Centerfield wrote: Alou hurt now as per Metsblog.com. From newsday ] Moises Alou is headed to New York today after complaining of discomfort in the right groin area. The Mets decided to send him for more tests, including an MRI, after Alou didn't feel right following Monday's game against the Braves. Also, lefthander Jason Vargas was sent to Philadelphia to be examined for a sore left hip. "I have never seen so many injuries," general manager Omar Minaya said. With less than a month before Opening Day, the injuries here in Mets camp have reached epidemic proportions.Check out the holes in what was expected to be their lineup for March 31 against the Marlins. Jose Reyes (SS) ........ healthy Luis Castillo (2B) ........ OUT -- knees David Wright (3B) ........healthy Carlos Beltran (CF) ..... OUT -- knees Carlos Delgado (1B) .... OUT -- hip Moises Alou (LF) .........OUT -- groin Ryan Church (RF) ........OUT-- concussion Brian Schneider (C) ......OUT -- hamstring Johan Santana (LHP) ... pitching today, so presumably OK Now let's look at the projected bench, too: Ramon Castro (C) ........... healthy Ruben Gotay (SS) .......... OUT -- ankle Damion Easley (INF/OF) .. OUT -- ankle Endy Chavez (OF) ........... OUT -- hamstring/ankle Marlon Anderson ............. OUT -- bruised chest That's right. The Mets are currently missing 12 of their projected 15 position players on March 5.

] Astacio I could imagine (though I certainly wouldn't have come up with it). I remember Pedro giving up a shit load of home runs as a Met, so because you wouldn't have come up with that it's inconceivable that I would?.... Nino I checked on but the others are guesses.....

="Benjamin Grimm"]="sharpie"]Irish, how did you come up with Nino freakin' Espinosa in 1978 without peeking at sources? I was suspicious when he came up with Pedro Astacio in 2002! Ahh come on , pick on the fucking foreigner here, I'm taking educated guesses here.....jeez

What , just because I was age 5 and living in Ireland doesn't mean I don't know that.......

Nino Espinosa - 1978

Cool link to track a flight.. http://www.flightview.com/

Yes, under Reference, below the Baseball Cube and above WikiAnswers.

Mets By The Numbers should be under Reference I would think, currently it's under Blogs.

WOW, that is brilliant, I can now get rid of half my bookmarks.

The Foxy Tunes add- on is the bomb....

I signed up , I have Firefox so where is the Mets add on? When I signed in I was brought to this page. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

I t is interesting and some day Phillips will probably write a book about it, or at least it will cover a few chapters. No surprise about Piazza being low maintenance.

I just want to post this picture because it's beautiful.

I remember Alomar hitting two homers in one game...with Piazza's bat....a rare good day for him as Mets player.

I think I have a memory of the Mets wearing the blue cap in Miami during an early Pedro start.

Burnitz? Vaughn?

That's the first thing I thought about when I read Minaya's comments. The Goat might have a broken ankle and will have a CT scan today, the team Doctor suspects that he fractured it on the sliding into the plate.

Ambiorix is still in the Mets system....still at St. Lucie playing High A ball....

Klapisch is way out there, in every column he writes there is always something he writes that makes you shake your head, as with Valentin right here...the core of the Mets is quite young I think.

Weird, was talking about it yesterday while out for dinner , loved it and the soundtrack beat all. I didn't know that about the Coors girl or the U2 cover boy....interesting. Andrew Strong had an amazing voice, saw he had a Greatest Hits out when I was home a few years back....I thought ,really.
