Kenny Rogers=The Roaster (The Entertainer of the same name lent his name to a chain of CA chicken restaurants Needed a comma there. I couldn't figure out what "Kazmir the Roaster" was. Also, I might have my country music wrong, but I thought he was "The Gambler" [??] Yeah, but Kenny Rogers, the pitcher, is nicknamed The Roaster because of Kenny's, The Gambler, restaurants and his hot temper

Small kaboom for Beltran Hey kinda like ARod!

Why am I suddenly getting images of black cats running around Shea this upcoming weekend? I dunno....because you're a knee-jerk reactionary? Trying to go with the funny Veteran laden team runs up a big lead Team expected to lose 100 squirms out of the pack of horrid NL East teams with a young manager and lots of young talent to be 2nd in July heading into a series against said 1st place team Hmmmm, haven't I've seen THAT before! SC=1969

ScarletKnight41 wrote: Fuckshit! A-Rod homers to give the MFYs a 6-4 lead Leave to A-Hole to once again get a "Big Clutch HR" wiped out thanks to a blowout. Like the Reggie Jackson HR in the 78 Playoff game that officially iced the game (Dent put them ahead but the Sox scored off of Gossage later) "Big" moments like that get lost in the translation of the game! I'm saying this because its all the ESPN GameNight radio hosts were talking about, saying the Grand Slam, coupled with last week's Walkoff should take the King Kong sized gorilla off ARod's back

="RealityChuck"]="SteveJRogers"]4 Starters part of a log jam for 2nd all time in the current configuration (and this includes the Final Man voting as well). Reds in 76 lead with 5 Nope. Reds in 1957, with seven starters (later marked down to five). This was fan voting, by the way. Cincinnati fans stuffed the ballot box, voting for all the Reds' starters. Stan Musial was the only non-Red on the starting team. The commissioner of baseball replaced Wally Post and Gus Bell with Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. I said current configuration which meant since 1970 That of course, as well as the year before the Reds had another instance of heavy ballot stuffing (with no internet or foreign country votes to contend with either) was why the vote was taken away untill 1970

Not thinking, too much consternation over Kazmir over the years I guess

Couple of Ex-s as well as an ex-prospect, all in the AL Kazmir The Roaster and Gary Matthews Jr

Doubt he'll get it, "too many" blunders fresh in Met fan's heads, even with the casual or non fans, it has been documented that he is clearly not the reason for the Mets' success this year

Essentially, and usually when doing ultimate bad guy roles (Bond villans, most of your good sci-fi/fantasy/horror villians) or the uber-leader hero (Star Trek's captains, ect), the actor will over-compensate his (or her) lack of acting talent, or just plain having fun with the role, will go over the top and turn the character in the scene into a complete one-dimensional character. It works when giving long dramatic speechs

In fact, how much do you want to bet that if someone posted a comment about the deadspin.com pictures, positive or negative, that it would be zapped immeadiatly

OTOH, there's something to be said for having a player put together a kid-friendly column like that. Blogs (or anything internet related) are very dangerous for famous, or "important" people to have. So you really do have to be measured in everything you do. If that means being banal and kid-friendly, then thats what it means, otherwise the wrong thing gets posted and Wright would be on the carpet and be told to shut down the blog

Thats how it was formatted in the site I cut and pasted it from. As for the KC Assclown, ZVon found it and KC took it for his avatar over the weekend. I forget who it was in regards to, but someone was mentioning shooting an ass clown and Z made a back-to-back image thing of it

KC wrote: I was about to post: This team is due for a collapse, but saw this was bumped ... ... the starting pitching sucks, we ain't got a second baseman, freakin' thumb boy is waving at trophies and posting about post season lineups, papers and tv pundits are declaring the Mets are tops, Floyd has been hurt forever but it took forever to DL him -- woohoo -- he's going to Coney Island tomorrow, Milledge - eh, I'll stop at that. The division sucks, the Mets have been playing over their heads and the media bought into it and I wouldn't be shocked if they lose tomorrow and and get embarrased by the Yanks over the weekend - who barely have anyone left in the starting lineup. Yuck. Freaking thumb boy? You're saying a 29 year old guy pointing at a 20 year old trophy is bringing us bad karma? True if any or more of the other NL Least teams were in the 5-9 game out range and over .500 I'd be deeply concerned, but I'd chalk this up to a mid-season speed bump rather than the Mets falling back to earth (see 05 Orioles and Nationals) Yeah thats probably because of the lack of depth in our division. I trust Omar and staff will pull the trigger on moves, hell I even SAID as much in that postseason roster thread. There should be a professional 2Bman and some SP depth, and it better come A freaking SAP. But we have enough of a lead where we can start experimenting with Pelfrey, ect Now, the Milledge touchable thing is a very tricky topic. You'll hear from fans both on the Internet Met Community, and the callers on radio shows act like complete hypocrites citing Jose Reyes (as someone often rumored and often used as a IMC and caller "chip" in a hypothetical trade to get a big name star to Shea) and Scott Kazmir (as the ultimate "one that got away, despite being used as a chip in the aforementioned hypotheical trades) as to why we shouldn't trade Milledge, even if it nets a Zito or a Willis. Is this a dire situation? No. Talk to me after the deadline about dire straights if the roster is relativly the same, save for a prospect or two filling holes in the rotation, then I'll press the panic button and start threads declaring whoever is in 2nd as the 2006 NL East Champions!

Or Scarsdale!
