Yeah, I'm gonna have to sort of disagree here. Andruw Jones was never the hitter Manny is. Jones' career .339 OBP and .490 SLG isn't in the same ball park as Manny's .409/.590. Jones was a comparable player when he was playing stellar centerfield, but Manny's been head and shoulders above him for a long time now. If Manny dropped as far as Andruw Jones has dropped, he'd still be nearly as good a hitter as Jones' career averages. I didn't mean to compare Jones and Manny stats-wise or even player status-wise, it was more of a "he can come out here (I'm in LA), lay low, get fat, get hurt, collect his pension, and no one will notice" statement. Believe me, Dodger fan doesn't even know Jones and Nomar are ON his team. Its friggin pathetic. Maybe after a year and a half in the Twilight Zone that is Sports in LA - he'll go DH in the AL. .

Like Andruw Jones, Manny will fall into "whatever happened to that guy?" territory and wind up sitting on the DL for long stretches (and eat his way out of baseball).

hope he doesnt bunt

October 3, 1999: Melvin Mora crosses home plate on Brad Clontz's wild pitch. 2. October 9, 1999: Todd Pratt ends NLDS on walkoff homer. 3. October 16, 2000: Mets win pennant. 4. July 10, 1999: Matt Franco beats Mariano Rivera, 9-8. 5. September 28, 1997: Final game of comeback season. 6. October 18, 2006: Mets even NLCS at three games apiece. 7. October 4, 2006: Paul Lo Duca tags two Dodgers in NLDS opener, setting stage for Game One win. 8. September 18, 2006: Mets clinch first division title in 18 years. 9. June 30, 2000: Mets score ten runs in eighth, capped by Mike Piazza's three-run homer, beat Braves 11-8. 10. May 17, 2007: Mets score five runs in ninth, defeat Cubs 6-5. metirish Dec 31 2008 10:39 AM 1999 was such a fun season, hard to believe it's ten years ago already. mario25 Dec 31 2008 10:49 PM My top 10 moments 10 The Joe Mcewing Game 9 Not sure of the date but I took a bus trip and arrived early to get on the field for picture day...Had my picture taken with Edgardo Alfonso and Piazza 8 Mo Vaughn hits a bomb off the Bud sign in right center-way up 7 Sat in the Time warner suite and Darling,Hernandez and Cohen came into eat..and Julie Donaldson (she is hot) 6 Game winner by Wright off of Mariano 5 Mcgwire hits satelite homer opp. field to beat Mets...a bomb 4 Endy Catch game-never been in a louder place in my life 3 Sat behind home dugout and Eddie Murray flipped me a ball 2 June 2008 Sunday night game Johan dominates dodgers-reunion with fantasy camp guys #1 hands down...played at Shea stadium for Fantasy Camp reunion....Sat in visitors dugout to change, roamed stadium for 3 hrs. before game started, Ron Swoboda pitched me batting practice, Ed Charles hit us infield practice,pretended to make game saving catches over CF fence,Had my name announced by Shea announcer, Hit a basehit in only Shea at bat ...Simply an Amazing day Met Hunter Jan 01 2009 08:06 AM 10. 1975 Mets-Stros. Joe Torre hits into 4 double plays. Blames Millan for getting 4 singles in front of him. Dad laughed the whole car ride home. 9. 1998 Mike Piazza's birthday. Hits blast into trees out in LCF. A bonafide star. Sends everyone home happy. Especially my 7 year old and his friend Anthony. 8. 1988 divisional clincher vs Philly. Upper deck behind home. Was able to make it to work that night too. Highlight of night was casting a paper airplane down to the on deck circle and having Gary Carter put it in his back pocket. Lots of drunken cheers. 7. 1984-1989. Numerous games seeing Doc rock the house. I swear it was never louder and the place never shook more than those nights he lit em up. Get chills thinking about it. 6. 1971 Mets-Bucs. My first game. Steve Blass wins 2-0 over Kooz. Clemente triples, Pops homers. I'm hooked. Dad couldn't remember if he took me or if it was with Little League. Later, I find the program in the attic. I filled out Mets side. Pirates are in his handwriting. 5. 2006 pennant clincher. Sat right behind home and gave it to most of the Cardinals on their way back to the dugout. Was congratulated after game by Sarah Jessica Parker. Matthew was just glad not to have any more plastic beer bottles rolling under his seat. 4. 2006 Mets-MFYs. DWright's walkoff double of Mo. Nuff said. Beating them always makes the list. 3. 1986 Mets-Braves. My favorite alltime regular season game. Carter has 2 homers, 7 RBI by second inning. Straw has brawl with David Palmer after being plunked following Carter's 2nd homer. Mets win 11-0, Sid pitches 2 hit shutout, gets 3 hits of his own. We're on our way. Seating highlight: My friend Dino's buddy from the pharmacy, drops entire tray of beer across three rows of people trying to get back to our seats. 2. Grand Slam single. Went with my son age 8. Sat in uppers right field side. When we get to extras, he suggests moving down. Got a couple of great seats on first base side loge. Dunston, Ventura, Morrison. 1. Game 7 1986. Eight rows behind Red Sox dugout with my younger brother. So many times we sat in an empty house together. The only Game 7 the Mets ever won at Shea. batmagadanleadoff Jan 01 2009 08:59 AM ="Met Hunter":knuba7l6] 6. 1971 Mets-Bucs. My first game. Steve Blass wins 2-0 over Kooz.

Pirates are in his handwriting.[/quote:knuba7l6] You beat me to Shea by about half a day. My very first Met game (4/18/71) was the day after yours. Clemente's second triple in as many games was the only hit Gary Gentry surrendered. Mets win 5-2. The Boys from Mobile homer.

My list: 1) 1986 NLCS Game 5[/url:yjuvkwa5] 2-10) Cannot compare to #1

from the outside it looks like an outlet mall. a "timeless" design that's easily stuck in the 1990s and will not age well. can't wait for the next one, in 20 years.
