Mrs. Stacie Barajas, mother of six: As identified on a message board (about basketball): "That's Mark DeRosa's wife, Texeira's wife, Rod Barajas' wife, and Buck Showalter's wife." http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=868677&start=15

Please welcome Rod Barajas to the Mets.

If Reyes bats third, Jerry will bat Castillo 4th so he can bunt him over.

BG with a BOC nominee for his sad but funny statement.

Having the ASG at CF will give Fred Wilpon an excuse to celebrate the history of NL baseball in New York instead of just celebrating the Mets history. Will the game sell-out in Florida? I'm biased, but DC should get it before Miami. Now, DC won't have it until 2017 at the earliest.

"I think they're gonna suck, and I can't wait for it to begin." I agree on both points. Even though I have very low expectations, it's baseball, it's the Mets, and I can't wait.

He's fictional, but he was a Mets fan. It's Louie De Palma from Taxi. In Ken Levine's excellent blog (he has quite an interesting and varied background), he discusses Valentine's Day and Louie's explanation of love: Louie is trying to win back his girlfriend, Zena. He asks if she loves him. She says she doesn�t know what love is. He tells her she�s in luck because he does. And he�s the only person alive who can say that. He�s read what everyone else says love is and they�re always wrong. She finally asks him what it is, and Louie says: �Love is the end of happiness! The end. Because one day all a guy�s got to do to be happy is to watch the Mets. The next day you gotta have Zena in the room watching the Mets with you. You don�t know why. They�re the same Mets, it�s the same room�but you gotta have Zena there.� http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/

LWFS's point is amplified in Buster Olney's column from today: The Mets signed Mike Jacobs, as colleague Jerry Crasnick reported, and the most ardent Mets' fan at ESPN, Mark Simon, sent me a note on this signing. Mark, the floor is yours: "Mike Jacobs is an ideal (sarcasm intended) fit for the Mets. He had the 2nd-lowest OPS in 2009 (.698) among players whose primary position was DH. No player with as many home runs as he hit last year (19) had a lower slugging percentage than Jacobs' .401. And over the last three seasons, Jacobs ranks last among first baseman in the defensive stat 'Runs Saved' (similar to UZR, measures many aspects of a defenders ability, via the company Baseball Info Solutions). This despite his only starting 13 games at first base in 2009 (which tells you how bad he was in 2007 and 2008). That should work out especially well, considering that over the last three years, their second baseman -- Luis Castillo -- ranks LAST in MLB in runs saved for second baseman.

Wow, a picture of Castillo looking up at a pop fly.

Farewell to #35, DFA'd today to make room for waiver pick-up (because Minnesota made room for Orlando Hudson who should be a Met), Jason Pridie, in the name of love. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/Players/P/Jason-Pridie.shtml

Jesus Feliciano 3 for 3 today, and a walk, 2 RBI.

Nice work, Edgy. These photos are a nice tribute to Shea.

Being a "never-was" doesn't appear to be a negative this year for an invite. Feliciano is 30, hit .311 last year, and was the Buffalo Player of the Year (admittedly, there wasn't a lot of competition). At least give the guy a quick look to show the rest of the minor leaguers that the Mets will notice if you do well. What's the harm? It'll take an at bat in the Michigan game away from someone else?
-
What does Jesus Feliciano have to do to get a invitation?

Video of Flores, here:

Thanks JCL. To fine-line it, and this is where I was going with my "snarky" message, I don't think that Omar has improved the team but that doesn't mean that they won't have a better record.
-
"Come on you Mets" Agreed. Less than one month until the first ST game. No matter how bad things look, I can't wait for a Mets game.
-
You're baiting me, counselor. No, he didn't do squat. There are/were 2 players that could have helped the team that wanted to play for the Mets but he didn't sign them: Hudson and Marquis. Piniero was ready to sign but Omar crapped around. Getting 2 of those 3 would have constituted an improvement. Bay is a great addition but it's nullified by the Beltran injury . So my point still stands: Omar did not improve the Mets. The "5th starter" will be Nieve, Neise, Misch or Figueroa. Is that an improvement? At best, they are a .500 team. Do you, JCL, think that the Mets are improved--other than by health (hopefully)?

I know you're just trying to be snarky here but do you really think the 10 Mets will be worse than last year? They might be better if everyone is healthy but I don't think that, other than J-Bay, Omar has done a single thing to improve the team. The starters are the same, the catchers are the same, Castillo is still there, everything is the same except for the set-up guys but we don't know if they will be better.

The 2d and 3d parts are out, at the same website. It's well worth reading.

I love when he impersonates John Madden.
