    The Robin Williams film festival: 12 weeks of double features! Dead Again Good Will Hunting He's a psychiatrist... at a crossroads. And he's never had a case like this!

    Benjamin Grimm wrote: Randy Johnson? Pedro Martinez? No multiple guess dumps!! Randy Johnson was mostly pretty bad as an Expo, going 3-4 and walking a terrifying 5.3 men per nine innings. He was a rare talent in that he turned the corner at pretty much the exact point he threw a no-hitter for the Mariners. Never has a light so definitively gone on. He was pretty bad, he threw a no-hitter, and then he was great for 15 years. Pedro, on the other hand, had his first great season with Montreal, but they weren't such a great team. He went 17-8 in 1997, won the Cy Young Award, and got traded to Boston for Carl Pavano and Tony Armas, Jr. El Presidente, on the other hand, played for the Expos back when there was no shame in coming there after starring elsewhere --- in Baltimore, in his case. He produced double-digit win totals seven straight times for the Quebe�ois, peaking at 16-7 in 1989. He also helped future Met Tim Burke bond with the son Burke adopted from Mart�nez' native Nicaragua.

    Kid Rock. Figures. Sheesh, is America even entitled to authentic commercial schlock anymore? Outclassed sums it up. Williams has his team well oiled enough that a dick like Harper throwing spanners into the works just shows how well they can function despite it all.

    Comb-back time.

    Two well-struckies out of three, but only one run. Warning track action won't do it.
  6. Edgy MD
    OK, how about we make something of this?
  7. Edgy MD
    Boooo! We've got to unpack the bats. Can't depend on the pitching to carry all the water.

    He guessed Torrez (and was right) also. Who's the Bob Seger imitator who sings "I was BOOORRN free!"
  9. Edgy MD
    I'm guessing Mike Torrez on the Howie Rose trivia question.

    As unfamiliar territory as a batter's box must be for a career AL pitcher, the basepaths must really be alien terrain.

    Mets driving the ball hard but hitting a lot of leather. And as I type that Span puts away a long drive for the third out.

    Not Bryn Smith. Gyd giss, though. Bryn rocked an 18-5 season in 1985. Never topped 12 in any other season.

    I'll check who among the above have more or less fallen away. Meanwhile, name the only 20-game winner in Expo history.

    But it really depends on who them is. A lot of the resentment was focused on the players. I stood by them, even though I resent that the MLBPA has never supported the umpires' union nor attempts by minor league players to unionize. They were right to walk and to hold out, and any cracks in the unfathomable position that MLB owners had and still largely have was a good thing, from my perspective. Think of all the looking-in-from-the-outside HoF cases of baseball players whose careers included both the 1981 strike and the 1994 one --- Tim Raines, Alan Trammell, Jack Morris, Fernando Valenzuela. The labor movement might have cost them an impressive dose of historical authority.

    I think his statements and behavior have demonstrably shown he was pushing to set a recovery record and that he has been publicly disappointed with the team for not allowing him to try. And that's why, a bunch posts ago, Centerfield wrote what many of us were thinking, that poor Hef should be taken as an object lesson by Harvey. It's obvious.

    You really do watch Gray's Anatomy live!

    Look at the bottom half of the Mets lineup. JV pushing the varsity aside pretty aggressively.

    Ceetar wrote: But simply caution cause guys get hurt pitching is silly. That level of caution should have already been built into Harvey's rehab schedule. It has been, and he's taken several opportunities to push back against that schedule and that plan, publicly and vocally. That's the point. Ceetar wrote: Right, he's been fairly closely monitored, and while it's certainly possible he might try to push farther, haven't seen any signs of it. Then I would beg you to look harder. He's been pushing repeatedly all season.

    Lost window of opportunity for Castillo. Not that he would have made it through, but what a lousy break. Tim Bogar closed out the season and went into that strike with an 0-7. Ouch.

    For nine fucking innings?! [youtube:1om2svha]U3ZUPR1mPeQ[/youtube:1om2svha]
  22. Edgy MD
    There's a story in that.

    Ceetar wrote: I mean, what's Harvey supposed to try, not pitching? Not being an impatient and petulant child picking public fights with the team for keeping him down. He could try that.
  24. Edgy MD
    I don't understand. Certainly, everybody knows that Harvey is not Hefner. But the protocols for rehabilitation are based on the successes and failures of the cases that precede yours, and thinking that they are all irrelevant because I'm me and they're not is illogical macho posturing, and publicly challenging his team was embarrassingly counterproductive. And hopefully a very human and relevant reminder of our universal vulnerability in the very next locker will be instructive in introducing humility and patience to his approach. It couldn't be more relevant --- medically and morally.

    Look at that tier behind Matlack. There's as much distance between him in eighth and Jones in ninth as there is between Jones in ninth and Jim McAndrew in 31st. It's like, "Only the gods may enter this stratosphere, son." Makes a small but decent case in itself for Matlack as Mets Hall-of-Famer.
