    I think you me smaller (grins).Actually..I only burn when my arthritis kicks up.What's the news on Vargas?

    Anyone else immediately think of Mr. Vargas from Fast Times instead of Jason Vargas?

     

     

    in all seriousness I read a tweet from Rubin saying Nats pitchers Drew Storen had same injury in ST 2015 and didn’t even need a DL trip so there’s a good shot he will only miss one turn in the rotation with all the off days in April. 

     

     

    Ok so Matz looked very sharp today against one of the best lineups in not only baseball but one of the best in a long time. Correa mashes lefties anyhow so only he did the damage. 9K’s, didn’t go into usual meltdown mode after the HR, had Altuve at 3-1 count and came back to K him. Attacked the zone and most importantly......0 walks! 

     

    He just won a rotation spot IMO. I flip flop my opinion on him going to Vegas haha

    Actually Bruce only played part of one game at first for the Indians last year.Santana became ill or had a ache.I watched him last year in Cleveland..rooting for him because I know he's a classy,low key guy.I'm pumped he's back and could very easily see him end up at first..early on it looked like that could be the place for Wilmer.. .

    You’re right, I looked that up and thought it was more. 

     

    I reallf hope Agon is on a short leash. I’m fine with Flores playing 1B for now even against righties. 

     

    Totally agree on Bruce

    This is somewhat off topic but do you know what I miss?

     

    The quarter toll booths where the guy riding shotgun would have to make the hook shot out the passenger window and over the roof.

    Back in the late 80’s, my Dad was driving the family to the Jersey shore for family vacation. The Garden St Parkway has those booths you mentioned...anyhow he was trying to show off and be funny at one of the booths by “slam dunking”  the quarters into the basket. Well it backfired and he somehow jammed up where the coin is inserted and broke the damn thing. The gate wouldn’t go up and cars started backing up honking at us all over hah! 

     

    Your post made me think of a great childhood memory so thanks!

    Jake fans 8 in his second spring game.  Nice!

     

    So it looks like Thor, Jake, Harvey, Vargas and ............. ??????????????  Matz or Wheeler. 

     

    They've both struggled all spring.  Matz settled down after starting out like crap in his last start.  Maybe he's ready to turn a corner.  Right now, I'd feel more comfortable with Matz than Wheeler, but not by much.

     

    I have a feeling that it won't take long for Adrian Gonzalez to peter out and we'll see Bruce playing first (which I am not really a fan of) and Nimmo out in right.  He's having a nice spring.  I think Dom Smith might be done before he started.  Bummer.

     

    Can't wait for the games that count!

     

    Let's Go Mets!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Bruce played and adequate 1B last year while Callaway was in Cleveland and a handful of games with the Mets. I think he can handle it if need be and has said he has no problems doing so.

     

    Matz to Vegas IMO.

    Welcome to the thread!!  It'll be going all season, so keep coming by!

     

    LGM and GO BILLS!

     

    I loved TC.  But one of my few knocks on him was his refusal to retaliate in any way, shape or form.

     

    I like a clean game.  But I also think there is such a thing as "the right time," for your team to get into a brawl.  Terry definitely did not share my philosophy!

    TC: Nice guy and they never quit under him. However I am glad he is gone and time for a yonger and fresher voice. Know how many times I used to see a young player go 3-4 and th next day be rotting on the bench? He loved his vets WAY to much for my liking. I am very excited for the Callaway era to commence.

     

    Would be nice to win a ST game or two before the bell rings too!!! lol

    I'm watching SNY and they just popped up this quote from Mets pitching coach Dave Eiland:

     

    “Don’t let hitters get comfortable. When you’re pitching, you have to be feared. There is one stat I hope we lead the league in, and that’s hit batters."

     

    I think Syndegaard will get along very well with his new coach. What's more interesting to me is whether Eiland can turn around a guy like Robles. I thought Robles showed promise when he first came up, had a bit of an edge. Last year it looked like he was throwing BP. 

     

    Something NEVER done under the TC and Warthen era. Gas can Robles scares me.

  8. Met fan here!! Nice to see some fellow Bills and Mets fans on this board. I do not post much, mainly in the OT site. I pick my spots.

     

    My thoughts on the team (Even thought this ST has been pretty abysmal)

     

    One of the best 1-2 in the NL with Noah and Jake.....however 3-5 in the rotation is wide open and can either be very solid or also very shaky.

     

    Bullpen will definitely be very interesting. I'm not a huge Ramos guy setting up for a healthy Familia but I do think Swarzak was a good pickup, Blevins is always steady but who will be th other LOOGY? Purke? (meh), Matz if he does not make the rotation? Rhame? 

     

    I am hearing Conforto is ahead of schedule and could return sometime in April, If so that is GREAT news!

     

    Agon has looked like TRASH this ST but I bet he gets a sh*t ton of rope with Smith being hurt. Jay Bruce anyone? Nimmo has had a SENSATIONAL ST. Love what this kid brings to the table with is OBP, smiling, walks, he hits and is a decent OF'er. Lagares is still trash. Ces will be fine as will Bruce.

     

    I have thuis team anywhere from 78 wins on the VERY low end to a realistic 83-85 wins. If they get any luck or some over performances from anyone, I think they can maybe.....maybe maybe maybe compete for the WC but I realistically see them at about 82 wins. 

     

    Anyhow..just wanted to drop in and say hello.....LGM! And Bills!

    Bloodline is pretty damn good as well as Ozark.

     

    Just started Peaky Blinders which thus far is great too.

    Loved it until Season 3. Wow did that ever fall REALLY REALLY flat for me. Apparently the state of Florida ran out of funding for these crews to shoot movies in their states so they had to pack it up and end the series early and it really shows. Damn I was so bummed about Season 3, especially the last few episodes.

    Have them in Canada as well. 

    I believe that’s a different Price Chopper than the one we are referring too. The one out of Schenectady  is based only in the states and owned by The Golub Family and soon transitioning to be called “Market 32”.

     

    There is also a Price Chopper chain in the Midwest near Kansas City.

    Aldis is awesome, Never heafd of Price Chopper.

     

     

    A ****ty chain based in Albany. It’s one step up the food chain from Tops.

    Olean?

     

    Price Chopper is based out of the Albany area. Syracuse might be the farthest west they go. 

    Owego, NY I believe. They have 3 stores in Binghamton and some in the Scranton/WB area as well.
