Everything is awesome when you're part of the team.

I remembered Delgado as a catcher. I do not remember Jae Seo as a Dodger.

And Timo has a World Series ring, so THEY WERE RIGHT.

Cabrera's got a .335 lifetime OBP. Not exactly Rickey Henderson, but a fuck of a lot better than we've got in Ericyoungares up there.

I'm not letting her touch anything any more. That's also why Amy Pond and the Ood live on my desk at work.

Jon Hamm, MHBS. Since he�s 43, his peak Cardinals-cheering years came in the 1980s, which explains this sentiment: �I hated the Mets with a passion. Still do.� http://nypost.com/2014/05/16/jon-hamm-was-the-one-guy-cheering-a-horrible-mets-demise

DON'T YOU DARE CALL YOSHI UGLY (I'm still a little upset that my daughter lost one of our Yoshi's legs.)

Figure on another handful this season, including September callups. That brings us to 985 or so. Add another handful in the offseason, and we'll probably hit 1000 some time late next season, probably with someone we claim off waivers in September for the playoff drive.

Collin McHugh was a Met?

Who the hell still listens to that guy?

Let's do this. I've got $38 in my wallet.

Regardless of what happens over the next four days, I hate the stupid Yankees. That is all.

The Sterling image is brilliant, especially coming after each Suzyn comment.

deGrom, Tejada, Satin, and desiccated remains of Lastings Milledge to Tampa for David Price in time for Wednesday's game. Book it.

May 9 update! Majors: Nathan (Detroit): 2-0, seven saves in eleven games. Koehler (Miami): 3-2, 1.99 in seven starts. Met killer. Minors: Tropeano (AAA Houston): 1-3, 2.94 in 33 innings. Jankowski (AA San Diego): .254/.324/.299 in 75 PA. Just broke his wrist and will miss "significant time." DAMMIT. Cantwell (AA Texas): .370 OPS in 56 PA. (Not a typo.) Has thrown out 10 of 21 runners trying to steal, though. Carmona (AA Philly): .349 OPS in 67 PA. (Also not a typo.) Three errors, which is why he's mostly DHing. Tissenbaum (A+ Tampa): .305/.341/.366 in 88 AB. Splitting time between C and DH. Campbell (A Dodgers): 1-1, 4.91 ERA in four starts, but a 2.018 WHIP. Rakkar (Chicago): hasn't started yet Johnson (Oakland): hasn't started yet Still have to figure that Nick Tropeano will see some MLB innings at some point this season, which is encouraging. And Maxx Tissenbaum has certainly taken to catching. But the three AA guys have had a rough go.

Man, Tony Gwynn Jr. is terrible. He's got a .630 career OPS in over 1700 PA. He's made over four million bucks in the majors just playing off his dad's name. His uncle Chris was terrible too, but better than Tony: .678 OPS in 1100 PA.

Vic Sage wrote: yes, if your an everyday player in your 30s who hasn't pitched since college, you may well blow your arm out because your mechanics will likely suck. but if that hitter had continued to develop as a pitcher, and so had sound mechanics, he's no more likely to blow out his arm than any other pitcher. Pitching probably does increase a player's chance of injury over a guy who doesn't pitch, which is why you probably don't want a full-time starting player, much less Babe Ruth, taking that risk, if your team is dependent on his bat (and vice versa). But, if Ike Davis was a good enough college pitcher to be an occasional middle-inning guy, or even a mop-up guy, in the majors, then even if he is no more than a .230/25hr who can't hit lefties, i would think he'd be a great guy to have on our bench as a platoon 1bman/PHer who could also give us the kind of 50-75 IP we gave to guys like Scot Atchison, Greg Burke, Brandon Lyon or David Aardsma last year, while giving us another roster spot to play with. I completely agree. But a move like this is akin to a manager not using his closer in a save situation and having some other guy blow it. He'd get pilloried. The last guy to try it was Brooks Kieschnick in the mid-00s with Milwaukee. Had an .837 OPS in 133 PA in 2003-04, along with a 4.59 ERA in 96 innings.
