Francoeur Avoids Arbitration, Formidable Lineup in Place

Congrats on your $5M payday, Frankie.  Mets also retained rubber-armed lefty-four-outs-two-runs-only-guy (RA-LE-FO-TROGY) Pedro Feliciano, who is all but guaranteed to set a new club record this year.  Also retained was Sean Green, RI-FO-TROGY.

Seriously, the return of a strong Carlos Beltran – and he will return strong – will trigger the onslaught of one of the premier slugging outfields in the national league and what could become one of the most potent lineups in baseball, assuming the Mets keep four or five of the six primaries healthy over most of the year.  Considering last year’s steps back, that’s not too much to expect.  As much as the league, the fans, and all known life in the universe wants to pee on Mr. Met’s shallow grave, I would not discount this lineup for a moment:

1 Reyes 2 Castillo 3 Wright 4 Bay 5 Beltran 6 Francoeur 7 The Butcher 8 The Catcher 9 The Pitcher

Considering the Butcher hit third last year, the Mets enter 2010 on the ground floor at least.

  5. ‘Purple and Gold’

    the veil of the sky draws open
    the roar of the chariots touch down
    we r the ones who have now come again
    and walk upon water like solid ground
    as we approach the throne we won’t bow down
    this time we won’t b denied

    raise every voice and let it b known
    in the name of the purple and gold

    we come in the name of the purple and gold
    all of the odds r in r favor
    no prediction 2 bold
    we r the truth if the truth can b told
    long reign the purple and gold

    the eyes say ready 4 battle
    no need 4 sword in hand
    we r all amped up like a rock n roll band
    ready 2 celebrate every score
    ready 2 fight the elegant war
    ready 2 hear the crowd roar

    that’s what we came 4
    and so much more
    in the name of the purple and gold

    r spirits may b tired
    r bodies may b worn
    but since this day is r destiny
    r history – that’s y we must b
    4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings’ horn
    in the name of the purple and gold

  6. No, I just like it better enjoying a late night Saturday and knowing I’ve got Sunday to do nothing.

    I wish the Super Bowl was on Saturday also.

    Sorry I can’t join in the music, I’m downloading some as we speak.
