    I woulda started it down 2-0. The win would be that much sweeter. Somethings going on here. But its with 2 out.

    If Harvey takes the knife Id enjoy Lincecum for a season at a reasonable price. Maybe even more so if he doesn't when I think about it.

    whoops, didnt include the guy. I think we all know who this is. But what in the name of all that is orange and blue is with that Dodger uni? I don't think I've ever seen this exact piping on their jersey before. I won't break with tradition but I will talk about the game here. Okay, I get it, you got guts Zack. Too many pitches Mr Wheeler. Nice throw out by d'!

    I now agree. Wes and Tom are standing in the same area of the Mets Spring Training complex. So is Bill Sudakis (below): The street-light over Sudakis's left shoulder is the giveaway. I think there's a good chance that the pitcher I was bringing back also posed in that same area, but before the cage-like structure was built. Plus, you could tell from the Sudakis photo that the object coming out of Seaver's head is a wooden telephone pole. "Bring back" seems to be a clue that means a lot. But I don't get it. I know his face though! Swing him around to the foul line and maybe those trees line up. I'm thinking close, a field over? The Sudakis is a keeper.

Yo, I was coloring a Westrum and dewatermarking a Seaver and I notice that both these pics are taken in the same little corner of the world, what, 5, 6 years apart? Same tree back there. Whoever that is up there, he might be in the same corner, different angle, can't tell. Don't see that section of fence that juts out. Trees don't seem to line up right.

    Fine story inside. Best tidbit: the pastor who buys a ten-pack of Pirates tix every season but only for games early in the year because he knows people are giving them away by September. Nobody's giving them away this September. And he doesn't mind at all. Someone will take care of that guy. So he's on the cover of SI in a pic that almost makes it look like he's breaking his ankle. If he was grimacing it really would look that way. Lets see if the curse of the cover covers that.

    Over the last two weeks I have watched 2 Pirate games. I'm getting into it. Gonna watch more in the stretch. Im gonna squeeze in between two real Buc fans, take a seat, and celebrate vicariously when they clinch. Just to remind myself of what celebrating feels like.

    Got a big WOW moment from the Brown. Hawkins wearing '76 Topps. Lookin good. One thing I've noticed and looking forward to next year is how kool the ASG logo looks on player cards.

These aren't isolated examples. The first four series of the 1969 set were replete with these types of cards. When I got the older Agee cards I never saw as a kid I was very disappointed in the '68,'69 Agees. Nothing to really show he was a Met. '69 really is the poorest. batmagadanleadoff wrote: The slugger depicted on the front page of the newspaper above did not know it at the time, but by the time he joined the Mets organization, he had already played his final major league game.

THE RUNNER ON SECOND IS TRYING TO PULL A MOOKIE AND SCORE FROM SECOND! AND HE'S... ...out. That runner... Ruben Tejada. aww. Is that hustle from Tejeda? Okay, he is forgiven. Where are you getting to see the game?

    2014?

    Zvon replied to Theoldmole's topic in New York Mets Talk

    I would move Flores before I move Murph. I'm not sold at all on Flores. Sure, he can hit, but everything else he does on his feet is less than desirable. Young's the only current Met I'd want to see at second other than Murphy, and that's only if Murphs gone in the off season. I'd rather he not be. We know just what we got with Muffy. He plays harder than Flores and has a proven bat. As great as Young has been in sparking things up, his overall numbers are short of what we need. Still he gets things started and his base thievery is much needed. If they don't want to give him a chance starting in left to see if he can develop further Ill understand. But he's exactly the type of guy we need minus his .253avg,.316 OBP. 80Ks. Don't like that. 35 SBs tho, 28 yrs old. If he could just get his avg/obp up to an average level.....

    Yep, we are spoiled. At least we have the best of something these days.

Back on May 1 (or thereabouts) I never would have expected that in September I'd be saying, "Oh, good, Gee is pitching today!" I wrote him off about the same time. His turnaround has been quietly uplifting. GG! Played like winners and won.

    I like this Black guy. He brings it.
