Edgy, nice work, but I'm quite sure that David Wright has amassed some total bases (12) in the 2008 season.

AG/DC Apr 05 2008 12:17 PM

Yeah, he was supposed to start at 1078. Too much cutting and pasting.

Here's something rare in Mets history (more rare than it ought to be, as a matter of fact): A player hitting his 100th home run as a Met. This year, it looks like it will happen twice, with David Wright currently at 98 and Carlos Beltran at 90. (And if Carlos Delgado has that big comeback we've been hoping for, but not expecting, he can also join the 100 Club this season. He'll need 38 home runs in 2008. He's done it before, but it doesn't seem likely that he'll do it again.) One hundredth home runs have never occurred more than once in the same Mets season before. No Met has reached this milestone in almost seven years. Here are the eight previous times a Mets player has hit number 100: Ed Kranepool August 3, 1976 Dave Kingman August 18, 1981 Darryl Strawberry August 27, 1986 Howard Johnson June 21, 1989 Kevin McReynolds September 11, 1990 Todd Hundley May 5, 1997 Mike Piazza September 22, 2000 Edgardo Alfonzo August 18, 2001

How about the collection of star crossed Mets whose careers ended too ugly for them to get into that club? Foster (99) Boniilla (95), and Jones (93).

Prediction: David Wright doesn't finish the year with 636 total bases

AG/DC Apr 05 2008 09:16 PM

Way to jinx the guy! Reyes, meanwhile, added one today and is tied with Rusty Staub. That's fitting, as they are such similar players.

Hot Rod can pitch. At least pre-op Hot Rod.

HRs by pitchers: Gooden - 7 Seaver - 6 Terrell -3 (1 season!) Aguilera - 3 D. Cardwell - 3 (as a reliever) Koosman - 2 Darling - 2

AG/DC Apr 14 2008 11:22 AM

Terrell's 3 were in two starts. (OE: No they weren't. Four starts. Stupid memory.) I think at least one of Cardwell's homers was as a starter. Didn't he and Koos somehow pitch a doubleheader sweep where both games were 1-0 complete game jobbies with teh pitcher homering for the only run?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 14 2008 11:24 AM

Cardwell and Koosman each had the RBI's in that doubleheader, but I don't think they came on homers.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 14 2008 11:36 AM

Here it is. Game 1, Koosman: http://ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=1279 Game 2, Cardwell: http://ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=1280

Sort of surprised Carter so low on the list.

It looks like Steve Trachsel will end up being the winningest Mets pitcher of the decade: http://ultimatemets.com/decades.php?ThisDecade=2000 And Tom Glavine will be the inningest. Piazza still leads the decade in a few categories, but by the end of next season, he may not lead in any.

One hundredth home run as a Met (updated again): Ed Kranepool August 3, 1976 Dave Kingman August 18, 1981 Darryl Strawberry August 27, 1986 Howard Johnson June 21, 1989 Kevin McReynolds September 11, 1990 Todd Hundley May 5, 1997 Mike Piazza September 22, 2000 Edgardo Alfonzo August 18, 2001 David Wright April 13, 2008 Carlos Beltran June 16, 2008 Don't know who's going to be next. Delgado, if he has an unexpected resurgence AND returns next year. (Extreme long shot, I'd say.) Otherwise, Jose Reyes, unless the Mets import a slugger who can overcome Jose's 53+ head start.

Valadius Jul 21 2008 07:56 PM

Jose Reyes has broken the all-time Mets record for triples with his 63rd the other night. Reyes is now: 1st in triples 2nd in stolen bases 8th in runs scored 11th in hits 12th in total bases (one behind David Wright, seven behind Jerry Grote) 13th in at-bats 14th in doubles 22nd in games played 24th in strikeouts (tied with Tom Seaver) 25th in runs batted in 28th in home runs (tied with Butch Huskey and Wayne Garrett) 29th in walks (one behind Gary Carter)

Gwreck Jul 21 2008 09:35 PM

If Reyes gets re-signed after his current contract is up, either he and Wright will likely hold the lead in every single counting offensive statistic.

I made the above post on June 17. Delgado did have that "unexpected resurgence" and now had 99 home runs as a Met. He looks really likely to become the next guy in the 100 club. Hopefully this year. Hopefully tonight. But even if he doesn't, I'm sure he'll get more chances in 2009. George Foster, by the way, is the one Met who has remained forever stuck at 99 home runs.
