as he dealt with a major right shoulder injury. That the Mets are willing to guarantee money and a roster spot to Escobar reflects the hopes they have that Escobar can help set up for closer Francisco Rodriguez. For the bulk of his career, Escobar has been regarded as having an electric arm. He has both started and relieved for Toronto and the Angels, with whom he spent the past six seasons. he has a 101-90 record with a 4.15 ERA, with 1,310 strikeouts and 611 walks in 1,507 innings pitched. He missed all of 2008 while recovering from shoulder surgery, and this past season, he made a start June 6, lasting five innings, and then never returned.

Not sure what you mean there Grim....but I am thinking despite my best efforts there are more than a few duplicates.

Thanks....not sure what to do about that, it's turning into a mess....
