Anyone remember the 90s sketch comedy show that's from?

[Athena]

Have a great time, Ed. Your daughter must be so excited!

[Alex Nelson]

Shameless plug time! Just wanted to point out that the Amazin' Avenue Annual is here and ready for download. Eric and I have been working ridiculously hard on this baby, and it features contributions from many writers across Metsland and beyond, not to mention an awesome foreword by Tim Marchman. It's an honest-to-God book with 340 pages of content. And here's the best part: it's absolutely free. The PDF is completely free to download here (http://www.amazinavenueannual.com/), and we'll have Kindle and print editions available for purchase (at cost) next week for those who don't like reading off computers (like me).

[Ed in Westchester]

Oooh, thanks for the reminder Alex. I'll be buying the Kindle Version.
I'm already getting AA on my Kindle.

[Ed in Westchester]

She is very excited. My first field trip.
I'm on a school bus right now, first time since 1987.
So bumpy.

Good morning all. Viruses and traveling to the other buildings. What a Friday this will be.

Look who is back in business. Former Met Lenny Dykstra. He'll sell you stock tips along with an autographed baseball for $999. Don't let the fact that he filed for bankruptcy and had his home foreclosed cloud your thinking.

[Bob A. Booey]

lunky you need me to watch yr back ????

[C Low's Doppelganger]

Mornin Geeks.

Ed/Dep - Jets just traded for Cromartie. Revis has some help now. Cromartie is the dude that didn't attempt to tackle Greene on the 50+ yd rushing TD in the playoffs. Hopefully Rex and Scott whips him into TEAM FIRST. He has a HIGH ceiling.

Apparently, it's "non-baseball related".

[sheadenizen]

hahahah Jose's scratched again. This season is going to suck, isn't it?

Did they give a reason?...not that I'd believe it.

[sheadenizen]

found the answer myself

Adam Rubin of the Daily News says Jose Reyes will be leaving Port St. Lucie for New York to have further testing performed on Monday, as he potentially has imbalanced thyroid levels.
There's no doctors in Florida who could administer tests?

[sheadenizen]

Maybe Dr. Galea was spinning more than blood. They better test beltran too!

[Ed in Westchester]

Great, Jose got gonoreha

[Bob A. Booey]

There's no doctors in Florida who could administer tests? shea this is the same team that flys guys to nyc for an mri ,,, :)

[Dep]

jose is pregnant?

[Lunkwill Fook]

Word came out yesterday that Billy Wagner and Fred Wilpon had a mutual understanding in place that the Mets would not pick up Wagner's option because Wagner wanted to go to a team that would let him be a Closer. If Wagner's number 1 concern was recording saves why didn't the Mets hang on to him and offer him arbitration knowing that he would decline so that he could sign elsewhere and save games? Basically trading 2 high draft picks (first and sandwich round) for Chris Carter (the not good one) has to be one of the worst decisions of 2009, right?
Klaw
(12:03 PM)


Let's just get right into it. Yes, it's one of the worst decisions of 2009 and one of the worst related to the draft since the Giants signed Michael Tucker..

[Ed in Westchester]

Great, Jose got gonoreha didn't he?

[Dep]

haha i think i joked that the wilpons promised billy that

sad

[Lunkwill Fook]

Steve (NJ)


Trust me, I am no fan of the Mets' incompetence, but aren't you ignoring the $2-3M the Mets saved by passing Wagner to the Sox? The 2 draft picks are probably still worth the money, but it does make it a little more understandable.
Klaw
(12:15 PM)


A team in New York playing in a brand new taxpayer-funded-boondoggle stadium should not be economizing by taking $2 million instead of two picks. They should be using the picks to sign top prospects who fell because of signability..

[Lunkwill Fook]

Steve (PA)


I heard today that jose reyes is scratched, how big a concern is this for the mets?
Klaw
(12:19 PM)


Does he need a band-aid?.

[Dep]

haha using draft picks n money to our advantage

surely you jest K-LAW

[Lunkwill Fook]

Jeff Wilpon (NYC)


Me again, as my new GM, what are you going to do with Mejia this year?
Klaw
(12:45 PM)


Minors as a starter. No objection to breaking him in as a reliever, but not right now..

