  1. He gets it done. But I dunno about Bastardo. I saw him a lot on the Phils. He doesn't look the same. Conforto is off to a nice little start. Walker too. Wright looks solid as far as his back goes. Good game
  2. Bastardo is not fooling me but he's certainly fooling them. K's two in a row.
  3. Cespedes only wears the neck part of the turtle neck so we can still see his bling. How thoughtful
  4. On the whole Wright has been playing a great 3rd base. Back schmack. Even that errant throw was played nicely. Probably will cost us a run though.

  7. The Phils pen has been especially horousious. HAha< no spl chk on that? I guess it's too far off. Herocious.
  8. We answer right back. Ahhhh, niiiice. 2-1 Mets
  9. DAMN! Gah, nice piece of hitting. 1-1 Mets. More cowbell!
  10. OoOo, grounder to Walker and he holds the runner! Two out.
  11. OOoo, nice bounce, and nice play Cabrera. 1 out, Phil on third.
  12. Uh-oh. Do NOT let them tie this game. 1-0 Mets in the 6th. Phils pitcher doubles to lead it off.
  13. Why do we only have one run? And deGrom drove it in? COME ON!! These are the Phils. Saw a bit of their games during the off days and this is like the worst Phillies team I can ever remember seeing.
  14. That's excellent. Very kool. That's for the 1990 yearbook. Where are the others? Ha! Kidding. I didn't even look thru them yet. But they did do it other years.

  16. According to The Donald, he has the support of Paul O'Neil. please merge for posterity. Funny. I remember this Mets yearbook from the late '80s or early 90s. I'm 100% positive that Dave Magadan is in it and about 85% certain that Keith Hernandez was no longer a Met when that yearbook came out. Anyways, most of the Mets got a full page spread with a top to bottom color picture in that yearbook and a series of lightweight Playboy centerfold type questions to answer. Not as vapid as "What's your favorite color?", but not much meatier. Questions like what's your favorite movie ... what's your favorite food ... what's your favorite band or what kind of music do you listen to? Etc. You get the point. One of the questions that I think just about every Met got was along the lines of "Who's your favorite celebrity?" or "Who's the person you'd most wanna meet?" or some such variation on that theme. And almost every single Met that got that question ... just about every single Met ... answered --- Donald Trump. If it is the 1990 yearbook Keith was gone and Magadan was not. Magadans favorite movie was Casablanca, his favorite musician, Elton John. It's true that not every Met got the question regarding "non-sportsman idol" (Magadan wasn't asked). There were questions like "favorite New York restaurant", "favorite New York Attraction", "favorite musician/movie", and "offseason activity". Two Mets answered Donald Trump for "non-sportsman idol". Wally Whitehurst and Phil Lombardi. So not everyone (I'll spare you how many were asked the question), but that's still notable. I could see it leaving an impression. Macky Sasser liked Nixon. Coney, Jackie Gleason. Doc, his mom . Getouutttahere. I must be getting Alzheimer's. I was sure a heckuvvalotta Mets picked Trump. Maybe the Mets ran a similar questionnaire in another season/yearbook? I believe they did (maybe in more than 2 yearbooks) over the years. Mostly in those 90's YBs IIRC. I'll have to go through them. Keith Miller's favorite musician was Harry Chapin. Niiiice.

Sometimes last second considerations require a redistribution of points. Seconded as a "would be useful" request. Okay, I found an easy way to do this. When you vote on Friday's game, check out the new "Check My Math" button that's to the left of the "Submit" button. That's exactly what I needed. Thank you. You have no idea how much paper you've saved me over the course of the season. I think you just saved an entire forest. themetfairy wrote: I have another request. For relief pitchers, would it be possible to include inherited runners stranded/inherited runners allowed as a stat? TMF has a point- there are some grey areas in a game where a full box score might shed a light on something that might not be reflected in your game breakdowns. For me, I don't think that's needed for games I watch. Games I don't watch I will still consult a full box from CBS or ESPN on my own. I don't know if a link to a full box is necessary but there are times I will need to go over one. No real biggy, as I said I can zip over to CBSsportsline myself. I agree with TMF that the more info included in your game breakdowns, the better.

Walkers quick to the ball too, good hands with the bat. And nary a worry on DPs. I will always miss Murphy but I do think things will at least even out there.
  20. Morales dribbles to d'Arnaud, and that ends it. Mets win! Familia looking good.
  21. Whoa, Walker almost boots a grounder but recovers. 2 out.
  22. Heart of the order too. K's Cain. Niiiiiice. 1 out.
