Do they go after people if unprovoked?
And did they at least signal?
__________________________________________________
"He who gets the best players usually wins" - Bobby Bowden
Yes and yes
The key is whether poachers are in the area. If elephants have never seen another elephant killed by a human, they are generally docile and curious. If, as where I was, there are poachers, they can be very hostile. They signaled a lot that they were displeased with our presence, and we gave them a wide berth. Remember also that elephants live a very long time and, as the saying goes, never forget. So a poacher decades ago can lead to a pissed off elephant today.

__________________________________________________
"He who gets the best players usually wins" - Bobby Bowden
Not many
Elephants are smart. Even when they were pissed at us, when we made a retreat for show, they seemed to recognize that one with ill intentions would not do that. I’ve had run ins with elephants in the wild about 5 times now (both now and the last time I lived in Africa) and their sense of reason continues ti impress me.

for the record
I predicted 76, so I was right there with you
One day, this team is going to kill me.
I was saying 83 (I think)
And I stand by that had we kept Tron, and if Dubs and Ike played all season.
That's exactly the point though
If everyone stayed healthy we would be a x win team is a fallacy here. With still thin upper minors, crappy utility players, and a bad training staff, overcoming likely adversity is unlikely.

Means we better win 50 games in April and May to make it to the postseason.
And I have a great counterargument in 2 words to .500+ play: Willie Harris.

And I hope he starts ballet and yoga, and esp tae kwon do. His muscles are wound too tight. He needs to work on situational balance and he’ll be a 150 game guy.
But sadly I think that some team needing an attendance boost will pay way too much for a fan pleaser who just won the batting title. Jose is a fun guy and by signing a guy who just won the batting title you insulate yourself, as a GM, from a lot of owner, casual fan, and MSM criticism. When I used to interview lawyer prospects it was known that if you recommend a guy from Harvard with a great GPA, even if the interview raised red flags, if he turned out to be a dud you would be insulated from criticism. If you recommended a guy from a lower tier school who had a great interview and he turned out to be a dud, you caught heat. Same principle.

It’ll be a blow for good managers everywhere. How does Tony La Russa have a job?

He's probably a good manager relative to other managers
And there is more to managing than just the tactics (he’s pretty good at running a bullpen most of the time).
The problem is stuff like the Rasmus situation…

I'm mostly jumping on the bandwagon to be honest
But the few times that I see him manage I am occasionally baffled by in game decisions and some of his lineups (such as Theriot today). Maybe it just proves that managers don’t have much of an impact in game, or maybe I’m way off base. Are you a TLR fan?
This is likely going to post twice.
I could care less about TLR
it just seems to me that his team is almost always in or close to being in the post-season. That’s gotta count for something. Also, nearly everyone connected with baseball speaks highly of him.

TLR?
Except the other day, where the media had a field day with him b/c of dugout phone-gate.

Found it..........LOL
Winner: Derek Cheater
Buy a Jeter jersey, cross out the “J” and write “CH” over it. Then buy a bunch of fake syringes and stick them into various parts of your body. And carry a big fake bottle that says “STEROIDS” on it, but fill it with Altoids. Then, walk around all night introducing yourself as “Derek Cheater.” This is my favorite idea because not only is it funny but Jeter has such a good reputation, and it’s so preposterous that he’d ever cheat — really, he’s one of the top-3 picks in any “Which Guy From the ‘90s and ’00s Definitely Didn’t Cheat” draft — that your costume would get a wide range of reactions ranging from “perplexed” to “truly ticked off,” and people might even yell at you and stuff. Also, you’ll definitely have your choice of romantic suitors because half the guys there will want to have hate sex with the girl brazen enough to wear a “Derek Cheater” costume to a New York Halloween party. Best of luck.

Ah, I should've done my research
I thought gold gloves were worth something a few years ago. That was a crazy time.
And apparently ZOMG good
Per everything I’ve read about McCarver and Buck. Speaking of, reading Joe Pos’s article and the comments I think it nailed my view of McCarver. He was a great announcer in the 80s with the Mets, but what happened? My guess is that he stopped being with the team on the plane, in the hotel, etc., and his ability suffered for it. He and Kiner were just terrific for a while, and though I’m trying to reach back 20+ years here, I think it’s the everyday interaction that made Tim do his job well. Kinda similar to how Ron got slammed doing TBS games, but is a gem on SNY.

That was a great article. It was like a sudden switch during the end of his Mets run.

