    Not being able to search in the archives and not being able to steal code are two big flies in the ointment.

    It may be time to remove the free agents list. You have to put the past behind you.

    OTOH, I intend to blast the Mets for the non-signing of Guerrero for the next five years. Especially because I was assured that was the only after five years could the non-move be evaluated, due to his "bad back".

    Yes, you have been going on about Piazza and his resistance to moving to first everytime the topic of greed or legacies or any other (sometimes seemingly unrelated) topic comes up. But from your last post I guess you think you are breaking new ground because this time you are making the analogy to Soriano's recent ordeal?

    Tell it again, Grandpa!

    Do you have any complaints? *pause* I didn't think so. ______________________________ A failed attempt led to the greatest comeback in baseball history. If the bunt had been executed we may have missed that moment. See, bunting is for losers even when done properly.

    Is the Team Cup a yearly event?
  8. Elster88
    Not that it bears on the conversation, but aren't the teams that compete in the European Championships the same club teams as usual? It'd be like the Mets, Braves, etc. playing against Bobby V's team, etc. right?

    1.4 million for a 16 year old prospect? Something must be done.

    ]shooting smack into my eyeballs. Ouch.
  12. Elster88
    Maybe.

    Yeah me too. I'm much more comfortable with Anderson Hernandez as our starting second baseman. Who wants a guy who's hit over 30 (was it 40?) home runs in a season when you can have a guy who's hit over .300 in AAA? What the hell is wrong with you people?!?!?

Reyes retained the job at least partly by default. It's not like we had a better option. I'll stick with 348 and a 1/2 myself. Maybe 1/4.

    ="Frayed Knot"]"The problem is that Hernandez hasn't walked or hit for an extra base even once in 38 at bats, and it's not like he has a strong history of doing either--he's only had a good half season." So you're saying that the radio callers should maybe put the Andy-Handy bronze plaque on hold for a bit yet? It's not just the radio callers.

    Fearless prediction: Julio will remain on the Met 25-man roster (barring injury) all year.

    Edit: You know what? Fuck it. I'm not doing this anymore.
  21. Elster88
    Eh.

    smg58 wrote: I do think Keppinger has outperformed Hernandez so far, and probably wouldn't benefet as much from more seasoning, but we'll see what happens. Soriano... they'd have to take Matsui and only one other player, presumably an outfielder. (Matsui, assuming he gets off the DL, would actually be an upgrade for them at SS.) I may have considered throwing in Bannister at one point, but absolutely not now. Why in the world would the Nats trade Soriano for Matsui and Bannister? Oh wait, you're not even willing to throw in Bannister? Bret is right, we're not getting Soriano unless a guy like Milledge goes away.

I capitalized on word twice and you tweak. Sorry, I will make sure italicize it next time so I don't get an unnecessarily obnoxious response. Take it easy.

    62, do you enjoy provoking Bret?