[Lunkwill Fook]

haha At least this makes me feel good:


Rodney (VA)


It's a given you have a vendetta against the Phillies but could it be possible that J.A Happ just knows how to pitch? Numbers don't tell everything. If numbers did the Dodgers would have beat the Phillies in the NLCS last year....like you predicted.
Klaw
(12:50 PM)


Actually, I picked the Phillies to win that series. And Tom Tango just wrote a piece the other day on Fangraphs further debunking the myth of Happ just having some sort of magic or mojo or The Force that makes him better than your typical no-stuff-can't-miss-a-bat fifth starter. So, in conclusion, you fail the chat.

[sheadenizen]

The mets have a major personality flaw.....they always want to appear to be the good guy. Do nothing to upset anyone. ie. Selig ( don't go over slot)...Wagner make your departing players happy ( at the expense of the team.) They would rather look like good guys ( in their eyes) not realizing they look like morons in the eyes of the fan base....and media.

To be fair, Wags was a homegrown player who led us to multiple WS titles and deserved such respect.

[Bob A. Booey]

danny where you been man ??

[Danny]

Hey BOOEY! I've been busy as heck with not much access to the Internet. But now it's baseball season, so I have replaced my priorities to their rightful place.

[Dep]

LMAO lunk. nice sign.

this is funny too




sooooo you get some last nite?!?!?!?

[Dep]

Wagner was really like part player, part coach, part owner, part super hero

[Dep]

mannnnn i feel hungover n didnt even drink!

why you do me wrong!??!?!

mejia pitching 2 today and Kyle Allen!

best ST game evah!

[Bob A. Booey]

cool welcome back danny ,,,,, i have a feeling we are in a for a lonnngg year with los mets ,,,,

[Dep]

its only going to be a long year if you have expectations

expect nothing
demand everything!

[Danny]

I'm starting to get real scared about 7. They are being shady again about him. This team really sucks without 7 and 15. But we can be surprisingly good with them because I like a lot of the younger guys.

[Danny]

IKE totally changed his swing and he's real quick through the zone. He still drops his hands a little before swinging but he DESTROYS the fastballs. He still gets pwned most of the time with the offspeed stuff but hopefully he continues to improve in that regard. I'm excited about him.

[Dep]

he'll be fine after they amputate his legs

they're building replacements out of dirt as we speak

[Dep]

AA has an awesome piece on Ike's swing from a few days ago

[Dep]

Flies keep dropping: Bullpen coach Randy Niemann to undergo surgery on torn meniscus in left kne [sic]..

[Dep]

Ike is going to hit 40 home runs and strike out 150 times hehe

[Danny]

That was awesome, Dep. His balance is so much better while using his legs so his hands get through the zone so much qucker and on a better plane. That's neat.

[sheadenizen]

To be fair, Wags was a homegrown player who led us to multiple WS titles and deserved such respect.

I don't know how I possibly forgot this. Thanks for the reminder!

me, too. I only hope he remembers how to catch a ball. Hope all this hype doesn't go to his head.

[Danny]

Hi Shea! He was pretty mad at himself about that so I think he's one of those guys who really takes pride in his defense. He seems to have the physical tools to be good over there. He's more of a natural athlete than Danny Boy certainly.

[Dep]

Lineup

1. Angel Pagan, CF
2. Luis Castillo, 2B
3. David Wright, 3B
4. Jason Bay, LF
5. Daniel Murphy, 1B
6. Rod Barajas, C
7. Jesus Feliciano, RF
8. Luis Hernandez, SS
9. Kai Gronauer, DH

never heard of that DH


LHP Jon Niese will start for the Mets against the Marlins, and RHP Jenrry Mejia, LHP Pedro Feliciano, RHP Bobby Parnell, RHP Ryota Igarashi, and LHP Eric Niesen are also expected to pitch.

[Chris in Ga]

Kal hit a homer when I saw him last yr for the gnats. Kyle better pitch. I'll be disappointed. He at least is in uni

[Danny]

Gronauer sounds like he might be one of those Europeans ballers we got from the Netherlands or something. It's not ringing a bell for me at all.

Alright yallz, I have to go but LGM! today!

[sheadenizen]

Chris, half the team is in Jupiter to play the Cards. Could Kyle Allen be pitching there? No TV coverage if that's the case.

