    Spelling it that way causes no confusion along the lines of "did he just call me a dick?" It may cause confusion as we get further removed from Mike Bordick. Peeps used to say "welcome aboardick" which was the one that I thought could be taken as an insult. Does anyone have a pic of the sign from 2000?

Really, thank God the Mets lost, or the organization and the fans have to live with a tainted championship forever. You just broke my sarcasm-meter, but my silver lining from the loss really is that Mota wasn't on a Met WS Champ.

    Rockin' Doc wrote: MFS62 - "It was a piece of business that Omar had to get out of the way so he could move on to improve the team in other areas." I agree. I'm glad to have this taken care of so the Mets can concentrate their efforts on signing Zito or Schmidt. Me too.

    Thank you. But how 'bout the usage? Fix my sentence.

They're probably 2 of the least appealing options. 2b options: name (age - - `06 OPS (career OPS) Aurilia (35 - R) .867 (.775) Belliard (31 - R) .725 (.751) DeRosa (31 - R) .812 (.735) Jiminez (28 - S) .601 (.727) Kennedy (30 - L) .718 (.730) Lorretta (35 - R) .706 (.765) Lugo (30 - R) .762 (.742) nobody on this list sparks much enthusiasm or represents an upgrade over Valentin. This, combined with the dearth of talent in our farm system, means 2b will remain a significant question (?) mark this season, unless we sign Soriano or make a significant trade. I know it's anathema to say it in front of many of our regular posters...but Soriano seems like a pretty good option. We need a left fielder and we need a second baseman. He plays both. And it would cost us only cash. PS: Did I use anathema correctly? I need some vocabulary/elitist help.

    I got a couple of the Dunkin Donuts coins as gifts. Lenny and Keef I think. Mikey too. Not sure why he was on one.

    ]With the World Series completed, 29 teams will spend the next four months trying to be like the St. Louis Cardinals. No way in hell do I want the Mets emulating the Cardinals. "Let's try to win 83 games next year."

    I'm fine with it, as long as the money doesn't keep him the Mets from signing other players. I like pitching as much as I like pretty ladies.

    Mota's another one that confuses the hell out of me. He got the everloving crap kicked out of him for half a year and then pitched well for us. 'Course, if he doesn't give up that triple in Game 2 we don't lose to St. Looie. But I blame Willie for pitching him two innings that gaeme. If he actually did pitch two innings and I'm not misremembering. You know what? Fuck him. I still hate that prick for throwing at my boy. I'm glad our World Series team wasn't soiled by that pussy.

    I give it an 8. Very good, not great.

    That's a great Mike Fyhrie. Not that I know who the hell that is.

    The All-Star thing doesn't bother me so much. Alternating years is just as random. Best record doesn't work either because of the schedule structure. Off the top of my head, I don't even think homefield advantage is that big a deal for playoff baseball. I think looking at game sevens is the best way to judge that, but I'm too lazy.

I'd keep him in mind, but I'm not sure I'd call him a priority. You can never have too much pitching. People have accidents.

    You get the point.

    I don't want Pedro throwing off a mound until July. Give him his first start in early to mid-August. Ready for the playoffs.
