Congrats to both,I wonder will that reflect here with the Schaefer voting.

September 1985 was the last time the Mets had player and pitcher of the month: Gary Carter and Doc Gooden.

Dumb luck says it should happen once every 256 months in a 16-team league.

That trade for Maine is looking better with every start. I think that might go down as Omar's version of the David Cone for Ed Hearn/Rick Anderson heist.

The trade for Oliver Perez isn't looking too shabby, either. Question: Did the Mets ever have a left handed pitcher lead the team, or the league, in strikeouts? Later

Leiter with 200 in 2000?

Johnny Dickshot May 03 2007 08:05 AM

w/o looking it up Leiter must have led his squads more than once but wasn't near the league leaders. Matlack & Kooz never whiffed with Seaver and Sid never with Doc, so I'd say no.

Party at Maine's (or Reyes') place: Roy Halladay and John Maine will each receive a Sharp AQUOS® full HD LCD-TV and a specially designed trophy to commemorate their Pitcher of the Month performances. For setting the highest definition of excellence, Sharp, the presenting sponsor of the National League Player of the Month Award, presents Jose Reyes with a Sharp AQUOS full HD LCD-TV.

This forum pretty much immolated after the trade that brought Maine here. I'm very happy to see this shaking out the way it is.

Pitchers who led the Mets in strikeouts: http://ultimatemets.com/yrleaders.php?cattype=p#so A few lefties on the list: Al Jackson, Koosman, Sid, Leiter, and Falcone.

Ugly posting.about the Mets and each other.

soupcan May 03 2007 10:13 AM

Huh. I don't recall anyone being so passionate about the loss of Kris Benson.

Edgy DC May 03 2007 10:19 AM

Trust me. A lot of other shit bubbled up in that thread also.

]What do you think of the Benson/Julio/Maine trade? I love the Benson/Julio/Maine trade! 1 votes I like the Benson/Julio/Maine trade. 4 votes I have no opinion. 6 votes I dislike the Benson/Julio/Maine trade. 10 votes I hate the Benson/Julio/Maine trade! 9 votes Optimists among us seemed to hold out hope there'd be a subsequent deal to get Zito or some other name-brand starter. In retrospect this trade really proved to illustrate a paradigm shift for the Mets: After for so many years being the kind of team that was overly cautious to acquire starters with track records and be somewhat distrustful of pitchers without them, we do the complete opposite.

Paine of Maine goes down the draine?

soupcan May 03 2007 10:49 AM

Wow. Um, I guess I was wrong.

metirish May 03 2007 10:54 AM

I'm pulling a Francesa and saying that I loved the trade for the day it was made...
