Can we fire up this fucking thing soon, get everyone's minds off this Reyes fiasco please? Throw me a friggin bone here.

I'm too sad to be mad.

My eternal memory of Reyes will be him lacing a ball into the gap, knowing that he was going to get to third, and still watching him at the edge of my seat to see him slide in, clap his hands, brush the dirt off his jersey, and grin that grin. Fucking hell, I'm depressed.

Watch Omar now, working in the SD front office, he loves the Latino players so much, he'll probably change the team name to some Spanish word or something.

I swung my giant dildo at a coworker today. This shit happens, what's all the hullaballoo?

Yeah I did. So these guys doped up in the 1990s. Guys in the 1950s got their edge from amphetamines. And Ty Cobb was totally fueled by Negro-hate juice. They were all ballers though.

Fboy and I saw him hit a two run double at this game, in what ended up being the difference in a 3-2 victory over St. Louis. Notable for being our first trip to Citi Field, and my first meeting of themetfairy and G-Fafif as well. More notable by the fact that it was the same day as Michael Jackson's death, which for some ungodly reason took precedence over a Mets victory.

There's only one recent Met I care to not see in Philly next year, and it sure the hell ain't Pat Misch, his Mischiness notwithstanding.

Chass regularly obsesses on Valentine's not finishing first, ignores that his teams always improve when he arrives and did make the playoffs in consecutive years (never mind the championship in Japan). With five teams in each league's playoffs now, I like how he says there's a "greater emphasis on finishing first." The greater emphasis is going to be on getting one of those playoff spots, I would think, and if you can finish first, all the better. But either way, the Braves passing the Mets in 1999 and 2000 is not the sole predictor of success for the Red Sox not having to face a one-game elimination round in 2012. As Gwreck noted, Noble, who spent a lot more time around the manager than Chass did, was not a fan of Valentine's, though when he explained it to our little group in 2010, he was specific in his criticisms and sounded eminently reasonable about it. But at no point did Noble question Valentine's baseball acumen. "Bobby's boys" might carry water for Valentine. His detractors might shoot down his candidacy. But Chass seems in this for the grudge and the slights, perceived, imagined or genuine. And since when is it a manager's job to make sure other teams like him? This may or may not have anything to do with anything, but the Terry Collins we got in 2011 seemed worlds removed from the Terry Collins we heard about from Anaheim circa 1999. Some people (particularly those looking to get back to the top of their profession) take stock and evolve as necessary. I get the impression that's what Collins did. I have no idea if that applies to Valentine, but for someone who transformed three different franchises on two different continents, I wouldn't put any learning past him. So what you're saying is, Chass is a wanker, right? It's OK, you can say it.

These two are the kings of the soup kitchen.

Thirty IL games per year? Kill me.

Whores are awesome. Give them all TV shows as long as we see them, ahem, working.

You know what would be a fun bag? A tied gunny sack, with her in it, tossed over the side of a ship. (She's still one hot idiot.)

I love the sudden death/2nd wild card proposal. Make the division championships count for something more than the wild card. I hate the Astros move because I hate interleague. And you can't get rid of interleague with two 15 team leagues.
