He posted in this thread... from the past!

Step right up and greet the Mets...

Yes, but she's a girl; her name is **undisclosed**. She's been there two years or so, I think. She just started blogging on the Stevens Tech admissions site -- something I'm doing for Stony Brook also, so we talked about that a bit the other night. edit: On the "real names" comment. I suppose that makes sense.

You went to Stevens Tech? Our table is usually next to theirs at college nights. Their Connecticut rep is great.

What does Cory Lidle have to do with this? Confused.

I think Elster's point was that Kevin Kennedy doesn't decide the Mets' rotation, the Mets do, and that since Willie said they wouldn't make a decision until the morning, Kennedy was basically just blowing smoke.

As you might have guessed, the CBS Radio Broadcast Team Who Will Remain Nameless were beating that one to death also. I wish ESPN Radio didn't suck. I'm not even turning on the TV tonight.

I love Willets' creative bumps. Another Topps turn-of-the-century design set hit the market this week, the 2006 Turkey Red. Modeled after the old T3 Turkey Red set from the early 1900s, the set features very cool old-style artwork. http://www.vintagecardboard.net/gallery/cyyoungt3.jpghttp://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/coyote47sc/K16.jpg An original T3 Cy Young and a somewhat newer original 2006 Turkey Red card I'm still working on the Allen & Ginter set mentioned earlier in this thread, so I don't know that I'll spend a lot of time or money on this one, but I did buy a pack just for kicks today and I pulled a Billy Wagner "white variation" (instead of the grey border like on the Wright above, the border is white -- they have red and black variations in varying degrees of short-printings as well), so that was nice.

21-0. That's what I thought.
-
Padres. Piazza, Cameron, Peavy... too many guys I like on their side.
-
Twins. If it ain't gonna be the Metsies, I want Joe Nathan to bring the trophy to Stony Brook this winter when he visits.
-
I have plenty of confidence in Maine. Honestly, I have confidence in Oliver Perez; I think there are lot worse options out there. I wouldn't mind giving him a go if the need arose.
-
Wow. I don't know that namecalling one of our most respected posters is the answer. I'm always up for intelligent, two-sided discussion; that's pretty low.
-
Definitely a you-had-to-be-there moment.

Yancy Street Gang wrote: If the Mets get two losses, you'll be hoping for a Game 5. I'm hoping they never even get that first loss. Ideally, the Mets will win three consecutive close and exciting games. No, ideally win the games by the scores of 16-0, 13-2, and 14-0. But I'll take three W's any way they can get 'em.

Ned Fengus wrote: Well, he's being forced out as manager of the nats, says he doesn't want to manage anymore but doesn't want to retire from the game. He still feels he can contribute to a team in some capacity, and I'm in agreement with that. Can he throw strikes? We could use another arm until Pedro comes back. Seriously, the guy's a legend in every way, yet never seems to get the props he deserves. WTG, Frank.

I know it's just one game, but this really does make you feel a little better.

What Greg said. The problem is, they've been blowhards for so long, they're some sort of institution. I'll admit it, I listen semi-regularly, because the alternative (up the dial, Mr. Yankee Face-Sucker) is even worse and every couple of weeks they actually have an interesting discussion.

Married, not dead. Sharon? (This is where I'd put one of those little tongue-sticking out emoticons if they were allowed.)

="Mr. Zero"]Oliva didn't not hit home runs. hit like 220, and 32 one year. but he really played only 11 full seasons out of an 13-14 year career. not even 2000 hits. Hell, Kevin McReynolds hit 211 home runs. Doesn't mean he's a HOFer. No on Oliva. (I know, I know, it's a terrible comparison. I'm just a big McReynolds fan, and this is the first and only time he'll ever be mentioned in a HoF discussion of any kind.) I'd say yes on Dick Allen, but that brings up the issue of Jim Rice, who should be in already. No Rice, no Allen. I guess Torre's in as a manager, although I don't like it. I'd say we're being overly sentimental and New York-biased on Hodges, but I guess he has a case. He was too far before my time for me to argue one way or the other. I guess you could make a Hodges-like case for Santo too; I don't know. No Lyle without Gossage, no Munson ever. Everyone else on the list is a no for me.

="Frayed Knot"]="Elster88"]That's the greatest chant to come out of Shea. It's not going to be a great chant until it starts coming spontaneously. As of now it only shows up when prompted by the sound system, putting it only a few notches above; ev'rybody clap yo hands! I thought it did come spontaneously; we've been to Shea twice, and both times it was started every time up by a bunch of fans. I thought the PA system picked up on it and ruined it.

Yet another reason why Jose Reyes should be the NL MVP.

No wonder all the advertisers pulled out of the "Cooby & Yancy Book Review Hour."
