    He's 6 years younger than Easley and might suck a little less next year.

    Good utility guy. comfortable in that role. I just hope he doesn't wind up being our starting second baseman as the season wears on.

    I liked the Cora signing...I'm worried about this starting pitcher situation though.

    The team needs to add a couple more decent guys for the bench.

    I agree with all the assessments being said. Cora's a solid bench guy but the Mets need someone who will be the starting second basemen all season long. The past 3 years the position has been by committee.

    I'm still holding out hope that Murphy will be the 2nd baseman and Manny is signed to play the OF.

    I think they need both sheets and ollie. Sheets because of health is a wild card and they have Neise or Redding as insurance.

    Between the unknowns of Maine (health), Ollie (head), Sheets (health)and to a lessor degree Santana (just had knee surgury) you will have a year of solid pitching. If they are able to stay healthy you could have a great staff!

    Santana
    Pelfrey
    Sheets
    Maine
    Perez
    Neise
    Redding

    Looks like they smacked the left field side back all the way to the Gate A ticket booths. Section 32-48 are gone.

    edit: yup

    It was in response to something 17a_tailgater wrote.
    Baseball is supposed to chop down wood like a beaver.

    Haven't you seen Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery?

    This means that a famous spot is now gone - the only place in the upper deck ever hit in fair territory (Section 48, Tommie Agee, April 10, 1969).

    They cut it out of the bleachers before demolition, which was nice.

    They probably give it to some rich dude who works with the companies, which isn't.

    I've read that it will be "displayed in some fashion" at Citi Field.

    I tracked it down - this was in Wikipedia:

    Of course, Wikipedia is not always correct.
