Tuedsay afternoon is never ending.

Because he's out there freezin' If we don't give up outs, we could be freeze Francis, too.

Let's play "Talk Back to Power": "Jacob Turner, the big redhead, at first base." Uh, he may carry himself like a Viking, but he's not that big, 'cep a little bit in the belly. And it's "Justin." "David Wright over there at third. And it seems like until he arrived, they had a different guy there every year." Or... until Hubie Brooks took over in 1981. I think that's what you meant.

Mook who probably came to root for the Mets: "LET'S GO, LAF-FEE! HAH-HAH-HAH!" Ah, yes, very rich.
-
Hey, it was David Wright and bring on the night, but credit to Sweetypants where credit is due.
-
Almost, man. Credit to Mike DiMuro, he's not expanding his strike zone to get out of there.
-
Buck, not looking fast in barely beating out one of the ugliest attempted DPs you'll see, but somehow going first to third. Now it's up to Bax.
-
Nope. Dudatime, then.
-
Ike Davis, the fates call your name.

AT&T Trivia Question: "Who was the first African-American to play in the American League?" Has this really become a matter of trivia?

Still looking for that elusive blown save.

Today's lineup.

The funny thing is that's kind of analogous to Jackie. Part of the genius of Rickey --- and the mystery of Robinson --- is that he was more or less a semi-indifferent baseballer up until the Dodgers approached him. It was his third- or fourth-best sport, but there were a few bucks to be made after leaving the army, so he joined the Monarchs. Rickey not only recognized the athleticism that was more nurtured on the gridiron and track than on the diamond, but the focus to turn those talents to baseball and bring the refinement to his game as an adult that other ballplayers had learned much younger. Maybe a baseball-first guy wouldn't have made the best pioneer, too focused on advancing his own dream to see the bigger picture. Who knows? But the Robinson on the basebaths was the real deal, and the skills he learned to escape the rundowns were a halfback's skills, staying low, dropping a powerful arm to the ground, using it as a fulcrum, and turning 180 degrees in an instant. Backman and others have used the same technique, obviously to lesser effect.

The third one is escaping me, but I think he had his grandfather rights taken from him --- like he switched teams and the new team (Houston, I'm thinking?) wouldn't assign him the old number, and he didn't have the juice to fight for it. -
More importantly, as the Mets are in Denver sitting out the snow, the clubs' respective affilliates squared off and Colorado Springs brought a 19-5 beating upon the high rollers from Vegas. Special tip of the hat for Armando Rodriguez for distancing himself from the sorry show by his fellow pitchers. Chris Schwinden: 3.2 IP, 7 H, 8 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 4 SO, 2 HR Armando Rodriguez: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO, 0 HR Justin Hampson: 1.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 SO, 0 HR Adam Kolarek: 2.0 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 1 SO, 0 HR Eric Campbell: 1.0 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 SO, 1 HR

When does the PotW go back to? It seems there are periods of recent baseball history where Player otW and Pitcher otW are distinct and therefore pitchers ineligible or only nominally eligible, and periods when there is only one award, or there are two but pitchers are liberally considered for the former.

I guess I left that one out. Yup. -
Well, I'm convinced.

Wait a minute. I wrote that scene (minus the baseball). http://sabr.org/bioproj/person/8fb2e85c The ball is bullshit! This ain't no Mean Joe Green commercial!
