"@Giancarlo818: Alright, I'm pissed off!!! Plain & Simple" @RNolasco47: Huh?.......?"

That should be wanker, silly auto spell thing.........although banker works for Loria

So all that work done to build a lasting fan base gets undone in a few weeks........Loria is a banker. All the best Mike Redmond.

WTF?

Of course she had as they say a nice body and good hands

I can't even picture him.......nice body?

Must be something in the air up that way because anytime I have watched a Seattle Sounders game the football stadium looks near capacity...

I happened upon a show last night on espn about athletes going broke and why they do....... Cliff Floyd featured in it, he is suing his former financial adviser for $12.5 million.....ouch I don't know much about Bernie Kosar but he looked some mess on the show, like a guy who has been through the wringer several times......a nervous wreck, some sad tales on the show

Ken Rosenthal says that the Mets are just bullshitting on Dickey, every chance that Ken is bullshitting too. Assorted notes from the GM meetings 23 hours ago by KenRosenthal INDIAN WELLS, Calif. � Assorted notes from the baseball general managers' meetings: � I already can hear the New York Mets� spin on right-hander R.A. Dickey now � the tried and true �Greedy Ballplayer� theory. Dickey, the Mets will say, wanted too much in a contract extension, so the team traded him rather than get suckered into a bad deal. Such a portrayal simply would not be accurate. The Mets, sources say, have shown little actual interest in negotiating with Dickey, who is under contract for next season at $5 million. Instead, they�re discussing him in trades at the GM meetings. If they get the right deal, they will just move on. Trading Dickey, 38, probably is the right thing for the Mets to do, considering all of their holes. But the Mets intend to pin this on Dickey, they first need to make him a substantial offer. That, sources say, has not happened. http://mlbbuzz.yardbarker.com/blog/mlbbuzz/article/assorted_notes_from_the_gms_meetings/12161323?new_post=true

A rave review by A.O. Scott in the NYT. Looking forward to seeing this one.

Did Weiss only get a one year deal?, thought I saw that but can't find it in any report, saw this though and it sounds nuts The former major league shortstop replaces manager Jim Tracy, who resigned Oct. 7 with one year and $1.4 million left on his contract rather than return to a club where its assistant general manager had moved his office into the clubhouse who the fuck does that? http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-400_162-57546930/walt-weiss-hired-as-colorado-rockies-manager-after-coaching-high-school-team/

Bay gets all his money....and it's a lot CBS Bay is getting all of the $21 million he was owed ($16 million for 2013, a $3-million buyout for 2014 and $2 million left on a signing bonus), CBSSports.com Insider Jon Heyman reports. Some of the payment is deferred, freeing up some money for the Mets this offseason. Sources tell CBSSports.com senior writer Danny Knobler that the deferral is over a relatively short period of time, meaning it won't linger on the team's books like Bobby Bonilla's contract. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/eye-on-baseball/20869030/mets-jason-bay-agree-to-part-ways

I clearly should've seen 6 assassins or whatever that movie was, but the selection of watchable flics wasn't high and they had power. LOL.....not giving you a hard time for going to see it........

This thread is gold......

Yep, giving up a closer to get a decent starter is good business.

Great description of Redmond. I knew he played for the Marlins but nothing else. Looks like the Marlins have trod the well worn road of hiring the polar opposite of the previous manager.

Well done Ceetar, meanwhile , bid on various things http://www.charitybuzz.com/auctions/Shannon

Excellent , didn;t know he was witness to this His heroics earned him a spot on Kiner�s Korner after the game along with Choo Choo Coleman. Hicks was an eyewitness to Coleman�s brief, but classic interview that is still told fondly today. �At the end of the game, he sent for me and Choo Choo Coleman to be on his show. I�ll never forget the interview; we had to climb up in the TV booth. We get up there, and Ralph Kiner said, �Hey Choo Choo, I saw your wife at the game today. What�s her name?� He said (in a southern drawl), �Mrs. Coleman.� Choo Choo didn�t know anyone�s name. He would just say, �Hey bub!�

FOX Sports JON PAUL MOROSI AND KEN ROSENTHAL SHARE THIS STORY UPDATED OCT 30, 2012 7:04 PM ET The New York Mets have formally exercised their 2013 contract options on David Wright and R.A. Dickey, major league sources told FOXSports.com on Tuesday. Wright�s option is worth $16 million. Dickey�s will be $5 million or more based on award bonuses. Wright and Dickey are the Mets� top position player and pitcher, respectively, and sources say the team remains engaged with both in discussions about long-term contracts. At this moment, both are eligible for free agency after the coming season. Wright is coming off his best year since at least 2008, and re-signing him for the long term is viewed as essential if the Mets want to remain relevant and competitive. The knuckleballing Dickey was one of the best stories in baseball this year and could win the National League Cy Young Award, after going 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/new-york-mets-david-wright-ra-dickey-exercise-2013-options-103012

Yeah, Deadspin , Gawker, same company? The logo is sweet, draws from their past schemes.

