Fuckin' A!

I think Sandy Alderson's role had been, in a large part, cleaning up that fraud.

They will for the Series, though.

Natch.

Feliciano's next big league dinger will be his first. Doomed in the future, I think, to be conflated with Jason Pridie. "Hey, your credit card says 'Jes�s Feliciano.' I know that name." "Yeah, I used to play with the Mets." "Right, back around 2010. You're the one with the really hot wife." "No, that was the other g... OW! C'mon, Honey, you know who he means."

Fausto Carmona is actually Roberto Hernandez Heredia. I guess I should come clean before I'm busted. My real name is Smokey Casanova.

Jemir Santiciano.

When Jeff Francoeur was traded, rather than freeing up time for Jes�s, he was sent down and Lucas Duda called up (to bat .112 or something). It gave Jes�s a chance to get enough at-bats to defend his AAA batting title, but the bat had cooled off.

Batting average crashed at the end of the year and he ended up missing out on the batting average title by two points, .341 to .339. Congratulations to Gwinnett's Barbaro Canizares. I bet he sat out the last day and claimed he did it for the fans.

Backup centerfielder for half of 2010, but spent all of 2011 with Buffalo. Signed away by the Rays. His foot was born in the bucket, and it never traveled far from it's native region.

Our 2011 thread can be found here. AfterMets, it can be found in our archives among threads started in May 2011. Opening our 2012 thread is the offspring not of a Met, but of a Met nemesis. Meet young Shannon Magrane, daughter of Joe. Joe once led the National League in ERA and made Craig Swann look like a hoss in doing it, winning only five games as he pitched 165 innings, just over the title-qualifying minimum. I expect Shannon to similarly sweep to victory by efficiently and effectively doing as little as possible. I don't know how folks watch this stuff. I got the skeezes and turned it off when Steven Tyler said "Wow...." xlFrDV43UJ0

Beyond the park advantage, the Phils' offense has the advantage of batting against the Mets' pitching staff, while the Mets' hitters choke up against the Phils' pitchers for 18 games. The Mets' offense has the advantage of being awesome.

Ugh.
