Id figure

walks are bad to be grissiony. So Frenchie and Kingman would totally be grissiony

by MetsKnicksRutgers on Sep 15, 2009 9:06 PM EDT reply actions  

point taken

walks will be eliminated from consideration

Cora is second in

Grission per PA

Jose is beating Francoeur

in grission per PA. That can’t be possible.

by EtSuKe on Sep 15, 2009 10:00 PM EDT reply actions  

it's because Frenchy has a smaller sample size

I should do it for his full season stats

I'm not surprised Murph's got grission.

He means business.

You forgot to dock points for players who aren't white

Remember, Latin players have the least grission. Black can be tricky though. Guys like Rollins and Howard are good, but guys like Milledge are bad.

Making guarantees = +grission

High-fiving the fans who pay your salary (more or less) in a spontaneous fun moment for a 22 year-old = -grission and an affront to everyone who has ever played baseball ever

Unless it's Beltran

It just makes him a big giant wuss.

by SuperT on Sep 16, 2009 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

simple

black players lose like 20 grission points, but playing for the Phillies gains you an automatic 50, so they’re actually 30 points up. Playing for the Mets debits you an automatic 50 points, so our black players start out at -70.

Yeah, I'm gonna make a couple of changes

Based on last night's fight with the Jays....

I would say Posada would be #1 on the list if he were a Met ?

Unless you have to take off points for the big dumbo ears.

by fxcarden on Sep 16, 2009 10:44 AM EDT reply actions  

Yeah

because being a gigantic asshole is pretty grissiony if it leads to bench-clearing brawls. I think he still has leftover roid rage.

remember back in '07

when everyone was saying the Mets were blowing it b/c they didn’t have any fight in them and they needed to fight and act like 25 Rocky’s or something, and then they fought the Marlins in Game 161. Yea, fighting really helped.

by cjmulrain on Sep 17, 2009 12:22 AM EDT up reply actions  

i was at game 161

What an awesome game that was. I’d like to switch that game around with 162, so at least we’d be disappointed before the end of the season, and ended on a high note.

I was at game 162

what an awesome game that was not. The only good thing about that day was I went straight from Shea Stadium to Giants Stadium and got to watch the Giants pound Donovan McNabb into the ground 12 times.

by cjmulrain on Sep 17, 2009 12:48 AM EDT up reply actions  

that actually sounds awesome.

i remember that game as well. I heart Osi.

I forgot that was the same day

I guess I was just so annoyed at the mets that I completely forgot about that. That was fun to watch.

Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

by meigs1414 on Sep 17, 2009 11:52 AM EDT up reply actions  

Though in seriousness

There is nothing wrong and much that is natural in rooting for Eckstein/Murphy-like underdogs.

In a rational world, Short-Swingz would come in behind, since he’s more of a marginal player who plays like a marginal player.

Nothing can get by him; especially in a small room: Mike Francessa

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
