  1. Convicted felon whose team's success was built largely on the fact that he was suspended from baseball and had nothing to do with them at the time they became successful. Put that on his tombstone.
  2. Cue the Bill Gallo cartoon with General Von Steingrabber and Sheppard sitting in clouds looking down upon the Yankees/Yankee Stadium and saying something along the lines of 'We left them in good shape...' Gag me. Ding Dong the witch is dead.
  3. What's up with Reese Havens? Wasn't he lighting the world on fire with his bat and playing 2B at Bingo?

Because I think that could run for a few seasons, I'd rather use my trade assets on someone I know can help this year and next rather than using all my chips on the chance to win it all this year. And maybe I can still get Lee in the offseason. Being true to your moniker there Dreamer. Wouldn't you have said the same thing about John Maine 2-3 years ago...?
  5. I'll boor them both.

  7. Check it though - little turtleneck peeking out from Clemente in the first & second photos. Not so in the Kranepool pic.
  8. Sorry for your loss. My comics are in individual plastic bags with cardboard sheets in boxes in the attic and all my Mets stuff is on shelves in the basement similarly protected. It was a hard lesson learned for me as well. 'Never again!' I said and still say.
  9. Well how many Freakin' 'Ricans does each team have...? [u:2iq775a4]Los Mets[/u:2iq775a4]: Beltran (DL) Cora Pagan J. Feliciano P. Feliciano Santos (Minors) [u:2iq775a4]Los Marlins[/u:2iq775a4]: None Yeah - the Mets will probably have more fans than the Marlins.
  10. That's great Jeff, now go beat the Marlins.

  12. Kojak Feliciano went 3-5 with 2 runs scored last night. Again - Just sayin'.
  13. Because you are a Mets fan and that's how we roll.

Just sayin'. batmagadanleadoff wrote: ...a baseball peeve of mine is hearing a team say they're looking for a number five pitcher, or a number four pitcher. What the hell does that mean? I take that to mean how much they want to pay a guy and/or how much they'd be willing to give up to get a guy.
  15. metsmarathon wrote: is it worth mejia and fartinez? um... i dunno... Is it worth Fartinez & Mejia if Lee signs an extension? I think so.
  16. Patricia and Giselle Bundchen, 1st and 3rd base coaches.
  17. Michael and Ashton Kutcher, bench
  18. If Lee is only going to be a rental I'd be averse to even giving them Mejia. For a rental they get a pitching prospect and a young position player that the Mets have no place for. Maybe throw another body at them as well. If Lee will negotiate an extension, well then we're talking. Give them Mejia and Fartinez and let them pick another hotshot from the minors. If they are bent on Pagan, I'd consider it and maybe I'd pull the trigger on that gambling that Beltran will be okay. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'm jealous of a guy like Omar, but in reality I couldn't do that job.
  19. metirish wrote: Karim Garcia and Torasco?.....or Spencer ,right? Garcia and Spencer - yup and yup. metirish wrote: yankee douchebags all the way. Yup.
  20. Who were the two guys that caught peeing in public during spring training one year?
  21. Hey! I got one! I remember McRae because he had a torrid streak that made everybody believe Steve Phillips was a genius. I also went to a game in Fenway during Brian's tenure that the Mets won 1-0 - McRae scored the run - on a Wakefield balk.
  22. smg58 wrote: Chad Ochoseis wrote: The Mets, no strangers to players accused of sleazy sexcapades OK, beats me. I can think of Ambiorix Burgos (which was sleazy, but not a "sexcapade") and, if you want to stretch to recent scandals involving Mets of yesteryear, Art Shamsky's divorce looniness. Anything else this decade? I'll wager she was thinking that some of Steve Phillips' misadventures came out while he was still employed here. She'd be right.
  23. 1997: Brian McRae
