I'll be on the 9:37 from Stamford, wearing a fairly filthy trenchcoat (vomit, blood, faeces, etc.), and I'll be walking fast. The password is "mercantile"--just slip me the baseball and keep walking onto the track, while I slip into the crowd. I'll have your assessment within a few days. lmao *Z slaps his knee. and nice come back metsheaven. I like a guy with a sense of humor and Met balls.

="seawolf17"]And the 2006 Topps set has hit the stores. Bought a couple of boxes at Walmart -- one for me right now, one for the baby when he gets here. First card on top of the first pack I opened... Pedro Martinez. edit: Side note... in an update of the old airbrushing days, apparently, players like Delgado, Wagner, LoDuca, and Johnny Damon are pictured -- in action -- Photoshopped in their new uniforms. Didn't get any of them, but some of them are up on eBay. Interesting. Topps messed up bigtime when they stopped putting the new years cards out right b4 Xmas. Cuz my bros and I would buy each other boxes for Xmas and have what we called pack parties over the holiday. Im curious to see those new photoshopped cards. *Z goes surfin~~~~

And if Diaz ever wants to be a regular player in the MLs, he better be taking those foward steps and taking them this Spring. Im goin for the underdog here. I want to see Diaz start playing to his potential on a consistant basis, and if he doesnt this year (as far as his career as a Met goes) he never will. Good kuck Victor. Break a leg. DOH! I mean show em what you can do and make RF yours.

="Frayed Knot"]"Im glad this is now a mute point" Is this a point that we remain silent about? lmao. Whuups ="Frayed Knot"] "I would recognize Rivera's attachment to the number" And we all know about Rivera's personal attachment to it because ... well, he says so!! I'm sure Jackie was on the mind of most Panamanians growing up and there's no way that the NYY publicity machine pass a story like that if it weren't 100% true. Has Rivera worn any other number during his career?

47 to go? He aint gonna make it. I doubt he hits over 25.

Thnx for the memories Buddy! Whos up next?

="Yancy Street Gang"] Amazingly, my PC has the exact font that was used for the script on those 1970 cards. (I matched it up with Don Cardwell's card and it was a perfect match.) The font is called Kaufmann, for any would-be 1970 Photoshoppers out there. I was gonna ask cuz that was the perfect font. I really have enjoyed viewing these cards you made Yancy. Especially because of the nod to the 70s layouts. I did a series of LEADERS cards for that set I made back when.

="Frayed Knot"]"Either 42 is retired by every team or it isn't" It isn't, not yet anyway: hence Mariano. I would recognize Rivera's attachment to the number. Not in Limas case, imo.

Willets Point wrote: The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything. HaHAHA.....it is, isnt it. Tho if I remember right it didnt add up. ]Either 42 is retired by every team or it isn't, if it isn't then get it off the wall at shea before you put it on anyone's back. Im glad this is now a mute point, but I can say I was surprized that the Mets attempted to make this happen. Maybe it was a mere formality to try. Lima was in no way really attached to this number. He simply shouldnt have requested it out of respect. Cripes, its on the wall at Shea lined up with all Met retired numbers.

="Hillbilly"]http://www.nypost.com/sports/mets/63789.htm Mickey Mouse's has a lockerroom where you can hang out with him? LMAO. I read this article. Loved that Peterson quote. The kid sounds like hes got a good head on his shoulders. Ill be following his progress with great interest.

What are your spring training wishes? Pedro has no toe woes. Matsui plays like an 8 million dollar man. Diaz outshines Nady. Trachsel shows he's still a workhorse. Who are you pulling for to make the the team/ win the position? Heilman wins his spot. Diaz in right. Soler. What do you know that Willie seems to ignore? That if the Mets dont make the playoffs, he FAILS

Those years were 3 of my PRIMO collecting years. I loved those cards. Ill never forget the 1st time i saw an IN ACTION card in the '72 set. I was like KOOL! (I think the '71 set was the 1st to use some action shots for player cards) This is a photoshopped one, but they looked just like this:
