1. Rickey Fredonia Fudge Duckery Precious Twiddle Posted: April 16, 2012 at 06:58 PM (#4108300)Though I wish my blu-ray player was cooperating so I could watch it through that.
I've been meaning to ask you, where, in anyplace, do you play in Florida? A friend of mine was playing at the Hard Rock down there in March, and he was in a game with Jonathan Papelbon, with Cliff Lee at the next table. I can't imagine a person I'd be much happier to see at a poker table than Jonathan Papelbon. Friend isn't a Mets fan, so he failed to mention the legendary Omir Santos.
Awesome.
Gee is not impressing.
Turning Stone cash game limits.
Think the Rays fans will outnumber the Mets fans?
I'm also doing research for a traveling choral conductor while watching this! I can't google every damned thing I think of! ;-)
More out of curiosity, is that just generally a crap time for crap stakes to you, Alan?
Yeah, I'm as amateur as one gets, thought about playing there a bit. I was disappointed Turning Stone didn't have a sports book to place a long-term Mets bet.
An upstate NY casino is probably even more depressing than many, because they you are.... here.
I'm not sure the D'Rays fans can outnumber Royal fans.
Utica always looking for more people! :-)
Now back to the couch, taking advantage of the fact that I can watch this game on cable b/c they're playing the Braves.
As do all of you Tejada latecomers. :-)
How many on the bandwagon now? He's playing with confidence this year-- working a lot of deep counts, roping liners, ect. Just hoping Torres doesn't push him back to the #8 spot. Really, Tejada's the leadoff/#2 hitter of the future, and hitting him #8 does nothing to help him along that path.
On so many levels. Wilson took it well though. I would have extended a large finger his way, to go along with the "holy #### what just happened" smile he managed to put on.
It's not that the stakes aren't worth it. It's that I just find tournament keep my attention much better than cash games, and prevent me from doing stupid things with my money. I mostly keep away from higher stakes cash games too.
Also, 2-7 in any form is incredibly fun, and I apologize for not taking your Tejada-love seriously, Lassus. I hope you realize that the conversion of many us here all but dooms him to a .22/.290/.300 line for the rest of his career.
There is not a lot stupid to do up here with your money, though, so that's a bonus.

If this happens, I will totally find all of you and make you hit fungoes to Cedeno for a year, and not the one we have currently.
Wait, going to Utica in and of itself isn't a stupid thing to do with your money?
In f-dp's house, Met game just got pre-empted for last night's Game of Thrones.
What am I missing?
Most shortstops are shitty hitters.
PFFFT WIld pitch! wahoo!
Might be needed still, easily.
If he's an average shortstop for an extended period of time, most of us, myself included, will have been proven wrong. If he can put up a string of .350/.350-ish seasons, I'll be content.
I don't know how to choose end points at BBREF, but from August through the end of the year he hit at an .800 OPS clip or so. He showed a lot of excellent AB skills, none of which have left him through his current .810 OPS clip for 2012.
Yea!
He had a very strong run for 20 games in August (.348/.423/.478), but was right back to a ~.700 OPS hitter in September/October (.297/.354/.341).
August-October, 2011: 181 PA, 160 AB, 51 H, 11 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 14 BB. That's around .319/.359/.400 (I didn't check sacrifices).
He showed a lot of excellent AB skills, none of which have left him through his current .810 OPS clip for 2012.
I'm not going to put a lot of stock in his numbers through 10 games. I suppose it's possible that he's developed an entirely new level of power, but I'm skeptical.
The fact that few people improve from being fungible doesn't mean that nobody does. And he's YOUNG.
Sure, but it's not like he's young and dominating anything. The real problem is that he doesn't seem to have anything that is particularly impressive: he isn't a great basestealer, he doesn't play lights-out defense, he doesn't have great discipline, and he's got very light power. The only way Tejada becomes a great player is if something comes pretty much completely out of nowhere.
I'm not saying the Mets should put him in a trade as a throw-in. Even if he ends up a 1-1.5 WAR player, that still is worth something.
That was very satisfying.