The 2011 Mets- Rock bottom: We haven't reached it yet
In all seriousness
I like that he doesn’t talk over the game (he lets the game speak for itself). I like that he has a consistent tone throughout the game. I like that he does it alone. I like that he sticks to the play by play or a story about a the player. Nothing tedious, no references to american idol or dancing with the stars. I like that he doesn’t make himself part of the plot (cough joe buck cough).
And most importantly, I like that his voice reminds me of when the Mets ruled baseball and all was right in my world.
I'm in agreement with this
He’s just class.
But have to say, I get many a chuckle from the GKR combo. Some nights as Met fans, we just need that.

Things I did not know: McCarver had a 6 WAR season
I knew he was a solid player, but…
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I didn't know that either, looks like it was mostly due to a big jump in fielding and BB%
Really weird that he decided to walk a bunch one year all of a sudden than go back to his old ways thereafter.
Now who can argue with that?
I think we’re all in debt to Tim McCarver for stating what needed to be said. I am particulary glad that these lovely children are here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed the courage little seen in this day and age.

they were saying today on MLB on XM
that was due to him being told to position differently, and not being too familiar with the park dimensions, he started feeling for the wall………I know it sounds lame, but it also makes sense on some level
One day, this team is going to kill me.
He's not a great outfielder (I don't care what his UZR says). Great arm, but...
He’s not someone who gets great jumps or has great range.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
I thought he got a good jump on it, got to the ball in time
but was afraid of the wall. That was my take anyways.
It makes sense.
But a faster fielder (ENDY!) probably gets there quicker and has a couple extra seconds to find his bearings.

Yes
He is not a good fielder and he has battled injuries in the playoffs. He’s not a good fielder at all and Endy is a fielding god comparatively. Increase your chances to win, put in your best defense. Washington can’t seem to understand this.

I am writing this as a just in case formality. Since I will be taking the exam at the learning center I will not be able to turn in my case 3 paper or Quan journal with it. I will probably be able to turn in my quan journal when I return the test to the Econ office but the case 3 is a different story. I had been planning to email it to you this morning but, at least on south campus the Internet (and the Internet for my room mates) has been down for the last 13 hours and obviously that makes printing equally impossible. In the interest of full disclosure I’m about 70% certain this Internet failure has something to do with sky net becoming sentient last April 11th and Siri is somehow involved and Steve Jobs was the only barrier between them and world domination so I may or may not be bunkering down for the end times after the test, I am not prepared for AI gone wrong but I’ve been preparing for a zombie invasion since the supposed rapture of, May 21st, if not then I will try to see if the Internet it up again so I can send my case 3.

FYI folks:
The Mets are expected to allow other teams to set the market for Jose Reyes this offseason, according to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News.
“Jose is not going to be a quick process,” said one source. “The fan base would love for it to be that way, but a quick process would mean that he will not be a Met. Let him go do the dance, and see how (other teams) value him. Why should we set the market?” With the Mets expecting to cut payroll, club officials have made it clear that if Reyes leaves, 22-year-old Ruben Tejada will replace him. Several reports have speculated that the Nationals, Marlins and Angels could become heavy bidders and that the Mets are unwilling to match Carl Crawford money (six or seven years, $130 million-$140 million) if that’s what the market dictates.

I guess the Nationals want to collect these albatrosses
I expect Jose to leave, so this isn’t news.
Oh pissing blimey there's jam coming out of the walls!
Also those who even were aware
Bobby Parnell came up short of super-2 eligibility so we’ve got some more cost controlled crapiness to work out of him to look forward to

Fucking Fred
with that stupid “Crawford money” line. Way to be asshole.
As to this article, same shit we already knew a while back. I think he’ll stay for something like 5/95 with a 6th year option, but I’m an optimistic motherfucker so my opinion might not be realistic.
What's that about?
Ah, that's a pretty good strategy actually.
The Mets shouldn’t be bidding early on…if the other teams are also weary of going over 5 years, the Mets can swoop in and grab him. No reason to start the bidding or piss Reyes off with a bid that’s too low.

Yeah,
I saw Martino on DNL at 5pm today talking about this.
I have no problem with Sandy letting the market set itself. They’re not going to sign him in the exclusive window unless they blow him away with an offer. And that’s not going to happen – not Sandy’s MO. They’ve probably got a cutoff in years and $$ they’re willing to go and if they’re around the ballpark of all other offers, there’s a chance. If not, well….sigh….
