    Benjamin Grimm wrote: They didn't do it for Gary Carter, even when he was dying, so it's not exactly a sure thing. This isn't an appropriate analogy. Carter had the majority of his HOF-worthy years as an Expo, and went in with a Montreal cap on his plaque, as he should have. Piazza had more homers as a Met than for any other team, and played for the Mets longer than for the Dodgers. He should go in as a Met, and have his number retired.

    Hate. I'll be shocked if this isn't the team that goes to spring training.

It's from a Manny Hanny ad in an old yearbook. In the interest of due diligence I tried on several occasions to contact Manufactures Hanover to gain permission but for some reason all attempts fell on a deaf ear. So yeah, we winged it. If you want any shots of Shea to put up there, let me know.

    I completely agree with this, and I'll just add here what I posted in the other thread: Anyone who creates content cares about their copyright, and it is up to us to respect that copyright. ceetar wrote: I'm not going to give those guys extra clicks anyway. That's not for you to decide. Whether you agree or don't agree with what they stand for doesn't change the fact that they, or the entity the work for, owns the copyright to their work. As such, they are entitled to monetize their content as they see fit. If you don't want to click on their links that's your prerogative, but out and out stealing their content is not the way to go about it.

As to the unlikelihood of anybody wanting to prosecute, or even issue a take down notice, yes, i agree. It's extremely unlikely. But that's not really the point, is it?

Maybe shortly after her and Han split, she discovered she was preggers but didn't tell him and "hid" Rey on Jakku to keep her from Snoke/Kylo Ren. Or, heck, maybe she's descended from Luke directly. It seems like she has some familial relationship to the group.(/PURE CONJECTURE) Either this, or (Conjecture) =#E4EEF3]Rey is the daughter of Luke and Mara Jade. Mara Jade is the most popular of the Extended Universe characters, and it would be great to have her back story added to Canon. (/conjecture) The movie was a lot of fun, but left me wanting more. Reportly, Disney had Abrams trim 20 minutes or so from his original cut. Hopefully there will be a director's cut version that will answer some of our questions

    No interleague play. It made the All-Star game special all by itself.

This isn't technically baseball, but I love that I can watch live TV on my laptop with the Optimum app. On nice summer nights, i can hang out on my deck outside, and watch the game.

    I miss Shea, Kiners Korner, and "Fasten your seatbelts"

I think that's all I need to hear to skip it. Am I the only one that finds no entertainment value at all in Jim Breuer's recaps? To me, it just seems like an annoying guy screaming. I'm with you 100%. Same here...

    It's Charlie Hayes, who never made it out of spring training.

    I'll remember the hustle. For all of his faults, he always seemed to leave it all on the field. There was also his humility. It struck me when praise was heaped upon him in every post game interview, he would immediately deflect it with a positive comment towards one of his teammates. But, I'll also remember this: This was September 24, 2008 - I have a picture of JCL that I took right after this that made me consider putting him on the suicide watch list.

    Pearce also had better numbers vs. righties than against lefties last year.

    I like it. He'll be the fifth starter until Wheeler comes back, and then can be used in the pen and for spot starts.

    I'm wary signing him long-term, but it sure does suck rooting for a team based in Milwaukee. (what? Milwaukee had a higher payroll?)

    Everyone who is dancing on his grave should be ashamed of themselves. This tells me that his surgery (hernia?) might not have gone well, or he has another health issue. Neither scenario is something to celebrate over. I have a feeling that the Mets already knew, and that's why they went so hard after Zobrist. As for freeing up the money, it's already been spent.
