I thought we agreed to never mention that name in this space ever again.

YAY Rochester! Not big enough, but that would rule.

Right. But that's (a) my prerogative as a fan, to despise a former player who I think harmed my team, and ( part of the job of the modern closer. People will only remember the blown saves.
-
Sometimes -- like specifically when talking about guys I don't like, such as the aforementioned Senor Benitez -- I don't like when people bring stats into the equation. As far as I'm concerned, Armando Benitez blew every single one of his save opportunities as a Met. And that's the way I'll always remember him.

Nah, voters like anguish. And besides, if they vote Gil Hodges in, then who will the old-timers rally around?

I hated Rich Becker. Struck out every single time he came to the plate as a Met.

For posterity. Anyone actually go in and try one of those sandwiches?

Can't give a guy a nickname if he already has one... I don't know that "Billy Wags" is necessarily Hall of Fame Nickname material, but...

The Adopt-a-Prospect Forum, Circa October 2004

It's there, but it's not there. I think it's all really just gone. -
I think it blows that almost all the good stuff on espn.com is now exclusive "insider" territory: Stark, Neyer, Gammons, all the Sports Guy Archives, etc. Not cool, ESPN.

Pedro threw a no-hitter for me "last season" in Out Of The Park. So there are some programs that think it's possible.

Beckett and Lowell to Boston (And Other Deals '05-'06)
seawolf17 replied to Valadius's topic in New York Mets Talk
And Beckett was the bait to get someone to take on Lowell's contract. Lowell was awful last year, and he's got two years left at (I think) nine million per. That's a lot for a guy who's scuffling. If Lowell returns to his old self, and Beckett can keep his fingers healthy, then this is a solid deal for the Sox. -
I know Castillo was injured at the end of last year... something with his shoulder, IIRC. Not the end of the world for a top-of-the-order guy, but it was affecting his infield play -- he couldn't throw. I'm not necessarily against sticking him out there and batting him in the two-hole 160 times next year, but there is a small red flag there.

How could Willie favor guys who he knows?!?! What kind of nepotism crap is this?!?! He should be dragged outside and shot immediately. Gimme a break. I didn't like Ice any more than any of you, but fact is, veteran guys who have been there, done that are usually going to get the benefit of the doubt over some random scrub rookie when it comes to bench spots. Sometimes it works (Roberto Hernandez, Marlon Anderson), sometimes it doesn't (Kerry Robinson, any one of the Mel Rojas Memorial Roster Spot holders).

According to the Voltron Wikipedia entry: ]Sven Holgersson (Japanese Name : Takashi Shirogane)- Sven was the second in command who piloted the Blue Lion and wore a black uniform in the very beginning of the series. In episode 6, he was badly injured during an attack by Haggar and was sent away to be healed. Allura replaced him as the Blue Lion's pilot. His age is about the same as Keith's. Sven now resides on the Planet Pollux with Princess Romelle and Prince Bandor, both cousins of Allura. Sven was always very quiet and spoke only when he had something important to say. Though he may not look it, he is a very emotional person, and his heart is always leading his mind in any decision. Apparently, it was rehab that he got sent to, not a slave colony. So there you go.

]"He felt much more comfortable in centre field than in right field," Minaya said. "I had to take that into account." It's funny to see Omar speaking Canadian.
-
]The Mets decide that instead of their new ballpark being a homage to Ebbetts Field, they will build a venue that is the exact replica of Olympic Stadium. What's sad is that this sounds like something that might actually happen.

Were they like Voltron? Or was Voltron a ripoff of that?

Valent must have run over someone's kitten or something, because he just keeps getting buried. I know he's not exactly Ted Williams offensively, but you get the feeling like he just needs a chance. Problem is, lefty first baseman/outfield types like Valent are a dime a dozen.
-
Recap, Piazza is a Type-A free agent; if they offer him arbitration, then the Mets are entitled to draft pick compensation from any team who signs him.

Oh, I get it! Trachsel comes back to the rotation, but there's no room for him because everyone's pitching so well, so he gets all mad and turns into some sort of female bird superhero. Remind me next Halloween; Steve Trachsel, Female Bird Superhero would make a great costume.
