Big, Stupid Quiz II

Remember the Big, Stupid Quiz that Mr. Dickshot administered just after the season ended? Well, it is shamelessly aped at Faith and Fear. If you can stand to take the ride once more (different questions, different answers, same parameters)... http://mets2005.myblogsite.com/blog/_archives/2005/10/31/1333766.html

Greg - would you object if we made it a group project here ala Dickshot's? Or would you prefer that we work independently until you post the answers next week?

He's stealing outright from Steve Earle here.

It'll be a true theft if the quiz includes two bonus false answers, resulting from being poorly researched while busy with alledgedly more important work.

By all means.

Cool - thanks :)

Okay, then I'll start with two:

14. is almost Herm Winningham 1984.
|
| ScarletKnight41 Nov 01 2005 04:03 PM |
|
29. Orel Hershiser - 1999
|
| G-Fafif Nov 01 2005 04:20 PM |

|
8. No 12. Yes
|
| G-Fafif Nov 01 2005 04:21 PM |
|
|
14. Yes
|
| G-Fafif Nov 01 2005 04:21 PM |

0-for-3. Sorry.

Damn - I was thinking Kenny Rogers when I typed Orel Hershiser.

Good job on #8 Greg...a lot of those clues could have pointed to Koosman. Including the hint about not wearing a glove in his biggest moments, which I thought referred to Orosco tossing his glove after the NLCS and WS.
|
| G-Fafif Nov 02 2005 09:13 AM |

Correct on No. 8. It is Mickey Lolich.
|
| HahnSolo Nov 03 2005 03:08 PM |
|
I don't know if everybody has given up on this, but I've got another (I think):
|
| G-Fafif Nov 03 2005 03:54 PM |
|
|
Correct. Enjoy a pineapple on Sid. Don't give up. Never surrender. It was either Churchill or Corey Hart who said that (though neither of them is a clue).

Greg is giving [url=http://mets2005.myblogsite.com/blog/_archives/2005/11/5/1345690.html]hints[/url] now.

#34 looks like it has something to do with the band the Go Gos. "We Got the Beat", "Vacation." Now I have a vague recollection of Belinda Carlysle having a relationship with a baseball player, but can't figure out who. Any ideas?
|
| Edgy DC Nov 05 2005 06:05 PM |
|
Good call. You're thinking of Mike Marshall.

My lips aren't sealed. That's correct. The Mets' short-lived first baseman had a well-publicized romance with the lead singer of the Go-Gos in the early '80s. Mets fans, on the other hand, weren't head over heels for him.

Due to my lack of due diligence, the quiz-taking world is owed a new No. 10 question.
|
| Edgy DC Nov 05 2005 08:13 PM |

I've only taken glances at this. I'm guessing (44) is Pumpsie Green and the thing he did that no Red Sock had done before was merely to take the field without first having the decency to evolve out of his African skin.

I'm pretty bad at trivia, and not that good with Mets history, but I'm going for it anyway:

28 is Harrelson, no ASGs or World Series on Ordonez's resume
|
| mlbaseballtalk Nov 05 2005 08:58 PM |
|
31, winning pitcher in Game 6 1986 WS Rick Augliera? Could be? I don't think he won (may have saved a couple) any game in the 91 WS
|

Something about 35 is just screaming Darryl STRAWBERRY in that hint
|
| mlbaseballtalk Nov 05 2005 09:02 PM |
|
40 is Mike Jorgensen, born the day Ruth died
|
| mlbaseballtalk Nov 05 2005 09:06 PM |
|
I agree with Edgy, got to be Pumpsie Green with 44
|
| G-Fafif Nov 06 2005 03:38 AM |

You people are getting good.

28 better not be Jim freaking Fregosi if we are counting WS apperance as a non-player
|
| G-Fafif Nov 06 2005 02:46 PM |
|
|
If only Bob Scheffing had used the phrase "better not be Jim freaking Fregosi" around this time of year in 1971... Nope, not Fregosi.

28 - Larry Bowa 1985?

Despite his new job, Larry Bowa is correct.

32. Choo Choo Coleman

You got it, bub. The unlikely year was 1966. Didn't realize he hung around that long.
