One Idiocy Begets Another, Welcome to 2009

Still pondering whether or not this is a joke:



Mets new uni "patch" to commerate the mockery of the franchise...

Frighteningly similar to

Domino's Pizza logo.

Well, well. The Chimps in the Mets marketing department should be congratulated for their consistency. This is what a little less than a year after that idiotic theme song which turned out to be an Rick Astley internet hoax.

No one ever bothered to listen to my theme song.

But really, rubbish logo, rubbish songs, choking dog team, what a laughable combination.

But wait, it gets worse!

According to this reliable source, with the Braves so desperate, they've offered the 35 year old Derek Lowe a four year $60 million contract leaving the Mets to slop up the messes of the likes of Oliver Perez for another excruciating three year period.

Of course, nothing's official yet. Maybe it's all another internet hoax.

I know you are thrilled about this, Jaap. Our rotation actually kinda sucks. Santana, Pelfrey (who hasn't proven anything yet), Maine (who also has not proven anything yet), and Ollie Oop, who I am sure will bust his tail in the FIRST year of a contract. And if Omar lowballs him and he has to take it, you don't think he will sulk a bit, do you?

woa, jdon, breakin out the Moody Blues and it ent even Spring Training yet! Bravo. I'm taking special evening classes to control my gag reflex regarding the rotation. it could be worse though. Omar could have said he was quite happy assigning the closer role to Ayala permanently.

Ayala plans to pitch from the left side this year. Last year we needed a closer. This year we need another lefty setup guy.

Chooooooooooke

You could say at leasr they hadn't blown the season after a half inning like last year but you'd be lying to yourself. Last year was like ripping the bandage off. Yesterday was like getting a bone rebroken because it didn't heal right the first time. I could moan about Schoeneweis and Ayala giving up those consecutive homers in the 8th. But that would diminish the pathetic choke of managing only five runs against Marlin pitching in three games. You want to hang some bullseyes? Jose Reyes . after the September he had last season, 2 for 13 against the Marlins was disgraceful. Especially because he is the motor of the offense. When he chokes, the Mets have no offense. Maybe he shouldn't be getting 688 at-bats in a season. Maybe he needs rest more often. Something tells me he's got to go and now, whilst he's young and fast and popular. He'll be worth alot. Wright , .340 in September but 0 for 4 last night. Yes, 4 hits in this series. All fucking singl...

The Best Thing About Spring Training? No Room For Hope

I can't imagine people applying for season tickets to see the Mets this year. Not unless they're looking for a rerun of last season tragicomedy. I can't even imagine stumping up a few American dollars for the MLB.com dodgy video feeds this year. I mean I'll probably break down and do it but at this point, I still can't imagine it. It'll probably happen in a drunken stupor, waxing nostalgic about some sort of nihilistic wonder and inner delusion chancre. But we have to give the Mets credit. They did, in essence, nothing to make us think 2010 would be any better than 2009's nightmare. They got Jason Bay , true. But that was the bare minimum requirement. That and waving good riddance to Carlos Delgado . Replaced by the magical middle of the road nobodies, Dan Murphy and Mike Jacobs . Be still my bitter heart. That pair are hitting a combined 17 for 80 or an emblematic .212. Good thing it doesn't count. Yet. They signed no one else of any...
