Problem is I don't think they know the players that might be in any deal, I did get a Mets fan from that board wanting to join here.

Newsdy reporting that this should be done in the next few days, I guess there's not much out there to be had.

Here is the thread, don't laugh. Know What I Mean?

Watching.

I did my duty on an A's board regarding Haren and Blanton.

I think Cooby might still be upset with Monroe for his five SO day with the Tigers this season, was traded for a PTBNL August 23rd.

I'm in like Flynn.

Val and Yancy's similarity score is rising.

As mentioned at the time when it was posted, a good read on C.C. by Bill James. ] 21. C. C. Sabathia, Cleveland lefty (26). I have to tell you, as a baseball fan, I absolutely adore C. C. Sabathia. I always have. I've compared all these players to somebody else. It is sacrilege to compare C. C. Sabathia to any other pitcher. He is totally unique. For one thing, although listed weights of baseball players are so bogus that it's hard to see the point of listing them, C. C. has to be the heaviest player in major league history. He's huge -- 6'7"and has an aircraft carrier frame supporting large piles of necessary and unnecessary flesh, all of this adorned with comic little ears that stick out from his face as if the Lord couldn't find a flat place to put them. He has a unique delivery, hanging his massive leg in the air in seeming defiance of both gravity and nature, yet he is balanced and graceful. He projects a sort of genial warrior calm on the mound. He was an outstanding pitcher when he reached the majors in 2001 and has gotten steadily better, cutting his walks from 95 in 180 innings to 37 in 241 innings. He's 26 now, like Peavy, and his age is pushing him downward on this list; he is less of a young talent, and more of a mature product. But I don't think I've ever missed a C. C. Sabathia start in Kansas City when I was near KC or in Boston since I've been in Boston, and I hope he pitches forever.

Loshe was part of the deal that brought Rick Aguilera to the Cubs, not that that means squat.

I went with Keep Humber and Milledge, trade Pelfrey and Gomez. I think Milledge has more to offer than Gomez , Humber and Pelfery are a toss up right now I think.

I voted Silva, not enamored with either player though, Loshe would give the Mets one of only four Native Americans in MLB so that's a plus. Both are nibblers?

] The Mets would never again be looked upon as the second team in New York. Forget winning titles, this is the real prize and apparently the Mets true ambition according to KK.

Edgy DC wrote: Then why was he born in a tropical state? Absolutely a valid question.

] "It's not like I was voting for myself," Wright said. "There aren't too many people out there that can say they won a Gold Glove, whether there are questions behind it or not. It's unexpected as any individual award is unexpected, but I'm going to put that right in the middle of my trophy case."

Ron looked huge in those clothes, Ed Coleman next to him went with very old looking sneakers and jeans.

That's the kind of money I would have expected any other team to pay to get him, so I am happy it didn't get to a bidding war where the Mets would end up going for more years.

Hot Stove Report on SNY right now. Ron Darling was born to wear a turtle neck.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Wright will do what he's told to do. Wright on SNY pretty much said that, it's all about doing what's best for the team. David was wearing a ridiculous looking white beanie cap.

Haren's a bit old even for the Mets rotation, for fecks sake he's 76.

] "I don't own any other gloves," Don't own much of a third base glove either.......kidding of course. This should put an end to all future Rodriguez playing third for the Mets talk , yeah right.

All those years of posts on winning message boards prepared you for this, congrats.

This is the fella that Keith used to call chewbacca before he decided to shave the beard and trim the hair?

No catchers on the list, I guess Pena is the Mets prospect at catcher but what about Mike Nickeas, any good, waste of time or what?

WE HAD A FUCKING CHANCE TO GET ROMERO LAST SEASON AND OMAR FUCKED THAT UP AND HE WENT TO BOSTON AND SUCKED BUT STILL. I'm being totally irrational .
