Just an abbreviation for "It's coming up."

This is the annual depressing look at how few active posters we have here. But we had enough. I pretty much put everybody in the order I found them, but switched some around in order to give some out-of-town peeps their hometown team. I hope silver doesn't mind, but I didn't give her the Yankees. Perhaps too close to her heart to ask her to continue be her gracious self. I gave her the Jays, who she should know well, by then. I also gave the last two series to active posters (who were nonetheless near the bottom) because I didn't want them to fall to anybody who is disappearing or has disappeared. (Hello... valadius? What happened to you?)

I'll just wait for someone to drop out, don't worry. I think I kind of remember the thread, and not responding because I had computers breaking on me left and right and didn't want to be unreliable.

"Fever Pitch" was on TV today, so I watched a bit -- for my favorite scene:

"You want the Yankees game? Let me see you dance.

Let's see you going here. That's not Yankee dancing. That's Devil Ray dancing..."

[Substitute Edgy as the Jimmy Fallon character and apply as needed to the distribution of KTE assignments...]

Do a good job learnin' them, Irish.
But it won't so me much good. By the time my KTE for them comes around, they may have turned their roster over a few times.

You'll see from the first two.
Generally its a recap of the other team, how well they're doing, who's hot, not,shot.
Then, you might put in something about how they've done against the Mets in the past (any Met killers), or any Mets who do well against them.
But you are not limited to/ bound by what I said.
It can be anything that would help someone "Know Thy Enemy".

We should make this a membership criterion. I mean, "I don't do those." C'mon.

So wa-hut? Strap 'em on and get in the game, Alfonso. If you stink, then you stink. Life is fraught with risk It takes a village, you know.

Just ribbing. Update with changes. Rockin' Doc, exiled in Braveland, has been bumped up one Brave series to give us time to find a substitute. GYC has been given Nymr83's late-season Pittsburgh showdown, but I guess can grab that April 28-30 Brave series instead (I guess anybody can.) Iubitul and Scarlett have been switched, assuming she is down with that.

On edit: Fuggit, Old Original JB, grab a glove. You get the Braves April 28-30.

Last Year's KTE's. This should be helpful for those not familiar with the concept. You also might just crib from one of last year's KTE's and see if anyone notices.

I'll be out-of-the-country with limited (if any) internet access for all of July and August. Hence, I'm unavailable for the KTE assigned me-- anyone wanna swap?

I live in the Bay Area, so I was thinking a Giants series might allow me to provide some inside analysis--

The only other baseball team Zvon pays any mind is the Phils.

If you keep pestering, you'll get the Phillies.

I had to change last year and the year before to get the Astros.

But someone has figured out that it works better to assign them to me in the first place.

I have enough work learning the Mets for a KTE. I ain't learnin' two teams. :)

Is there anyone who feels like taking the upcoming Milwaukee series?

I traded to get that one because I'm in the midst of final projects and papers at school so I knew that I wouldn't be able to handle the Giants series last week. I thought I'd basically be done with the semester by the 10th, but as it turns out I'm going to be busy through the bitter end of the semester, which is the 12th.

In a pinch, I'll crib off of TransMonk's excellent KTE from the road trip to Milwaukee. But if anyone would enjoy doing something more creative than that, then say the word and the Brewers are yours.

Thanks.

MFS62
Jul 05 2006 09:34 AM

I have already written my KTE for the upcoming series with the Marlins.

I'll volunteer to take one if any reassignment occurs.

I'm concerned about Val, I don't think he's been around since Bret went all caustic fucktard at him in his "How I come up with Met nicknames" thread (over the winter, basically his reasoning for calling Billy Wagner "Nightcrawler" )

I'm not volunteering to write a KTE, but I'll tell you what I know right here.

I'm hoping that the Cardinals look as crappy this week as they did when we saw them play the Phillies and the Brewers in St. Louis three weeks ago. They were in the midst of their second 8-game losing streak of the season, and to say that they looked flat is an understatement.

We were at the game where the Phillies massacred them. The Cards had been behind by a substantial margin, cutting the Phillies lead to 8-7, but they brought in someone frm the bullpen -

Looper!

Philadelphia went on to win that game 16-8.

