I would go Welch - 1 Clemens - 2 Thigpen - 3

I f I remember correctly there was an organization philosophy when Peterson was here , if so what happened to it. What are Tony Bernazard's responsibilities in this?

It looks like it's the same shirt.

I'm sold on him.

When he got the Guv job I remember a post here where he told about his dad taking him to Shea in the early years , something like that. But yeah he's a big fan.

Mike is just a tad wild , of course he could be getting squeezed by the umps. Dock Doyle is just such an old school baseball name , I imagine he has one of those twirly mustaches.

No surprise that they will sell you a 1 ounce bottle for $5 , I hate stuff like this.

Yeah certainly it's tight , mainly I'm going with the Mets pitching based on the fact that one pitcher is making his first start with his new team and another is coming back from the minors.

Nice work Gwreck . I hadn't forgotten how much I dislike Myers but the link was a timely reminder as to one of the many reasons I do. Blanton's success against the Mets and Starks ravings aside I think the pitching match ups favor the Mets.

I'd be shocked too .

Number of consecutive games with 5-plus strike outs?

Brian Fuentes?

Schoeneweis 1.25 Smith 1 Heilman 1 Beltran 3 Wright 1.25 Anderson 1 Easley .5

Sanchez - 1.5 Pelfrey 1.5 Wagner .5 Castro 1 Delgado 2 Reyes 2 Cencel 1

Wright 2 Delgado 1 Perez 2

I'm looking at a ticket stub here from an April 25th game against the Braves , outer loge for under $50 , looking at the new seating I won't be getting anywhere near that close to the field in the new park.

Good job 86, thanks to all for playing. Here is the bit form Stark. ] STRIKE ONE -- THE 30-30-30 CLUB: It has now been 17 years since the multi-talented Howard Johnson founded a club that doesn't exactly need to rent out Shea Stadium to hold its club meetings. It's the rarified 30-30-30 Club -- 30 homers, 30 steals and 30 errors. From the moment he barged into that club in 1991, HoJo has been the only member. Ever. And in all these years since, nobody has even threatened to join him. But it might be time for him to order some hors d'oeuvres and dust off a couple of extra chairs, because this year, two of baseball's most riveting young players have actually put themselves in position to start hanging with Johnson in the posh 30-30-30 club room. Check out their first-half numbers: Hanley Ramirez -- 23 HR, 23 SB, 16 E Ian Kinsler -- 14 HR, 23 SB, 16 E Obviously, Kinsler would need to pick up the power pace. And both of them would need to accelerate their error pace just a hair. But this could happen. Easily. And just to give you an idea how tough this really is to pull off, since HoJo went 30-30-30, no one else in this sport has gone even 25-25-25. The last NL 25-25-25 man other than Johnson was the young Mike Schmidt (38 HR-29 SB-26 E) in 1975. And the last AL 25-25-25-er was Tommy Harper (31 HR-38 SB-28 E) in 1970. Now if you asked me to name the two most talented young players in each league that just about nobody ever sees, I'd nominate Hanley Ramirez and Ian Kinsler. But that doesn't make them immune from not-so-glorious history. So this word to Doris Kearns Goodwin and all you historians out there: Stay alert.

Good guess but no , interestingly along those lines the same article mentioned that Ryan Howard has a chance of joining another dubious club occupied by two players. 150 rbi + 150 K's The only current members: Sammy Sosa (171-158 in 1998, 153-160 in 2001) and Andres Galarraga (157-150).

It's got to help not having to answer questions everyday about Willie's job , going to your job in a better environment is a plus. Does Hojo get any credit here for the offense , Manuel practically called him our after taking over saying that they needed a better/new plan going forward.

This would be considered both a good and dubious achievement.

I expect this to be answered quickly , like most trivia posted here. Stealing here form a Jayson Stark column. In 1991 Howard Johnson "founded" a club where only he has resided , in the seasons since no player has come close to joining him in Club Hojo. This season two players are on pace. What did Hojo achieve in the 1991 season?
