Will Carroll misspelled it

and I took my cues from him. The lesson? Never listen to Will Carroll.

wow

we’re like the Yankees of the DL

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09

It's a lovely chart

Is it really fair to give all the credit to the training staff while ignoring the fact that some teams are just unlucky, or more importantly choose players that are more pre-disposed to injury?

I wouldn’t blame a team’s training staff if the entire team was maimed in a bus accident.

this is why it makes me laugh

listening to jackasses like ed randall talk about why you can’t feel bad for the mets when teams like CIN and TB overcame their injuries woes w/ due to better organizational depth…and then when called on the fact that the mets AAA depth all came up and they got hurt too claimed that niese “wasn’t good anyway” in his brief debut, that fmart was a flawed prospect to begin with, nieve wasn’t even a true met farmhand and angel pagan isn’t a “difference maker”.

why do i still listen to the fan?

Ed Randall is a clown and a phony.

I don’t know what it is about that guy, but you can hear the insincerity in his voice. I don’t think I can say that about anyone else on the radio, anywhere (1010 WINS, the Fan, whatever).

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

wow

to see the numbers and compare it to other teams, the Mets had more money on the DL then some teams spend on their whole team. 1451 games is crazy and $43M or better than 30%

They were the Dick Martin Award winner

for the healthiest team in baseball.

Maybe there is something to this 'grission'...

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
In order to raise extra capital, the Mets have explored signing Kosuke Fukudome to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training (replete with curiously high uniform number).
i saw this on the marlins statue/abomination story. gif in the comments
