The Mets need to go 49-3 to win 100 games.
Saw this in Newsday and it confuses me:
The manager hoped that converting Parnell to a starter would force him to develop his secondary pitches, namely the slider and changeup. But he stuck to his mid-90s fastball and that was not enough to overpower the Padres. Of his 68 pitches, he threw 57 fastballs.
Is Parnell calling his own game? Who asked for 57 fastballs?
Good job out of the 700 Level coming up with a definition of “Citifelled” I will give you enough to get you inetersted then you go click the link. Citifelled: to be undermined by those persons or dugout steps or athletic trainers standing next to you on the mound intended to aid your quest; to be betrayed by a friend or one’s own weakness
I let the 700 level know they should be nice to us or we will have Mike Schmidt Day at Citi and invite him.
I think it’s great that only one company will be making baseball cards in 2010, and the boy in me is glad that the company is Topps. Great point here (and more details) – baseball cards (like comic books) got ruined when there were way two many to collect. When we were kids you traded with your friends to get all 700 or so cards. Then you were done. Now, I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Hopefully Topps just puts out one set for 2010.
Here is a GREAT photo gallery from the National Sports Collector’s Convention. Trust me. Check out the seats on Page 4. Pennants on page 5. I should have taken more care of my Happy Days lunchbox. Awesome football bobbleheads on page 15.
The “I’m Calling It Shea” guy has branched out.
According to Uni Watch, Santana is 0-3 with an ERA over 10 while wearing black. I think it’s clear that if anyone is to blame for 2009 it is Charlie Samuels.
Coming Attractions:
Come back tonight for some pictures of awful Mets hats, and some Mets sneakers. I’ll have some other things between now and then, I just haven’t written them yet.
Monday: a possible site for the Mets Hall of Fame?
Tuesday: did the Mets honor the NY baseball Giants and we didn’t notice? It’s not impressive.
Wednesday: the Mets Police guide to being cheap about parking.

Lack of competition is always a bad thing and causes price gouging as well as a lesser product.
Antitrust laws in the United States make the Topps/MLB deal illegal and everyone who is a sports card collector should contact their congressman about it.
