    Hasn't Oakland been doing that for some time?

    Also handy is https://www.justwatch.com/us JustWatch, a search engine where you can search for a movie and find where it's available to stream for free with ads, stream with a subscription, or rent a stream.

    I was wondering if Super Joe's great outing against the Big Unit happened there or at Shea. Looks like it was both.

    I saw it a long time ago. Movies with psychotic murderers as protagonists don't resonate well with me. The ratings are entirely subjective, obviously. I've never heard of Putney Swope, but it looks good!

    I put together a https://othemts.wordpress.com/movie-reviews/list of every movie I've ever watched (that I can remember) with ratings and links to movies I've reviewed, should anyone be interested.

    I optimistically picked April '21 because starting this year would be a bad thing for many people and I don't want bad things to happen.

    Which team has the best bat flips?

    I've been pushing for three regionally-aligned 10-team leagues for decades so I'm game to see how it works. For this year, have the teams play each other 12 times each (6 at home/6 away) and you have a 108-game season ending at the start of October. I don't see why extended playoffs are necessary. Just have the top 3 teams from each division plus the 4th place team with the best record qualify for postseason and you have 10 teams as always. Seed the 1st and 2nd place teams from 1 to 6 by regular season record. The 3rd and 4th place teams play the Wild Card playoffs and then winners are seeded 7 and 8. Then you have a best-of-5 quarterfinal, best-of-7 semifinal, and best-of-7 World Series. The playoffs/World Series can still be complete by early November.

    Who in the wide world of sports would have any interest in watching the 1998 World Series? I think even Yankees fans would find that boring.
  13. Willets Point
    I don't think it matters how many players travel with the team but maybe they can have a maximum number of players and pitchers eligible for each game with the teams declaring which players and pitchers they want active before the game.

    Where can I find the actual fan survey? Or was it just sent out to a random selection of fans?
  15. Willets Point
    Only if the opposing team gets to pick which player participates in the HR Derby.

    "Hmm...I could do an arrangement of 'Meet the Mets' on flute, clarinet, and 4 different saxes, but it just won't sound right without trombone flourishes, and I just don't know how to play trombone."

    The current speculation is that there will be no concerts or sporting events until Fall 2021. I'm thinking the chances of seeing baseball this year are approaching nil.

    I also hated Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House which seemed to be about the First World Problems of Yuppies before Yuppies were even defined. And I love Cary Grant and Myrna Loy. I felt bad for them being in that movie. I hope they were well-renumerated.

    You know, I saw a double header at Shea against the August 1998 and it looks like McGwire hit a double off of Rojas in a pinch hit appearance in the http://leaptoad.com/mets/gamedetail.php?gameno=5868&tabno=Dfirst game. The http://leaptoad.com/mets/gamedetail.php?gameno=5869&tabno=Dnightcap must be the game I was thinking off where Reynoso struck out McGwire three times. This was the Mets' second double header in a row and third for that week!

    =duan post_id=35049 time=1586644577 user_id=99] Mark McGwire - had just been traded to the Cards when I went to my first met game in 1997. He was batting .111 - we gave him a hard time.
  22. Willets Point
    Liked: Lee Mazilli and Reggie Jackson, because they were the New York superstars when I first became aware of baseball as a child. Disliked: Vince Coleman, because he always got on base and stole bases when the Mets were fighting the Cardinals for the NL East titles.

    I have no problem with the teams taking a 3-day bye in rotation over the course of the season. If a central team is moved to even up the leagues it should be Milwaukee or Houston.
  24. Willets Point
    Yeah, I just don't think extending the regular season past September is a good idea (for many reasons - health of players, staff & families, short offseason, the likelihood of a "second wave" of COVID-19 in the autumn, et al). If there's going to be baseball this season I'm of the opinion that we're going to have to accept a significantly shortened season.
  25. Willets Point
    I like this plan too. I assume there will be "bye" days since there's an odd number of teams in each league. I was already thinking that it would make more sense with one league in Florida and one league in Arizona (whether it's American and National or Grapefruit and Cactus). I think trying to play a full season or close to a full season is overly ambitious. Playing so many games with lots of doubleheaders will put a lot of strain on everyone involved and no room for postponements (for weather or for pandemic emergencies). I think if each league basically plays a round-robin with a team facing each other team 6 times (a 3 game "home" series and a 3 game "away" series), you could get an 84-game season that would fit in from mid-June to the end of September with flexibility for postponed games. Then play the postseason in October as usual.