[Dep]

If jose does have hyper thyroidism, what does that mean? I heard surgery could be necessary to remove it. The kid can't catch a break

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

This is what happens when you spin your blood too fast

[Lunkwill Fook]

I think you can take meds for it as well.

[Rave]

I’m looking forward to the kindle version of the AA annual.

(Sidenote: kindle is an awesome invention. Less clutter around the house and less weight to lug around when travelling.)

Thyroid imbalance is an unlikely disease for an athlete. I suppose the test they’re doing is to look for nodules, which would require an operation. Otherwise, it can be controlled with diet and medication.

[sheadenizen]

If jose does have hyper thyroidism, what does that mean? I heard surgery could be necessary to remove it. The kid can't catch a break

Of course none of us know what exactly Jose has...


There are three treatments for hyperthyroidism. Antithyroid medication and radioactive iodine are the ones doctors use most often. In rare cases, surgery may be done. Even if your symptoms are not bothering you, you still need treatment, because hyperthyroidism can lead to more serious problems.

[Chris in Ga]

I hope jose's head doesn't expand and makes his head look disproportionate to his body

Exactly what I said, which is why I suggested beltran be tested as well. No use having him rehab and THEN find out he's hyper. But with beltran...hyper might be better. he's so laid back!

Jose being an athlete would actually have no bearing on the likelihood. It has nothing to do with underlying health. But men don't develop it anywhere near as often as women. So his odds are decent for that reason.

They could be looking for nodules, or his thyroid levels could be off. If he's too low (hypo), that's very easy to treat. They just supplement with a synthetic hormone.

If it is too high (hyper) the three choices that Shea mention are correct. Meds can be difficult to calibrate properly and he might not feel quite like himself for a long time. It can take some time to get it right. Radio iodine is easy-peasy (but he could well need meds for a long time afterwards).

Either way, it's a very common condition, and very controllable. But if it has to be one of them, I'm hoping for hypo.

[sheadenizen]

Oh. Well that sucks. Hope it is a mild case. At best, he'll hardly notice it once he starts the meds. But the extreme case has implications for flexibility, muscle mass, heat tolerance and a lot of other little things. That would be a pretty bad case, though. And the meds would control it once they figured out the right dosage.

[Athena]

Of course, if he is not feeling any symptoms and they needed the test to even find it, it can't be all that serious. Small dose of medication should fix him right up.

I hope.

In between the back fields, the team is checking out a collection of minor league free agents, essentially trying out.

They’re not in Mets gear, naturally, with one pitcher actually wearing a Texas Rangers cap.

The team’s youngest catchers from the minor league side are on the recievining end as a handful of coaches look on..

We're laughing now, but someone will do it and you guys will kick yourselves!

One of the treatments for hypo-thyroid is.....HGH!

So, hypothetically, if someone were to take HGH who had a normal thyroid, would that cause a hyper-thyroid?

Feliciano is pagan-ing it on the basepaths.

he was trying to steal a base. so what?

[peejay]

i am not getting the mets on tv today :(

mlb has the skanks getting destroyed by the rays 7-0 so it isn't a total loss

[peejay]

rays player is a single away from going Valent. it is the top of the 4th.

[Dep]

haha, Mejia is awesome

[Future]

Wow. Mejia. Orgasm.

[Dep]

i have a link for the game PJ but you need to have like TVants or some other stream program installed

[sheadenizen]

I have the Yanks on YES. Do you get YES, pj?

It was Joba who gave it all up. I hope the mets see what's going on there in the bronx and what moving this kid between starter and reliever has done.
They best not try this with mejia. Make him a starter and leave him alone.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Finally back at my desk. How did Mejia do?

[Lunkwill Fook]

Yay! I just got MLB The Show 2010 in the mail!

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Can you fire Omar in that game?

[sheadenizen]

Finally back at my desk. How did Mejia do?

He was very impressive. Had a quite a few K's...don't remember how many. I don't think he walked anyone . No hits either.
His control looked very good.

[Dep]

Finally back at my desk. How did Mejia do?

he was basically black jesus

didnt really show much of a curve but flashed the change and his fastball is basically god's peepee

[Lunkwill Fook]

Can you fire Omar in that game?

