After reading the latest article about the Mets new acquisition, Kelvim Escobar. I am just looking for news somewhere that is going to explain the reason for the Mets recent pitching staff signings. They are signing nothing but injury plagued over the hill clowns, or just straight up nobodies. Are they trying to get some extra pieces for a future trade? I wish I could spend a day in the mind of Omar & Co.
To Kelvim Escobar, It seems the Mets have signed him to a 1 year deal worth somewhere around $1.25 Million. Since putting up 18 wins in 2007. Escobar has been a non-factor in MLB. Escobar has some good relief experience. Word on the street is that his is going to be given a shot at middle relief / setup man. I guess it can’t get any worse.
The Mets are on the verge of an agreement with a 35 year old knuckleballer named R.A. Dickey. Another no named sub .500 pitcher on the roster. Who would have thought….
Just not sure what the actual reasoning behind this is? Why don’t they sign an actual minor league prospect to a minor league contract instead of an old road warrior. Where is this going? Is he someone that can be used in a future trade? Who else would want this guy?
I am pretty excited that the Mets have put in some effort to better there line up with the likes of Jason Bay. I am pretty excited that they are taking into consideration that if they want to get the most out of there pitchers. They need a good experiences catcher with a good baseball mind in the likes of Bengie Molina. I feel that both of these great player would add to the current Mets roster.
In the wake of all the rumors of Bay leveraging the Mets against themselves. The hold up of Molina wanting that extra year on his contract despite the fact that he is 35 years old. The Mets have seem to have completely forgot about the fact that they are in extreme need for starting pitching.
It is a very well known fact that in order to compete late in the year (post-season). You have to have at least 2 aces in your lineup. John Maine, Mike Pelfrey or Oliver Perez are 4th or 5th in the rotation on any playoff bound team in the league. If you ask me, they would be lucky to even be on the roster of a team that is competing come October.
I am not saying that I am love with Jason Marquis either. His best year came in 2004 when he went 15-7 with a 3.71 ERA. Since then he has been nothing but average. His career pitching numbers being just above .500 with an ERA close to 4.50. He did have a good start last year making the All-Star team for the first time in his career due to a 11-6 start. The second half of the season didn’t go as well finishing up at 15-13.
After going on about how shitty Marquis is. I realized that the mets probably didn’t lose out on this. More so passing up another opportunity on the next Oliver Perez. But where do they go next. Is there anyone else out there in the mix? All of the real pitchers have been snatched up by contenders.
Is there any big name players out these that even care to play for this organization anymore?
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoyed eating turkey until you bust, drinking whisky til you puke and watching football with a fucking helmet on. Now to some Mets news!
I know it has been a while since I posted about the Mets, but who wants to talk about the same bullshit rumors every fucking day. When something actually transpires, I will be the first to let you know, but I am sick of all of the speculation. It is ridiculous.
Anyway, according to FoxSports.com, the Mets are close to re-signing RHP Elmer Dessens. Yes, you read that right, Elmer “Fudd” Dessens.
What an awesome fucking move.
The 39–year-old Dessens had a 36.31 ERA in just 8 relief appearances for the Mets last season, during which left-handed batters hit .793 against him. He struck out 4 batters and walked 76, while allowing 19 home runs. Okay, so I am exaggerating a little, but are you fucking kidding me with this bullshit? Ridiculous.
Can we focus on maybe getting some fucking guys, who could hit, or play the field? Maybe a starting pitcher who can last more 2/3 of an inning? I don’t know. Fuck it, I am not getting my hopes up.
Gary Sheffield and Carlos Delgado are not coming back for the rest of the season, due to the fact that they are both 50 years old, and at that age, their pussies begin to hurt a lot more.
Sheffield is currently suffering from back and pussy spasms.
Delgado was on his way back from surgery on his hip before straining a penis muscle in August, and he is not currently performing any baseball or sexual activities.
Delgado was hitting .298 with four home runs and 23 RBI in 26 games before being shutdown.
Both players will be free agents at the end of the season. Bye, you fucking pussies. See you guys later.
After pitching four scoreless innings in a minor league rehab game on Saturday for St. Lucie, John Maine returned to the Mets for yesterday’s game in New York.
