Oh, and I voted Yankees because Every Free Agent Signs With The Yankees�.

Nah, that's a shelving unit. And I'll defend the lightsaber too; he said HIS would be green, but that would be Darth's, which is red.

I don't remember which of you used that as an avatar pic at the CPF II (Edgy? Lunch?), but whoever it was, it took me about a year and a half to figure out that wasn't you.

We had a better pic of Jerry Hairston's wife in a Hairston family shot around here a few weeks back.

Edgy DC wrote: Jacobs was released shortly after the announcement. Ouch. You don't get that in the bigs. Unless you're Kyle Davies, who was released right after a DUI arrest last week.

Monk's KTE reminded me that I conflate Jonathan Lucroy with Matt LeCroy.

Maybe HGH specifically. You'd think MLB would know of what they speak here. I guess all the other suspensions were for other things.

Brilliantly done. TransMonk wrote: HEADING TO LAS VEGAS TO GET MARRIED THIS WEEKEND!!! ROAD TRIP! LET'S GO!

He should be making a few appearances in the NY area in the coming months, which I'm sure will make some of his former teammates very happy. He's been out of the spotlight some 45 years now. That's cool, Bub! /raises eyebrow /gets card ready for autographing

Please. I'm sure any time a lawyer contacts the Mets these days, an EMERGENCY red light and alarm start going off.

Ab-so-goddamn-lutely.

Jeff Montgomery with the Royals.

Pelf's similarity scores are eerily fascinating and really tell you nothing: Similar Pitchers through 26 - and what they did after age 26 Johnny Marcum (982) - 1933-1939, so it's largely irrelevant. Todd Stottlemyre (980) - Very Pelfian numbers in the AL, but turned it on in STL and had a pretty solid second half of his career. Kip Wells (975) - Went on to lead the NL in losses with PIT in 2005 (18) and with STL in 2007 (17), then imploded. Was a Duck in 2010. Ricky Bones (973) - Became a middle reliever, then a pitching coach. Pete Redfern (973) - Went 5-11, 6.58 in 1982 at age 27, then vanished. Jason Marquis (973) - Led the NL in losses in 2006 (17) at 27, and despite Metly overtures, has been largely forgettable. Adam Eaton (973) - Got progressively worse each year; out of baseball at 31. Jason Schmidt (970) - Got more productive, actually; three ASG appearances and two near-Cy Youngs in his 30s. Pat Hentgen (969) - Won a Cy Young at 27 with Toronto, then grew crazy meatchops and started to wash out two years later. John Lackey (969) - Lit up the AL with Anaheim, but has been pedestrian in Boston the last two years and is now 32. Most Similar by Ages 24. John Lackey (992) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 C 25. Jason Schmidt (985) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 C 26. Johnny Marcum (982) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 C

You cut off the end of the article; it also mentions that he's planning on tearing his ACL this football season and will start REHAB in May, as per Mets system requirements.

I could send you one if you'd like; I actually have one here at my desk. PM me your address and I'll stick it in the mail.

Wow, they were so close in 1962. If only things had started differently.

Stephen Drew.

Short-staffing issues at work means I'm headed in to lead our afternoon information session... which means after all that, I'm not Citi-bound right now. Blargh. Public apologies and thanks to CF for getting me the tickets anyway.

That's the plan, yes. I have your cell number, and fman's. I'll be in touch. Miniwolf has never made it past the fifth inning of a Mets game, so I don't have terribly high expectations, but as he gets older, he's asking more questions, so maybe this time.
