  3. I'll never understand why people think Florida would want to trade Willis for anything. He's a cheap young ace. That's what you gamble on getting when you trade for prospects. So why would the Marlins gamble on getting something in a prospect by trading away what they are hoping to get? Doesn't make any sense.
  4. I guess I'm the only person here who thinks that the Cardinals are/were a garbage team? A lot of people are giving them way too much credit. This is the worst WS champion in history.
  5. ]You could be one of those ignoramuses who take cues from MFY fans and chant shit like "Tom-my Glav-ine! (clap-clap! clap-clap-clap)!" Yo. Get it right. The MFY fans did NOT suddenly create the four-syllable, five-clap chant. That's been around a long time before they started doing that roll call thing. There's nothing wrong with other fans using it on a one-off basis.
  6. What song is this?
  7. This just reinforces that the Mets would've won the whole fucking thing. And that makes me hurt.
  8. The hatred for Looper will never make sense. Ever.
  9. So when are we going to sign this guy?
  10. What the FUCK is wrong with you? Edit: Not you, Zvon. Nor you, Edgy.

If I ever tried that I'd find my office empty and my ass on the street within minutes. How dare you MFS62. How dare you. Can we quote you on that? Later Just channeling that annoying dude from that Internet Mag who posted here a few times. The one from the mag that broke the "Alou signing" or whatever fake transaction it was.

  13. Hitters/Fielders: Beltran Wright Matsui Reyes Delgado ------- Lo Duca ------- Valentin Chavez Floyd Nady ------- Franco Green Woodward Milledge Castro
  14. Does postseason performance factor in? If it's weighted by regular season wins I would guess not.

  16. AAAA HAHAHAAHAHAH ROFLLMAO LOL
  17. I feel that Looper gets unfair treatment from Met fans. Though it doesn't help that his name rhymes with poop. And his explanation of being booed was priceless.
  18. Johnny Dickshot wrote: ="metirish"]Bad error by him right there..... Yeah but I'd wish Tim would shut up and admire that Z had the presence of mind to strap 'em on and go for a triple play there. Ever since I was at a game in Philly where Piazza hit into a triple play and I barely realized it, I remind myself to be aware whenever there's at least 2 on and 0 out. As soon as Pujols hit reached Zumaya I was thinking "TRIPLE PLAY!" with the only tough out being Wilson at 2nd. Pujols barely runs and you know he's not paying attention. Huh. I didn't think of it that way. I thought Zumaya was just being a moron. Maybe they'll ask him in the post game.
  19. If I had a time machine the first thing I'd go back and do is go see Star Wars in theaters in '77. Then I'd go see games 6 and 7 at Shea. Then 1969. Mays would be in the top 10 probably.
  20. There's not much that I don't like about Taguchi. He is so Taguchi. That joke will never get old.
  21. I'm too tired to pose any counterarguments that would probably be wrong anyway. If I'm going to be dead wrong, I like to be awake at the time. (New thread! New thread!)
  22. That Howard commerical looks alarmingly like a Nazi rally. (Yes I realize Howard is Jewish.) It also sounds alarmingly like the beginning of the Kirk/McCoy trial from Star Trek VI.
  23. You guys saw Willie Mays play? You're old. Did you ever see a Jack Dempsey fight?
  24. Oh my god that was hilarious. Zumaya picks up a grounder and throws to third. The radar gun then flashed the speed of his throw to third at 100 mph. I think that puts to rest any argument that the radar guns are not shady.
  25. Personal UMDB memory: first time I saw it was a random google looking for Met stuff. The first thing that caught my eye was the pictorial starting lineup that the box score were accompanied by. A couple years later I was looking for that site again to show my buddy "I saw this really cool site that had the starting lineup in pictures but I can't remember where the heck it is."
