Is that yellow chicken the mascot of the North Starred Flying Red Wings or something?
-
What would you rather see? Your first and sixth best pitcher trying to win a game, or your first and fourth best pitcher trying to win a game? I'd go with the fourth. You need the guy that's going to pitch for you every day to be one of your better pitchers.

32 - Danny Frisella, 1972.

NO. We are NOT getting Mr. Steroid-Head. Not in a MILLION YEARS. I'll have none of it. He is the poster child of gigantic steroid-heads. Let him have his head explode on the Nats. -
Then maybe I'm confusing myself with a memory of somebody on my fantasy team having a rain-negated homer a few years back. Possibly...
-
If I remember correctly, a few years ago, like in '02 or '03, somebody hit a home run that was negated due to a rainout. It was either Wiggy, Piazza, or Vaughn, I'm not sure which.
-
Maybe it will take years, and I'll be the only one around to see it finished. But with about 180 days between now and the beginning of next season, we could get something done on that front.

You listed him as '85 earlier in the thread, though. Confused me.

Rooting Interest for World Series Champion
Valadius replied to Elster88's topic in New York Mets Talk
Heh. I agree. -
Wait... John Stearns and Rusty Staub can't both represent 1985...
-
JD - are you sure you got your facts right on #2? It would be: 2 - Rob Gardner, 1965 were it not for the fact that Gardner pitched another year as a Met.

38 - Ron Swoboda, 1970.

14 - Robert Person, 1996 (Traded for Olerud)

To make things easier, here's a list of everything that's been proven right (plus what I guessed and know are 100% right) Edit: updated. 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 1962 1963 1964 1965 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2002 2003 2004 2005

That guy makes a pretty good analogy: When baseball was struck and then split into two mini-seasons in 1981, we first heard the term division series on the big league level. It was a one-shot intended to settle things that had trickled out of control. Crazy stunt in retrospect. For example, the Cincinnati Reds had the best record in baseball, but didn't get to play in the post-season. The Kansas City Royals finished under .500 but were christened the A.L. West's second-half champ. That October was to these Octobers what Leif Ericson is to Christopher Columbus. Sure, maybe it happened, but nothing came of it, so it's all but forgotten. (Or have you been to many Ericson Day sales of late?)

Tommy Lasorda's on the cross-Pacific wire with his good buddy, one would bet.
-
I would tend to think it would be either your third or fourth best pitcher, leaning towards the fourth. You want to win a majority of your games, and if you have your first three members of the rotation set, as if gearing up for the playoffs, then you can plug in your closer.

If only we could send Matsui to some form of Instructional League... -
That's bad sentence formation in saying "Omar Minaya's offseason shopping list this offseason." Take the first "offseason" out. And by the way, it is a general rule that successful teams develop their own talent. We're not going to become the Yankees, or the 2002 Mets, for that matter. We learned our lesson the hard way.

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AlFXPNdwGRFhNL0qqZq9L54RvLYF?slug=ap-mets-loopersurgery&prov=ap&type=lgns NEW YORK (AP) -- Mets closer Braden Looper had successful arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Monday and is expected to be recovered by spring training. The procedure to clean out Looper's arthritic AC joint was performed by Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Looper went 4-7 with a 3.94 ERA and 28 saves in 36 chances. The Mets have a $5.5 million option on his contract for 2006 with a $250,000 buyout and are expected to seek a new closer. If New York does not exercise the option, Looper can become a free agent.

Come on, everybody. I don't like doing this by myself. 27 - Willie Randolph, 1992.

39 - Wally Backman, 1988.
-
30 - Frank Thomas, 1964.

Well the OTHER Zambrano, our own Victor, captured the Mets Wildness Triple Crown this year, leading the team in all three categories. It would be a Quadruple Crown if you included balks.
