No, nobody anticipated it. Certainly not me. But it at leasst reflects somewhat well on the Mets, in retrospect, to bring in enough interesting and considered options --- young and old --- that one of them panned out when Matsui didn't. Or maybe it was pure luck, but it reflects really well on Willie that when Valentin asked for his release early in the year, Minaya refused on Willie's advice, and Willie instead told him to get himself ready.

I don't think of this as a career year for Valentin. From 2000-2003, he showed more power with less OBP, but did it playing fulltime did it at shortstop.

Post-season counts. Though part of me thinks we shold rate post-season performance seperately, but we never have. but showed up every day and was very consistent. These are nearly the same trait.

In three seasons at Wright State University, Joe had 22 saves while fanning 145 hitters and walking just 39. According to one scouting report, Joe's a rare case of a guy who got more velocity sidearming than coming over the top: The Mets second pick was Joseph Smith of Wright St. University in Ohio. He is a 22 year old, 6'2", 205 lb relief pitcher with a sidearm delivery. He increased his velocity by dropping down his motion, improving his speed to the low 90s. He has a good slider and a good change up as well. The junior righthander from Cincinnati, Ohio posted 13 saves for the Raiders and was instrumental in the WSU’s run for the Horizon League Championship and a berth to the NCAA Tournament. He had a 3-1 record, 13 saves, with an ERA of 0.98 in 31 appearances, striking out 63 and giving up just five extra base hits, 9 runs, and 34 hits in 55 innings. Smith, a graduate of Amelia High School, was recently named WSU’s Male Athlete of the Year as well as team MVP. He is the highest drafted Wright State player since pitcher Brian Anderson was taken third overall in the 1993 draft.

And what a distinctive name! I haven't adopted anyone from this year's draft yet, and I find that I'm a sucker for relief pitchers putting up low ERAs in small workloads: Joseph Serfass and Wayne Ough having already slept in my loft space. I guess I'll never learn, because I'm adopting Joe after he just got sent to Binghamton, after releasing his debut album, Too Sick For Brooklyn: TeamWLERAGGSCGSHOSVIPHRERHRBBSOBrooklyn010.4517000920.010310328Binghamton000.00200003.0100021

I think your common thread is ruggedly handsome leading men, with sinewy forarms and a charming rascally anti-heroism. Except North by Northwest and Singing in the Rain, where you went for classy handsome leading men. I have no idea what my favorite movies are.

They were steamrolled, plain and simple..... Hook baited. Fish caught. Of course they were. I was working at a bookstore inthe mid-nineties. It was starting to get aggravating how many "real" stories featured book covers, not with the real person who lived the story, but instead with Daniel Day-Lewis.

Like I wasn't? God, who in their right mind is going to hire us?

Sure. So does Clint Eastwood. I've got to give metirish the benefit of the doubt somewhere though, and I'll assume that his Eastwood Jones and his DeNiro DeSire aren't ethnically linked.
