I went to the library and went to check the National Geographic, which I read there when I get a chance. And, what do I see? <a href="http://www.1001actus.com/wp-content/patricia-kaas-une.jpg" rel="nofollow">This photograph</a> on the cover of the Match magazine from Paris. I picked up the National Geographic and stood staring at the picture on Match for a good while. I didn't even know who Patricia Kaas was (she's over 40, however), but that picture had me hooked. Never read a word in Nat'l Geographic and left when my wife came to collect me at the library.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('123477','Eagle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('123477','Eagle','Steve,\r\n\r\nI had a similar experience to you this evening (the J Anniston experience).

You stinkin Mets fans are pumping your chest hard after signing K- Rod and Putz. Well, let me a Phillies fan remind you that your starting rotation after Santana is garbage. Your bullpen still sucks before the 8th inning. Jose Reyes s still a Jack-ass who will always talk as big as Rollins, but will never be able to hold his jock strap. Delgado will not produce the midseason numbers he did last year, and Beltran will come up small for your club once again. Go ahead and trade your prospects for Marquis, he will just be another piece of litter in the trash heap that you call New York. Come September, you will again be looking up at the Phillies in the standings, as we will be on top once again. But rumor has it, David Wright prefers his men to be on top.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('123464','Phils Fan Jay'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('123464','Phils Fan Jay','Well, well, well.

Carp was also upset when Murphy was brought up ahead of him and right now was more worried about how much money he was going to make in winter ball plus he is limted to play 1st base but offensivly he does not project as a big time ML'er at that possition. Mark, I love the moves and I'm an Omar guy but we still need a starting pitcher and right handed bat in the outfield.

But to say “To Mike Carp, all the best as a fringe ML’er”, seems a bit arrogant on your part to project someone’s career before he is given the chance. How many Mets fans (you included) were saying the Mets had nothing in the Minors before Dan Murphy came up to the bigs? Carp had nearly identical minor league stats at the AA level last year as Murphy. The knock on him seemed to be his fielding (much like Murphy I might add). In the American league, he won’t have to field. He’ll play DH and maybe be a backup 1B. He could be a stud DH, only time will tell.
