    Edgy DC wrote: The problem is that any appearance by Rivera would likely be in a game-critical situation and your chips have to be on the right side of the table at such moments. Exactly. Chipper, however, it'd likely be a situational thing, but unless it's a game-on-the-line situation, I'd honor his memory.

    From Joseph Durso's story in the Times: For the occasion, the Mets went into an exaggerated shift on defense: all three outfielders shallow, conceding Colbert the long ball, and all four infielders drawn up tight with Garrett and Bud Harrelson stacked near third base. So, on the second pitch, Colbert bounced a hard ball to the right side between MIlner and Felix Millan, who made a tumbling stop on the dirt and who even threw to first base for the out -- the second out. But THomas, meanwhile, was scoring from third with the winning run... Sounds like a brain fart on Millan's part, as the throw to first probably didn't matter, outside of knocking a miniscule percentage point off Apodaca's ERA with the out.

Who�s your favorite player?� The kid mumbled something inaudible. �Well you have to say that,� we heard Wright say before they moved out of our earshot. �Because I�m walking with you!� What you don't know is that the kid mumbled "derekjeter," and then just as they moved out of earshot, David Wright whacked the kid upside the head with a T-shirt gun. "WHERE'S YOUR HERO NOW, KID? WHERE IS HE?"

    Dickey vs Strasburg? Cool.

    I really could watch this over and over. Plus it has one of the great matter-of-fact sports headlines of all time. "Yankee Fan On Cellphone Catches Ground Rule Double With His Face." http://deadspin.com/5576040/yankee-fan-on-cellphone-catches-ground-rule-double-with-his-face

    Yowza. We had that happen a few months ago when someone who shall remain nameless (not me) left the hose on for 24 hours in the backyard. I moved all the important stuff up after that.

    1990? Go figure. I like the rest of the seasons at the top of that list, though. It seems like everything that's happened this year (best homestand ever, winning streaks, etc.) has only ever happened in one of the four winning years (69, 86, 00, 06). Either this team is setting itself up for something special, or a disappointment that makes 2007-08 pale in comparison.

    Well, the Nats can't win with Strasburg. Might as well just trade him to the Yankees now.

    I didn't think this thread needed any actual content.

    It has to suck to be the TBG (Token Black Guy) in these interviews. Sorry, Bo.

    Was that a real cover? Neat.

    Lost in the story of the Edwin Jackson game was the tidbit that the D'backs granted permission for coach Bo Porter to interview for the job.

How is the MFY infield homegrown? I'm confused. The Reds' 3B is Scott Rolen, and Casey McGehee of the Brewers and Elvis Andrus of the Rangers came up through the Cubs' and Braves' systems, respectively.

    Amnesiac?!? Hell no. I still have nightmares about it. The Mets couldn't hit him; it was unreal. It was that season that spawned my hatred for all things Marlinian.

    The Phillies should also stay in the visiting dugout/clubhouse, eat shittier clubhouse food, and have venomous spiders in their bullpen.

    HA! SUCK IT, MARLINS! Psst! Jerry. Come here for a second. I want you BUNTING like a fuckin' madman this weekend. Show these American Leaguers what National League Brand Base Ball is all about. Bunt, bunt, bunt. Throw a double switch in there. Hell, a TRIPLE switch. And when the dust is settled and we've lost four in a row, clinging to life in third place... THEN we will bring Bobby home where he belongs, with Benny Agbayani as our hitting coach and Cook and Wendell coaching in the bullpen.

If only we had another centerfielder to get us through to Carlos. Hey, is GMJ still available?