Well, considering you essentially replace Omar.... yes.

[Lunkwill Fook]

I wish Mejia was my love child.

[Dep]

Yay! I just got MLB The Show 2010 in the mail!

ha, nice.

i have that, heavy rain and badcompany2 all unopened

[Dep]

Ike in the game!

[Lunkwill Fook]

ha, nice.

i have that, heavy rain and badcompany2 all unopened

Heavy Rain, not interested. Bad Company 2 sounds like fun though.

I might have to make this comment my signature. Or take it Kinko's, blow it up large and use it decorate my kitchen. ;-)

[Dep]

Laveranues Coles wants to finish his career with the New York Jets.

It's an interesting thought. The Jets need help at receiver, and although Coles had a disappointing season with the Cincinnati Bengals, he could be a contributor if he comes at the right price and is willing to be the tertiary option behind Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery.

The Bengals released the 32-year-old Coles on Thursday. He told Newark Star-Ledger reporter Dave Hutchinson the Jets would "be the first team we call to see if they're interested."

igarashi gives it up

first one was fun. basic shooter

lol. i would hold out for something better for your sig personally :p

[Dep]

dag, bears signed peppers and chester taylor

crazy

[Dep]

The Chicago whopper: Julius Peppers' contract in Chicago is expected to pay him roughly $40 million in the deal's first three years. /

[Athena]

lol. i would hold out for something better for your sig personally :p

Yeah. I don't actually want a signature. I can't think of anything that I'd like to read that often! ;-)

Edit: That said. It amused me no end.

[sheadenizen]

I was a afraid the Giants would overpay for peppers. Obviously not!

[sheadenizen]

wow! that's some contract. Giants would never do that. Much more a redskins contract. surprised he went to the bears!

[Dep]

peppers turned down a tonnnnn more money from the panthers i believe at some point

oops for him

[Ellis Dee]

Wut up, Iga?

Relax and sip a Mejia!

[sheadenizen]

peppers turned down a tonnnnn more money from the panthers i believe at some point

oops for him

maybe boras got involved. told him to hold out and he'd get him a deal like he got for damon! :)

[Rave]

Iggy should be demoted for giving up a HR to Bonifacio, of all people.

[Dep]

Iggy gave up a lottt of hard hit balls

[Dep]

sip a mejia is pretty funny

[Future]

I think he's getting all this guaranteed though. I don't think he would have gotten that with the Panthers.

[Dep]

we'll see i dont think all the details are out just yet.

i see 40 over the first 3, that's probly guaranteed, but we'll see how much more

[Danny]

JENRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY

[Dep]

jenrry was impressive

danny, you gotta download the AA annual at some point. you'll love it

[Danny]

Despki, I downloaded it but have not yet perused it. I imagine it's neat.

Mejia being Gooden would be so effin cool (and needed). How can we ensure this?

Keep him away from Jerry Manuel as much as possible.

you mean short of getting him out of the mets organization?

lots of coke and whores

yea, its damn impressive. i'm blown away they give it away for free. just the prospect stuff alone is amazing.

Fire Tony B. (check)
Fire Jerry (TBD)
Hide la cocaina (TBD)

[sheadenizen]

I seriously hope they don't rush him Danny. And I hope they don't yank him back and forth from starter to reliever.

[Athena]

lots of coke and whores

Bingo

[DL]

did mejia go today?

and is this jose stuff any real cause for concern?

[Danny]

I'll take coke and whores for 5 or 6 great years, I'm desperate here.

[sheadenizen]

yes, mejia looked great. 4 K's. no hits. no walks in 2.1 innings, I think.
don't know about Jose. He'll be out for at least a week.

[Dep]

hahaha, someone yelled BOB A BOOEY on TV

[Lunkwill Fook]

Mejia MUST be a starter. I don't care about closers. I just don't care. I want Mejia to put up a 20 win, 200 strikeout season. When's the last time we saw one of those? (The answer will ASTOUND you.)

[Dep]

did mejia go today?

and is this jose stuff any real cause for concern?

yes. he was awesome.

probly.

[Lunkwill Fook]

By the way, I'd like to remind everyone that we haven't had a 20 game winner since Frank Viola.
