  2. Paul Maholm starting at Shea this week. (KTE alert!)
  3. Maine is the first baseball player in history with a non-Washington surname that matches one of he fifty states. No one like that has ever played in the NBA or NHL. Gary gives us Russell Maryland and [something] Missouri to go with Joe from the NFL. Personally, I think he made the Missouri one up.

  5. I'll pay for a burned copy of that. Shipping, for the blank CD, plus a little bonus for yourself. 'Course, that opens a whole can of worms where everyone wants one, so if you say "NO!!!", I'll understand.
  6. When are we calling Keppinger up to give him his shot at second? The grass is always greener wherever Kaz is not.
  7. That too.
  8. I can't figure out who the chick is in the bottom left of that cover. Is it Jessica Alba? Or maybe no one famous?
  9. ]The NY Sun would call it a well panned 'star watch' as oppossed to a death watch Thread/article titles can be a reflection of the general attitude and personality of the writer.
  10. The Rico thread has been ended.
  11. It's not entirely their fault. They don't realize that there is baseball that doesn't involve the Yankees.
  12. FAFIF gives updates on some former Mets who are playing in the minors.
  13. Al Leiter
  14. Maine has allowed more than one earned run just once.
  15. Zambrano 4 Delgado 2 Feliciano 1 Nady 1 Sanchez 1 Wagner 1
  16. Victor Zambrano: "Would you care to snack on some more of your words there, Elster88?" Looks like all the motivation Zamby needed was some trash-talking from myself. Give me ten minutes with the guy, PLEASE.
  17. ]Kris Benson: Career Winning % .483, career ERA+ 103 Victor Zambrano: Career winning % .530, career ERA+ 101. For starters, winning percentage is just about the worst way to judge effectiveness. So career winning percentage can be ignored. For seconds, well, Benson is a better pitcher. This argument is weaker, but I'd be willing to bet that Benson has a better year. You can pick pretty much any category you want to judge the word "better".
  18. I usually watch the first Yank/Sock game of the year. No one handles the remote better than me. I'm guessing the majority of fans will boo Master Damon.
  19. I've been wanting to say it since it happened, but have been afraid of getting bashed for jumping the gun. But I'll go ahead and say it. The Julio/Benson trade could be what keeps this from being a WS winning team. (Note: "could be"). 'Course, I'd much rather have Wiggy than either of them (SC = 8 billion)
  20. One more west coast trip in early June and that's it for CA/AZ this year. Can't beat that.
  21. I think this has been touched on but not adequately explained: Why the HELL is there a four day All-Star Break?
  22. Poo Holes is 7th in the NL with a .346 BA. He's 4 up in the year-long home run derby (14) and 3 up in RBI (32).
  23. The placement of the Yankee games hurts a little. Coming off of a road trip, that ends in St. Louis of all places, to face the Yanks with no off day in between. Facing two of the toughest teams like that back to back will be tough. I've also thought all along that Philadelphia is a better team than they are showing themselves to be. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
  24. No griping here. The average takes care of such things. Just curiosity. And astonishment.
  25. Honestly, it's good to hear from George again. Snobbish old rich pricks amuse me. Edit: Why, oh why, does a stupid remark get awarded top of the page status? I guess it's more likely to happen with someone who posts a lot of stupid remarks.
