Kurjian on Mike & Mike this morning... a few years ago, Peter Schmuck went to J.J. Putz and said "my name is Schmuck and your name is Putts and he said it's Poots" and that was the end of that conversation.

Intel on Reed and Green from Keith Law: The Mets also pick up extra outfielder Jeremy Reed, a defensive specialist who makes a lot of contact but lacks power or patience; and right-handed ground-ball machine Sean Green, who should benefit from the left side of the Mets' infield as long as manager Jerry Manuel keeps him away from too many lefties.

I phrased the Subject in the singular as I don't expect anybody else to have a memory of Mike Carp... Last August, my son Dylan and I went to Bowie to see the Binghamton Mets play the Baysox. We had seats in the 2d row above the B-Mets dugout. Carp was the starting 1B and would always have a baseball in hand, both going to and leaving the dugout. After one inning, Carp left the dugout and rolled a ball to a young girl (about 10) in the first row. She was sitting with her parents and brother and I noticed that he noticed her brother. When he left the dugout the next inning, he immediately turned toward this family but they were leaving to get food. He called out, waited, and then tossed a ball to the boy. I thought that was very nice of him, not wanting to give a gift to one and not the other. Later, he tossed a ball to another child in the row. When he homered, he got plenty of cheers from his new fans.

Was in this SI cover picture but was lying on the floor and was edited out. (Geez, this was less than 2 years ago and as many as 4 of the 6 in the picture are gone.)

The Mets got two big guys: Putz is 6'5, 250 Green is 6'6, 230.

From Ken Rosenthal, tonight: 8:46 p.m. � Mets trying to land M's Putz The Mets are working to acquire a setup man for new closer Francisco Rodriguez � and that setup man would be another closer from the American League West. J.J. Putz could be headed to the Mets in a three-team trade with the Mariners and Indians, according to major-league sources. Mets right-hander Aaron Heilman, outfielder Endy Chavez and first-base prospect Mike Carp would be in the deal, as would Indians outfielder Franklin Gutierrez.

If you have a channel called "DIY" (121 on Comcast Digital), on tonight's show (@ 9 PM): "A clubhouse is built for a devoted Mets fan...."

Do we have to call him "F Rod"? How about "Frank", "Frankie"?

WSo8M: (2) This is Spinal Tap v. (6) The Princess Bride

A tough decision, as they must be in these final rounds. When I saw that Mandy Patinkin was performing in NY, the first thing I thought of was this movie. Nevertheless, I went with the movie that makes me laugh every time I see it. -
If Mattingly got in while Keith did not, my head would explode.

BG correctly said: Pitchers want to know their roles? Here's what I'd tell them: When you take the mound at the start of an inning, your job is to get three outs. Don't make me come out there and get you. Finish the inning. And that's all you need to know and, more important, what they need to know. Get just 3 stinkin' outs. If you can't do that, you shouldn't be on a major league roster. Don't worry about who is up, who is on deck, and who is warming up. Everybody in the bullpen should be capable of getting 3 major league hitters out, regardless of whether or not they bat lefty or right.

There must be a good reason why Fuentes was removed for awhile as the Rockies closer. He's way overpriced. I'd take him as the 8th inning guy but that's it.
-
Have invoices/renewal notices gone out yet? That's usually a good time for announcing a big signing.

CPF Fun Fact: the part of the pilot that was played by Kareem Abdul Jabaar was originally written for Pete Rose. Airplane! wins again, even though Die Hard is very good.

The Mets are linked to almost every FA, whether they want to be or not, by agents. As MGIM said, the Mets are being used. If it means a fatter (pun intended) contract for Sabathia at the expense of the Yankees, fine with me. Bill Simmons, Red Sox fan, (in his Thursday mailbag) begged the MFYs to sign Sabathia.

I voted for Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago. HEY-BATTA, HEY-BATTA, HEY-BATTA... SWIIING BATTA!!! -
Give Cook credit for identifying himself as a Royals fan. I'm sure that the Royals boards now include him under the one page thread "Royals-Loving Big Shots."

We need two more. See the first post for a recap. -
"Where Triples Go To Die." "The Thrill of the Grass." Easy win for Field of Dreams.

HEY! I was messing with AG! And since when does our criteria matter? I will continue to vote on the merits. Even if it means voting for an anti-Semite like Mel Gibson. OK?
-
Good one Edgy--well played. So yes, I would take any movie ever made over anything starring the Governor of California or Mel Gibson, even though I liked "Running Man."

Naked Gun is funny from start to finish and it includes one of the best baseball sequences ever. I'll take Leslie Neilsen over Arnold Schwarzenegger any day of the week.

Zachary started but Greg closed (and got the save!)... way to go Greg!

Now the Royals will hate the Mets, too.
