Mets in a family way

metsguyinmichigan Mar 10 2009 07:28 PM

I was thinking on the way home tonight.... If Livan Hernandez makes the roster, both he and his half-brother would be Mets at one time. Other than Tom Glavine and Mike Glavine's fantasy camp-like appearance, have we had any other brothers be Mets, even not at the same time? Then I came up with brothers Sandy and Roberto Alomar - does Sandy Sr. make the only father-son(s) combinations? Any other brother or father/son combos?

]Mike Glavine's fantasy camp-like appearance that made me laugh.

Kong76 Mar 10 2009 07:44 PM It's a little known fact that Bobby Jones and Bobby Jones are distantly related back to the 1860's. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 10 2009 07:45 PM Do Edgar-as-Cyclone-skipper and Edgardo count? Kong76 Mar 10 2009 07:46 PM Why not? Edgy DC Mar 10 2009 08:16 PM I think Orlando is off the books. Anyhow John Kevin Maine is the son of Kevin John Maine, among other father/sonnie stuff. <a href="http://cranepoolforum.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=8873&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0" target="_blank">It's all here</a>.

Moises Alou is only about 40 years younger than God, so who knows? Benjamin Grimm Mar 11 2009 05:54 PM I remember years ago somebody (I think it was Centerfield) posted a scouting report on Jesus that was hilarious. Edgy DC Mar 11 2009 08:37 PM Actually, it was Rottblatt. The immediate context was a shiney prospect report from John Sickels on this hot young kid the Mets had at the time called David Wright. I wonder whatever happened to him. The broader context was mlb.com publishing a bunch of scouting combine reports full of descriptions of "well-proportioned upper body" and "powerful thighs tapering nicely into lean calves" that, when read one after another, became hard to distinguish and came out really homo-erotically. http://p094.ezboard.com/Looking-good-Bi ... =485.topic Frayed Knot Mar 11 2009 09:14 PM How the hell do you people find this stuff? Reminds me a bit of the time we were concocting self-evaluations in response to the thumb-nail bios you get of amateur players on draft day. The Sickels link was interesting too and, except for being a bit optimistic on the defensive skills, nailed young David pretty good. True he was already in the upper minors which takes a lot of the projection out of it but there are still enough misses in those to not make this one a no-brainer. Edgy DC Mar 11 2009 09:18 PM ="John Sickles":1q5lzn0f]Defense is another strength. Wright has above-average range, a strong arm, and soft hands. Some scouts believe he could be a Gold Glove at third base with more experience.[/quote:1q5lzn0f] Sounds pretty dead on to me. Got everything right except for the propensity to throw the ball away when he has too much time. Centerfield Mar 12 2009 10:07 AM I liked it better when I was credited as the author. I wonder if I'm overrated. What if I'm the Derek Jeter of CPF? themetfairy Mar 12 2009 11:05 AM No way CF - you'll always be the king!

Benjamin Grimm Mar 12 2009 11:59 AM Wow, nice job finding that post from almost five years ago! I remembered the part about switch-hitting after an HBP. Funny the things that stick in your head. Centerfield Mar 12 2009 12:14 PM Look, anyone who can read a boxscore can point out that Centerfield's numbers are down, ok? But we're talking about a guy who has had big posts in big spots. He's been yuge, YUGE for the CPF. The Jesus post, Latvia, you know, countless others. So everyone can put their protractors away, I know what I see. Let's go to Edgy in DC. Actually Mike, that was Rottblatt. The Jesus post was Rotblatt. You're saying that wasn't Centerfield? Because I read that thread. I was there for it, I... I have the thread in front of me. That was Rotblatt. Centerfield didn't get involved until four posts later, and then, all he said was that Rotblatt's post was really funny... See what I mean? Anytime you have a classic moment like that, CF is right in the middle of things. Big time poster. Makes the other posters better Mikey, makes the other posters better. Benjamin Grimm Mar 12 2009 12:29 PM That homoerotic photo of Chris Russo giving fellatio to a microphone is kinda gross. LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 12 2009 12:41 PM Can we give Schaefer points to Centerfield? Is that in the rules? themetfairy Mar 12 2009 12:44 PM There's also the [url=http://p094.ezboard.com/A-Charlie-Brown-Christmas/fthecranepoolforumfrm21.showMessage?topicID=295.topic:1alk9i3m]Rudolph thread[/url:1alk9i3m]. metsguyinmichigan Mar 12 2009 12:48 PM A forum full of badasses!
