  1. Since I'm the oldest one here (possible exception MFS62), I wonder if we're the last generation to secretly think only pussies can't pitch complete games, or of that attitude persists at all.
  2. Fastball -- Gooden Curve ball -- Koosman Slider -- Seaver Split finger fast ball (or fork ball) - Cone Screw ball (not personality, type of pitch, but in some cases, could be the same person) -- McGraw Change up -- Santana/Glavine
  3. Just adding my attaboy.
  4. Cards the ones suffering from 20 inning whiplash?
  5. The trouble with hating the manager and the GM is you're always, in some small part of your psyche, rooting for your team to lose so you can be proved right.
  6. Throw it over the plate!
  7. It's only human nature to try to be something you're not.
  8. Ollie's self-destruct inning? Maybe not -- K's Pujols.
  9. The top result for a search on "New York Mets" is "New York Yankees tickets."
  10. Do we know when he's expected back?
  11. Ordered the Bill Ryczek book.
  12. I try to start them when Heidi Klum is naked. Seriously, this is an incredible feature. Again a vote of thanks to the redoubtable Edgy.
  13. Sure -- as an old Minnesotan, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Twins.
  14. What happened? I thought I was 8/10 Rockies.
  15. 1. First hit -- Pagan 2. First double -- Pagan 3. First triple -- Francoeur 4. First home run -- Bay 5. First stolen base -- Wright 6. First baserunner caught stealing/picked off -- Pagan 7. First guy to hit into a double-play -- Francouer 8. First batter to strike out -- Jacobs 9. First fielder to commit an error -- Wright 10. First guy to score a run -- Pagan 11. First guy to drive in a run -- Bay 12. First Met player to field a batted ball -- Cora 13. First Met to draw a walk -- Bay 14. First Met relief pitcher to make an appearance -- Feliciano 15.

First Met to be hit by a pitch -- Bay 20. First Met pitcher to plunk an opposing batter -- Ishigara Tiebreaker bonus (if necessary): Date of Jerry Manuel's first ejection June 5
  16. I'd rate Chambo ahead of Tino in a list of Yankee first basemen.
  17. Johnny Mize was a Hall of Famer, AND he even played for the Yankees at the twilight of his career. No way he should have been left off. I'd put Whitey Lockman and Dolph Camilli ahead of Tino Martinez.
  18. Seawolf, you're vicious.
  19. Go Valdespin!
  20. Sure -- there'll be a schedule posted somewhere?
  21. What's left? Put me down for something.
  22. Seaver had twice as a player and once as a broadcaster.
  23. How many have there been?
