Willets Point

I just notice on the scoreboard that Minnesota played Washington today and was wondering if that is the Nationals first match up against the former Senators? Have they played the Rangers?

Glavine will get 200 losses before he gets 300 wins (if he gets 300 wins).

Glavine, clearly not an ace.

This is allowed, no? Give it up. I've explained it before but each player is awarded points for certain achievements with points subtracted for certain failures. These points are then added up and prorated so that they add up to no more than 10 points. Thus all the points are relative for this one game only, hence the name Player of the Game. There's no set rule that six points must be awarded for every great pitching/hitting performance. In fact taking in account the relative performances of all the Mets player in a particular game, 6 points will likely only be awarded when only one player succeeds while all his teammates fail. Beltran received 3 points for producing 2 of the runs that helped the Mets win, and Sosa received 3 points for not allowing the Tigers to score runs to take that lead away. Seems right to me and there's no shame in it. You'll notice that relatively Sosa and Beltran have far more points than any other player and if I were forced to vote like we did in the old polls, I'd vote for Sosa. He's definitely the player of the game, just not the only contributor. That's the whole reason for awarding Schaefer points. If you want it to be all or nothing, restart the polls. Personally I see people awarding too many points to pitchers when sometimes they are getting 4, 5 & even 6 points even in games the Mets lose! And since starting pitchers only play in 1/5 of the team's games (tops) I don't see any grave injustice in a pitcher not receiving a player of the year award. Should that happen I think it would reflect more on just how much the everyday players suck to not be able to accrue enough points over 162 games.

I sure don't miss Warner Wolf.

These days, Triple Happiness for me is Mets win, Braves lose, Phillies lose. Trippel Happiness is when I have three Belgian ales.

I don't know what you people were all worried about. The Mets are just fine. Sosa kicked ass.

I made a trip out to visit Tiger Stadium during it's last season. I thought it was a great old ballpark on par with Fenway & Wrigley.

Yes, it is definitely panic time.

I just shouldn't come in to watch games in progress. Bad things happen. That and the Mets offense sucks. And the bullpen sucks. I hat baseball.

I entered a bar this evening and saw the last out. I never get to see no hitters. Or even near no hitters.

Just got home. I guess we know who gets blown save of the day.

I'm in agreement with the group for this month's Player & Pitcher of the Month.

I split off and locked the first two months of this monsterously long thread. With all the Yankees obsession here these days we should probably just make a Yankee forum.
