We're truly excited to have you here.

metsguyinmichigan Jan 08 2008 01:05 PM

Welcome aBordick!

metirish Jan 08 2008 01:06 PM

Very cool Mario, welcome abordick.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 08 2008 01:11 PM

Tell Duffy Dyer, Al Luplow and Doug Saunders we said hello.

themetfairy Jan 08 2008 01:21 PM

Welcome Mario. Tell us about yourself.

soupcan Jan 08 2008 01:41 PM

This is a nice change - I can't remember the last time we had an actual new poster introduce themself (selves?). Usually our new registrants (strents?) are just Viagra hawkers. Nice to have you Mario, enjoy Fantasy Camp. I've often wonderd how they give you the uniform numbers at those things. Do they just ask you what number you want? I mean how many guys at one camp can be 41?

seawolf17 Jan 08 2008 01:53 PM

Fantasy camp! I would love to do that some day. Welcome!

metirish Jan 08 2008 01:58 PM

Hey maybe you'll bump into Garth Brooks there, what players are going to be there, I assume Bucket is having a laugh.

Top Marios in Met history. 1. Ramirez 2. Diaz 3. 25 Ramirez and Diaz set the bar low enough that I think 25 can climb the ladder with a good fantasy camp performance.

Obligatory movie quote: "How many syllables, Mario? How many syllables?" Welcome to the board.

metirish Jan 08 2008 02:19 PM

If things go really well we may read that Mario was once an Expos prospect and Omar just signed him to a multi year deal.

seawolf17 Jan 08 2008 02:36 PM

Mama mia! (For what it's worth, I don't know that Donkey Kong is your traditional shortstop, but he probably has pretty good range. I do like Koopa on the mound, in the finest Wellsesque tradition.)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 08 2008 02:37 PM

By the way how many nationality's you been with?

I wanna know who's on first.

Rockin' Doc Jan 08 2008 06:42 PM

Yes Welcome to the asylum, Mario25. I hope you have a great experience at the Mets camp. I'm quite jealous. Look forward to seeing you online in the future.

DocTee Jan 08 2008 06:54 PM

Welcome, I think you'll find this a place to spend countless hours that you should be spending elsewhere.

Mendoza Line Jan 08 2008 08:04 PM

Cool. I'm no longer the new guy. Welcome to the board, and have a great time down at fantasy camp.

mario25 Jan 09 2008 05:49 AM Thank you for the welcome

Thanks everyone for the kind words and I like the Mario picture someone sent. As far as Fantasy Camp is concerned they do ask you your favorite number ahead of time so there will be a lot of the same numbers running around. I am ecstatic that I get to meet my baseball hero willie montanez who was the Mets 1b when cable tv (wwor9) came to my city. I also am happy that Super Joe Mcewing is gonna be there as well as Swoboda,Grote,Stearns, Mcandrew and many others. Thanks again everyone and I am excited to be part of the Crane Pool forum.

soupcan Jan 09 2008 07:23 AM

I knew him as 'Willie Montan-YES!'

Vic Sage Jan 09 2008 10:39 AM

Willie was one of the more enjoyable aspects of those dark days. He seemed like a great player, but only in comparison to the rest of those Mets teams of the late 70s. But he certainly got style points for his glove work.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 09 2008 10:41 AM

Loved how he'd hold guys on constantly tagging them and making them return the base when no pickoff was ever thrown. He had mustard in his veins.

Nymr83 Jan 09 2008 11:21 AM

someone cut out Mario batting to use as this guy's avatar

mario25 Jan 09 2008 12:19 PM

The Mario avatar would be awesome!!! I am not the most computer savvy so unfortunately I do not know how to do it....

soupcan Jan 09 2008 12:38 PM

How's this...?

mario25 Jan 09 2008 01:04 PM

Awesome.....Thanks a lot ,Mario

Vic Sage Jan 09 2008 03:12 PM

one more "awesome" out of you, fella, and things could start to get ugly early. :)

Benjamin Grimm Jan 09 2008 03:25 PM

Hey Awesome Mario, how did you happen to find us anyway?

mario25 Jan 10 2008 06:54 AM

I was on the internet at work and I was looking at Mets blogs and came across the Cranepool Forum. Unfortunarely I am surrounded by lots of Yankee fans and decided to find some genuine Mets fans to talk to. If I hear another Clemens is innocent by the Yank fans it will bring me back to the Piazza "I thought it was the ball" disaster. I always wished the Mets would have pummeled him relentlessly. Sorry for the tangent!!!

AG/DC Jan 10 2008 07:38 AM

Please, start a thread next time you hear someone pleading Roger's case. I'd enjoy the ratonalizations. They'd be at least as entertaining as the ones I come up with for Todd Pratt.
