He was pursued briefly by general manager Brian Cashman last season before the Yankees settled on Kelly Stinnett. <BR/><BR/>After hitting .207 with four homers and 19 RBIs in 62 games for the Braves in 2006, Pratt signed a Minor League contract with the Yankees in January following a personal invite from Cashman. <BR/><BR/>"Cashman called me and asked me if I'd be interested in a chance at making the team," Pratt said in a recent telephone interview. "Anytime you get a chance to be a Yankee, you can't turn it down."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-53689711619983212002007-02-07T10:51:00.000-05:002007-02-07T10:51:00.000-05:00I predict that OJ will play golf in florida while ...I predict that OJ will play golf in florida while poor Ron and Nicole will know no peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-31483419056911310662007-02-05T12:14:00.000-05:002007-02-05T12:14:00.000-05:00Fredstradamus, please stop putting salt in the coo...Fredstradamus, please stop putting salt in the cookies.<br /><br />adoniram, you're a kind and thoughtful man.Metstradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023215480704948183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-52261867776381802222007-02-05T06:32:00.000-05:002007-02-05T06:32:00.000-05:00All in all... not too impressive of a record.
The...All in all... not too impressive of a record.<br /><br />The odd thing is that I didn't think your predictions pessimistic at the time. <br /><br />If anything that speaks to the fact that the Mets really took a leap forward in 2006. I would be going out on a limb to predict this (after all, I don't take my name from a famous soothsayer) but could 2006 be the next 1985?<br /><br />In line with and in defense of your off-predictions... who among us seriously thought that:<br /><br />- The Mets would win 97 games?<br /><br />- Reyes would have the year he had?<br /><br />- Beltran would bounce back the way he did?<br /><br />- We would find a way to rid ourselves of Matsui?<br /><br />- The baseball gods in their justice and understanding of our suffering/humiliation would find a way to rid us of Zambrano?<br /><br />- Paul Lo Duca would hit .318 and match or exceed career highs in doubles, hits, and runs.<br /><br />- The Mets would not lose a single series to a National League team. (!?!?... then how the hell did they manage to lose the #&$^@* championship series to the #$*&# St. Louis Cardi... oh wait, I'm being positive here)<br /><br />The list could go on and on. Regardless of how heartbreaking 2006 ended up being, it's worth remembering that the sober realists among us could not have dreamed that the year would go as well as it did.<br /><br />Here's to more pessimistic/conservative predictions that our heroes far exceed in 2007. That's my kind of prophet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-87032118639558867022007-02-05T05:44:00.000-05:002007-02-05T05:44:00.000-05:00We're getting very excited out here for your two v...We're getting very excited out here for your two visits, Metstradamus:<br /><br />A.
