    Note to self: Become a billionaire so I can get a tax cut.

    Yeah, how were his college numbers, anyway? I feel like we should have seen this coming.

    Hand vs Dickey. /giggle

    Regardless of when the national anthem started, we already have a patriotic song during the game, and it's silly to have a second one.

One of the bad legacies of 9/11 is that for a while there if you didn't stand at attention for every patriotic song you were viewed as un-American. I do not stand at attention nor do I take off my hat for God Bless America- in fact that's usually my bathroom break. I do stand for the National Anthem, because that's traditional and wasn't grafted on afterwards to prove we can sing louder than the terrorists. Agree wholeheartedly.

I think there's a decent amount of truth to this. I think it's schmaltz and needs to go. I have nothing against America, or the song, but it's unnecessary.

    That's awful. I remember as a kid being fascinated by "team leader" cards, and how you'd have a guy hitting .260 as the "team leader." (This was before I understood minimum PA requirements.) I always thought, "man, that team must have sucked last year if THAT guy led them in hitting." So our team RBI leader for the year is going to be somewhere in the mid-60s. Bleh.

    metirish wrote: Parnell throws 100mph plus so he has to be the closer Yeah, that's it, but I still for the life of me just don't understand why no team has been successful using a committee. If two big lefties are coming up in the ninth, then maybe your LOOGY is the guy you want, not your Closer. Meh.

    Bah. Added Batista to my all-time Mets card "need" list, and it looks like he doesn't have any certified autographed cards.

    I think SNY forgot Orlando Hernandez in their trivia question. They said Batista was the third starting pitcher to make his Mets debut after age 40 (Hershiser & Spahn). What about Duque? He had to be 40, no?

    We'll miss you, Jose.
  14. seawolf17
    No, that was 1999. Mahomes wasn't a Met in 2000, was he?
  15. seawolf17
    Rusch! He's the one I forgot. Jones, I think. Wright tattooed that one... off the wall. I know it's old, but boy, it's getting old.

    I kinda want to go, but I'm singing at our regular Sunday service that morning as well as at the community interfaith 9/11 service that night.

    Let him try it out in Buffalo for a year first, then we'll think about it for 2013.

Fixed that for you. That's how we got to see Mike Jacobs for three weeks. remember that? Mike Jacobs never happened. You hear me? NEVER HAPPENED. /strikes out

    El Duque retired last week. http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/sports/128036413.html

    Ah, Heyman's a dick. He just wants to be able to say this offseason something like "The Mets can't expect too much from David Wright. Every team in baseball had a chance to claim him last year, and nobody did."

    And besides, you gotta have a lot of catchers or you're gonna have a lot of passed balls.
