I'd hate to be Minaya in these negotiations...what leverage can he possibly have? What's to stop Johan from asking for 8 years, $200 million?

We are so going to crash that Bar Mitzvah.

I feel bad for the sports fans in Boston.

Holy fucktarts.

Just like with Gimme a Met, we should start calling these so we can take our time with our answer.

Former Met: Joe McEwing Current Met: David Wright It's 3 a.m....you're drunk, you've run up an enormous bar tab and you realize you lost your wallet sometime during the night. You also can't drive in the state you're in. You reach into your pocket and realize you have fifty cents, enough for two phone calls. Who is most likely to come get you, settle the bar tab, and drive you home?

Oops. I took so long mine was in answer to Edgy's original scenario. Please disregard.

Former Met: Easy, Todd Pratt. Todd has done this a million times and comes up with dastardly things even you hadn't thought of. Current Met: Harder. I guess Jose, but with him, you're the ringleader and you have to point the way for your young friend. New Situation: Your roof needs repair...money is tight and you don't want to lay out to have it done professionally. It's hot, sunny, you have one day to get it done. Pick the two Mets you call for help.

I know it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but somehow I'd feel better about adding Martinez if we still had Milledge.

Even after all he's done for baseball? Some fan you are.

I got nothing right? Anthony Young, Anderson Hernandez, CF.

The reporter is going around asking for your favorite artist for the yearbook. No time to think, no qualifiers, name your one favorite artist RIGHT NOW!!!!

I think he answered something like "Azucar Moreno y los Reyes Conquistadores; Pablo Valera; And also Los Tres Macheteros!" and the reporter wrote "All salsa music." Maybe he said "All sorts of music"

Is AG/DC new?

It's as good a plan as any I've heard...and it certainly beats holding out for a long-shot like Santana to pan out. I can't remember being this disappointed in an off-season. Maybe the winter of 2000-2001.

It's hard to argue with what Klapisch is writing there. I agree with him about the Milledge trade. I agree that if Lastings' value was that low, we would have been better off keeping him. Collapse or no collapse, the Mets weren't good enough to win the division or the Wild Card. Any team that doesn't win 90 games doesn't have a legitimate beef about missing the playoffs. Simply stated, the 2007 Mets weren't good enough, and the 2008 Mets don't look to be any better (maybe even worse). I realize Omar's hands may be tied and that there aren't a lot of great options out there, but he is the General Manager, and it's his job to figure something out. So far, he hasn't....meaning he is definitely a not "hot". You're right, it's not Opening Day, and there is still time. But in the past, most big off-season moves happen before New Year's...meaning the chances are low that something significant will be done. And if Omar does figure out something, his "hot/not" status can change...but as of right now, it's not looking good. Can anyone say they're happy with this team right now? I don't see why Klapisch should feel any different.

134 pitches wasn't unusual for Leiter. The bad part was that it would only get you to through five.

I'm confused. I thought I was Tommy.

Funny as in it amuses me...like a fucking clown. That's what's fucking funny.
