    Jordany Valdespin, coming off his successful AFL campaign, was Rule V eligiible. So said Toby Hyde, and the Mets musta been reading, because BAM! they added him to the 40-man roster.

    I'm pretty sure that Jim Carrey's life is still pretty good.

    1) Yes. 2) He was.
  5. Edgy MD
    Both good.

    I think this sub-forum is at it's best reviewing afterthought films like this, a few years old and prematurely forgotten.

    Mixed review by some guy watching the AFL. Valdespin showed great tools, but little in the way of how to play. He turned on a Jeremy Jeffress 99 MPH fastball like it wasn't even an issue and showed good range and throwing arm on several plays. But he is inconsistent from play-to-play, showing a lack of concentration. He also swings at nearly everything and has poor hitting mechanics.

    I am incorrect. While "Wargames" did not appear in Wargames, footage from the latter is featured in the video from the former. In fact, that's all there is, unless this is a latter-day creation. about "Romancing the Stone," however.

    You're not alone.

    Yeah, good one. The credits thank The B-52's* at the end. The Zevon case is illustrative. There are situations where filmmakers don't like a commissioned song and drop it from the cut and the musician releases it anyhow, and even produces a video without footage from the film, which is the big advantage of such songs. Two I can recall are "Romancing the Stone" (in which only a few instrumental bars of Eddie Grant's failed title song appear, and Crosby, Stills, & Nash's "Wargames," which ended up on the cutting room floor of the film that it was commissioned for. *In 2008, the band long known as The B-52's dropped the apostrophe and now refer to themselves as The B-52s.

    I thougth I arlready polled this baby. Seemed like the sort of film that gets and extra star due to the national pride folks take to it. Sweet and decent, though.

    Oh, grow up.

    I can't. I have a rape scene-averse date. What can I say?
  16. Edgy MD
    This has a rape scene in the opening. Are they going to keep flashing back on it?
  17. Edgy MD
    Do I? I just guess it shook out that way because of partial seasons by the Mets top two starters, and the other two coming in with a third-of-the-season block pitching consitently poorly. But, of course, Rodriguez missed meaningful time (in volume, if not in import) too. I'll review.

    The only question is whether you deliberately obtuse are not, but I really dislike when you force an argument on somebody that they are not making. The number 30 is a factor, not a product.

    We're going in circles here here. As you point out, Mazzilli's ranking of 30 would not have happened had he had he been on the 1985 team. Better teammmates typically generate more wins, but lower rankings. So Gooden's better score is not the product of better teammates, but better Gooden, standing out in a better field, and getting more points for it. Gooden scores higher, not because he had better teammates, but because he towered above better teammates. Gooden received 8,820 points. Mazzilli received 6,030. That's not a particularly accurate representation of their relative worth (Gooden is probably worth at least two Mazzes, not 1.46), but it's not that innacurate either, and we're talking about an extreme case.

    make up your own system.

    Relative to the league, Bobby Bonilla was a two time All-Star with the Mets. Dykstra none. On the other hand, bb-r.com says Bonilla had 8.7 WARs for the Mets. Dykstra had 16.4.
