WOW....

I'm not yet going to go Seawolf on Reyes but for fucks sake man get a grip.

The thing that gets me about holding back Rodriguez is that Manuel used him in non save games this season "because I'm committed to getting him more work".

You be the judge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3wi4-Sb1ZE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es7JQKrjwto Gotta love this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJDWYQ4Qf0A Hilarious.....this third one is priceless.

The naysayers here won't be best pleased at this carry-on from Francoeur , yes LWFS I'm looking at you. Seriously though, where would we be without him this early season?

Joel Pineiro reflects on New York Mets' lackluster and 'weird' offseason pursuit So Angels righthander Joel Pineiro threw a gem in the Bronx Wednesday, and the kicker, of course, is that it surely left Mets fans, not Yankees fans, feeling sick to their stomachs. Such is the state of baseball in New York these days. The Yankees simply tip their caps to Pineiro after Wednesday's 5-3 loss and likely make someone pay for it Thursday, while the floundering Mets already look foolish for refusing to sign a pitcher like him during the winter. Even if you had reservations, as I admittedly did, about what Pineiro might be without Cardinals pitching coach/miracle worker Dave Duncan, he was arguably the second-best free agent pitcher on the market after John Lackey. At the very least, Pineiro was obviously a much-needed upgrade for the Mets' staff. And baseball people whispered during the winter that he was GM Omar Minaya's No. 1 target among pitchers. So what happened? That's what Pineiro would like to know. It seems clearer than ever from hearing his version of events that Mets ownership simply wouldn't let Minaya spend the money it took - two years, $16 million - for the Angels to get a deal done. Pineiro said in November he considered the Mets to be "the front-runners" to sign him. Much of that feeling was based on what he was hearing from his friend and neighbor in Miami, Alex Cora, that the Mets had every intention of signing him. Considering that Cora has a strong relationship with Minaya, suffice to say it was solid information. "Alex was telling me (it was going to happen)," Pineiro said Wednesday. "I was like, 'all right, I'm just waiting for that good thing to happen, and I'm ready to go.' "But it never came." Pineiro indicated that the Mets stayed in contact with his agent throughout the winter, but didn't make any real move to sign him until the Angels got involved in mid-January. Even then all indications are the Mets knew their two-year, $15 million offer wasn't going to be enough, and at that point, it may well have been for the sake of appearance. "Is it that the Mets wouldn't go the extra mile?" I asked Pineiro. "Exactly," he said. "It was a business decision, I guess. They had their guys, already." They had their guys, all right. The Mets put the word out that they weren't going to overpay for pitchers that were no better than John Maine, Mike Pelfrey and Oliver Perez. How's that working out so far? Maine can't get anybody out and, meanwhile, here was Pineiro, dominating the Yankees over seven innings, striking out Alex Rodriguez three times along the way. He allowed one run on five hits, while racking up seven strikeouts and issuing not a single walk. In other words, his signature sinkerball apparently works nicely without Duncan, after all. Indeed, Pineiro said there was no magic to him going 15-12 with a 3.49 ERA last season, and after hearing all the Duncan talk during the winter, he is determined to prove it. "Dave Duncan got me to throw my sinker," Pineiro said. "To have faith, to trust it and not be afraid to throw it. But he didn't change my mechanics. He didn't change how I pitch. "That was the main thing I heard, 'he's a Duncan project,' but I have confidence in myself, knowing that I have this pitch now, and I could go out and make quality starts for whatever team I was with. I feel strong-minded about that." If anything, it seems Duncan restored the confidence Pineiro had as a young pitcher with the Mariners several years ago, when he was being touted as a rising star after going a combined 30-18 in 2002-03. Somehow he lost his way for a few years, lost command of his nasty sinker, but at age 31 he looks as if he could go a long way toward replacing the departed Lackey for the Angels. He's not an ace, but he'd sure fit nicely as behind Johan Santana in the Mets' rotation. Pineiro shrugged at the idea Wednesday. He said he's happy to be an Angel, but seems clear he thought he was going to be a Met. "I thank them for their interest," he said. "But it was just weird." The way things are going, weird surely wouldn't be the word Mets fans would choose. jharper@nydailynews.com Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/2010/04/15/2010-04-15_mets_weird_out_joel.html#ixzz0lAq00drT

GMJ will be first to go. Manuel all but dismissed him on the Wfan today admitting it was a mistake going with him.

I'm supposed to be mad about that right? Hold on while I gets angry.

Jerry on the radio saying that Maine gets another start but if he sees the same thing then serious dialoge will ensue to see what happens, " three is my thing, three is a number for everyone".

Meanwhile over in the Lubyanka building David Lennon in a secret chat today tossed Dillon Gee as a possible name for the rotation, gives May 15th as the over-under on Jerry., thinks Maine is headed for the DL and not the gulags as some would have it. Oh and this Ryan: With Jacobs and Smithtown's Own being such abject failures -- as expected -- any thoughts on bringing Carter up? I think he'll get a shot at some point, but let's be clear on this - he is a terrible defender, so I'm not sure where you plan on having him play. Doesn't think the Wilpons would rehire Bobby V, noting else great in there.

Makes walking him a real crime , while researching and going over the charts with my IGT coach for yesterdays game I happened upon this blog about at-bat music for Ryan Spilborgh. http://blogs.denverpost.com/rockies/2010/04/12/spilborghs-magical-mystery-music-question-solved-its-tainted-love/

For all that ails Maine don't miss your spots here John.

If Nick Evans knew that two people were arguing over him he'd be chuffed I'm sure.

WOW, just wow...

I'm sure if he can get healthy and in playing shape he will help a contending team for the last few months.

This blog is gold Also�and I�m sure this is rare among sports fans�I feel silly cheering when they tell you to. Like when they flash �Let�s Go Mets� onscreen? It makes me feel like Pavlov�s dog�like a sunburned, $7.75 Bud Light-drinking dog, being fucked in the ass by ALBA BOTANICA SUNSCREEN and KOZY SHACK, THE OFFICIAL PUDDING OF THE NEW YORK METS! But I like the game, I swear.

I never before used the "Stat Tracker" thing , it's a great way to see real time scores for your team and league, especially when the mets are sucking.

Maine and Perez have suffered from not being under the tutelage of Peterson.
