Mets would do anything for a New Year’s Eve date.
John Harper can’t think of anyone but the Mets to even come close and are probably bidding against themselves with their 4-year offer. Now that Seattle is solidifying it’s fan-appeal rating (FAR) by taking a pass on the dangerously quiet, blatantly professional, and improperly local kid Bay, Harper seems to be right – it’s no one but the Mets and probably was never anyone but the Mets. The Sox went a little cheaper in the outfield. The Yanks have their new outfielder in Curtis Granderson. The Cardinals and Orioles are skirmishing over Matt Holliday. And a whole host of mid- to lower-tier outfielders have been traded or signed in a flurry.
So how would Jose Reyes (suddenly a slim, quick, and wiry leadoff hitter again), Luis Castillo, David Wright (no WBC!), Jason Bay, Carlos Beltran, Jeff Francoeur (Santa Claus should be back in ’10, no?), and company pan out? Regardless of what the payroll would look like, that lineup instantly becomes a winner in any stadium. Jose heads into his $11M 2011 team option, Castillo heads into “twilight” free agency, and Beltran will be in his year-before-walk-year year – meanwhile Wright looks to get back on his horse and Bay will want to make some friends. They would still need help in the rotation but the fans would come to the park for the lineup alone.
break hip, hahaha
vazquez braves, hahah
shit show, Hahaha
Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the Citi,
Plans were being made
So the team wouldn’t be sh!tty.
Season ticket sales stink,
Do the fans even care?,
Or do they just know,
That the ring won’t be there?
After heartache in 09
And a year on the Meds,
Visions of Jose limping
Now dance in their heads
As the front office prays for a salary cap
The Yankees make moves
While the Mets?
They just nap
But Wait in St Lucie,
What was that flash?
Could it be Happy Jose
Making a dash?
And Carlos his knee
Soon will it heal?
Perhaps he won’t run like he’s
Avoiding a peel.
And David has promised
His ball will take flight
to give the fans joy
And not last year’s fright.
Soon Jason may enter
joined by Molina
By way of Laguardia
And Flushing Marina
Let’s hope Johan’s elbow
Is Doing just fine.
Let’s hope Ben Sheets joins him
to keep Pelf and Ollie in line.
Now, Luis!, Now, Omir!
Now, Alex and the Butcher!
On, Maine! On Frankie!
On, Pagan and Jeff Francoeur!
If Jerry can just
Stay out of their way
Maybe next year
They’ll show up and play.
So, don’t give up yet
All Met fans out there.
A good year may be coming
And you might keep your hair.
Forgot about the kid you told me about in the Braves system, Levi. Forgot about Diaz too.
GREAT “Twas the Night…”
Thanks J- I know the Giants won to stay alive but I’m just trying to give Kev something to keep him from going off the Verrazano.
I think the Braves are expecting big things from Heyward.
Chipper is going to translate Melky into hillbilly speak.
Melky showed a lot of maturity this year. Tough to see him go. Only 25 too. Check out the sponsor on his page-

Coming up after the break in Ct, twas the night before christmas at Citi Field
hillbilly speak…hahahahahahahahha. Its damn tough to see Melky go. I thought he was gonna be their 2 hitter at some point and put up some very good #s.
Great stuff, Lev, top notch.
Hey J, yesterday you drove Kev out to the 3rd rail, and now your his guardian angel.
Were you visited by 3 ghosts last night ?
anybody call
Omar/Mets are very AT&T.
Braves out there saying looking at Damon more than Bay. So does that mean Press Conference Wed for Braves announcing Bay deal? What would they say, we are liking Bay and lets get into bidding war with mets.
Need Dee Snyder outside Omars office. Desperate times!
WTF is omar doing?
Smoken a Winston.
Are you fucken kidden me or what?
According to the Associated Press, the Mets are close to signing free-agent RHP R.A Dickey to a minor league deal.
The 35-year-old knuckleballer was 1-1 with a 4.62 ERA in one start and 34 relief appearances for the Mariners last season.
just another piece in Omar’s plan Kev.
“we’re not going to take it” ahahaha.
Decent projections for Vazquez, for what thats worth. I assume they were based on pitching in the NL East and 5 starts against the mets could skew the era…

Ken Rosenthal reported that the Yanks and Braves are out of the Holliday sweepstakes.
I’ll believe it when I crap a Faberge egg.

Kevin—Dickey will be unhittable at Citifield. The wind currents from the 747′s, times the hypotenuse squared, minus 2b, will cause his knuckler to flutter like a Monarch Butterfly. Omar will sign Kevin Cash to catch him.
apologize if that article was posted yesterday, didnt look at old posts
Omar holding up a Dickey jersey at an R.A. press conference would make me feel a little better.
Laughter is the best medicine.
omar’s holding his own dickey right now! jeff next to him doing same.
Louie..I love that Price is right thing.
Damon hit 17 of his 24 HRs at Yankee Stadium last year ?
Who would have guessed ?
Kev, there’s a 10 minute version on You Tube.
I did the math, and it comes out to roughly over 100 times, dead air included.
I’m rootin’ for the Mets fans ( okay you BBT guys and a handful of others ).
Louie..Omar bidding on FA’s…
I shouldn’t be making fun with someone on the cusp of dementia as I did in the previous clip.
Who am I kidding, sure I should,
Have some more.
Omar looken for Bay…
Has LB made an appearance after a big trade? Didnt he say Mama was an any dayer?
On opening day, Cashman will have turned over 1/3 of his 09 opening day lineup.
A few days ago I asked what the Yankees could have gotten for Gardner and Miranda, I guess not as much as for Melky and Dunn + a guy ranked pretty high in the MILB system?
A little help.
Can somebody burn this, I have a feeling it’s going to be yanked soon, and I’d like to keep a copy.
Thanks.

Too bad JJ Putz left town because the Dickey signing, allows the Mets to go after Wang and they would have had the market cornered.
Aaron Small standing the left of Wang was always a good one.
Here’s a pub shot of Johnny Damon bulking up for a possible career in MMA.

Dear Leader-ahahahahahahahahahahhahaha
Get a load of this horseshit. Cant make it up if I tried.
The Mets have extended the deadline for season-ticket renewals from mid-December to December 31.
WTF is omar doing??
Less then us.
extended the deadline-ahahahahahahahahahaha
