Looked for themetfairy, didn't see her in that section. Doh

I wonder if they paid back the loan to MLB? must have right? The press release claims they invested more money themselves into the team to cover the 2011 losses.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: I suspect that the Mets are less desperate for help than they were a few months ago. I don't know why that would be, but it seems like it may be the case. Works for me. Whatever makes the owners not desperate.

Welcome to the bigs. Make us proud.

Bay could have been called safe merely on interference, as Buck isn't allowed to block the plate without the ball in his possession, but his slide wasn't even close enough to the baseline to be interfered with. I guess it's an interpretation..he slid along the baseline and .. I dunno, tripped on himself and rolled away.

bmfc1 wrote: Bay: "I forgot where home plate was. It's not like I'm touching home very often." nah, he watches the ball pass over the thing a dozen times a day.

Frayed Knot wrote: Not sure what they're arguing about - Bay never came close. Bay: "I must've accidentally flopped over the plate somewhere during the five second the catcher was fumbling with the baseball right?"

Edgy DC wrote: No, he Ike took the job from Jacobs after a month of excelling in the minors while Jacobs was failing in the majors. Murphy later got spiked during a rehab game. Not semantics. Semantics in the difference between a new injury and a setback. But Murphy did have a setback, coupled with Jacobs sucking and Ike anti-sucking. (blowing? no that's not right) When Murphy's return wasn't eminent is when they promoted Davis, and that's when they shifted Murphy's rehab to second base and when he got spiked. In fact, Murphy might have a beef with Jacobs as if he was holding down the fort maybe they don't promote Davis right away and let him get more seasoning.

I'm generally against moving the wall for the sake of moving it, but if it's gonna give our captain a little piece of mind..

seawolf17 wrote: Rusch! He's the one I forgot. Jones, I think. Wright tattooed that one... off the wall. I know it's old, but boy, it's getting old. I liked Rusch. Yoshii wasn't actually on the team in 2000. I don't know why I always think he was. I think Dotel was a September call up, no way he won 10 that year (if any year) Four other pitchers had at least 5 wins. Name them.

If i read that correctly: 2000 was the last year the Mets had five pitchers win 10 games. who were they? Leiter, Reed, Hampton, Rusch... who's the fifth? Dotel? Yoshii? Jones?

oh look, like 17 hits in one innings and only one run. Thanks Bay!

Capuano looking a little wornout from last time.

You've gotta find someone that's particularly better than Pelfrey or Gee and that'd you'd rather start. Unless you're pencilling this guy into the Cap's spot that Santana hopefully takes, if not early in 2012, somewhat there after.

will play in winter leagues in Arizona.

To edge John Olerud's team record batting average of .354 (.35368), Jose Reyes would need 53 hits in 126 at-bats over the Mets' final 29 games, meaning he'd have to bat .420 the rest of the way to finish at .354 (.35409). That's assuming Terry Collins starts him every day, which he's said he won't, and that he gets about as many ABs per game as he's gotten thus far in 2011. Then there's the little matter of batting .420 over 29 games. At their hottest down their respective standard-setting stretches, Lance Johnson batted .411 in 29 games in 1996 and John Olerud batted .406 in 27 games in 1998 (while Moises Alou, during his 30-game hitting streak of late 2007, batted .403). It would seem a bit much to ask Jose to top those searing paces from here on out. He certainly has motivation to finish strong (besides the fact that he's a professional and every player should want to finish strong), but it's a lot of ground to make up, even with the healthiest of hamstrings. Here's hoping he catches Cleon at least -- and tops all 2011 comers from all other teams, of course. I was resigned to this with the last DL stint. He's still got a shot at the NL title though at least.
