DUDA!!!!!!!!!!! 3-1

Still 3-0 here in the 3rd.

SNY booth blacked out for me when they play Philly. GAH!

The final guy, who nobody guessed, was a left-handed hitting first baseman named "Ike Davis." Of the 18 players in this little quiz, 15 of them managed to win some kind of Schaefer award and were "immortalized" on one or more of my custom 1970s baseball cards. Gotta get these on page two. The 74 Newy is my fav. All great though. OE: and that Duda.

I hate to say it, but you know baseball. I'm afraid that Justin Turner will somehow bite us bad in the post. Wow, and they got Utley now too. I forgot about him. My old nemesis. *teeth start to chatter

Middle of the 10th inning in San Fran *yawn. 2-2 Mets

I think that still counts as a foul, as long as you're in the batter's box. If you're out of the box it's an out. Wow. thnx. That was a great at bat by Walker but everything after was anti-climactic. Cards win. WHOA, just saw the collision for the 1st time. Yikes!

The Pirates do not want to go quietly.

And if most want to wait for after the postseason I can wait. Stick around in the off-season. It's not like we quit talking about this team or baseball in general just because it gets cold outside. I usually do because this place helps make the off season go faster. Somehow.

Bucs over anxious and double flub one for a run, and then Reynolds hits a 2 run bomb. 3-0 Cards

Have we done a poll here in regards to team MVP for the season? Or should what happens in the post be a factor? It's not like this is N.L. MVP. Post season might fairly be included as part of the equation when it comes to a team MVP. Should it? We've been doing an annual thing every off-season for over a dozen years now where those who want to participate make a list of the top 30 NYM players for the just completed year and rank them from top to bottom as to their contribution to the season. Here's the 2014 thread: http://www.cranepoolforum.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21987 So the top guy would be each player's MVP and we come up with an overall consensus by considering all the votes entered. In years when there is post-season play the contributions in the playoffs absolutely count towards who was that season's top performer. To what extent is up to the individual voter. Not that any of that means you can't start your own MVP thread for the reg season if you want. No reason it has to be an either/or thing. I was debating with myself about starting a thread/poll, but then it occurred to me that the postseason could/should matter. I'm up in there air now. I think Grandy is our regular season MVP. Just recently Familia has been creeping into my thinking, but that could only mean a split vote because I don't think anyone's contributions during the dark days of 2015 were as big as Curtis's. Is there a way to split a vote in one of those polls? This is no big deal. I'm making a banner and card for team MVP and I think it would be fairer to get a group consensus as opposed to just what I think. And if most want to wait for after the postseason I can wait.

Good game going on here. 0-0 Bucs

amazing...

Opposite view from what I saw on TV. Sheesh.

I think those two were made for each other. That was just a lovers spat.

Lagares: .2 Johnson: .2 Conforto: .4 Plawecki: .2 Campbell: 2 Herrera: 2 deGrom: 4 Goeddel: .4 Gilmartin: .3 Parnell: .3

It's a shame to say it, but I don't see how Parnell makes the postseason roster. There are a few guys I wish could be there, like Newy & Reck. If Uribe is hurt, does Herrera have a shot at the postseason roster? He's hitting the heck out of the ball today. I haven't heard Uribe's current status. From Gary: Kelly Johnson playing short today, wearing Cespedes glowgreensleeve, has not had one single play in the field and it's the 8th inning. I read online that XRays of Uribe's chest and ribs were negative. He is reported to have a severe contusion (bruise) of his chest. He is expected to rest the remainder of the regular season. Hopefully, he will recover enough to be available when the playoffs start. If it takes any longer...I think he's a must but if he's still hurt I'd be concerned over his spot. Anyone remember in 2006 with Cliff Floyd being hurt going into the post?

I'm usual hostile to such things, but these looked kinda cool. And I tend to like '47 caps. Which one?

Plawecki tells me to shove Recker somewhere naughty with a solo kaBOOM. 8-0 Mets

I may want to rethink that.

That must be De Jesus's infield glove he's wearing out there. Flubs an easy fly. Then Phillips makes a great stop and the ball squiggles from his glove to the OF grass. 7-0 N.L. EAST CHAMPS
