RIP Mr. Miller.

Welcome Brandon Hicks! Infielder, acquired from the Athletics for "cash considerations." http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hicksbr01.shtml .133 lifetime BA in the majors but only 90 ABs. He has some power.

Jose's agents didn't ask for a no-trade clause or a clause allowing him to reject certain teams?

The author of the comment which I was just passing along "FYI" deleted the tweets.

I was just passing along someone else's information. Believe it, don't believe it, I don't care. We'll see if he's right. The Wilpons have given us no indication to show otherwise. I changed the thread title to reflect the title he gave himself in his Twitter feed.

http://realdirtymets.com/2012/11/11/rumor-wsj-sports-analyst-says-wilponsmets-broke-ownership-turnover-imminent/ Read it and hope he's right about a change in ownership.

Kent was obsessed with Penner (a returning player) like he was Barry Bonds. http://blogs.wsj.com/dailyfix/2012/11/08/jeff-kent-survivor-should-be-harder/

Saturday Night Live, 11/3/12, at the end of the "Fox and Friends" segment, the crawl with the corrections from "the first two hours of the show" included "Mr. Met has never announced a preference for any religion over the other."

Just part of the legacy of the Crypt Keeper--you wouldn't want kids or people that have to get up early to see the end of the World Series, would you?

The Mets haven't released their 2013 ST schedule, but other teams have so we can see part of the Mets schedule: http://springtrainingonline.com/features/master-schedule.htm

Who do you think will win the World Series and in how many games?

Ozzie Guillen--fired.

Jeter's BFF Ian O'Connor said somewhere yesterday that there could be a "dark period" ahead for the MFYs.

Rodriguez now has more time to hit on women in the crowd.

I was just making a statement. I find it both ironic and sad that these cheats are now the leaders of current players. Just my opinion. You're entitled to disagree but it didn't require a rebuttal worthy of a Biblical scholar.

So the Rockies, in search for their new manager, are apparently talking to ... wait for it ... Jason Giambi It's long been said that he's been a guy fairly popular with and appreciated by his teammates over the years, and the players certainly don't care about the roids stuff the way fans and media types do. But he still would have been somewhere around guess number 1,324 if you had asked me for likely candidates. Clearly there was no harsh penalty for the steroid users from MLB--McGuire is the hitting coach for the world champions and Jason Giambi might be a manager. What's next: Sammy Sosa as an owner?

You'd hope that when they added the padded seats, they would have said "she's a icon... let's offer her the front row at the price she would pay for her current seats" but nobody thinks that way as it would cost them a few thousand dollars.

Good thing he's strategizing about how to minimize the reaction during the "roll call" rather than thinking about the game. Maybe if those mean fans give him a hug (bro), he'd play better.

Bo still lives on as when fans are sitting in the comparable seats, they often make that motion.

Not that I'm complaining, but that's an awful call in favor of Detroit. And it ends up costing the MFYs 2 runs.
