  1. A: Six people who have never been in my kitchen. P.S. Weird: A Google image search for "cliff claven" (no quotes) yields this image as the nineteenth image on the page: (It's because of an espn.com Page 2 article that mentions Clavin, but it still comes across as odd.)
  2. Outside The Lines, Dugout style. ]STEROIDS_BobLey_STEROIDS: You have fans? Really? A journeyman middle reliever? GrimFandango: well yeah I mean STEROIDS_BobLey_STEROIDS: Hahaha, I bet they call themselves "Grimsleyheads". What's a Grimsleyhead, just a guy wearing a baseball cap? Do they high-five every time you earn a "hold"? If I send a self-addressed stamped envelope can I sign up to be one of the Grimsley Gang? GrimFandango: Well anyway, I know that a lot of these guys who use these sorts of drugs have to put up with a lot of scrutiny, and STEROIDS_BobLey_STEROIDS: Yeah, yeah, but you see, those guys are actually good. That's why they're scrutinized. You're the guy who comes in during the bottom of the 7th, squeezes the rosin bag, throws four balls outside and in the dirt, and then walks to the dugout.

  4. You mean this. Or, if you prefer, in French. Or set to song. Or "Bird Killer," Ozzy Osbourne style. YouTube might just be the second-best site on the Internet. (Behind, of course, the UMDB.)
  5. My grandfather did a lot of traveling for work. I was a Cardinals fan as a kid (they were my first Little League team), and he brought me back a Cardinals hat and shirt from a trip to St. Louis -- I thought they were just about the greatest gifts ever.

  7. I'm stunned that Jeter didn't run out there and make that play.
  8. You can vote online 25 times [u:e893d4ca3f]per e-mail address[/u:e893d4ca3f]. So all of you with multiple e-mail addresses, here's your job: (1) Vote all Mets. (2) Vote all Royals.
  9. My wife said that her sister had a friend in school who turned 8 years old on 8/8/88. That's kinda neat.

Or maybe he did not want to needlessly incur the whining of certain Mets suits who are sensitive when it comes to anyone in the media casting aspersions on Milledge. It cracks me up when people want to read into silence. Keith didn't say anything, but somehow Raissman immediately draws two possible conclusions. Exactly. Maybe he just had a mouthful of lemonade, jerkass.
  11. I was a fan; I know he wasn't the best technical umpire in the world, but he was fun to watch. He had a lot of good stories in the old Ron Luciano books.
  12. See, the thing I don't get is how he "made a show of" anything. He didn't point at the other team, didn't hold up the game, didn't grandstand, didn't stop and sign autographs, didn't run into the stands and buy a hot dog, didn't moon the Giants' dugout. He just slapped some hands on his way out. I don't even think he slowed down in his trot out there; he just took a slight detour. Big frigging whoop.
  13. I don't know that Lugo gives us anything we don't already have; I see no point in trading anything for him. Vidro... if he can stay on the field, he's a nice fit.
  14. Mets Career Pitching Steals Leaders: Seaver 4 (2 in 1967, 1969, 1973) Frisella 2 (1967, 1968) Selma 1 (1968) Ryan 1 (1970) Koosman 1 (1975) Leary 1 (1984) Darling 1 (1985) Fernandez 1 (1986) Gooden 1 (1991) Hershiser 1 (1999) Seo 1 (2004)
  15. What Vic said, much better than I could have.

Edgy DC wrote: An important part of this is, SportsCenter being what it is, that even though the Mets are done with the Giants (until October, anyway), there's a lot of other players in the league who saw this premature display in a game the Mets --- HA! --- lost. They all have one less reason to care, if they're down by six and twelve games out in September, if a few of their pitches get away from them against the Mets. Fine; then let them get away. I'm not saying the kid doesn't need a slice of humble pie; it's somewhat obvious that he's flashy. But you know, those '86 Mets were awfully cocky too. And we know how that turned out.
  17. In the NBA, I've seen players high-fiving fans courtside after big dunks. You have the whole Lambeau Leap phenomenon. It didn't impede the game, he didn't show up anyone. I don't see a double standard; he's heading that way anyway out to right field, let him recognize the fans and let them recognize him. No different than if he'd tipped his cap and/or waved.
  18. I enjoyed it; I agree completely with nymr.
  19. The wondeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr of it aaaalllllll.................. Fox. Woods.
  20. Damn you, Randy Winn. edit: Side thought -- remember when the Pirates had Marvell Wynne and Jim Winn on the same team? That was weird. I also thought it was weird that they had a Winn and a Walk (Bob) on the same pitching staff.

  23. There was definitely a package of Swedish Fish on the shelf behind Willie Randolph in that dugout shot.
