    Watched it the other night with Mrs Lefty and Lefty Jr. We were....underwhelmed. I don't know if that's a product of the hype or not, but we're glad we didn't pay to see it in the theater.

    The biggest mystery about Chad Smith is how he ever managed to wear a major league uniform.
  3. Lefty Specialist
    I'd just like to say that Nancy Seaver was awesome looking even in that 60's space-helmet blond bouffant hairdo.

    Boy, the only one smiling in that picture is Mrs Hodges. Jerry's kids look like they'd rather be eating vegetables.

    Can't blame Uncle Steve for lack of effort. This ain't the Wilpons. Still, it hurts. That deferral of Ohtani money made this possible. And boy, 12 years for a pitcher is really rolling the dice, no matter how good he is. Let's hope he morphs into late-era Hideki Irabu.

    OKay, the rest of the dominoes can fall now. Not getting Yamamoto is a huge blow. I guess we'll be seeing Braves-Dodgers NLCS games for the next decade. Having already lowered expectations for 2024 I'm guessing the Mets will live up to them, adding a few pieces here and there but nothing earth-shaking, while waiting for the farm talent to mature. They still need pitching desperately. Adrian Houser is not the answer here, but i get the feeling the winter is going to be full of a lot of moves like that.

    I think the posting expires on January 4th, so a decision needs to be made by then or he's back to Japan for another year.

    Maybe someone should let Benigno know how many times the Brewers and Mets each made the playoffs the last 7 years. Brewers- 5 Mets- 1
  9. Lefty Specialist
    I can make space under my tree for Mr. Yamamoto, Steve. Go for it. The money means nothing to you.
  10. Lefty Specialist
    Ivanka probably put that burger down right after the photo, washed her hands with a warm towel and ordered the foie gras. I'm sure that Uncle Steve knew exactly what was Yamamoto's favorite dish and had it as the main course.

    Well, forget about getting rid of the anthem- it'll never happen. It's too ingrained. I just think it should be played by the organist (or tape of the organist) and let the fans sing if they want to. You don't need a different minor celebrity/amateur opera singer/local barbershop quartet to sing it every game, which is where the bloopers come in. I also think military flyovers of sporting events should be banned, but that's just me.

    You're really showing no faith in Brett Baty if you make this move. That said, yeah, sure, as long as it's a one-year deal heavy on incentives.
  13. Lefty Specialist
    Dunno, just have the feeling he's going to wind up with the Yankees. Hope I'm wrong, and Unkle Steve's money speaks louder than 'tradition'.

    =MFS62 post_id=142783 time=1702407335 user_id=60] Joe Schultz. Later
  15. Lefty Specialist
    Woof. That's a lot of sushi. An incredible sunk cost for the Dodgers, deferred payments or no.
  16. Lefty Specialist
    Johnson was also a .235 lifetime hitter, and hit .433 in 97 at bats in 1925. Yowza.
  17. Lefty Specialist
    Flotsam, meet Jetsam.
  18. Lefty Specialist
    They can get him next year when all he costs is money.
  19. Lefty Specialist
    Yeah, he'll get there eventually.

    Oh, heavens to Murgatroyd, no. He's awful. Day-old kimchi.
  22. Lefty Specialist
    Korean hitters generally don't translate well to MLB.
  23. Lefty Specialist
    When Lefty Jr was small, he LOVED Shinjo. He was like a Pokemon character to him. Had a jersey and everything. He was very disappointed when he left.
  24. Lefty Specialist
    I won't be upset if they don't get Ohtani. I will be upset if they don't get Yamamoto.
  25. Lefty Specialist
    Braves apparently hot on his trail, which means he'll kill us next year.
