Fuck the Phillies!

Byrdak 1.5 Thole 1 Davis 0.5 Pridie 1

Can Pelfrey be sent to AAA Buffalo without his permission?

I don't really care about the "segregated" bit. If he misses D.C. so much he can be DFA'd there.

I see the article says 200 Million gets 49% of the team..Didn't this start with 200 million getting 20-25% of the team?

Beato 2 Davis 2 Thole 2 Reyes 1 Byrdak 1

First hit of the game goes to Rick Ankiel.

The article throws out "expected to lose 60million this year" and we're just supposed to accept it? I can believe they could definitely lose money this year, but will it be that much? I wonder how much each 'fan' is worth? given revenue and concessions and parking and ad views and whatever else. Also, the 25k (that might factor in the overlap of season plans that make up a full plan maybe?) figures represent tickets sold, which are presumably less valuable than actual turnstiles. An uptick in interest of the team means more of those 25k will get used (and more revenue by being _in_ the park), less will be available for resale, and those fans that normally would buy them may turn to the Mets to actually buy tickets first hand. I'm curious what the revenue swing would be from say 2.4 million fans to 3 million. At an (probably low) average of $20 a ticket thats 12million right there. Not including parking, concessions and telling Pepsi more fans are seeing your ads, give us more money for 2012. Much like it's too premature to completely write off the Mets as miserable losers this season, it's probably too early to project how much money they might make this year or next. It does seem like a lot of the Wilpons problems lessen with a winning baseball team. Who knows, reach September with the playoffs insight and you could get a lot of revenue via early season ticket signups with playoff perks. No amount of fans through the turnstiles will make the Mets profitable this season. Queens Ballpark Inc. and Sterling are junk rated entities. The debt service is piled high and higher.

So New York is Harvard?

Hopefully Livan Hernandez will not be able to concentrate because of this. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/dailypitch/post/2011/04/livan-hernandez-drug-dealer-trial-nationals/1

Great minds thought alike ten months ago. Link will take you to a whole history of homegrown Met infields, who qualifies, who doesn't. In a nutshell, Davis, Tejada, Reyes and Wright broke the record for most starts by a purebred homegrown Met infield last year. It wasn't much of a record: 15 games by Kranepool, Boswell, Harrelson and Foli, all in 1971. The new record is 39, all in 2010. Davis, Murphy, Reyes and Wright have started nine games together thus far. Greg, how is 14 games played as a cutoff "not so arbitrary."

You are counting Foli with 15 games??? I thought we were looking for infields that pretty much played the entire season together.

None.

Bad bad D costs the run. At least Bay didn't hurt himself chasing, the big guy was moving scary fast when he slid.

Wasn't McDowell a bit of a smartass as a Met?
