Mota Suspended!

[Frayed Knot]

50 games for violating the drug program (per WFAN)

The penalty will be served at the start of the 2007 season.
He is a FA

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Yeeee.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

adios

[duan]

so 'tipping his pitches' was the problem eh and not that he couldn't get the brand of juice?

[metirish]

WOW...he's back to being a prick again in my book..

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

<--- I know we can get a better Roger photo than this.

[metirish]

How about a raging Roger?

Omar Minaya:

"Aaron Heilman, get off that block. Come here, boy. Haven't I always told you how much I love you? Love? Did I say 'love'? Why next to what I feel for you, love is

crap

! Have a cigar, boy. Say, you got a nice family, yessiree, boy, a

nice

family. God, I love Notre Dame. My mother is a devout Catholic, a saint really, and she wanted me to go there. But I wasn't smart enough. But you were. Yessirree, you sure were. And that's why I know you're going to understand what I'm saying to you..."

Bradford's price (also a FA) just went up.

doesn't this significantly lower his price? wouldn't you bring a guy like that in at league-minimum knowing you'd have him ready to go around June 1st?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Not if I feel the guy has already compromised the team. Which he has.

[Elster88]

That's great news. Fuck him.

[Willets Point]

Dude, he cheated AND he blew a game the Mets should've won in the NLCS.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

A healthy Duaner Sanchez will replace Mota nicely.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sheesh. Could you imagine the shame if he we won the pennant? Or the whole kahuna? Really, thank God the Mets lost, or the organization and the fans have to live with a tainted championship forever.

You just broke my sarcasm-meter, but my silver lining from the loss really is that Mota wasn't on a Met WS Champ.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I could have lived with that.

[Elster88]

Me too. Hence the usage of silver lining.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I suppose a true test of whether we've actually turned into the Yankees is whether they decide to keep Mota and pretend he hadn't been cheating a la Sheffield and Giambi.

When I googled Welcome A-Bordick I got this as the first link...

kinda funny.

[Guest Edgy DC]

A cute little 25-year-old chickie who knows exactly how cute she is and plays it for all it's worth was at a party with me last Saturday. On hearing from a third party that I was Mets-lovin', she put on a simulataneous ominous and sassy voice and said, "The Mets are pond scum."

Folks stopped moving in the room, held their breath, bracing for my response. I enjoyed this season, and damned if I was going to ruin a perfectly good party by taking the low road. "Nah," I said. "They're perfectly good people. Who's your team?"

"The Cardinals."

"Wow! You just got yourself a world championship! Congratulations!"

"Uh, thanks."

"Must feel great!"

"Yeah."

"Well, enjoy it. It's OK to be a gracious winner. Championships don't come too often."

The air came back into the room and I started a new conversation with someone else. Ms. Edgy told me later that the whole conversation, her boyfriend was looking at her (she was dressed as the Virgin Mary, by the way) like "Shee, why you gotta be such a monstrous bitch?"

She added that if I played my cards right, boyfriend would have gone home with me. Instead, I hugged the silly Virgin Mary at the end of the night. The moral highground is a great thing to have. It would suck if Mota stole that.

As it is, we would have won the division if he had never showed up, and I'm not ashamed of beating the Dodgers with him, because they spawned his doping ass, and he probably won more than a few games on the juice with him themselves.

[Elster88]

That story just confused the hell out of me.

[Guest cooby]

Was the boyfriend dressed as Joseph? And why would you go home with him?

[metirish]

Mota admits to it...

] ''I have no one to blame but myself,'' Mota said. ''I used extremely poor judgment and deserve to be held accountable.''

A proud moment for me, naming that tune in one guess.

This whole thread is starting to confuse me

Boyfriend was Gabriel. I wouldn't have. The point is I could have, because I made her disgusting unto him.

[Guest cooby]

Okay, now please explain why metirish said what he said about googling Abordick.

(nice use of biblical talk there)
