And Jeter didn't homer off Benitez in '96. And Brady fumbled in the snow at Foxboro Stadium. But the defining moment of this season was not a blown call. It was the season this team showed they're a force to be reckoned with in this conference. And I don't think we've heard the last of them.

He's below average defensively, but believed to be better in the corner outfield positions. Left field is probably where his future would be.

Lefty bat, below average defensively, won't wow anybody with his glove, but he won't cost you ballgames. Also, those numbers are with a historically bad Pawtucket team offensively. That .279 AVG leads the team by 36 points, the OBP by 34 points, and he leads the team in home runs, RBI, slugging, extra base hits, hits, and runs scored. It's not like the Mets are getting a top 10 prospect, but they are getting a guy who can contribute at the major league level, and has the tape measure power necessary to hit the ball out of Citi Field.

Maybe a trade? A free agent signing? 1986 throwbacks? ANYTHING???

I think they might need some more time to stretch out Parnell.

Also, 10 Cubs, 8 Red Sox, 8 Giants, and 7 Yankees. More than a third of the guys coming from 4 large-market teams that were playoff teams in '03? Not buying it. And if you look at the list, it's separated by division, and by each team within the division. But occasionally, there's a guy in the wrong spot (Example: Ollie Perez mixed in among a bunch of Dodgers.) It seems like a bunch of BS Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:17:07 +0000 http://theropolitans.com/2009/06/completely-unfounded-rumor-steroid-list.html#IDComment25907921 http://theropolitans.com/2009/06/ollies-next-stop-buffalo.html#IDComment25907332 It's a 6:05 start, and there will be post-game fireworks, plus an Independence Eve concert by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Let's hope the fireworks are solely post-game.

Green, Catalanotto, the Boone brothers, Jerry Hairston, Brian Roberts, etc. Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:00:51 +0000 http://theropolitans.com/2009/06/completely-unfounded-rumor-steroid-list.html#IDComment25907134 http://theropolitans.com/2009/06/manuels-musing-for-june-13.html#IDComment24208371 Really, Jerry?

And the buried David Ortiz jersey didn't really work out very well, did it? Thanks a lot to that dumb@$$.

I would rather have five Fernandos than five corner outfielders.

If it's the Nationals, though, I hope he has the sense to hang it up. Thu, 4 Jun 2009 19:52:40 +0000 http://theropolitans.com/2009/06/ex-mets-tom-glavine-released-by-braves.html#IDComment23390212
