I got the address off a form I'd like to reproduce here--SABR just posted a bunch of documents. I screenshotted it, but am having some trouble getting it to post. Not a fascinating document, just kind of cool to see some of these. Maybe just post the URL: https://sabr.org/weiss-questionnaires/edward...

Seems awfully grim. No hint that he grew up, upstairs from a driving school and income tax shop, even if those two businesses weren't there when he was growing up.

Where did you get this?

Is Winker hurt? Marte in this lineup makes no sense to me.

Pete ties it up with a windblown double.

Kinda strange platoon system Mendoza's got there, Marte (r) over Winker (L) but Baty (L) playing instead of Acuna (R)

This is the Mets fan's version of "Marry, Fuck, Kill" of course.

I know, Vientos, right? But last night's substitution of Siri pinch-running for Vientos, made me wonder: what happens now if Pete twists an ankle, or gets concussed by a pitch, or is otherwise unable to play? Just for fun, let's suppose the Marlins manage to tie the game up, and we have to play mult...

I am deciding that this Forum is composed of rules-defiers, sufferers of Oppositional Defiance Disorder, contrarians, and men who don't take out the trash when their spouse wants them to.

You're no fun. I hate the Braves, fear the Phils, meh on the NATS, kind of like the marlins

You don't think Wilmer ISN'T? I'll take that bet.

I love Small Sample Theater. My favorite juncture is the 16th game of the year. Or maybe the 81st.

We're on pace to go 113-49 now, or even a bit better than that, which I would count as a successful season.

Which would you attach, if you were forced to, to each opponent, Nats, Braves, Phils, Fish?

... and given up 2 hits, 0 runs. That's 32 batters faced, with a minimum possible of 28 in that number of IP.

I don't think we can expect very much more of this.

I'd go Baty 3b, Acuna at 2B.

This is a no-walks situation for Stanek.

And--BOOKS!!

Rocket to lf wall, too hard-hit to score Soto.

I always figure that the Mets' attitude should be "Yeah, we don't like the cold, but the Florida players must HATE it."

Damn. Lindor & Soto reach to open the inning. Pete GIDP and weak chopper to second on first pitch end the promising inning. Senga finished after 5 innings. 5 shutout innings, but not what I'd call strong shutout innings. Danny Young? Really? Well, I guess he's got to get that 7.71 ERA down some...

Soto on base all ten games!

Has anyone mentioned what the record(s) is/are? Mets' record? NL record? MLB record? Record for most consecutive games, start of a season? Record for most consecutive games, player joining new team?

Eventually the Mets are going to load the bases with two outs and Jack one out.

I said "eventually"!

And Yankee fans and Dodger fans are giddy that he's not going to be a Met.

Pete will always have suitors. He can always choose to accept a longer-term, more-money contract from any of them than he will ever get from the Mets. If we didn't offer him the six- or eight- or whatever-year deal Boras sought last year, we're certainly not going to offer it to him this year or any...

I think these mostly get erased from memory but some are traumatic, or for some personal reason stick with you forever. Keith had a terrible slump in 1985 or so that I remember because he used a phrase like "lost in a dark forest" to describe it and that image stuck with me. I imagine Keit...

Being impressed by some aspects of somebody's work does not make them your mentor. It's quite true that Earl wasn't a warm and cuddly mentoring type, nor was Davey your typical eager-beaver "Please, Master, show me how it's done" type, but Earl was his manager for the majority of his MLB ...

Weaver would best be described as something less than a mentor to Davey. Not according to Davey. He says his first manager, Hank Bauer, was a nincompoop (who won in 1966 due to dumb luck), and then he praises at length Weaver's attitude in managing players and confronting umpires and manipulating l...
