Met Hunter

Serves ya right to anyone that continues to watch this. Its like still watching the Titanic after its 50 below the ocean.

Someone sent me that photo. Thought it would be funny with the David Wright 7 train comment. Unfortunately it gets lost in my computer illiteracy.

Gotta love the problems of the rich.

Umps overthink these things. Unless you know for sure Torres missed first you can't make that call. Judging by the replay there is no way he knew for sure. Just sucks when it goes against you.

RIP Harry. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/K49F-PC4 That does appear to be a match. The guy who posted the news of Harry's death said he was working for the Commonwealth of Virgina at the time of his passing. I've written back to the person who posted the news to see if he could tell us what local paper might have carried his obituary. OT: While your at it catching up on your site, you should know that the picture you have for Omar Quintanilla is actually Jordany Valdespin.

In my pursuits, I visited Harry back in 2010. He lived at that time in Mechanicsville VA. Its just outside Richmond.

I was going to comment on that as well. Its great to know that your life isnt defined by a couple of obscure years thirty plus years ago. Even if it was something as impressive as making and pitching in the majors.

Met Number 931: Omar Quintanilla Fact About Captain Quint: Once traded for Jay Witasick. I noticed this pic on UMDB as well. Its not Omar, its Jordany. Players in column Q get no love.

I remember. Pretty sure it was Swannie.

There was an SI called something like "the best rookies of 1968" that had a few players including Mike Torrez on the cover.

Posey's a Pussy! Buster Posey thankful he doesn't have to catch Dickey's knuckleball I like this quote at the end: Dickey acknowledged Monday that he was disappointed about being passed over. "I think it would have been fantastic for the Mets, and for our fans'' he said. "But being here is still an honor. Matt Cain is incredibly deserving."

Edgy DC wrote: Chad Curtis (or Luis Polonia or any number of others) may be who you refer to, but (putting on my Stever Rogers hat) when it comes to accusations and implications of fooling around with teenagers, few teams are in the clear. With LoDuca and Castro, the Mets at one time fielded an all-high-school-haunting catching staff. Don't forget the Mets employed old creepy Ed Bouchee.

No matter how you slice it, Dickey, Wright and the Mets in general get hosed again. At least Collins got some love.

This is something from the Giants site. � Sandoval moved past David Wright of the New York Mets despite missing 35 games from May 3-June 8 with a fractured left hamate bone and the subsequent surgery. Moreover, Wright entered Sunday outhitting Sandoval, .355 to .307. "He's had a great year. I'm surprised that I made it," said Sandoval, who obviously benefited from the influx of votes from fans who voted a straight Giants ticket in support of Cabrera. By contrast, Wright won the players' vote, as did St. Louis' Yadier Molina at catcher. Players did elect Cabrera to start and chose Cain second, behind Mets knuckleballer R.A. Dickey. Also, Sandoval's election inadvertently might have prevented the inclusion on the team of a more deserving Giant, such as Madison Bumgarner (10-4), Ryan Vogelsong (7-3 before Sunday's start), Santiago Casilla (21 saves) or Sergio Romo (0.83 ERA, lowest among NL relievers). But the annual roster shuffling due to injuries or other factors making players unavailable could prompt the addition of a fifth Giant.

It's funny, because back in 86, all my nervous Met fan friends could say was that they hated him and he was anti Met. I disagreed. With apologies to Murph, any memory of that Series includes Vin's voice in my head.

Short timer Michael O'Connor is teamed up with that group of stiffs in Scranton, as well as catcher Gus (No, not one of those) Molina.

Just to show you the mentality of the typical MFY fan. I was out with a friend when we saw the results of last night's game. Not only did he dismiss RA completely because his team, with the $81.5 mil infield, "beat the crap" out of him, but he went on to say that the knuckleball isn't really a pitch. Jeez, I nearly shoved my beer in his face. Congrats RA. Hopefully tomorrow, we hear that you get to start the All Star game.

A little 2000 Mets reunion feel this weekend. Ventura and Super Joe in with the ChiSox. Rickey at Old Timers Day. Out east, the LI Ducks bring Armando back in and are reportedly signing old friend Timo Perez.

I've always felt the Kazmir trade was more about what we could have gotten.

Edgy DC wrote: I imagine they'll both have their day. Fonzie, certainly. By the way, I shouldn't let this pass without a big BOOOOOOOOOO for selecting McDowell over Benitez. The Mets PR people would do well to facilitate the rehabilitation of Benitiez' image among Mets fans. Totally agree with this^. Ive talked to Benitez as he's made his rounds around independant leagues in the area and he can't understand why fans are so anti-Benitez. He wasn't perfect, but he's got twice as many saves as McDowell.
