Reyes said he believes Henderson's record of 130 stolen bases in a season will not be broken, at least by him.
"It's not that easy," said Reyes a free swinger whose biggest impediment would be reaching base as often as Henderson did. "First of all, you have to get on base, and you have to steal second, and you have to steal third. Stealing 130? That's too much.
"I've worked with Rickey (a part-time Mets instructor) and he told me one day, 'You can do it,' and I said, 'Rickey, the last two years, I had 124 stolen bases (combined). See the difference? That's way too many bases.' "
THOSE DUDES

lol at Bob Feller and various old Mets walking onto field on Ralph Kiner Night to the theme from Jurassic Park
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 16 July 2007 15:41 (eighteen years ago)
Good to see Ed Charles though
― Michael F Gill, Monday, 16 July 2007 16:12 (eighteen years ago)
also, they put the opening bars of the "Kiner's Korner" theme (brassy '60s sports music) on an 8-second loop for Ralph's 5-minute entrance, which had to induce some seizures.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 16 July 2007 16:15 (eighteen years ago)
pedro already seems like he's from another baseball era from far in the past, it's weird.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 10:59 (eighteen years ago)
Like the era when the Mets scored 4 runs per game.
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 13:54 (eighteen years ago)
seriously
― Michael F Gill, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 14:53 (eighteen years ago)
Duque with the single, steal, and run. Must be the Rickey influence.
(did we really need any more aggression though? Mets lead MLB in steals!)
― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 03:29 (eighteen years ago)
mets scored what, 7 runs tonight?
goddamn paul lo duca sucks.
― hstencil, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 08:27 (eighteen years ago)
yeah man the last thing i wanna see is a winning team be "aggressive."
― hstencil, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 08:30 (eighteen years ago)
Mets pitchers with >1 stolen base, career
Tom Seaver 4 Orlando Hernandez 2 Danny Frisella 2
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 13:18 (eighteen years ago)
Being aggressive on the base paths should be the last of their worries at the moment!
― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:00 (eighteen years ago)
they did make Barrett look silly last night.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:01 (eighteen years ago)
From what I've heard, Barrett's needed little help this year in that regard (even disregarding the pitcher fights).
― David R., Wednesday, 18 July 2007 15:08 (eighteen years ago)
Barrett has thrown out 6 of 22 batters for the Padres. Bard has thrown out 7 of 55. Rob Bowen has thrown out 4 of 27 for the Cubs/Padres (1 of 4 with the Cubs). Barrett has been a huge improvement in that area, and yet still is pretty bad, but the Padres pitchers are completely indifferent to steals, so the catchers can't really be blamed too much.
One area Barrett hasn't helped is passed balls, which is his biggest defensive weakness. But he has been hitting very well!
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:28 (eighteen years ago)
Marlon Anderson, star of the game!
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 20 July 2007 16:46 (eighteen years ago)
whoever it is filling in for buck today is so bad he makes me miss him, a little.
― hstencil, Saturday, 21 July 2007 22:32 (eighteen years ago)
ALOHA ADAM WTF?!?!????!?
― hstencil, Saturday, 21 July 2007 22:52 (eighteen years ago)
Looks like Valentin's gone for the rest of the season. Hopefully there won't be a rush fill-in trade to compensate.
― Michael F Gill, Saturday, 21 July 2007 23:06 (eighteen years ago)
ouch.
― hstencil, Saturday, 21 July 2007 23:53 (eighteen years ago)
Nice comeback today. Chip Ambres with the winning RBI? I'll take it!
― Michael F Gill, Sunday, 22 July 2007 23:45 (eighteen years ago)
goddamn lo duca's fault chip ambres hit that rbi.
