Man, Haven't Done One Of These In A While

Maybe now that I'm unemployed, I'll have more time for sabermetrics. Or not, whatever.

Just a day away from Mets pitchers and catchers reporting. Finding it hard to get excited for the team this year. Even with the addition of Jason Bay, it looks like approximately an 84-win team. And that assumes that Reyes, Beltran et al will come back and be healthy for most/all of the year. Honestly, I'd bet the under.

Epic Fail

Jesus, can't the Mets do anything right? I mean, this entire season has been a double serving of fail. But the one remaining major league-caliber position player on the team gets beaned in the head, and you can't even retaliate properly? FAIL.

Santana, your heart was in the right place, you just couldn't get it done. Just like the Mets always can't get it done.

God, this reminds me of another time a team spectacularly failed to protect their star player after a concussive beaning. Thankfully the Mets don't have any shameful incidents like that in their past, the memory of which I would have to kill with cheap bourbon. Yes, thank God that never happened.

PS -- Matt Cain, I'm sure it was an accident. But tipping your hat to the crowd afterward was not.

Fuck You, Omar Minaya

Are you shitting me? For real? You go to hell. You go to hell and you die!

Rageohol

Today I am filled with rageohol. It's like alcohol, except your body produces it naturally.

Not Baseball, But Awesome

I could watch this clip every day and twice on Sundays.

Also, congratulations to the Rays on making the world series. Your continued existence depends on how quickly you are able to eviscerate the Phillies. That is all.
