  1. And he goes 1-2-3, climbing the ladder to fan Heyward.
  2. Gee done for the day. Harvey coming in to face Chipper-Hinske-Heyward.
  3. Mets up 3-1 over Atlanta. Gee going against Randy Delgado. Backup outfield candy dates Loewen, Baxter, and Newfoundland all in the lineup. A combined 2-2 with a walk, RBI, and two runs scored. Cede�o has two ribs too.
  4. Money quote right here: "Because I didn't throw over the last couple of years," he said, "(the Mets) probably think I don�t like it. I've come to think all closers are at least a little crazy, and the culture we've created around it makes them that way. More generally, it's a byproduct of specialization. You tell somebody that they only need to do one thing, given a few years, they become utterly terrified when called on to do something outside that comfort zone.
  5. And I choo-choo-choose YOU.
  6. Suck of a way to get a marriage started. That's what you get for not posting marriage photos, Jason the Journeyman.
  7. Had his own umping school, and (in my mind) advertised it in every sports pub I ever read as a kid. I'd place him just behind Dutch Rennert among names that pop into my head when I think, "Umpire." Top five: [*:d8r54h33]Dutch Rennert[/*:m:d8r54h33] [*:d8r54h33]Harry Wendelstedt[/*:m:d8r54h33] [*:d8r54h33]Eric Gregg[/*:m:d8r54h33] [*:d8r54h33]Dana DeMuth[/*:m:d8r54h33] [*:d8r54h33]Gary Darling[/*:m:d8r54h33][/list:o:d8r54h33]

  9. Ah, you've confused me with Willets. Tough day for Willets.

  11. You've (TM, that is) dialed down his already limp K/BB ratio just a little bit from last year. To me that's past the tipping point of effectiveness. I'd be at least a little impressed if he keeps his ERA and W/L record that modestly respectable with those K/BB numbers. But I hear ya.
  12. In my experience, people with kids growing up in a different town than they did; have been disengaged from their team for a number of years due to work, travel, or school; and who really love their kids more than their team. But as he shows, you re-engage, and the old familiar taste starts to haunt you.
  13. Well, he's a big-shot Times guy. Link fix't.

  15. I usually find him to be more mensch than not. In a world that too often celebrates screaming ignorance and careening satire, I'll take him.
  16. Yeah, well, I'm writing that off as "no need to put the big guy on a bus to Disneyworld" move.
  17. David Brooks coming back home.
  18. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Raul Reyes. He's sort of been the guy at every level who plays centerfield after somebody else gets promoted or hurt. But he had a nice breakthrough season last year, and it'll be interesting to see if he can pull it off in 2012 at Buffalo --- you know, after Nieuwenhuis* gets promoted or hurt. *What a vowel dump this guy is. Can we use an abbreviation? It takes so much concentration to type that name.
  19. Yeah, I know. Facts. Fuck 'em. If they think, in their wisdom, that he may be able to get some guys out, they're welcome to tender him a minor league deal.
  20. CJ's teammates. His pitching coach with the Tigers from 1999-2001? Dan Warthan.
  21. Whoremonger.
  22. Terms to file away for future usage: "auld guff talk."
  23. Hey, um, sorry man. Think I touched a nerve.
  24. Mike F. Puma wrote: Koufax called Bobby Parnell's arm "exceptional" and had a long chat with the righty. The crux of their talk revolved around mechanics more than mental approach: �Just little slight changes, nothing definite, where you hold [the ball], how you hold it and how you use it a lot," Koufax said. "This was more mechanical. Times have changed. Times have changed in what people believe, and I just believe a little differently sometimes."
  25. My problem with stoking wealth resentment is it too often feeds into the narrative of going after the guy you want taken out anyway --- the hated owner, the other political party, etc.
