that is just a terrible score, edward.

he just wanted to be like jeter.

its a slightly different offensive environment, so i'd like to reframe the question. as a met, darryl averaged a 145 OPS+. if ike can finish his long metly career with a 145 OPS+ i will be thrilled and ecstatic. for comparison sake, albert belle finished his career with a 144 OPS+, lance berkman is at 146 OPS+. that said, an 0.878 career OPS would basically mean being consistently in the top 10 in the league for OPS, so it's really nothing to shake a stick at. i'll take it.

i think he'll be good enough that we'll collectively have to remind ourselves that there's more to being a productive catcher than being todd hundley or mike piazza. 12 homers in 100 games, 270/320/430 we'll see enough in return that we won't necessarily wish to undo the dickey trade

270/360/520 doesn't seem egregiously optimistic, with about 40 homers. i think he's more like hte player we saw at hte beginning of '11 and end of '12, but he'll have to stay healthy for it. i'd like to dream his batting average to be a little higher, but then i'm getting greedy. i think, moreso, that if he could drive in 90 with the season he had last year, he should be able to send ten more metties around hte bases this year with relative ease.

the dude is shown wearing an evil empire hat in the one photo that gets the most play. i think he's one of theirs, not ours.

iirc, every now and again, to the consternation of all involved, save perhaps the batter who was more often that not just awarded a ball, ollie p would occasionally and inexplicably drop down to the lower arm angle.
-
hey, cool, there's an amway ad up on the billboards, too. now they need to sell space to pyramid breweries, too.

What the hell's the difference and if that Collins quote doesn't illustrate the absurdity of designating a reliever as a closer, then I give up. I suppose this means that now, Parnell's gonna really really really try to get the opposing batters out. he's gotta learn to sprint to the mound in tune to some hard rock music, and pull off looking menacing without looking preposterously menacing. that's the shit that makes you a closer.

12 or 13 should be fine for me.

metirish wrote: Worst thing about that article for me is this According to Feeney, the simultaneous home openers resulted from several factors. First, this is the first year with two leagues of 15 teams each and the first year there will be an interleague game nearly every day, causing some scheduling difficulties. That trend starts with the Los Angeles Angels visiting the Cincinnati Reds on April 1 for the first interleague opening day game. IL play on Opening Day....screw that. honestly, i like htis sulution so much more than the mid-season interleague smorgasbord frenzy.

march 7 seems really really early...

giving $4M to valverde would be an awful stupid thing to do. especially since it sure seems we have some decent cheap young bullpen arms whose ultimate utility would be far better off explored. we know valverde isn't much of anything special. lets find out if some of our own guys are.
-
i'm probably carrying over too much of my sucky-suck offense from last year, but we'll see how that goes.
-
lets not forget, too, that we have to renew our league payments by mid february.

Are you implying that people love Lance Armstrong and his lying, self-serving piece of shit ass now that he's talked to Oprah? are you implying that we don't? shit. what was the point of all that then? i mean, clearly lance thought that was the likely outcome.

yeah. there's a football/ped/hgh/ray lewis story going around, too, but nobody seems to care. because it doesn't affect [bigpurple:1tqvdwi4]the numbers[/bigpurple:1tqvdwi4]. the other thing it won't affect? ray lewis' hall of fame candidacy.

or since the guy wasn't an actual doctor, there's no actual priviledge to be maintained...?

White Sox bringing back Seaver-era uniforms this year!
metsmarathon replied to a topic in New York Mets Talk
isn't it obvious? skyline runners. you get people dressed as representative foam skyscrapers from the logo. maybe even get some poor guy dressed as a bridge. -
isn't that what theyre doing down at fantasy camp?
