If the Mets new stadium opens in '09 as promised, and knowing what we know NOW!!!!, make your best guess as to the pitcher who hurls the first pitch at the new park in the home opener?

Petit.

I'll take Barry Zito.

Scott Kazmir, remember where you read this first,the Mets will reaquire kaz in 08 in a stunning move.

You know, Irish, I was thinking the same thing, but went with Petit instead, even though I have a sinking feeling we're going to trade him before July.

Randy Johnson delivers a first pitch gopher ball to Rickey Henderson with Julio Franco in the on deck circle...one batter into the season, and the Braves hex still lives on...

will that be before or after his Tommy John surgery that Lord Petersen has predicted?

i'll take petit. by then his pinpoint control will be legendary. they will call him " el gordo greg maddux"

I don't think "Lord Petersen" is on record as having predicted any such thing.

Would you believe, "strongly hypothesized"?
|
| Edgy MD Jun 13 2005 06:08 PM |
|
I think his hypothesis was and is that high school pitchers tend to need about 500-600 innings before being able to pitch consistently effectively in the majors.

Luckily, he wasn't Davey Johnson's PC...otherwise, we would not have beared witness to most of Dwight Gooden's moments of greatness...

C'mon. You're pleading the alternative now. You come up with one accusation and rather than acknowledge its unfairness when confronted, you just move to another.

Pedro after coming off of his third Cy Young in 4 years. It'll be right after they raise the championship banner.

I have never heard Peterson say such a thing about Kazmir, he only ever saw him pitch two innings so that would be a dumb thing to say, does he advocate taking High School pitchers?, no he doesn't and he has numbers to back that up when talking about Kazmir, at least to him they make sense.....

I went with Humber. I really have no strong feeling that it will be anyone, I just really doubt it will be Pedro.