I actually started working on my KTE assigment last night, I didn't know you guys were so anxious--I woulda had something ready sooner!

Sorry, I think some missed assignments has led to anxiety. But what we've got so far is cuh-rap.

Get posting.

The only difference since we saw them last is that CF Aaron Rowland is on the DL with a broken ankle.

I'm thinking 2007 should have a KTE rotation, split up each series between 5-8 posters or something like that.

I'm thinking about doing a complete KTE for all 7 other postseason teams, hopefully those will be up (or at least the Met's opponent in the NLDS, hey Game 5 FINALLY is at Shea this year!) before the Mets play their first game

Without stepping on Han Solo's toes, I know something about our upcoming enemy.

Playing back-to-back doubleheaders has to be hell on one's bullpen, no matter how many fresh arms you call up from the minors.

No.

Edit:

Wait, you don't mean 5-8 posters doing each series, do you? You mean just 5-8 posters handling all the KTE throughout the year.

What I would suggest for 2007 and beyond is that 1) posters who wish to do KTEs volunteer for the duty; and 2) the poster be assigned one team for the whole season. Ideally, he/she can specify whether he wants a division rival (which would entail 6 KTE's, an original one and updates throughout the season) or a nondivision rival (2 KTE's for National League teams and 1 for Interleague rivals). This way the person writing the KTE for a particular team would really know that rival well by the end of the season.

Yup. In a rotation format. With "Spot Starters" ready for Pinch-Posting duties during the year

Not a bad idea. Kind of like Adopt-A-Prospect!

Maybe there should be a seperate folder as well perhaps?

Guess I showed up just in time.

In all honesty, the flak I got over the nicknames thread did hurt quite a bit, and did contribute some to my absence, but it had more to do with everything I've had going on - I've been pretty busy.

Putting on my best Howard Beale voice: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002075/

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's depressing. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Terrorism is running wild around the world and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster (like Willets Point) and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone.

I got assigned to write another KTE about the Phillies. I said I didn�t want to, but my name showed up again next to this series on the assignment list. The World sucks, it is true. But all I wanted to be was left alone. And now THIS.

Yes, I know, the Mets took two of three from the Phillies last week. Then they took two of three from the Yankees while the Phillies were getting swept by the Red Sox. And I should derive some solace from that. But we had to depend on Kaz Ishii to win a game in order to win the series. And we had to count on Hernandez to strike out Met-killer Pat Burrell to protect Kaz� win. And their quiet Met tormentor Rheal Cormier didn�t vulture a win. Are those things going to happen again real soon? You might as well wait for the next sighting of Haley�s Comet. I should have been glad that the series is over and I wouldn�t have to deal with the team that has been murder on the Mets since the days of Roy Sievers, Ray Culp and Larry Jackson. And Jimmy Rollins keeps getting key hits against the Mets like Bobby Wine used to. And now a suddenly reheated Jim Thome is coming to Shea, where the prevailing left-to-right wind can only help a lefty power hitter. Considering the way the Phillies have mal-treated the Mets over the years, I wouldn�t be surprised if pitcher Randy Wolf jumps off the operating table where he is having reconstructive arm surgery and rushes to the mound and throws a shutout. And to add insult to (a weird on deck) injury, Mientkiewicz is out and Jose Offerman has been called up.

And who do we have to depend on to pull us out of our post Yankee loss funk? Its inconsistent Victor Zambrano (3-6, 3.97), who will be going up against either Robinson Tejada (1-0, 2.02) or Corey Lidle (6-6, 4.12). That�s who. And after that, it will be John Lieber (8-7, 4.95) against Kaz Ishii (2-6 5.25) and Vicente Padilla (3-7, 6.83 against Pedro Martinez (8-2, 2.72). And the only thing worse is that I have been assigned to write another KTE about that team.

I�m mad. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman, or Edgy, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the terrorism and the crime in the street and forcing CPF-ers to do something they don�t want to do. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.

[shouting] You've got to say, '62�s a HUMAN BEING, dammit! His life has VALUE!'

So does my time. And yours does, too. Should it be wasted doing something you don�t want to do?

I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell,

[shouting]
'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis and the mandated KTE assignments. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:

[screaming at the top of his lungs] "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"
