Changed my mind, you guys.
I want Frenchy back.
Ken Davidoff Makes Sense
A little explanation of his feeling on the "illegality" argument set forth by some PED moralists/Hall of Fame voters, and a small tidbit on the Dickey/Kilimanjaro non-story.
It's Always Gut Check Time!
centerpede101 got a job at ESPN.com. Good work, buddy.
Cole Hamels looks like he could use a hug after giving up that home run to Val Pascucci.
EDIT: Here's a link to my original screengrab, in case anyone has any use for it.
LOL Hamels
If the linked photo isn't ripe for some MS Paint action, I don't know what is.
Maybe next spring when we have our media workshop, Fred can come and sit in.

Jon Matlack (eventually) begat David Wright
Cool chart from The Platoon Advantage that shows how the Mets' #4 draft pick in 1967 eventually turned into David Wright.
I knew about Bobby Bonilla . . .
. . . I was not, however, aware that "Bret Saberhagen, who left [the Mets] in 1995 [] is owed $250,000 annually through 2029."
Wowie zowie.
Ah-ha. This explains everything.
Now we know why the Mets have won the last two games.
Murray Chass: He Can't, He Won't, and He Don't Stop.
Murray's one-man crusade against Mike Piazza and bacne continues unabated.
As inspired by Pat Andriola during the 12th inning of last night/this morning's ballgame.

the Mets just 3 and 8 in their last 11 cuz the clubhouse chemistry has taken a hit with the expected & than return of Beltran and Castillo.
Weird Gary Carter Video (UPDATED).
Seems like the guy who took this was attempting to provoke Carter and, for me, he ends up looking like the bigger a-hole. Just a weird little clip.
UPDATE: OK, the guy who made this video really, REALLY doesn't like Gary Carter.
So Beltran will start Thursday, play center field and hit cleanup. And Pagan will start in right.
This twitter thing, followed by this twitter thing.
The Song Is Working.
David Wright is now less than 23,000 votes behind Placido Polanco in All-Star voting with just two days to go.
Vote here.
Lenny Dykstra Keeps Getting Worse (allegedly).
Philadelphia Phillies legend Lenny Dykstra is alleged to have accepted $250,000 in stock from a company in exchange for his "buy" recommendation and access to Jim Cramer.
R.A. Dickey and his gloves.
I, for one, was not aware that the knuckleballer on the staff was responsible for carrying the special catcher's mitt.
Whoa. Too much?
Mets fan has tattoos of 35 player names, in addition to other Mets-related designs.
time to give jerry manuel an extension. he fostered positive vibe around #mets.
Jason Phillips is a Smooth Operator
Via Ted Berg, this is a very cool story about the former Met/current Mariners bullpen catcher, and how he met his future wife.
Oliver Perez May Remain Disabled
So saith MLB.
Cool non-Mets reading.
Here's a story about the corked bats that Pete Rose used in 1985 while chasing the all-time hits record, and the people who now own some of those bats.

Murphy diagnosed with "high-grade" MCL tear of right knee. No surgery, but will be out 4-6 months. Ouch.
Is anyone close to Binghamton?
If so, someone needs to get on top of this event.
Dayn Perry Is Opposed to Pitcher Wins
Nice to see another writer in the mainstream acknowledge that pitcher W/L is a worthless measurement.
Also, some of the comments are gold, Jerry, gold!
Confirming Adam Rubin
I received the following e-mail from Jeff at Cot's Baseball Contracts: "I've double-checked, and Rubin is right. The option vests with 80 games." Feel free to adjust your Alex Cora Vesting Clocks accordingly.
Chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon has decided to come down to Atlanta to join general manager Omar Minaya, a team official confirms.
via Adam Rubin. Perhaps things are about to happen down Georgia way?
Tonight's line-up: Jose, Luis, Jay Bay Bay, Animal, Dub, Iked Avis, God Barajas, GMJ.
So, Carter cleans up again and Pagan sits for no apparent reason. Is this Jerry's "I don't care if I get fired" line-up?
Return of the Mack
Welcome back to the org, Val Pascucci. Enjoy Buffalo.
This is also an excuse to once again link to this video.
