It surprised me that so few active managers had 2,000 career hits. Ned Yost had 1863 hits Ozzie Guillen had 1764 hits

Fact - I suck. Willie and Buddy is correct.

Fact - Joe Torre recently became the first manager in history with 2,000 hits as a player and 2,000 wins as a manager. Question - Will Torre be the last? Fact - There are currently two active managers with 2,000 plus hits. Question - Name the two active managers with a shot at joining Torre in the 2,000 - 2,000 club. Disclaimer - I'm bored.

Adam Dunn is apparently on the market,owed a boat load of money though,plus he'd not do a whole lot for the OF defense.

Why not dip into the minors,Chip Ambres is worth a look. Chip Ambres

I went to bed with the score tied at 3,and not one bit confident that the Mets would win.

Last week the Daily News had articles on many sites in the City that exploit workers and don't give a damn about safety,having worked on Union sites and Non Union I can tell you the Union sites are a whole lot safer.

Gary said during the game that Willie had told Gomez sometime before the game that he was staying up,glad to have Green back.

Easley - 1 Wright - 2.5 Franco - 0.5 Gomez - 2 Reyes - 1

"Of all the fucking dramatic things I have ever seen,Roger Clemens is in monument park rubbing the fucking head of Babe Ruth,John I don't know about you but I'm happy that I'm not wearing any nickers today"

Heilman - 1 Sele - 0.5 Reyes - 1.5 Beltran - 0.5 LoDuca - 1 Ledee - 1 Wright - 1

I like that idea FK,there have been times when I would need to search for this thread,even though Edgy keeps it up to date if he's not around for a few days then it goes of the top page.

Brilliant KTE...have a blast at the game and Happy Birthday. The history of Chavez Ravine is worth knowing, the relocation of the people for proposed public housing to Dodger Stadium http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/chavezravine/ I've never been to LA but feel like I know it from reading Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels. I'm supposed to be in Yorba Linda next month.

I'm bummed I missed Phillie at KC.....looking at the games today I would have liked to have seen Boston at Arizona.

Player B is Delgado.

Lost 18 of the last 24 and still leading the Central Division by 5 games,different thread I know but that's crazy.

] 06/09/2007 5:04 PM ET Notes: Dealing with dreary clubhouse Comerica no more welcoming to visitors than older parks By Marty Noble / MLB.com DETROIT -- In almost every ballpark, new or old, the clubhouses are located on the lower levels, usually the lowest, and never exposed to daylight. They can be dreary places and usually are, particularly the visiting clubhouses that are, for the most part, smaller than those of the home teams. Syd Thrift, who served as general manager for several clubs, including the Yankees and Pirates, theorized that dreary living conditions would lead to dreary performance, and so he endorsed use of low-wattage bulbs in the visiting clubhouse in parks where he worked. Well, Thrift would have approved of the visiting clubhouse at Comerica Park. It is a dreary place and belies its age, given that the park opened in 2000. The cinder-block walks have been painted a faded mustard color. Some ceiling tiles are strained, others are out of place or missing. And the clubhouse is cramped with many small rooms, some with slanted ceilings as if they were post-construction afterthoughts. That said, the Mets' quarters this weekend are significantly larger, nicer and more open than the visiting clubhouse in Tiger Stadium. When the Mets played there in 1997, Todd Hundley called it a slum, and he wasn't the first to do so. Bobby Valentine said the manager's office was too small to change clothes, so he stepped outside and used the old line, "So small, I couldn't change my mind, either." John Franco is said to have told big Butch Huskey he could enter only if he removed his freckles. "They take up too much room," Franco told the massive former Met. "Get rid of them or those shouders."

I love it,if an apposing player did that to a Mets pitcher I'd be hoping for some fighting words,of course that's all Hamels words might be. Mets are at Phillies June 29th.

Sosa - 6 Delgado - 2 Gomez - 1 Wright - 1

Seems like Omar surrounds himself with guys he trusts and has known for years,I read last week although I can't find the article that Omar was not big on Sosa but one of his baseball people sold him on signing him. So far so good.

Has he not updated that since June of 04?,looking for his myspace.

Great for Kaz,hope he can stay away from the DL.

Excellent KTE,thanks for the link,always cool to read what the other fans are saying,looking forward to this series,the Tigers are a fun team to watch,the few times I see them. Their GM must be one of the best in the biz. I believe metsguyinmichigan will be there,have a blast .
