Piazza as a backup catcher.

I got a ring tone of Gary calling a Piazza homer against the Braves. Not sure what game it is.

Glavine = good for the Mets.

You guys like the blood red jerseys? Seriously? I need to setup an intervention for some of you peeps.

But you've got Hernandez already signed for 2007, and Pedro's going to get a bunch of starts, and I'm advocating signing Zito, if possible, and/or getting a first rank younger pitcher in a deal. Maine's earned a full shot already, I think Perez has too, and I'd give one to Bannister as well. If one of those falters, you've got Pelfrey, and if another falters you've got Humber. I believe that Glavine is expecting front-line starter money, not completely unreasonably given his w-l record last year, and will try to get at least two years on his next deal. That money could be better spent elsewhere.If we can sign him for middle (or back) of the rotation money, I'd go for that, but I don't believe that's what he's looking for. ok 1 at a time here... so what if you'v got hernandez signed? he's not very good. you can't count on Pedro getting "a bunch of starts" or on those starts being of his usual quality. yeah, Maine has earned a shot. Perez hasn't, one playoff game doesn't make you a #2 starter (as he would be with that circus of a rotation listed above) Perez should ideally be one of several candidates for 4/5. Bannister was smoke and mirrors, like Perez he's a 5th starter candidate not a guy to be relied upon. Pelfrey and Humber have shown nothing in the majors, they look like they still need time, to count on both of them along with these other guys is suicidal. now look, if you sign Zito and Glavine the rotation suddenly looks good and deep, but neither is on board yet and right now the Mets rotation looks like it belongs in Norfolk (its gonna take some time for me to get used to saying New Orleans btw) Wow Nymr. Well done. (sc = zero)

HAIL

Seriously though....who needs Victoria Secret stuff for your girl?

I hate to be the one to say it....but those guys are going to get a whole lotta girls because of that magazine. Not that they wouldn't anyway, but it'll probably be more than just random groupies now.

The insanity continues. Carlos Lee to the Astros: 6 years, 100 million.

Marathon gets the call right on Carlos Lee.

This discussion really doesn't belong in this forum.

Ah. That explains why I'm clueless. I don't really believe that hockey exists.

Can someone explain it to the nitwits like myself?

It's not necessarily an argument against Howard, whose numbers were hard to ignore (obviously) and whose impact on the Phillies getting as close as they did was enormous, but I wonder if anybody else has ever... *Won a Gold Glove *Won a Silver Slugger *Started in the All-Star Game *Tied his franchise's record for home runs in a season *Broke his franchise's record for runs scored in a season *Played on the team with the sport's best record ...and finished as low as fourth in the MVP voting. Then again, I wonder if anybody has ever done those six things in the same season, period. Wow. You sure as hell convinced me Greg (sc = 0). Not to mention he won the Gold Glove in CF.

Now pick a spot for Piazza to play. I'd love to have him as our backup catcher....but I doubt he'd love that.

IMDB has changed the year to 2008. The thread title has been updated.

I called up a MFY fan cousin of mine that night and gave a concession message on his apartment's answering machine. He and his roomates left it up all winter. These are the reasons why no one likes you.

I kind of agree with Fregosi. Girardi took a team that was thought to be putrid and made them mediocre. Ok, great, big deal. Didn't like 25 different teams win 80 games in the NL this year?

Piazza should be in this game.

2B better NOT be settled. We signed Valentin to play infield sub, right?

My head is slowly exploding.

Shit, I woulda taken him at 1 year, 3 mil.
