Having four different uniforms sucks, when I think of the Dodgers I see two unis , home and away. This is what the Mets should have.

What is there to translate? , the article seems to imply that Sterling Equities may have in fact made $50 million overall.

If we could only contact that "unnamed scout" he'd tell us how it works.

Jeez , I wish we had this problem to bitch about.

And with this training staff a player needs to have that kind of education.

Carter has played first base quite a bit in the minors 340 games which is the most of any position he has played.. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=carter003wil

An inauspicious start to Lora and Carter's Met careers I'd say.....

We have a few young prospects now for first-base, that's promising

Just went to newsday.com and was greeted with this..... Just a usual postseason game for Jeter: perfect

Couldn't TBS have found someone other that Dick Stockton to call games....there must be dozens of pbp guys out there that would be better.

5-0 tot he Phillies in the 6th.....

Rockies with two hits in the first , nothign to show for it but a promising start.....they get this game who knows.

He looked understandably overmatched when here, get healthy , have a good Spring training and see you well into the summer next season.

This thread is turing into gold.....the help Piazza is talking about is him fronting the money for a legal fight , among other things?

Ex-Mets catcher Mike Piazza says Alcor mistreatment of Ted Williams is 'crazy' Five years after Mike Piazza reached out to Ted Williams' oldest daughter, Bobby-Jo Ferrell, offering to help Ferrell and her husband Mark with their legal fight over the remains of the Hall of Fame Red Sox, the former Mets catcher is still stunned by how Williams' remains are being treated. "It's crazy. Just bizarre," Piazza said Tuesday night, referring to the newly released book, "Frozen," written by former Alcor COO Larry Johnson. The Daily News first reported on the book's revelations, including the decapitation and abuse of Williams' head. "I just cannot believe the greatest hitter of all time, that his head is in a frozen cryogenic state." Ferrell was in a contentious battle with Arizona-based Alcor Life Extension Foundation in 2004. The Splendid Splinter's remains were sent to Alcor following his death in 2002. Ferrell's half-sister Claudia and now deceased half-brother John Henry Williams claimed that baseball's last .400 hitter wanted his remains suspended in liquid nitrogen for future scientific study. Piazza had to quietly back out of the matter when an attorney for Williams' estate outlined the legal obstacles involved. Piazza said Tuesday night that he had not been in touch with Ferrell recently, but would be interested in lending his support if she and her husband resurrected their legal fight. Ferrell's attorney John Heer told The News that Ferrell had given up due to a lack of funding. "Since there was all this legalese involved, I backed out," said Piazza, who was at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel for the annual "Great Sports Legends Dinner" which benefits the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis. "If she's going to resurrect (the fight), I definitely would like to talk to her about that. I just don't know why this guy hasn't been given a proper burial." Piazza said he had been following the recent reports about "Frozen." On Monday, a Manhattan State Supreme Court judge rejected a bid by Alcor to halt the release of the book. Piazza was one of many All-Stars who gathered around Williams, then 80, while the Red Sox legend sat in a golf cart at Fenway Park during the 1999 All-Star Game festivities. there's a great picture of Piazza, Seaver , Staub with Williams on "Ted Willims Night" June 11 1999 in the online edition of the Snooze..that's the All-Star Game I assume? http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/2009/10/06/2009-10-06_piazza_shocked_by_ted_head_scandal.html

Murphy at times acted like his head was frozen....so in that respect he's a bit like Ted.

I'm sure I am wrong but I just don't think Murphy has good baseball instincts , still though I hate to judge him on this season with the way things played out.

I can hope I suppose......

His lack of walks was certainly a talking point at this board...Dickshot was all over it just to name one person. That aspect of his game was just one of the problems that was apparent in his game over the season though.

Hidalgo gave us that great week of home runs , a highlight for sure that season....
