  1. In their defense... 2018: Jarred Kelenic, who finished 1367th out of 1374 MLB hitters in WAR in 2021 Simeon Woods Richardson, who had a 5.91 ERA in AA in 2021 and they kept Carlos Cortes, who wasn't great, but did hit 14 HR and went .257/.332/.487 in Bing last year 2016: Justin Dunn, who's already 26 and has been league-average at best over 25 starts spread out over three seasons Anthony Kay, who's older than Dunn and has a 5.50 ERA in parts of three seasons and they kept Pete Alonso, who is Pete Alonso 2019: Josh Wolf, who had a 5.35 ERA in single-A this year and they kept Brett Baty and Matt Allan and since he conveniently left off 2017: David Peterson is a reasonably productive major league starter Mark Vientos went .281/.346/.580 in Bing last year So I get it, yeah, but still.

  3. I mean, it's kinda shitty not to be able to include Dom and Stro in there, but that was cool.
  4. Pete Rose is like WHAT THE---
  5. True. I realize I'm fortunate to be a collector of a team like the Mets with a comparably attainable completion level. And I also know that there's a likelihood that some percentage of the signatures I have aren't real, although I do what I can to minimize that risk. But still - guys like Kelvin Chapman and Dave Liddell just refuse to participate in the hobby, which is mildly irritating. I know checking guys like Gil Hodges and Danny Frisella off my list are going to be a heavy lift, but for the guys of my generation? Bleh.
  6. That DiLauro article made me smile. I still write those letters for my collection, although I've pretty much tapped out all the guys who are willing to sign through the mail at this point. It is admittedly frustrating to know that there are guys out there I'll never be able to add to the collection because they refuse to sign, but hey, it is what it is.
  7. I think we're all in agreement that David Wright falls well short of Hall consideration, yes. Doesn't mean we have to be happy about it, but I'd think we all agree.
  8. Beltre should, and will. Mauer probably should, and will. Utley will get close, but guys like Bobby Grich and Lou Whitaker have similar cases and they're not in. I don't think any of the rest will.
  9. Wright and Reyes aren't even going to break 20% and it's going to make me sad.
  10. Man, there is just a fraction of a second between those three photos on those cards. But for a guy with a short career, he had some memorable card photos.

  11. You know, voting is wild sometimes. Could you imagine at the end of the 2011 season, coming off a ROY and six straight top-ten MVP finishes (including one win), and an *average* of 41 HR and 123 RBI over those seven seasons, that Ryan Howard wouldn't even make it past one ballot?
  12. Also, I'm really crossing my fingers for a Kenan Thompson Big Papi appearance on SNL this weekend, because I think that character is hilarious. [media=youtube]luWBghJpx9I[/media]
  13. Who's the guy sitting with him in that shot? I feel like I should recognize him too.
  14. I remember Coney occasionally, but not regularly. Same with Aguilera, IIRC?
  15. Unquestionably the best Met "I" ever, but has to be below Terry Leach on the sidewinders, no? (I'm forgetting someone obvious, I'm sure of it.) Mets All-Time I Rankings: 1. Jeff Innis 2. Jason Isringhausen 3. Ryota Igarashi 4. Kaz Ishii Mets All-Time Sidewinder Rankings: 1. Terry Leach 2. Jeff Innis 3. Joe Smith 4. Chad Bradford 5. Steve Reed 6. Jake Reed 7. Greg Burke 8. Darren O'Day
  16. ...looking to get home to be with his family during his final days. https://www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-fly-jeff-homehttps://www.gofundme.com/f/please-help-fly-jeff-home Cancer sucks. I hope he and his family find peace.
  17. Mauricio is definitely blocked here, so yeah, he seems to be most likely to be moved.
  18. Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: I don't recall a thing about his game, what pitches he threw or what. He was just a guy, he had a chance, and then he left. This. You could tell me he made two starts as a Met or he made 20. I have no idea.
  19. Hey! New house! Neat.
  20. I still say that title should have gone to 00 DAYS, but alas.
  21. Which for him, was probably the right deal. HoJo was clearly the heir apparent, and he wasn't going to get the ABs he got with Baltimore in 1987 if he was here.
  22. Absolutely thrilled for him, for us, for everyone. Brilliant.
  23. Mostly because the press runs out of Z tiles.
