Met Count 2010

Edgy DC Apr 05 2010 11:30 AM

Please bring your dates forward and collect your prizes. #874, Rod Barajas! #875, Jason Bay!

Benjamin Grimm Apr 05 2010 11:35 AM Re: Met Count 2010

Actually, it's Bay as 875 and Barajas as 876.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 05 2010 11:35 AM Re: Met Count 2010

I believe that your Mr. Barajas of Flushing, is actually the overachieving-- in multiple ways-- Mr. Bartlett, of Tampa.

Edgy DC Apr 05 2010 11:36 AM Re: Met Count 2010

Great, their dates have thrown the worthless prizes in their faces, and stormed off.

Met #877 Frank Catalanotto is joined by his lovely wife Barbara as he accepts his award (Although, the way I'm going, that may be Mr. and Mrs. Junior Felix.)

metirish Apr 05 2010 02:14 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Don't they look swell?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 05 2010 03:21 PM Re: Met Count 2010

I'll tell you this much-- this Barajas date didn't get a second chance at the Rod.

Edgy DC Apr 05 2010 05:17 PM Re: Met Count 2010

That's not a date. That's a Heimlich.

Valadius Apr 05 2010 05:52 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Then who's #874?

G-Fafif Apr 05 2010 06:41 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Rod Barajas is "the shit," which we didn't know because "he played in Canada and we don't know what goes on in Canada," according to a helpful rowmate on the Pepsi Porch this afternoon. He also queried rhetorically, "WHERE'S THE INTENSITY?" in reference to the rather relaxed crowd late in the game.

I nominate Ben Grim as the official forum counter of new Mets.(it's get confusing when he has to correct ya'll)

Edgy DC Apr 06 2010 10:27 AM Re: Met Count 2010

He never invites the Mets to come up and accept along with their dates. Or the non-Mets, as it were.

Edgy DC Apr 07 2010 08:39 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Number 878, Jenrry Mejia, too young to bring a date: So he's joined instead by number 879, Ruben Tejada.

Edgy DC Apr 07 2010 08:41 PM Re: Met Count 2010

First Panamanian since Bruce Chen and first non-pitcher: he pops out.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 07 2010 08:51 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Wayne said he was arguing called strikes with Laz Diaz. True?

Edgy DC Apr 07 2010 09:03 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Tak2.0 checks in as Met number 880.

Edgy DC Apr 08 2010 07:17 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Number 881, Ryota Igarashi, steps forward with his wife, Chris Carter.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 11 2010 04:27 AM Re: Met Count 2010

Henry Blanco is number 882.

Gwreck Apr 11 2010 03:15 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Raul Valdes, #883. (Was wearing uniform #22 for those interested).

Edgy DC Apr 11 2010 03:19 PM Re: Met Count 2010

A future World Series MVP.

Gwreck Apr 21 2010 07:13 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Ike Davis, #884 Manny Acosta, #885

Edgy DC May 11 2010 08:10 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Met number 886: Welcome to the great roll call, Chris Carter.

Edgy DC May 11 2010 08:40 PM Re: Met Count 2010

He already calls his hitting coach HoJo.

G-Fafif May 19 2010 10:25 PM Re: Met Count 2010

R.A. Dickey is No. 887 -- which is hard to fit on a uniform.

Edgy DC Jun 10 2010 01:40 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Jesus Feliciano, number 888, which would look great on a uniform.

G-Fafif Jun 10 2010 02:19 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Met 111: Billy Murphy, 4/15/1966 Met 222: Benny Ayala, 8/27/1974 Met 333: Rick Ownbey, 8/17/1982 Met 444: Chris Donnels, 5/7/1991 Met 555: Jason Hardtke, 9/8/1996 Met 666: C.J. Nitkowski, 9/3/2001 Met 777: Billy Wagner, 4/3/2006 Met 888: Jesus Feliciano, 6/10/2010

It took eight+ years to add the 2nd 111 Mets, then just under eight seasons for the next 111, then eight+ to get to 444, but then just over five seasons for the next batch, then a hair under five, and more like four+ for each of the following two groups of 111 At this rate we're looking at late 2014 (or even sooner) for the arrival of NYM #1,000

Ceetar Jul 16 2010 11:15 PM Re: Met Count 2010

#889 would be Justin Turner. Wearing Bobby Valentine's #2, walked in his first AB pinching hitting for Alex Cora.

Met Hunter Jul 17 2010 04:44 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Interesting that number 666 was Nitkowski, a devout Christian. It was also the number of Mets on 9/11.

Edgy DC Jul 27 2010 07:50 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Mike Hessman, #890

G-Fafif Aug 29 2010 12:01 AM Re: Met Count 2010

Luis Hernandez wears No. 3 for the Mets but is really Met No. 891. Or 3 X 297.

Gwreck Sep 01 2010 06:00 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Lucas Duda, 892

Edgy DC Sep 01 2010 07:29 PM Re: Met Count 2010

I understand Joaquin Andujar is number 893. In the outfield. How about that?

seawolf17 Sep 01 2010 07:58 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Well, Joaquin Arias, anyway.

Edgy DC Sep 01 2010 08:09 PM Re: Met Count 2010

You missy the irony.

seawolf17 Sep 01 2010 08:11 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Clearly. I thought Steve Somers had stolen your password for a minute there. I am/was a big fan of Andujar; one of my favorite Cardinals of his era.

Edgy DC Sep 01 2010 08:20 PM Re: Met Count 2010

Well, I'm rooting for 900 this season. Seven oldest guys in the Mets system who haven't appeared for them are Michael Barrett, Adam Pettyjohn, Val Pascucci, Alex Cintron, Jorge Padilla, J.R. House, and Michael O'Connor. Go, Mike!

Screw it; call all seven of them up and give them an AB (or an IP) each.

Edgy DC Sep 02 2010 07:55 AM Re: Met Count 2010

I understand they all play outfield.

Alex Cintron's at-bat music would be a slightly-modified Replacements' tune.

Mike Nickeas, 894.

G-Fafif Sep 05 2010 03:59 AM Re: Met Count 2010

Adam Rubin reports Dillon Gee will be with club in DC, prospective No. 895. Also rejoining club: Valdes, Evans. Nick Evans, in case you've forgotten.

MFS62 Sep 06 2010 10:57 AM Re: Met Count 2010

And, according to Mets blog, Gee will be the starting pitcher on Tuesday. Later

G-Fafif Sep 08 2010 01:05 AM Re: Met Count 2010

For the record, Dillon Gee is indeed Met No. 895. He also became the 21st new Met of 2010.

There were 26 new Mets in 2009, 27 in 2008. Was also pretty quiet midyear, with only five new faces debuting after April 21 and before August 28. Justin Turner, however, likely to be the "there's one more? I have no idea..."

Unless he's the starting second baseman.
