    I am hoping this is just some hardball negotiating.

    That kind of structure has appeal for both sides. Pete gets the security of a five year deal plus if he puts together a couple good seasons he has the option to go FA again when he'll still be young enough at 32 y/o to get a multi-year offer. And the Mets get to keep their power guy without having to commit to the back half of his 30s As I said earlier on this thread, I thought the Mets w/should play it as if they were willing to let Pete walk if someone else was going to go north of five years. It's starting to sound like, unless someone is hiding in the weeds waiting for their moment, that teams are reluctant to go there. I like this plan. I think it works for Pete, too.

    Sad to see this. I worked for the Flint, Mich. newspaper in the 1990s and Merv was a local hero. His brother Marv -- yes, Mervin and Marvin -- was a longtime coach in the Flint schools. They're both in the Greater Flint Sports Hall of Fame.

    Is this the one? Love that 1974 Topps set!

    For the guys returning on the ballot, with last year's percentage: Billy Wagner | 73.8% | Enters 10th-and-final year on ballot Andruw Jones | 61.6% | 8th year Carlos Beltrán | 57.1% | 3rd year Álex Rodríguez | 34.8% | 4th year Manny Ramírez | 32.5% | 9th year Chase Utley | 28.8% | 2nd year Omar Vizquel | 17.7% | 8th year Bobby Abreu | 14.8% | 6th year Jimmy Rollins | 14.8% | 4th year Andy Pettitte | 13.5% | 7th year Mark Buehrle | 8.3% | 5th year Francisco Rodríguez | 7.8% | 3rd year Torii Hunter | 7.3% | 5th year David Wright | 6.2% | 2nd year I can't imagine Wagner getting so close and not making it this year. Would love to see Beltran make a big jump. They'll probably make him wait another year or two, which is silly. Would love to see Wright stay on the ballot to they can keep looking at his career. But it could very well just be Ichiro and Wagner going in this year from the writers.

    I looked at Felix Hernandez' stats and they weren't as eye-popping as I expected them to be. Some great numbers, to be sure. But not what I'd expect of a first-ballot hall-of-famer.

    That's awesome!

    I think the Mets will want to keep him. They can do what they did with Nimmo - let him make the rounds, talk to teams who are interested, get the best number then come back to the Mets and see if they'll match or top. It might be less than the number he's looking for, but at least he'll know what his value is on the market. The danger is all it takes is one owner to go nuts and the Mets tell Pete to take it.

    I only saw Sandlot recently, and thought it was fun. I actually kinda liked Mannequin back in the day. But Goonies, can't say I ever liked it. I put Breakfast Club in that category, too. It came out when I was in college, and our girlfriends loved it and my roomie and I thought it was too touchy feely.

    Road House a silly movie, but Jeff Healy Band's cover of “When the Night Starts Falling From the Sky” is great! [media=youtube]hz_UPoyZFfk[/media]

    My wife really likes it. I'll never hear George Michael and not think about this movie!

    What did you think about Petoskey? It's a beautiful little city and you can go hunting for the special stones on the beach in the state park. Mackinac Island is beautiful, more so when you get away from the touristy areas. I've been to the top of one of the bridge towers.

    I've been to the FoD site! Have a blast! Where in Northern Michigan are you going to be?

    I liked this one a little better than most Will Ferrell movies. I think it dialed down the slapstick a little -- though there is some, for sure -- and dialed up the tenderness. I think "Elf" could have used a little more tenderness and less grossness.

    Cleveland is a really nice city and Progressive is a great park. We went several years ago to see the Mets and stayed in the Theater District, a short walk from the park. The aquarium is nice, too. Hope you had time to explore the area just beyond centerfield with the tributes to former players!
