Who?
-
Out for 1/29, in for March. I'll nominate 3/13, as it's nice and close to my birthday, for Darryl's. Less likely to conflict with squatters looking for college basketball action. I'll volunteer to coordinate the reservation as well, unless JCL is already on it.

There is a kid with that name who is searchable on FB, so as bizarre as that might be, it could be legit.
-
Holy hell, NOBODY IS TRADING JOSE REYES. Next person that does gets bitchslapped.
-
Mets: "Well, we'll just go with Hu at short." Jose's agents: "Seriously? You just added another $5 million to our demands."
-
It should definitely be at Straw's. Good call. Accessible by train, too! I'm assuming it's too early to know the TV schedule for ST games?
-
Did we plan that and I missed it?
-
Can play second and short, so he could be a viable MI backup. Worth a look.

Problem is, those are from the most worthless (in terms of resale value) years of collecting. You'd be hardpressed to get much of anything for them; giving them away might be your best shot. I pulled a handful of Mets out of my collection from those years and put them in a shoebox for MiniWolf; maybe he digs them someday, maybe he doesn't. I'd offer to take the random hockey/fb box, though.

Forget stats. It's clinically retarded to think Toby Harrah was better than Dave Concepcion in the 1970s (or ever).
-
I'm pretty sure that starting that IGT was my season highlight.

Jayson Stark is the worst writer in the history of language.

So you're admitting he had one blammo year, then one good year, and then nothing, whereas Kingman gave the Mets a lot more over a lot more years. Bernard Gilkey did that too; had a dynamite 1996, a good 1997, and then meh. And as such -- and because those teams were bad -- he's 71st or whatever. Gary's earned his bump because of his teams; you could make the argument that he gave I love Gary too, but realistically, his ranking seems right to me.
-
Why is that so wrong? Kingman was better than Carter. Carter had ONE great year as a Met. He was very good in 1986, and then fell off the table. Kingman was very, very good in 1975-76, then very good in 1981 and led the league in homers in 1982. I'm not saying he's WAY better than Carter, but three spots is about right over 50 years. Part of the reason Carter's teams won were all the OTHER guys in the Top 50, too.

Pitchers who lead the league in appearances for 3 straight seasons scare me. If this was 10 years ago, and Felicino was leaving some other team, Steve Phillips would give him a 3-year contract. You know it. Exactly. This is a win for us; if he'd signed with a division rival, there would have been spots in the next couple of years where he could potentially hurt us. Instead, we get to watch his arm fall off right in our backyard. Well played, Sandy.

Clearly, however, he has not learned his lesson about stupid clothing bets.

I'd throw him a minor-league deal. Still only 28, and hasn't been awful.
-
Wasn't that the whole deal with the Oakland Coliseum, anyhow? A ton of foul ground?
-
I'd think they'd get a lot more for Kendrick, for what it's worth.

But, in the meantime, it's Sabathia, Hughes, Burnett and ... ?? Why hasn't Mike Francessa killed Cashman for doing nothing at the Winter Meetings/offseason yet? The Mets actually are one further along. They've got CC and Hughes + burnett, we've got Dickey, Pelfrey, Niese + ollie. Because Brian Cashman is "fungible."

This will definitely make me take you more seriously. At least we know he's completely worthless as a reporter now, as opposed to just being partially worthless.

Edgy DC wrote: Oh, and do the world a favor. When the Phillies come to town, treat Ms. Lee like a princess. We would, but the problem is, Mets fans don't buy tickets to see our own team, and as such, the park will be full of Phillies fans busing themselves up for the game and Yankee fans who can't afford to pay MFY Stadium III prices. Edgy DC wrote: And, by the way, this is Derek Jeter's fault. Pass it on. Of COURSE it's Jeter's fault! What right-thinking star pitcher wants to look over his shoulder and see a freaking tree stump with a glove manning the spot where 70 percent of ground balls are hit? I know that's a joke, but you know... Okay ... here's your silver lining: The five man rotation of Gooden, Cone, Viola, Fernandez and Darling never went to the post-season. Happy, now? Yeah, because those teams not making the postseason made me really happy. Thanks for the memories.

True, because Philadelphia fans are diehards who stay with you through thick and thin, and always take the high road. They're known for their polite golf claps and encouraging "tally ho, you'll get him next time!" cheers when one of the hometown heroes strikes out.

The best case scenario for a Lee signing, in order of preference, was this: Red Sox (to screw the Yankees) Any other AL team (to keep him out of the NL and screw the Yankees) Yankees (because their fans are insufferable gits) Mets (a lot of money, but he would undoubtedly have helped) Any NL Central/West team (to keep him out of the division) Marlins (because it would have eaten their whole payroll, which only would have forced them to trade him to one of the above teams in a few years) Nationals (because they suck) Braves (because they're otherwise not that scary) Phillies (fuckin' hell) It's definitely a worst-case scenario for us, at least for the short term. We can hope that he'll get old and/or hurt, but that's all we've got. And if he does get old/hurt, we have to hope they don't Yankee Up and just sign more guys who will kick our asses. I'm going "sad, but hopeful."
