I do think that the Mets did not have room for him--even with the lack of a true backup first baseman--but he seemed like a good guy and was quite a player for a few years. And, hell, he did pretty well last year--and was one of the few Mets who actually showed up in September. And, of course, he is no worse than the second best Jewish position player ever--he did us proud! Shawn Green will be missed.

That guy hit for the cycle yo! (As did Olerud which I didn't remember) Dude we had Eric Valent manning first base for a while. That guy hit for the cycle yo! (As did Olerud which I didn’t remember)

Maybe he felt his hat had less of a chance of blowing off on the west coast??

And by the way, not to go off on a tangent since it was almost ten years ago, but I for one to this day think that the Mets not resigning Olerud - yes, despite the fact that he wanted to go back home to Seattle - was one of the biggest mistakes the organization ever made. Piazza NEVER had a hitter hitting in front of him like Olerud, as he did from '98-99. I firmly believe that if Olerud had stayed that Mike's numbers would be potentially greater as a Met than they were.

It was a choice between Rand McNally and Carmen Sandiego. Actually, I meant Rand but added the Y by mistake, thus setting me up to be dissed by the blog’s creator.

"Pwn" is a new one.....from "internet gaming culture". That explains my ignorance. Thanks mOOkie. I thought “Randy” was a clever play on “Rand”, but you’d have to ask cbusmetsfan.