MLB Leaks New Astros Logo, Inexplicably Blames Hurricane Sandy The Astros are headed to the AL next year, and with a new league comes a new look�a blue and orange rebranding (because the Mets are totally the franchise you want to evoke) and a lone star logo. We know all this because it has leaked repeatedly in the last few days. First, it was merchandise at local sporting goods stores. Then it was Astros-branded iPhone cases sold online. MLB offered a public apology to the team for the leaks, and for ruining their official launch party this coming Friday. Then they went and leaked them again, on the Astros� official website. Go to the roster page, and after you�re done marveling at how the Stros don�t have a single marketable player, click on anyone and their profile shot shows them in the new duds. We have to presume this is part of an official-unofficial rollout, staged leaks to build buzz. (Is it working? Did you know about these new unis until just now?) The alternative is pure incompetence, with a truly bizarre explanation. An @MLB tweet from this morning: MLB Advanced Media, in advance of super-storm Sandy, inadvertently posted photos of players in their new uniforms on @Astros.com bio pages. Would really love to know what one has to do with the other. I guess it was very important that East Coasters saw those hot new unis before they lost power. http://updates.deadspin.com/

Seems like we have a few doubting dickies here............

I think we may have found the king of MFY-lovin' douchebags.....step forward MR. cannibal wanting douchebag....thnakfully this numb nut was caught(by his wife no less), but how fucking stoopid is he? NYPD stew as cannibal cop plots to cook and eat women: feds She married Valle in June, several months after having their daughter, Josephine. The family lived a seemingly normal life in a Forest Hills, Queens, apartment. After fleeing to Reno � where her mom is an ex-judge and her aunt is a federal magistrate judge � Kathleen contacted FBI agents there and gave them her laptop. Valle was arrested Wednesday. The cop, an avid Yankee fan, was suspended without pay. The federal complaint said he craved the taste of human flesh. �I love that she is asleep right now not having the slightest clue of what we have planned,� Valle allegedly wrote on July 9 to one of his conspirators about �Victim-1. �Her days are numbered. I�m glad you�re on board. She does look tasty, doesn�t she?� the alleged conspirator replied, gruesomely adding: �You do know if we don�t waste any of her there is nearly 75 pounds of food there.� Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara said Valle�s �alleged plans to kidnap women so that they could be raped, tortured, killed, cooked and cannibalized shock the conscience.� Valle is charged with conspiring to kidnap the women with three others � two overseas � and illegally accessing the National Crime Information Center database to research one target. Authorities said that on July 22, Valle contacted a woman he was discussing kidnapping and eating, and invited her to lunch at a restaurant. She accepted. He allegedly told his online pals he would disable victims with chloroform home-brewed from an Internet recipe. He also allegedly agreed to provide a woman to a conspirator planning to use her as a �sex slave,� said prosecutor Hadassa Waxman. Waxman told Manhattan federal court Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman that Valle stalked one woman while �in his uniform and his police car, in a very intimidating fashion.� In a Feb. 28 online chat, Valle allegedly described how excited he�d feel about abducting a woman whom he offered to sell to a co-conspirator for $5,000. �It�s going to be so hard to restrain myself when I knock her out, but I am aspiring to be a professional kidnapper, and that�s business,� Valle allegedly wrote. �But I will really get off on knocking her out, tying her hands and bare feet and gagging her." Pitman denied bail for a subdued Valle, clad in a T-shirt, after noting that the federal complaint described �profoundly disturbing� and �unspeakable conduct.� �I have never seen allegations similar to these in 16 years on the bench and five years as a prosecutor,� Pitman said. Valle�s dad, Gilberto Jr., said at his house, �I�m shocked. I don�t think this is possible. �He never mentioned cannibalism.� The officer attended Archbishop Molloy HS in Queens, where he played baseball with Mets player Mike Baxter, and graduated from the University of Maryland. He joined the NYPD six years ago, and was described as an average cop at his current assignment in Harlem�s 26th Precinct. In an OKCupid online dating profile, he described himself as �sociable, ambitious and a gentleman� and �mature beyond my years.�He wrote that his favorite book is Dr. Seuss� �Green Eggs and Ham� and that his favorite foods are �Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese.� �I�ll try anything and am not picky at all,� Valle, who listed �Food� as among the top six things he could never do without. Valle�s distraught brother Daniel said, �He�s a nice guy,� as he went to collect the cop�s treasured bulldog, Dudley. His lawyer, Julia Gatto, insisted the cop was just engaging in �idle talk� online., calling it �a fantasy.� Valle�s mom and his two brothers refused to comment after his bail hearing. Valle seemed to understand the chance he was taking with his threatening online chats. �This is very risky and will ruin my life if I get caught,� he allegedly wrote. �I am putting my neck on the line here. If something goes wrong somehow, I am in deep s--t.� Additional reporting by Gillian Kleiman, Kevin Sheehan, Pedro Oliveira Jr., Bruce Golding and Larry Celona http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/nypd_stew_women_cannibal_cop_plots_Lh3CnedXJxReJ9UGYf1vSJ/1
