    I think New Jersey tabloids and I think The Trentonian.

    Granted, I just came came back from my company Xmas party and had some wine but a conversation with a Met fan co-worker there made it all so obvious: * The bloody nose * The missing am practice * The clubbing * The A-list model girlies, one after another * The jacked-up bullshit in Game 6. Hovvey is a coke fiend. Yes? No? Why have we overlooked this? While we're piling circumstantial evidence upon circumstantial evidence: the proudly downtown lifestyle, the Matthew Perry-like he's fat/he's thin/he's fat/he's thin physique changes, the insistence on rehabbing in the city, and the possibly paranoiac public feuding with the team.

    Dude went 9-1 after being dealt to Toronto. That's what you hope for after a midseason trade � somewhere in the company of Randy Johnson 1998 and Rick Sutcliffe 1984. You WANT to hit the free agent market after a stretch run like that.

    There's almost nothing else good about that one. The composition of the layout is off, the pun is lousy, and the shot itself is in bad focus, but it gets my top vote too. FUN factor!
  7. Edgy MD
    Yeah, turning that down seemed nuts. Until just now, it did.

    Kinda goofy if they tender a deal to Mejia but not to Tejada.

    Camus collides with MacBeth, or something.

    Calls for a re-watch. In about 100 scenes, but perhaps zero (or close to zero) lines.

    Didn't Uribe use a MA song as his walkup music? Potential client!

    Man, what a case. The Mets were dead right on his redemptability but dead wrong about their capacity to be the agents of redemption.

    I wouldn't expect the Mets to crow about their payroll.

    BOOMTOWN, APPLEJACKS, NOAH DOUBT

    The latter is probably more likely, but the former sure is a tempting thought. One thing was clear from the Can�/Jay Z thing: that a big shot wanting to get into the agency racket has a ton of pressure to hit a homer his first time out. And with the Yankees pledging to back off of free agency, that's going to be a tough bar to reach. Maybe it's good for him that his first big fish is a year out from free agency.

    Salsa/pop supastar, supporting player in Big Night, and MLBS Marc Anthony is entering the agency game, and his first client is Aroldis Chapman.
  18. Edgy MD
    Yeah, she's alright. So engaged. All about the Rube. "PAIN IN THE BORAS"? Come on. Even as puns go, that's barely trying. Who in the world pronounces Boras' name as Bor-ASS?

    Or a tasty lunchtime treat.

It's worth noting that it took the Mets two months to start adding players last season though, even though their needs appeared earlier, as the trade market hadn't yet developed.

    Add them to the thread. I want DOCUMENTATION!

    I'm all there too. The Mets were so cool to the marketplace for middle infielders the last two years, so why is the oldest option in the third year suddenly a must-have, now that they may have Flores established and Herrera on the verge? Do they think Tejada's injury is debilitating? And even if they do, they're targeting a bad shortstop option. So it's Flores back to short and Z at second with Herrera standing by. I find that somewhat less-than-ideal, but it does allow them to pivot as injuries develop.

    It's a coupla months old, but I just stumbled upon this FanGraphs article, which suggests that a big part of the success for the Mets pitching staff is that they're throwing a pitch not readily available to pitchers on other teams, a slider with a little less concern for break and a little more for power, tight spin, and location. �Dan Warthen helped me out with the grip during Spring Training. I threw it last year, but I didn�t really know how to throw a slider.� � Matt Harvey, 2012 �When I came here in September last year, Dan Warthen showed me how to throw a slider,� said a beaming Mejia, back in a major league clubhouse. �Then I threw it in winter ball. And now I throw it perfect.� � Jenrry Mejia, 2013 �[it has] small, quick, movement at the end. ... [i have] more command of it. ... [You throw it like a fastball, and] at the last point you just flick your fingers a little.� � Jeurys Famila, 2015 �I played with it a little bit to pick up the RPMs on my curveball.� � Noah Syndergaard, non-user, 2015 Jacob deGrom, before and after.

    I know it's half-stupid to think as such, but it's like the Mets just got better. They should thank the Tigers by signing Mike Napoli or somebody.

    That's the one. Bad turn for Wheeler, but it was Lyon who really got spanked.
