    This is a very "dire" date in Mets history:="UMDB"]Today is October 22Transactions:New York Mets traded Duffy Dyer to the Pittsburgh Pirates for Gene Clines on October 22, 1974.New York Mets released Dyar Miller on October 22, 1981.

    Will they give John Franco a WS ring? They released him months ago. That'd be odd. Either way, Go Sox. As much as I love Biggio/Bagwell/Berkman, I can't let Clemens and Pettitte win.

    Dear God, Edgy, that's awful. (In case you don't want to know, it's a bad Ricky Martin "Livin' La Vida Loca" parody featuring Mets lyrics from 2000.)

    Yeah, you're right. It's impossible without cheating. Sorry. Unfair question. It's Dan Schatzeder (1990) and CJ Nitkowski (2001), 5 2/3 innings each.

    Elster- Awesome. I just got it. Very funny.

    Wow. That thing is scary.

    Considering the guy's username is "binghamton_mets"... I'm going to guess that the team is releasing these on eBay, not some guy. Clements, Hietpas, Hill, Caligiuri, Edwards, Harper, and Malek all available now.

    Hey, say what you will about Heredia, but only two pitchers in Mets history threw more innings as a Met without giving up a single run. QUIZ! Name them.

    Annie, thanks for checking in. Sorry about last night; go get 'em on Wednesday! (Except I'll be rooting for the Cardinals.)
  10. seawolf17
    No. I don't see any reason to walk Pujols there. That's an unfair second-guess. Your closer has been so good all year; you send him out there to get outs, not pitch around guys.

    The Long Island Press grew from the ashes of the Island Ear a few years ago. It's a free weekly, available at several thousand 7-11s, train stations, and grocery stores near you. (Or at least near me.) It's largely drivel, but their album reviews are still okay, and their sports section -- although small -- is not bad. They "played" the 2004-05 NHL season (The Flyers won!) during the strike, and they keep "standings" on hockey fights involving the locals. They're the paper who also started the writing career of Amy Fisher, who writes a weekly column. They also helped expose the Newsday circulation fiasco that caused several bigwigs to come crashing down, I believe.

    Oh, I lost it a long time ago. Between my morning migraine and the blood gushing out of my chin, I forgot who called the game last night. My apologies to the esteemed Mr. McCarver. On the distance question: even Baseball Tonight's page on espn.com doesn't list the distance. I think it's because nobody could find a tape measure that long, and even computers can't count that high. edit: I know he was referring to Texas. I'm just saying his geography was a little faulty.

    Also lost in last night's broadcast was Tim McCarver's statement that "the largest state in the U.S. has never hosted a World Series game"! No shit, Tim. It's because they don't have a freaking major league baseball team, dick. I don't know what happened to Timmy, who I thought was so good when he was doing Mets games when I was a kid, but he's losing it.

    That Pujols homer was sick. He crushed it. Good comparison on the Dave Henderson blast. In Bill Simmons lingo, that was a Level 2 Stomach Punch loss.

    Plus he had crazy hair and wore his batting helmet weird, which to my ten-year-old mind was cool.
  18. seawolf17
    Part of me says yes; he's looked a little older, a little slower, and hasn't been so lights-out defensively. That said, though, there aren't really too many other catchers out there who can do what he can do; so I wouldn't think his price dropped that dramatically.

    Happy Birthday Mets, Cooby's late aunt, and Kevin McReynolds, still my favorite Met ever.

    And Mabry hits a slow roller in the hole on the right side, but somehow Eric Bruntlett gets to it, and somehow gets it to Adam Everett for one, who somehow gets it over to first to get Mabry -- who apparently must have run into a construction detour or something on the way down the line -- at first for the ol' 4-6-3 game-ending DP. Astros up 3 games to 1 heading into tomorrow. Wow.

    The Cards get runners on the corners with nobody out, down by a run, in the top of the ninth. A bouncer to third, Ensberg comes home and throws out Pujols. Nobody called time, though, and Larry Walker snuck into third base without a throw. So now it's first-and-third again with one out. Heads up play by Walker.

    Neat stat -- three consecutive CGs by White Sox pitchers in this series... the first time that has happened in the postseason since: October 6, 1973 - Seaver October 7, 1973 - Matlack October 8, 1973 - Koosman

    Phil Cuzzi is slowly going crazy behind the plate. He threw out LaRussa in the bottom of the seventh for arguing balls and strikes, and now he just threw out Edmonds on a bad call on a 3-1 pitch (Cuzzi called it strike 2, Edmonds said something and got tossed). The last time a manager was thrown out of a postseason game was 1999... Jimy Williams, I think.

    This is hysterical. ]Antonio Alfonseca Once Again Leads Major-League Relievers In Fingers MIAMI�Florida Marlins pitcher Antonio Alfonseca dominated the MLB in appendages for the ninth straight year, finishing the 2005 season with a league-leading 12 fingers. Alfonseca, who made his debut with the Marlins in 1997 and wasted no time making this particular statistical category his own, led the NL for almost the entire season, only falling into a close second during an unusual two-week period in mid-August. Alfonseca's performance will trigger a $1 million bonus, as the Marlins signed him to an incentive-laden, oft-criticized, finger-enumeration-based contract. "Antonio has been through a lot this season, including some elbow problems and a trip to the DL," manager Jack McKeon said. "But in the end, he just went out there and had a lot of fingers." There was once again a tie for second place behind Alfonseca, with 214 pitchers amassing 10 fingers each, followed by Bob Wickman, who finished last with 9.7.

    And once again, CF, my least favorite part of the new forum rears its ugly head, as nobody will get your comment once I post four more times.
