Pedro Applesauce - Wright is one of league's worst fielders, Mets should avoid Vlad, Pedro to start game 2

Not sure if there’s any truth to it, but I’ve always heard that it’s the water that makes the difference. But I think it just comes down to taste, and perhaps certain regions never developed the taste for pizza and bagels made the way that we (current and former) New Yorkers like them. I’m not sure if that is really the reason, but there’s no accounting for taste. I mean I know someone who actually likes Dominoes and thinks its better than NYC pizza. And for that matter, why on Earth are there even Dominoes and Pizza Huts in New York? (Don’t get me started on the Olive Garden in Times Square).

They found that a panel of tasters preferred the pizza made with NYC tap water.

True because when I need a sandwich, I need to be asked a 100 questions by a touch screen. Also, no cheddar cheese in philadelphia. Seriously, ask for it sometime

I’ve been to Wawa’s in south jersey and they are great when you need something quick. So that’s one thing Philly does better than NY, can anyone think of anything else?

go yankees (i guess), but i wouldn’t mind him pitching awesomely but the Phillies O putting up an embarrassing showing.

I like Tom Glavine, and dislike Pedro Martinez.

Glavine, at least he was cheaper ($42.5 million dollars over four years), and was a much bigger contributer to the team during his tenure- without his 15 wins, we might not have made it to the playoffs in 2006, in theory. Glavine is much maligned, for being a Brave, and having that one bad game at the end of 2007 (a game that he could have only, in theory, given up two runs, and still lost. The offense disappeared completely against a wild Willis and Florida bullpen), but he consistently put up 30+ starts, 180+ innings, and had an average ERA of 3.85 during his tenure with us.

We spent $53 million dollars on the guy over four seasons, and he pitched only one good one (2005, a year in which nothing much was going on), basically giving us a $53 million dollar contract for one year, and 17 subsequent scattered wins over 269 innings, three more seasons, a bunch of trips to the DL, and various claims that he’s fine, he’s better, he’s 100% healthy, and he’s better than he’s felt in years. Basically, if he hadn’t BSed us with his shuttling back and forth on the DL, and then claiming to be fully healthy when, admittedly in retrospect, he was not, we would have had a healthy Pedro Martinez (evident by his performance with the Phillies) either in 2007 or 2008. And, obviously, that would have helped both campaigns greatly. And then, in the end, he has the “gall” to act like the “victim” when he wasn’t given the inflated contract that he thought he deserved by the Mets (the $5 million dollar +/- with incentives contract he was reportedly seeking, much like John Smoltz’s contract).
