Clinton Takes Temporary Leave Of Office To Stand In Line For "Star Wars: Episode 1"

Latest On Mike

Looking to boost their offense, the Twins contacted Piazza's agent, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The 37-year-old Piazza would be willing to split time as a DH and catcher in the American League. "Minnesota called me, and to me there is interest in Mike," agent Dan Lozano said. "Minnesota definitely is a team Mike is willing to listen to. At this point, it's a little bit premature to determine what's going to happen and where Mike's going to end up."

Mets har huket inn Delgado fra Florida Marlins. Delgado hadde 33 HRs i fjor og slo .301.


Riktig mann, feil trøye


Billy Wagner er i tenkeboksen men er veldig fornøyd med tilbudet han fikk fra Mets. Nå venter han på hva Phillies og Red Sox kommer med. Han bestemmer seg i begynnelsen av neste uke.

Ny Closer?

Mets har gjort noen bra offseason-kjøp de siste årene, spesielt Tom Glavine i 2002 og Pedro Martinez og Carlos Beltran i fjor på denne tiden.

Mets trenger sårt forsterkninger på flere plasser. Men førsteprioritet nå må være å huke inn denne karen.


Bill Wagner, Phillies' closer. Han er nå en free agent og dermed fritt vilt på markedet. Mets setter inn støtet kommende mandag og tirsdag hvor de skal vise Wagner alt byen og klubben har å by på.

Gotta believe!

Nationals@Mets, 24. sept. 2005

Noen av dere har sikkert lest dette allerede:

Bottom of the third, Mets already leading 5-0. Leading off for the Nationals, light-hitting (.212, 1 HR, 19 RBI) catcher Gary Bennett. After fouling off one of Tom Glavine's 3-2 pitches, Bennett lifts a fly ball to short right field. Right fielder Marlon Anderson, second baseman Miguel Cairo, and first baseman Doug "Mankiewicz" Mientkiewicz all converge. Cairo makes the catch. Keith Hernandez, providing color commentary, likes what he sees.

Hernandez: This is the pop-up you work on in spring training. The sheriff here is the outfielder, and Marlon defers here to Cairo. It's so important on those plays to use your voice, and scream "I got it, I got it" and "You take it, you take it," whatever.

Play-by-play announcer Ted Robinson adds: "Or as it would be in today's game "yo la tengo." Yo La Tengo of course a long-time New Jersey band, a great success, and huge Met fans. Haven't seen Ira—Ira's the lead singer—usually a regular. Haven't had a chance to see Ira this year."

Hernandez: (silence)

Yo La Tengo!

One day in 1962, New York Mets centerfielder Richie Ashburn learned to scream "Yo La Tengo!" ("I got it" in Spanish) in order to prevent collisions with Venezuelan-born shortstop Elio Chacon. During a game a few days later, Ashburn exclaimed "Yo La Tengo!" - and was promptly hammered by an English-speaking teammate - rightfielder Frank Thomas.

Sure would like to see (or hear) that!
