Wait until the new joint is built,loosers like us will not be going to Shea for opening day...

Doing that Yancy might cost you an arm and a leg.

Those hats are truely awful.....from the Quinn blog.... ] Some important tips, thanks to the good people from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. Embassy: a "thumbs up" sign is considered obscene. One should keep one's left hand to oneself because it is considered unclean. Give and receive items and, most important, handle food, with the right hand only. And touching a woman's nose, chin or ear is considered an act of intimacy, and if the woman is married her husband may demand an adultery fee.

I can't wait for baseball....these past few months I have realized how much I love the game....

Nothing wrong with Valentin att all..except his age I suppose,I would like to think over the course of a season that Hernandez would prove to be the better glove....having said that I don;t think defence is a problem in the infield.

="Yancy Street Gang"]It would be very nice if Anderson Hernandez has figured out how to hit, and if he could displace Valentin as the starting second baseman this year or next. I'm taking a wait and see attitude, though. I want to see him show some ability against major league pitchers. Wouldn't that be huge if Hernandez hit enough to win the 2nd base job...that would be some defence to watch up the middle....

I like nothing more than a former Met players name popping up one day in a thread and then going to read the memories of him,all the better if it's a little known player(to me at least),for me that's what makes UMDB such a great source.

That's really cool Yancy...Omar can have all the coconuts he wants if he keeps his proimise.

I'm not an "insider" so I can't get the details: Rumor Central: Three NL teams interested in Trachsel http://espn.go.com/i/in.gif ] Preferring the Senior Circuit Feb 2 - The Cardinals, Nationals and Astros appear to have emerged as the front-runners to sign Steve Trachsel, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark has been told by clubs that have inquired about Trachsel. Several AL teams also have expressed interest. But it's believed Trachsel prefers to stay in the National League

How many years has Al Jackson been with the Mets....years right?

Plot Summary for The Road to Guantanamo (2006) In 2001, four Pakistani Britons, Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul and another friend, Monir, travel to Pakistan for a wedding and in a urge of idealism, decide to see the situation of war torn Afganistan which is being bombed by the American forces in retaliation for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Once there, with the loss of Monir in the wartime chaos, they are captured by Northern Alliance fighters. They are then handed them over the American forces who transport them to the prison camps at the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba. What follows is three years of relentless imprisonment, interrogations and torture to make them submit to blatantly wrong confessions to being terrorists. In the midst of this abuse, the three struggle to keep their spirits up in that face of this grave injustice. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-599098805530677622&q=the+road+to+guantanamo

I think that's just great...I'm sure Alomar is year to year on most things in life now...good to see the Mets have a steady coaching staff....and nice to see GM and Coach on the same page on this..or at least I think they are...

I drove past that stadium last year,Anderson swinging for the fences in the 15th...not his game...

His neck is banjaxed so he's to have surgery...

Neil Best who covers TV and Radio for Newsday.. ] JUST WONDERING: Kerry flipping over MLB flop Can Congress save "Extra Innings" from DirecTV exclusivity? Probably not, but some politicians likely will get some political mileage out of the issue. Last week, John Kerry said he will not run for president in 2008. But he sounded like a candidate this week when he questioned MLB's plan to sell its out-of-market package only to DirecTV (while, it hopes, driving some to its own mlb.tv out-of-market option). "A Red Sox fan ought to be able to watch their team without having to switch to DirecTV," Kerry said, perhaps forgetting that Bosox fans in Massachusetts are safe; those in New York have the problem. Anyway, at least Kerry was thinking of fans' interests. While joining Mike Francesa in spectacularly botching the basics of the MLB / DirecTV controversy Wednesday on WFAN, Chris Russo blithely dismissed concerns of tens of thousands of "Extra Innings" subscribers as not being a big deal. Russo might have been confused because he wasn't feeling well and left the show early. Or not. Two weeks ago, he similarly pooh-poohed the grievances of Brooklynites threatened with being booted out of their homes for the Atlantic Yards project. Eminent domain fever! Catch it! Best also reports that on SNY the NY Titans lacrosse team scored higher ratings than the Islanders game on FSNY and the Devil's game on MSG..had hockey ever been more dead?

I should tell you that he worked for the US Postal service for over thirty years.

I think that's Nigeria,he did just marry a girl from there though.....I tried to tell my landlord that Douglass was not secertary of state....he's won't hear of it,said only a very few people would know that bit of history,apparently now he wants to teach me all about US history,claims that the Kennedy family own all the whiskey Distillery's in Ireland.

I should call Baba and see if there are any prospects in Ghana,I know people over there....

Any Mets playing in the series?

I worked with a Doctor from Ghana,his Father was President of Ghana from 1979 until he was deposed in 1981. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilla_Limann

Did Piazza ever have any mild concussions,I seem to remember some talk about a possible concussion....maybe after the Clemens thing?

How about Fred Wilpon tell anyone that makes any kind of offer to include Shea Stadium in any way to sit on this and rotate.... Fuck the All-Star Game and fuck the yankees.

Maybe Cashman will take a look at him,they would seem to have the prospects to get him....

Not much in the memory bank here for me and Ledee but at times he reminded me of John Leguizamo.

It would make it part of a "New York" event and show some props to the about-to-be-replaced Shea. Thoughts about the idea? Later Selig threw a bone the Mets way at the yankee love-fest yesterday. ] But before all the crosstown fans on the Mets' side start feeling a little left out, Selig put out something for them, as well. A tiny teaser. He said that in his mind he's penciled in their team somewhere in the all-star lineup down the not-too-distant road, not long after the Cards have the game in 2009. "I can assure you," the commish said, "the Mets are on my radar screen when they get a new stadium."
