I dunno. I just watched it again and liked it a lot. Not a single character didn't feel authentic. Loved how much Cop Dad looked like Randolph Mantooth with some Kent McCord on the side.

G-Fafif quoting Terry Collins wrote: "Now, as far as the possible trade, there's not a guy in that clubhouse who can't get traded. " "Hi, I'm Jason Bay! You may remember me from such movies as... Omar's Folly and... The Guy Who Couldn't Get Traded!"

Great to have a nu batboy.

I may be wrong, but I think we've had Brooklyn Dave back at the MOFo. "Cheap" isn't really the way it is. If I remember BD correctly, he played that song a lot, but the owners spent themselves into a corner. Foolish, uncreative, shortsighted, too loyal to MLB, too stupid with Madoff, too in bed with Madoff, unappreciative of the asset the team is, dishonest with the fans, dishonest with themselves. --- these are all much fairer criticisms. Now they're forced to be cheap, but getting stupid in combating that label is arguably what got them in this mess.

My vision of the remaining lineups of the season being Bayless got off to a good start.

Worth mentioning that Olerud was never linked to bullshit of this sort before he became number 18 for the Yankees.

It'd be pretty interesting if there was a belief in the Mets front office that Davis's glacial start was tied to some egregious party foul, or seriies of. "... sources say Davis had no idea she was Baxter's sister."

I hacked Davis's account to find pictures of him partying away from the ballpark, and frankly, I'm stunned. Fucking deviant.

As far as I can see, the six-man thingie appears to be working, except maybe we should trade one of those six men for a leftfielder who can hit .200 or so.

Purely speculation but I'd guess there's probably about 26 teams interested in Davis and maybe twenty fewer in Duda.

Well, I'm marking this in my book as Jason Bay's last ever start for the Mets.

What's with the first-pitch swinging? Fuck, fire everybody. Fire me, for God's sake.

Pbbbttt.

OK, Murphy. Make a story here.

Torres, you're down by two in the seventh inning. What the heck are you swinging at the first pitch for?

Booishness.

Support your local knuckler!

Maybe Jason Bay will make a useful defensive replacement. For Las Vegas.

I think in 1978, then-Cub Dave Kingman hit more homers at Shea than any Met. Or at least he was leading for much of the year.

Those sweeps of Baltimore and Tampa Bay may have giftwrapped post-season life for the 2012 Yankees.

I want that Boston sports jock to call Sandy to ask him if he's checked out.

To eat like popcorn while he was working!

Josh Satin and his hirstute eyebrows has gotten all of one trip to the plate for the Metties in 2012, but the virtue of his briss and his bar mitzvah qualify him for Israeli citizenship or to join the Israeli national baseball squad.Jeff Kaplan was born in Dana Point, California. But the blood of Samson flows in his veins as demostrated by his 5-0, 3.50 season in relief for St. Lucie and Binghamton. And the spirit of Judas Maccabee animates him as he, too, takes the field for Israel.Kai Gronauer has a less eliptical birthright for competition. He may have gotten as far as his talent will take him in affiliated ball, putting up Nickeasean numbers between high A and AA, but that won't stop the Solingen, Germany native from lacing 'em up for German glory.Injuries and limited effectiveness kept outfielder Adam Loewen from earning a callup to Flushing this season, but the Vancouverian will be making an interesting return to Team Canada, having thrown 3 2/3 scoreless against the US back in 2006 before his left arm started betraying him.Hamilton Bennett may hail from Tega Cay, South Carolina, but just sounds like a Pride & Prejudice character. His 7-2, 2.55 season in the St. Lucie bullpen may merely be Florida State League numbers, but those and his priggish name are good enough to get him an invite to take the mound for the UK.Five years removed from his last big league appearance, being one of the most productive Jewish players in history still gets Shawn Green an invite to be the senior member of Team Israel.Emmanuel Garcia climbed the ladder of the Mets system, switching from infield to outfield, but still hitting like an infielder. That ended his career in Buffalo in 2010, but the Quebec native rejoins his Canadian teammates, with whom he battled for supremacy in Beijing, back before the Olympic committee tossed baseball on the historical scrapheap.Injuries and the bottleneck behind David Wright slowed defensive specialist third baseman Shawn Bowman as he climbed through the Mets' system. After getting passed by Zach Lutz the Mets left him exposed on waivers following the 2010 season, from which he was claimed by Toronto, a Canadian homecoming for the British Columbian. He suited up for Canada in the 2009 classic but saw no action.Minor league homerun champ Mike Cevernak played with Buffalo in 2010, where he went head-to-head with wallbanging rivals Mike Hessman, Val Pascucci, and Mike Jacobs. His 192 minor league homers and his last name earn him an invite to help the Czech Republic in their qualifying effort, despite his Michigan birthrite. Being 36 with a mere 13 big league plate appearances on his record, how could he say no?
