    Justin Turner tweeting his New Year's Eve fast times in Vegas and every escort agency in Nevada is tweeting back at him trying to hook their girls up with him. #scary

    Yabbut, forever.

    By the way, archivists, this thread stays alive.
  6. Edgy MD
    Have anybody's plans coalesced on this?
  7. Edgy MD
    Shit, you guys. This is the worst boycott ever.
  8. Edgy MD
    The comment came in the context of an assertion that the team will soon realize that lowering ticket prices is their best bet. Obviously, they can always be lower. I'm not quite certain when a price becomes artificial.

    Good luck. But fan revolt pretty much never, ever works. If the team fails, yeah, folks will stay away, as always. If it somehow finds a way to prosper --- if only modestly --- you can still stay away on principle and send your message, but somebody else will be happy to grab your seat. Philadelphians and Washingtonians even. Bostonians and Baltimorans and Yankee fans who can't buy their way into the big house but need to feel the satisfaction of taking a heavily discounted shit in Queens. And few extend their boycotts to cancelling their cable subscription because SNY is included as part of the package which means the Wilpons get their chump change anyhow. Ben Grimm is already getting shakey on his promise.

    I assume because it's his personal story and he doesn't personally know the quints. It's not like that hasn't been written about a thousand times.

    Melvin Mora debuts in this thread with a memories essay from Rob Neyer.
  12. Edgy MD
    Hadn't known you both knew him so well. Now I'm doubly sorry. Triply.
  13. Edgy MD
    And a few more.

    The cut-off-the-Wilpons'-nose position gains a new adherent.

    I continue to believe that the risks of climbing Kilimanjaro are minimal. In fact, it may prove to be less dangerous than the roller coaster and all those loopty loops. I am encouraged to learn that a 7-year-old named Keats Boyd and an 82-year-old man named George Solt both have summited. I bet they both had ulnar collatoral ligaments, though.
  16. Edgy MD
    That's what prompted this thread.

    Rice got 3.15 MVP shares, good for 29th, sure, but the likes of Craig Biggio got 1.02, good for 233rd. Given a chance to add one or the other's career to my organization, I don't hesitate in picking Biggio's.
  18. Edgy MD
    Well, they've already lowered ticket prices.
  19. Edgy MD
    Melvin Mora retiring from this thread by packing it in.

Presented as accumulated comparative data, they are represented as having a scientific basis. Which is why I think award shares -- at least for my imaginary "vote" -- are important. Did a guy dominate enough that he got recognized repeatedly among the best players in the league? Then that counts. Well then we get to the jump-off-the-Empire-State situation. It kind of washes your hands of having to think about it yourself.
  21. Edgy MD
    Well, there typically isn't much attendance until mid-May anyhow. So the difference between drawing 13 vs. 18 in the early part of the season isn't as important as drawing 22 vs. 40 mid-summer. So a good start could help. One relevant factor, I imagine, is the administrative staff layoffs. Some of those folks, I assume, were marketing and sales.

    Nymr83 wrote: I wanted Matt Holliday and all I got was Jason BOOOOOay... You could see the bad direction the Mets were taking even then. "Even then"? Sheesh, I think that was the end of the bad steps, rather than the first hint. After that, it was all over but the reckoning. I mean, in the subsequent weeks, they would still make some lower-profile but still ill-advised maneuvers like trading for Gary Matthews and signing Frank Catalonotto, but Omar was pretty much done after Bayday. The real digging work was in what came before --- Alou, Castillo, Wagner, K-Rod, Putz, Santana, Castillo, Perez, etc.

    Win, loss, loss, win How many times will the turnstile spin?
