Someone register Valadius for CPF 110: Introduction To Thread Titling this spring.

I know this is blasphemy to the longtime fans, but whenever I think of Jon Matlack, I think of this:

The other problem with that statue (besides the fact that nobody should want to immortalize Doc) is that a "mound conference" statue would suck, because they'd be facing each other. Can we make a statue of this? It would just float in the air.

Benson Trade Rumor Thread (Julio? Vazquez? Pudge?)
seawolf17 replied to a topic in New York Mets Talk
Looks like Vazquez isn't the answer either: Javy Vazquez dealt to White Sox -
Let's pool our money, buy them, and ruin them.

]The team did drop the price of low-end bronze and value tickets. For the 42 games that qualify as bronze and value, tickets drop from $12 to $9. I'm a big fan of that move.

For the record, I just want to sign him to see him set the club record for Most Career Fingers.
-
Yes! Sign Jimmy Six Fingers! One of my favorite pitchers.

I apologize, Bret. I guess I always assume that you're being caustic just to be caustic.

Come on, Bret. There's nothing "arbitrary" about a ranking -- by wins, losses, percentage, or anything else. There's no value judgment in that statistic; by your logic, Kenny Greer is the best pitcher in Mets history. Get over yourself.

We trust Yancy. Bring on Frank Thomas!

I think Edgy's suspicious. I think I am too.

Steve- Thanks for taking the time to visit with us. A few questions from me: (1) You mentioned on your UMDB post that your broadcast career ended in 1997. Do you still watch televised sports? Is there a broadcaster that you particularly enjoy? Any you particularly dislike? (Not necessarily personally, just style.) (2) With all the innovations in broadcast technology (i.e., instant replay, expanded graphical packages, laser strike zones), is there anything you wish you had at your disposal when you were in the booth?

HEY! Ain't no such thing as dinosaurs. But apparently, there is Jesus.

Julio Franco is so old, he was the DJ at... BLANK.
-
Me neither, Elster. He's too young and too unpolished. He could be Derek Jeter, or he could be UL Washington. It's too soon to tell. That's why I'm not ready to throw a long-term deal at him yet, or to pronounce him the savior of the franchise. Did I pick up a Jose Reyes Topps Rookie card just in case? Yes I did. But I'm not sold... yet. The player most similar to Jose Reyes, according to b-r.com, is Mike Caruso, a SS for the ChiSox in 98-99. In two full-time seasons, at age 21 and 22, he stole 34 bases, hit ten triples, batted .275, made almost sixty errors, then vanished off the face of the planet -- twenty ABs with KC in '02, and that's it. I'm not saying that's going to happen to Jose, but I'm just saying we need to temper our expectations.

Barf. I think I'll end up liking Julio Franco, but I don't like this move right now.
-
Omar might as well sign Gordie Howe... he's younger than Franco.
-
Why, because they have other Japanese players? Doubt it.
-
And Todd Jones is now a Tiger, so there goes Vic's theory.
-
How great would that be!! Let's say Mike signs a one-year deal with someone who turns out to be a non-contender. We're two games out of the wild card spot, it's July 29, and the best right-handed bat we have on the bench is Chris Woodward. I'd send a mid-level prospect somewhere to bring back Mike for two months.
