    Had to go with Frank "Sweet Music" Viola! The pride of East Meadow was a three-time All-Star, World Series MVP, and Cy Young Award winner! Won 20 games for the Mets in 1990. We traded another 26, Kevin Tapani -- a member of the Central Michigan University Hall of Fame -- to get him, along with Rick Aguilera. Worked out better for the Twins.

    I don't think anyone's getting in. The percentages tend to lag behind what ballot tracker says due to the guys who don't share their ballots publicly. So if the tracker says someone has 77 percent, they tend to be at least five percent lower and will fall short. Beltran and Jones are both up to 81.9 percent, so I'm keeping fingers crossed. Here's what I don't understand. Two writers told the tracker they submitted blank ballots. I don't get that. If you don't want to vote for anyone, then don't vote. Toss your ballot in the trash. Whatever. But turning in a blank ballot just makes it harder percentagewise for the players.

    Well, the Brewers weren't dropping $755 million on Juan Soto.

    Robert Suarez to the Braves. I thought he might have been one of the Plan B options for Diaz, but I guess not.

    Disaster. Five years, $155 million. It's like we're going into rebuilding mode without the benefit of getting prospects back in a fire sale. I know the only thing that matters is what the roster looks like on Opening Day and not Dec. 10. But I'd sure like to see something. They almost have to go all in on Tucker or Bellinger.

    Diaz' brother has been a real pain in the butt. First he jumps on his back and causes the celebration injury -- irresponsible and unnecessary -- and now he prompts him to head to LA.
  7. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Great news and good luck!

    I’m stunned Kent got more votes than Murphy and Mattingly. I also don’t see a path for Clemens or Bonds anytime soon. This was probably their best shot and they weren’t even close.
  9. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Not quite yet, but we have a plan anyway. This makes me so happy, early Christmas present Absolutely!

    Let me know if there is anything I can do to assist. I very much appreciate this forum and community it has created over the decades. I'm happy to take on some responsibilities or be part of a group covering costs. Thank you all for all the work you do and have done.
  11. Marshmallowmilkshake
    If they get them both, and Minter is reasonably healthy, that's a bad assed end of the bullpen!
  12. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Wow! I didn’t see this one coming!
  13. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Seeing reports that the Mets are likely to sign the Astros pitcher for six years, $200 million. Not sure I like this one.
  14. Marshmallowmilkshake
    I think I like this.
  15. Marshmallowmilkshake
    No slam dunks among the newcomers. Might be a good year for Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones - or none at all. (I had to leave out two names because they would not fit in our 25-option limit. If you were planning to vote for Howie Kendrick or Gio Gonzalez, accept my apologies.)
  16. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Frank Tanana!
  17. Marshmallowmilkshake
    I like that list!
  18. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Lou Whitaker denied again. Would rather see him on there than the PED users.
  19. Marshmallowmilkshake
    I'm on Team The Loose Bodies Were Causing More Problems Than Were Being Told and hope it is being addressed this off season.
  20. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Doug Henning Theodore Roosevelt

    I don’t have a problem with Mendoza. Wasn’t his fault. I think Shildt is leaving before his contract is up. You don’t see guys doing that too often. That probably means he won’t resurface elsewhere, depending on what his contract says. All the best to him.
  22. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Mike Schildt out in San Diego.
  23. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Bochy out in Texas. Offered a front office role. Bob Melvin might start packing boxes.
  24. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Did you eliminate the Tigers?
  25. Marshmallowmilkshake
    Newsday had a headline, "Who is to blame for the Mets' Collapse" but it ended up to be clickbait. It listed the culprits in descending order: 3) Carlos Mendoza 2) David Sterns 1) The players Way to go out on a limb there, guys. I think this is going to turn out to be the transition season that last year was supposed to be.
