Does anyone remember one season inside the yearbook, they had all the Mets third basemen with a little black and white picture of each guy? Didn’t even Kingman play 3B for a game?

What do you mean what happened to Jason Bay? He’s still here. I saw him just a little while ago going 0-for-3.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

My theory is that it’s an injury having to do with his fingers, which prevents him from throwing certain pitches with the frequency that he used to. With a decreased arsenal, a 93-MPH fastball is all too hittable.

yes, Pelf is undependable now, but on top of that they will trot out RA Dickey or J Santana, he’ll pitch beautifully and can’t score a blasted run for them. hoping this is a funk, but fearing it’s not…so the story of 2010 is “what the hell happened to Jason Bay?”

[...] most of us clicked off the television in disgust last night, Greg Prince hung in there long enough to report that Justin Turner came in to play for David Wright …and thus, became the 141st third baseman in the history of the NY Mets. Where have you gone, Roy [...]

Provided that there’s nothing physically wrong with Pelfrey, this is really it for him here. If he can’t turn himself around and work his way through this stretch, there’s no reason to believe he ever will. Enough with the waiting on this guy to develop, do it and do it now or go find yourself in Pittsburgh or Baltimore or some other baseball Siberia next year.

Sounds good in the light of day. If Beltran can be Beltran and Castillo can be not bad, I don’t think we’re doomed. Tough to transform on the fly when two guys are coming back from injuries and Reyes’s oblique may or may not be a ticking time bomb.

Linz, Mantilla, part of the story
Randle and Phillips
And Youngblood and Torre
Moock, Hunt & Hurdle
No hoi polloi
Gardenhire and Klaus and Foy

I seem to recall Smith was placed on the “opponents” team which drove Howie nuts since Smith indeed set the Mets’ 3B HR record.

get ourselves sauced out of our gourds while I read select passages from “Nails” by Lenny Dykstra. (Fuckin’ sweet.)

If somebody’s bucking for a spot on the next bill, he might have just earned one.

As if “Shea” isn’t Mets-related enough.

Per my “anonymous” crack, it merits noting Justin Turner has never heard of me either.
