If so, please let the NY Mets and his family know.

jerseygirl, you red sox fan, you: is that schadenfreude I sense? I googled for Mo...couldn't find 'im, but I found this fan site that says Mo is a babe!

Hum... Mendoza batting average, a strike-out per game and a bum knee. I think my Mets are better off without him. I do hope he's all right though and hope his family tracks him down.

Has anyone called the Foxy Lady in Providence? Or Rod Rutledge's house?

cromulent: Used in an ironical sense to mean legitimate, and therefore, in reality, spurious and not at all legitimate. Assumes common knowledge of the inherent Simpsons reference.

I wasn't sure if it was the first FPP with a picture, but it went well with the post... i thought. nope msacheson, I like Mo quite a bit despite the problems he had with the Red Sox and the last team Red Sox Nation is worried about is the Mets. That being said, hope he's okay. Speaking of "being ok" - where's djacobs? It could be safe to presume he is obviously too distraught to post on this matter. Either that, he's off with (*cough* *cough* kidnapped) Mo Vaughn. Either scenerio is entirely possible.

Is there a pop quiz on last night's vocabulary homework? My contribution, in honor of vito's 'cromulent' : crapulence. Johnny, please use your word in a sentence so I can give you full credit. Perhaps an explanation for Mo's absence is that he prefers to wallow in his own crapulence than face the career-threatening-injury music. Very good Johnny! You get a scratch-n-sniff! Uh-huh, she said 'scratch.' Uh-huh! Disclaimer: Though I jest, I hope he's cool and doing ok.

I still find it difficult to believe Mo Vaughn could just disappear. That's like trying to hide Yao Ming at a midget convention.

I did some more research on Mo, by the way. Entry: fat Function: adjective Definition: overweight Synonyms: beefy, big, blimp, brawny, broad, bulging, bulky, bull, burly, butterball, chunky, corpulent, cow, distended, dumpy, elephantine, fleshy, gargantuan, gross, heavy, heavyset, hefty, husky, inflated, jelly-belly, lar, large, meaty, obese, oversize, paunchy, plump, plumpish, ponderous, porcine, portly, potbellied, pudgy, roly-poly, rotund, solid, stout, stubby, swollen, thickset, tubby, weighty, whale Antonyms: anorexic, lean, skinny, slender, slim, thin Concept: weight (heavy) Source: Roget's Interactive Thesaurus, First Edition (v 1.0.0) Ponderous. That's what the weight should read on Mo's ballcards.

Perhaps he's off taking care of the pain in his own way...

I can't BELIEVE you posted an ESPN link on the front page.

Uh, oh, it's ass-kicking time!

Deal with it. Don't take your repressed worry and anger about the unknown whereabouts of Mo Vaughn out on me. Punk! ... or something.

I'm so unconvincing as a hardass.

I work beside a great Expos fan -- like me! -- who used to do radio commentary for the team. When I read him a bit of this post he said, insistent: "No, we want Mo Vaughn in their line-up!"

Holy crap! Is this the first FPP with a pic? Watch out, here comes StarFooker and his randy pics!
