Presale for Citi Credit Card holders starts in 3 minutes. http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/nym/ticketing/presale.jsp?presale=citi&partnerId=RI133U661G-L1093 I don't know if it enforces the purchase must be on a Citi Card or if it's just the entry. I'll gladly share the first 6 digits of my card if you want to try. Going for Opening Day and I guess a Subway Series dealio. Didn't get any real feedback on which bobbleheads friends would like to go to, so holding off on anything else. Probably not likely to be flex-priced out of my range any time soon anyway.

metsmarathon wrote: we getting any more teams? scheduling wise, i can basically do any night after the first week of march, except the 14th, 20th and 21st. the first week of march, i'm a single parent. the other three days are for volleyball playoffs. We've got..6. yeah, would like 2 more at least. 8 is a round number right? Were there others of you that are joining that haven't yet? Also if someone wants to get a feel for the draft, I sorta accidentally claimed a team in another league that has a couple of players already, but I probably can't make their draft so if someone wanted to get a feel for it, and do me a favor..

Edgy DC wrote: Still going over my head, but OK. it's the bar were he to negotiate an extension today. what 'market value' might be, and also what the Mets will be willing to pay, could be VASTLY different when Wright actually signs, based on his performance, the Picard case, and many other things that I'm not sure how much this really sets a bar. Hell, it's even possible it's not the Wilpons negotiating that contract.

Edgy DC wrote: Why wouldn't Wright be able to sign a new contract until then? I meant he _could_ not sign until then. Especially since it doesn't seem like the Mets can afford 6/100 right now.

Edgy DC wrote: The bar is set for David Wright's potential value as his buddy and rival and close comp Ryan Zimmerman inks a six-year, $100-million extension going through 2019. The contract includes a full no-trade clause and a $24 million option for 2020 (2020!). I wonder though, as Wright could not sign a new contract until before the 2014 season. Things may be very different (specifically the global, and Wilpon, economic climate)

Gwreck wrote: It's more analogous to a police officer taking critical evidence...say, an alleged murder weapon...and taking it to his house for safekeeping rather than the evidence locker at the police station. As a result, the evidence is inadmissable in the trial. sure, the knife _might_ have been tampered with. But how would the officer get access to the victims blood after the fact and get the murderers fingerprints on it?

metirish wrote: I thought Baumer blew the ninth innings, IIRC the question was about the 20 no hitters tossed since 2001......the Angels guy bid ten and Baumer instead of bidding eleven sat and forced Shane to name the ten he bid. Baumer was losing and needed Shane to miss one to win, he could have named the eleven I thought, of course Shane probably would have upped his bid again......as it was he rattled of the ten with ease. that was Baumer's admitted strategy (admitted during the title of this thread): making the other guy mess up because it's easy to mess up. (like perhaps saying Gallaraga?) But that bid seems too low, and this category also seems less prone to making a mistake.

Edgy DC wrote: I'd like a "not guilty" ruling to be based not so much on "The samples were mishandled and therefore could theoretically trigger a false positive" as "The samples were mishandled and therefore could must've triggered a false positive, as demonstrated by my 30 negative tests in the next seven days." He did submit 30 more tests, right? This seems to be like when an attorney or witness misspeaks and mentions something they're not allowed to in court and the judge tells the court recorder to strike it from the record and the jury is just supposed to forget it happened.

metirish wrote: Mike Francesa told Alderson that it's too much for Tejada to be the everyday SS and lead off hitter...." too much, just too much for him, he's a young guy, too much".... Francesa talks so it must be so Francesa picks one or two talking points and then just repeats them all Spring so he doesn't have to watch or read anything. Then he takes off all summer and spends the end of the season basically discussion the changes in those talking points over the course of the season. Broadcasting for Dummies 101.

Edgy DC wrote: And walk rates tend to stabilize more than batting averages. Yeah, it's easy to just look at 2011 for this (especially since that's basically all Tejada has), but I think you have to look at the whole set to try to figure out what teh 2012 number will be. I think Torres might be the fastest of the bunch as well, although Tejada and Murphy won't clog up the basepaths either. Maybe Tejada learns to be a better basestealer, and maybe Murphy tries to be a basestealer in that role, even though I suspect his uber-aggressiveness paired with a lack of real speed would probably be bad. Tejada's the least likely to hit for any power though, so I wouldn't mind putting him in the leadoff position where he'll have the least amount of guys on base. He's also shown a pretty good ability to foul pitches and see a lot of them. One of those epic 12 pitch AB he seems to get occasionally would be interesting leading off.

attgig wrote: when are you guys drafting? I may be in depending on your schedule. I just got too much going on in my life and a draft coming up this week. I return Friday from the city of sin and can focus a bit more. what draft dates are good for people? I'm fond of a weekday night personally, less likely to have major offline-engagements. 7ish? 8ish?

Edgy DC wrote: Well, I think (though you didn't ask and were, in fact, never going to ask) you early exiters should look for those posters that brought everything screechingly to a standstill (*cough* Valadius *cough*) and jump back into the contest by playing his or her hand. I'll be back from losing money betting 8 every time on Roulette in Vegas soon..I guess I could play someone's hand if that would help.

Resuming Baseball Activities: Injuries in 2012
Ceetar replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
metirish wrote: I know they have their affiliation with the HSS but do they need to fly a player from Florida to NY for what sounds like routine tests? I read this more of a doctor thing than a Mets thing. But I don't get it either. Somewhere (and I'm not paying a whole deal of attention) I saw someone say that the Mets were being extra cautious and doing extra tests or something this year. -
It looks like Jeff was bad-photoshopped into that picture.

metsmarathon wrote: mind if i invite a buddy of mine into the league? this is right up his alley, and it seems like we might need the help getting a decent number of teams. he's a cards fan, but we shouldn't hold it against him too much. Doesn't bother me. Should have plenty of room I imagine, although I haven't looked closely at how many we have since I'm on Vacation.

Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart and Greg Prince

G-Fafif wrote: Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart and Greg Prince all mentioned in the same New Yorker article. Hadn't even thought of the juxtaposition. But I sure hope somebody else is picking up the check in this foursome. They're all comedians. Inevitably they're gonna convince you to order lavishly and then sneak out the back and laugh. -
