Memories of Antonio Bastardo

[Guest themetfairy]

Occasional flashes of adequacy, but he disappointed more often than was acceptable.

I'll miss overpronouncing his name (BASTARD-o), but I won't miss him.

I think there was a game where he got out of a bases loaded jam. But he sent a lot of balls into the cheap seats.

Cool character. Big, high butt.

Maybe it's just my impression but he was worse once there were a few guys on base. He sure took a long time once a jam started too. Like, a LONG time.

Took his sweet-ass time.

Gave up hits like it was his job.

At some point in during the 2019 season his name will come up and I will not remember him ever being a Met.

Made more Mets fans late for more eastbound trains from Woodside than signal trouble in the East River tunnel.

I wanted the Bastardo I saw on the Phils when he was pretty damn good (yrs ago).
We got Bubblebutt.

[Edgy MD]

He was pretty darn good last year too. And he's kinda developing one of those better years/poorer years alternating patterns that some relievers can fall into.

I was wrong about this dude. At the time of the signing I loved it. But he sucked a big fat rope.

[ashie62]

He had an unusually fat ass.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I suspect he did something beyond sucking to get on Terry's bad side, it was almost as if he got in the doghouse THEN started to really suck. at any rate, he truly sucked and good on the Mets to cashier him.

That rotten Bastardo went and through a perfect inning tonight for the Buccos.

I mean, it was against the Braves, but he's in line to pick up a hold (only his eightH of the year) and HOLYCRAPTHEPIRATESAREWINNINGTHEBASTARDOTRADE!!
