The Duplicate of the House Ruth Built (split from AON)
seawolf17 replied to Centerfield's topic in New York Mets Talk
I can't imagine why anyone would want that, for any reason. Weird. Centerfield wrote: I wonder why people who get chills playing at Yankee Stadium because Babe Ruth played there don't get the same chills at Fenway. Babe Ruth never played for the Red Sox! Come on, man! Dude is a YANKEE. Next thing you're going to tell me is that Paulie O'Neill won a World Series with the Reds. Whatever, dude! 26 World Championships, baby! -
It always comes full circle here in the Pool.

Tell your client to stop by and we'll have fman punch him (or her) in the neck.

The Duplicate of the House Ruth Built (split from AON)
seawolf17 replied to Centerfield's topic in New York Mets Talk
Well, if they make it the same, then they can still say that Babe Ruth played there. -
Eric Heilman?
-
I want to listen in on a debate between fman and Val. That'd be great entertainment.
-
You know? Call Barry Bonds. How bad could it be? He's not going to make the team worse.
-
Heilman just doesn't have the trade value that he once had. It's either he accepts a demotion to N'awlins or he has to suck it up and keep going out there. (Or you cut him, which isn't happening.) You're not going to get anything worthwhile for him from another team.
-
The kid steals home to win the game and you only give him a point and a half? Tough dad.
-
In defense of SpongeBob TrollPants, we really can't hit him. Wasn't he the guy who walked three guys with the bases loaded? The Mets lost that game anyway, IIRC.
-
No, he just got called up by Toronto last week. Three games, 2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 HR (to pinch-hitter Jason Kubel in a meaningless spot), 2 BB, 2 K.

Yeah, it's not terribly "X"L. It's a little bigger than I'd think an L would be, but definitely not XL. Wears more like a L. I'll wash it today and see what happens. Remember that look from yesterday? Wife gave me the same one when it got here today.

AG/DC wrote: I grew up with Doug Flynn as my hero. If they retired his number, I'd be confused and worried. That said, I wouldn't get upset one way or the other, as long as whatever they did reflected deep and ocnsidered thought with regard to their history, and connecting fans of the future with it, and less regard for kowtowing to to sponsors. So you're saying that retiring 31 for Mike "Papa John's" Piazza sponsored by Banco Popular would be a bad idea. Got it.
-
Yeah. He's pretty brutal.
-
I didn't think he was that bad, and I love Collective Soul... he's a lot better than the twelve-year-old, who's just dreadful.
-
Oh, the look my wife just gave me when I said aloud to myself, "Ooh! Folks have started getting their Crane Pool shirts!"

Willets Point wrote: I could see 31 being jointly retired for Piazza and Franco. I don't think it would violate the Mets standards to honor two beloved sons that way. I actually think that would be neat.
-
I think we need a little more perspective before we retire his number, that's all. It's great to be emotional, and I love Mike Piazza like few other Mets I've watched. But will his legacy stand the test of time? Maybe. Look back in five or ten years... and if it does, then you retire it.
-
No on the retired number, yes on the interlocking NY in bronze in Cooperstown. And yes on Piazza Day this summer. Too bad he couldn't catch on with anyone.

IGT #42 - Mets at Braves - May 20 (Game 1)
seawolf17 replied to Gwreck's topic in Archived Game Threads
There were definitely two Paul Runges during that era. I remember that really confusing me as a kid. -

seawolf17 replied to Gwreck's topic in Archived Game Threads
Words just can't explain how badly I feel for Aaron Heilman. The guy just can't get out of his own way. -
="Gwreck"]We still have more decisions to make after this doubleheader today: who will start on Saturday? Sat May 24 - TBA v. Jorge De La Rosa I haven't pitched since Little League, circa 1985, so I'm on full rest.

FWIW, Castillo and Alou both have great career numbers against him. -

Schneider is 10-for-37 career off Glavine... maybe that's a factor? Castro only has four ABs off him.
