Name that Met

Edgy DC Aug 23 2007 09:54 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 24 2007 07:53 AM

OK, I've got 18 here. I apologize to those who built a Met and I don't have him. I found a few in my spam folder, and others may have been deleted there. I hope that you'll try again. Again ask that you download your product to your hard drive and e-mail it to me as a gif. Meantime, I've got the following: Ramon Castro, Carlos Delgado, Mike DiFelice, Tom Glavine, Rickey Henderson, Ben Johnson, Howard Johnson, Phil Humber, John Maine, Pedro Martinez, Lastings Milledge, Tom Nieto, Oliver Perez, Willie Randolph, Joe Smith, Jorge Sosa, Jose Valentin, Billy Wagner. Great work, folks. Let's see if you can guess who is who. I:

Gwreck Aug 23 2007 10:45 PM

Nice job. Thanks for putting it together. I got 3 of the 18 without looking at the names on the list. Once I started looking at the names, I think I got about 12-14 correct. Unintended lookalikes: Before I looked at the list of names, I had Moises Alou as I. and Pedro Feliciano as IX. III. and VIII. are the two best likenesses, I think.

metirish Aug 24 2007 07:33 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 24 2007 09:20 AM

I'm having a hard time picking out the one I did....

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 07:44 AM

I'm thinking maybe one at a time is the way to run this kwiz

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 07:54 AM

Okily-dokily, neighboreeno. No guessing your own contibution. I:

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 07:56 AM

Omar is... incorrect.

Rotblatt Aug 24 2007 08:03 AM

Alou!

Willets Point Aug 24 2007 08:06 AM

The crow's eyes make him look ancient, maybe it's Rickey.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 08:10 AM

Not Alou.

Willets Point Aug 24 2007 08:19 AM

I guess I get just one guess. Oops...that's three.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 08:42 AM

That's OK, I think you got No. 1 right -- Rickey.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 08:48 AM

Which the 'Shot knows because that was his craftywork. The Simpson's age-meter dialing up to be able to make a person 200 years old warps, I think, the whole scale. I'm 40 and when Ms. Edgy was done making me, I looked like the 26-year-old I fancy myself to be when I chat up the new auditors in the office. To get the rock-hard-but-rut-faced mid-40s Rickey, I imagine Dickshot had to dial the age up to about 68. Good work, Shot. II:

Gwreck Aug 24 2007 09:16 AM

DiFelice?

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 09:21 AM

Hojo?

Farmer Ted Aug 24 2007 09:36 AM

That looks like Chris Woodward...no longer a Met but a MF Brave.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 09:44 AM

DiFelice is correct. The smile is unfamilar, but the eyes work for me. Props to Elster88 for getting the journeman orbs nailed. III:

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 09:46 AM

Maine?

Farmer Ted Aug 24 2007 09:47 AM

DWright.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 10:21 AM

John Maine it is, and congrats to metsmarathon for getting that everything's-chill-I've-totally-got-a-fallback smile of today's overprivlieged kids. IV:

Willets Point Aug 24 2007 10:24 AM

Glavine, because it kind of looks like Simpsonized Dickshot.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 10:51 AM

Glavine it is. A fovorite from the Mets by Gwreck Collection. V:

Willets Point Aug 24 2007 11:06 AM

Helluva a gut whoever it is.

Mendoza Line Aug 24 2007 11:10 AM

I look at that guy, and I think Mickey Lolich. Sosa?

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 11:12 AM

Wow, you can hardly tell them apart! Not Lolich. Not Hernandez.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 11:16 AM

Obviously Castro. Great job.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 11:39 AM

martin with the portly backstop, folks. Next up we have... VI:

Gwreck Aug 24 2007 11:40 AM

#46, Oliver Perez.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 11:41 AM

No es Perez.

Farmer Ted Aug 24 2007 01:17 PM

Enrique Iglesias.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 01:22 PM

Close. It's a toughie, because he's been in New Orleans all season.

Frayed Knot Aug 24 2007 02:16 PM

Well then it has to be Humber

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 02:30 PM

About time, you wankers. Please thank Mendoza Line for taking such an otherwise thankless assignment. VII:

Johnny Dickshot Aug 24 2007 02:31 PM

The jacket makes me wanna say Peterson

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 02:38 PM

Yabbut, no mullet.

Valadius Aug 24 2007 02:43 PM

This one looks more like Glavine than the other one, but I'll guess Tom Nieto.

Edgy DC Aug 24 2007 02:47 PM

Valadius thinks outside the dugout and guess Rottblatt's masterpiece. VIII:

If it's not Pedro, Endy, or Olly, then I gotta say Gotay.

You gotta believe that it's not.

metsmarathon Aug 24 2007 10:25 PM

ben johnson?

holychicken Aug 25 2007 10:04 AM

Burgos? He had a Gotay. . .err. . . goatee at some point.

Wait, Pedro Martinez had a goatee at various points during the season. We had the wrong Pedro.

Edgy DC Aug 25 2007 03:53 PM

What am I waiting for?

Edgy DC Aug 27 2007 12:30 PM

Name. That. Met.