Maine went on to say that getting paid millions of dollars to do nothing is what cured him, as Dr. James Andrews instructed him on July 29 to stop throwing and start drinking patron for two weeks, and Maine said that made the difference.
He does regret not resting earlier, telling reporters:
“I probably should’ve starting drinking earlier but didn’t.”
“As soon as I was feeling better I stopped throwing off the mound and long tossing, I knew I was not going to pitch.”
He says that drinking during the off season will ensure he is ready for Spring Training.
And lastly, yesterday in Brooklyn, Carlos Beltran batted second for the Cyclones and went 1 for 5 with a run scored as the Cyclones lost.
After the game, Beltran declared himself 100 percent and said “I’m good to go.”
Although there has been no official word as to when Beltran might be activated, he is hoping that he returns to action tomorrow against the Marlins at Citi Field.
I am reporting that Michael Baron from MetsBlog.com is reporting that, Joe McDonald of the Providence Journal is reporting that the Mets have completed the trade that sent Billy Wagner to the Red Sox. So remember, if anyone asks you where you heard the news, and what you were doing on this fateful day in Mets history, tell them me! Now, without further a due, here it is…
The Mets will receive 20 year old minor-league first baseman Eddie Lora, who hit .222 in the Gulf Coast League this season.
I will let you soak that in for a second.
I know.
For Billy Wagner.
That’s right.
Smooth fuckin move Omar. What a fuckin deal maker you are!
Gary “Baba Booey” Dell’abate, producer of the Howard Stern show (my favorite), has single handedly ruined the Mets season. The New York Mets were in 1st place and healthy on May 9, 2009. Then this happened…
Gary launched a fuckin meatball into the fuckin stands. The worst pitch in the history of baseball.
Ever since that fateful pitch, the fuckin Mets were doomed. They went into a downward spiral from which they never recovered. Lets take a look at the unfortunate series of events that have occured since that day.
The Mets were in 1st place with a 16-13 record, since then, they have gone 41-57.
Every single player on the Mets opening day roster has been to the disabled list… Most never to return this season.
April 18th: Brian Schneider, right after it was announced Baba Booey was going to throw out the 1st pitch.
May 8th: Oliver Perez, the day before the fateful pitch.
May 16th: Carlos Delgado May 19th: Alex Cora May 26th: Ryan Church & Jose Reyes
June 2nd – Angel Pagan June 5th – Ramon Martinez June 6th - J.J. Putz June 12th: John Maine June 23rd: Carlos Beltran
July 10th: Fernando Martinez July 11th: Church for Francoeur Trade Helps the squad but doesn’t add any depth to the depleted team.July 20th: Fernando Nieve July 26th: Gary Sheffield
August 5th: Jon Niese
August 16th: David Wright
August 18th: Alex Cora (second time)
August 25th: Johan Santana
August 26th: Oliver Perez (second time)
Need more proof? I think otherwise. But here is more proof.
I love Howard Stern, and I like Baba Booey, but this motherfucker needs to stay the fuck away from the fuckin Mets.
I actually met Gary once, in Boca Raton, Fl at Neighborhood’s Sports BAr and Grill, for a Mets playoff game against the Cardinals in 2006. I had the pleasure of sitting at the table next to him. The Mets were winning then too, in the playoffs and everything, then I speak to him, and the next day the Mets collapse. We all know what happened in 2006, and 2007, and 2008, and now 2009.
You think this is coincidence, I do not. And I blame Gary, that buck toothed bastard.
Thanks a lot, Gary, you fuckin asshole. Maybe I can have Gary give me his tickets, so I can go to a game in style.
Another on Bites the Dust, and another one down, and another one down, Another One Bites the Dust…
Oliver Perez has been diagnosed with patella tendon tendinosis in his right knee and will have season-ending surgery.
Perez was examined today by Dr. Altchek at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
The Mets expect Perez to be ready for Spring Training.
Since the depleted Mets have lost their 22 player of the year, they decided to replace Oliver Perez, with this man, whose name is Oliver Perez. He should be just as good even though he has no baseball experience…
The Mets starting rotation is now Mike Pelfrey, followed by Mike Pelfrey, Mike Pelfrey, Mike Pelfrey and lastly, Mike Pelfrey.
I guess we should have hung on to 143 year old, 63 mph meatball tosser, Livan Hernandez, who just signed with the Nats.
