=batmagadanleadoff post_id=49464 time=1604192218 user_id=68] Chris Carter - the smart RA Dickey era one year outfielder seeking a medical degree on the side and who threw like a girl. Worst Met throwing arm I ever saw. Worse even than Mazzilli.

I tend to think that Joe Girardi has kept Jorge Posada out of the Hall of Fame — or at least any serious consideration — by starting ahead of Posada at the beginning of his career and by relegating Posada to a time-share role in the last years of his career.

It's really interesting that a guy who spent his career as a heavy hitter but a defensive liability at three different positions went for defense over offense almost every chance he got.

Man, that's a strange quote from Torre.

Key part of the establishment of North Shore-Long Island Jewish Hospital, and is the reason the Katz Women's Hospital gets $$ every time the Mets win, and hopefully that continues.

Stan-tone wasn't a two-time Met. Nor did he appear in the playoffs for the Mets. Benjamin Grimm: 39 batmagadanleadoff: 18 Frayed Knot: 16 Johnny Lunchbucket: 16 Fman99: 11 ashie62: 10 Transmonk: 8 kcmets: 5 mfs62: 5 Seawolf17: 5 HahnSolo: 3 A Boy Named Seo: -1 LWFS: -1

Ew.

I hope this works. I'm not nearly as pro-Cohen as the room. HEWJ Republican donor in 2016, but mostly laid low this cycle. Inside trader. Let others take the fall for him.

Here's a bunch: https://www.facebook.com/The-Crane-Pool-Forum-83123367182/photos/a.10150570848002183/10150570848022183https://www.facebook.com/The-Crane-Pool-Forum-83123367182/photos/a.10150570848002183/10150570848022183

Never could seem to get the outfield walls right. But I guess Citi Field, for better or worse, has been his baby.

Brought a new look in '82. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hQXSRVDQ-Bg/WKBXDkOfOpI/AAAAAAAAKto/6Zupr9lMsdEjOIPAmHFd54yQUF8Ir9P_gCEw/s1600/1982%2BMets%2BGeorge%2BBamberger%2B-%2BVersion%2B2.jpeg>

Approved by the owners and the mayor has tweeted that the city has no objection.

Don't forget to get a translator for the Japanese interviews.

A Valentine book would probably come with at least some small advance, and make the leave of absence at least a little bit more workable.

Later Really? It wasn't game five. It wasn't the ninth inning. Dybzinski wasn't pinch-running. He wasn't inserted in the game late by LaRussa at all, but had started. And he wasn't picked off. I don't like LaRussa either, but ... let's be cool.

I still think there's a killer Johnny Lunchbucket/Bobby Valentine collaboration simmering on back burner somewhere.

Hintaroonie: Our mystery face belongs to a plaer who played post-season ball for the Mets.

Tony LaRussa (76 years old) is the new manager of the White Sox. The guy that condoned McGwire and Canseco's cheating. The arrogant prick from the Cardinals. That asshole. My old friend who I've known for over 35 years, but haven't seen for a while, is a fervent White Sox fan. His screen name on the old FASTBALL.com site was Shoeless Don (for Shoeless Joe Jackson). He must be fuming. He loathed LaRussa and called him "Tony The punk". He never forgave him for (an unnecessary wise-ass move to show how smart he was) pinch-running Jerry Dybzinski in the ninth inning of game 5 of the 1983 ALCS. The guy got picked off, costing the Sox the game and the pennant. Later But ... the Sox lost that series in four games.

This is good. My shower curtain is kind of getting moldy. I hope we get some A-listers this year.

Well, I'm not hitching my wagon to that. (1) What does Yahoo know? (2) The Mets needs don't always match what the best pieces available are. (3) There are thirty other teams. (4) No matter what kind of money you are playing with, there are still realities about contract length, age, and health that factor into your dealing. Take J.T. Realmuto. On the one side, the Mets need a catcher, and he helps on both sides of the ball. On the other side, he's 30, you never want to go over three years with a catcher, but competition is going to drive him up to five years, maybe longer, and any team has to ask themselves how much risk they can incur. He may be a good buy anyhow. And it's certainly intriguing that three of the Mets' softest spots seem to be center, catcher, and starting pitchers, and those are the positions of Yahoo's top three. So (2) is more a philosophical point than a concrete one. Part of me is more interested in which pieces of their offense the Mets deal off. Springer would really squeeze out J.D. Davis and/or Brandon Nimmo.

Had the game gone any further, Cash was getting ready to pinch-hit Simpson for Strawberry. WHOAH!!

We're looking for a Met (besides Trot Nixon and Adrian Gonzalez) in this array. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2020/10/screen-shot-2020-10-10-at-5.21.11-pm.png>

He may age better because of less complicated mechanics. I dunno. I tend to think he's burned his bridges with the team, though. If Springer is the primary target, it sure adds to a lot of their offensive redundancy, and they could pursue a starter via trade.

Is there reason to think Marcel Ozuna is still capable of being an above-average centerfielder?
