Mets snooze and lose on right hander Marquis

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?

Tiger Woods Emerges

Tiger Woods has finally showed his face.  He took the photo below earlier today with his wife Elin.  They want to show the public that they are standing strong despite the media frenzy surrounding the world’s richest athlete.  I do not know about you, but for some weird reason, I do not think these injuries are consistent with a car accident.

Mike Tyson Arrested… Again!

Mike Tyson has been arrested at LAX airport for battery, after a bloody confrontation with a fan who wanted an autograph outside the United terminal. We’re told Tyson punched the guy 63 times in 4 seconds in the face.

Mike Tyson Paparazzi

Tyson was booked for misdemeanor battery and paid his bail.  The fan was also booked on misdemeanor battery — Tyson claims the fan got so close he actually made contact with the boxer.

We’re told Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred. The fan got punched in the face, hit the ground, got up, got punched again and began walking, leaving a trail of blood.

Someone at the scene tells TMZ … the fan got very close to Tyson before the boxer struck him. Our source says there’s blood and numerous teeth on the ground and Mike was taken away in a squad car. We’re told an ambulance was dispatched at 4:39 PM to LAX and the paparazzo was transported to a local hospital.

Cops say Tyson and the fan performed citizen’s arrests on each other — both are expected to be booked for misdemeanor battery. Cops also said witnesses backed both stories … so that could get interesting.

If Tyson is prosecuted, given that he’s a former boxing champ, the charge could end up being assault with a deadly weapon.

Tyson’s rep says he was traveling with his 10-month old daughter when he was attacked by an overly excited fan — adding the boxer acted in self-defense to protect his child.

Congrats to the New York Yankees

Well, I would like to take this to time to congratulate the 2009 World Champions, the New York Yankees.  These fucking cock suckers did it again.  But I am happy for them.  The kicked the shit out of the entire Phillies team, minus Chase Utley, who is a fucking monster.

And Mariano Rivera, what can you say, mother fucking killer.  I like that fucking guy.

I just hope the fucking Mets wake up and smell the fucking coffee.  These motherfuckers better do whatever it takes to get us the motherfucking talent that we motherfucking need.

Mortgage the fucking house, do what needs to be done and fucking produce.  Period.

To the Yankees fans reading this, congrats on a job well done, you guys deserve it.  But tomorrow, go fuck yourselves again.

Strawberry Picks Charity for Celebrity Apprentice

Well, now we know why Darryl Strawberry is currently filming “Celebrity Apprentice,”. Darryl Strawberry reportedly owes fucking $554,000 in taxes.

Darryl Strawberry Celebrity Apprentice

Strawberry, whose most memorable Mets moment had to be, when he snorted the foul line from home plate to the right field wall in one shot, was in and out of jail 300 times in the last 10 years for solicitation and drug related incidents — says “them days are over for me.”

Asked which charity he will be playing for on Trumps show, Darryl said and I quote, “Man, who the fuck you think mothafucka? The motherfuckin Darryl Strawberry Tax Relief Fund, that’s who bitch!”

Trump had this to say…

Donald Trump Celebrity Apprentice

So question is… how quick does he get booted?

Mets Officially Pass Choke On to the Tigers

In a stunning turn of events, the Detroit Tigers have officially choked worse than the Mets, officially ending their 3 year curse… hopefully.  Twins came from behind to beat the Tigers 6-5 tonight to take the one game playoff and advance to play the Yankees.

The Tigers had a sure thing 3 game lead over the Twins with fucking 4 to play.

Then Miguel Cabrera lost his fucking mind when he choked harder than A-Rod in the playoffs.  This asshole choked because he lost his mind Friday night.  He decides to go out in a drunken rage with the  Chicago Whitesox and then beat the shit out of his wife, and got tossed in the slammer.

This is hours before the most important game of the year for the Twins, which they lost, which caused this playoff game.

Cross your motherfucking fingers Mets fans for a good 2010, and thanks Twins, you cock faces.  Not even the Mets choked with a 3 game lead with four to play.

Crazy Rapper DMX trying to cash in on MMA

I know I am usually pretty liberal with my facts, but the following news article is 100% true… I shit you not, check for yourselves.

The rapper DMX is scheduled for a fight against Eric Martinez on the same card where Butterbean will take on Tank Abbott.

Go ahead, read that sentence again, and let it soak in.

Thunder Promotions, who is putting on this card in Birmingham, Ala. on Dec. 12, must not have been satisfied that the Butterbean/Tank Abbott bout was enough of a freak show fight. Eric “Butterbean” Esch, at 5′11″, 350 lbs., will likely outweigh the veteran Abbott by nearly 100 lbs.

But nothing screams freak show fights like a celebrity bout. DMX, the rapper who once was a part of Ruff Ryders, has become better known for his run-ins with the law than his musical talents. Cocaine and marijuana possession, theft, animal cruelty, criminal weapon possession, DUI, parole violations and giving a false name and social security number at a hospital are all part of his past.

In a recent interview, DMX said that he is working on two albums now because “the streets need him.”  He didn’t mention any training for MMA, but hey, who needs to train for a fight? The good news for DMX is that MMA is not regulated in Alabama, which is why freak show fights like this can happen. Drug testing is usually under the control of the state regulatory commissions, so DMX will most likely not have to take a drug test.

Reality TV star Spencer Pratt and baseball player Jose Canseco have also dipped their toes in the MMA pool. With Canseco, his fight ended in 77 seconds. Let’s see if DMX can last that long.
