Wednesday Applesauce
Our internet was out at work for a while this morning and I've got tons to do here, but here's a quick hits version of applesauce for today:
John Maine is hurt.
Oliver Perez is suddenly dependable.
Ryan Church is getting close.
Pedro Martinez wants Manny Ramirez (high road, people).
Mike Pelfrey keeps on rollin'.
SB Nation reacts to the Mark Teixeira trade: Beyond the Boxscore thinks it was a bad move for the Angels. Halos Heaven is on the fence. Talking Chop wanted more, but likes Casey Kotchman's upside.
Oh, and Mike Silva at Dugout Central thinks the Mets should sign Carl Everett from the Long Island Ducks, even though Everett doesn't believe that dinosaurs ever existed because they weren't in the Bible.

Stupidity
And 51% of Americans also believe that drilling for oil is a good thing. So, stupidity is rampant. But, Carl Everett, I still say no. Never liked him and his loopy swing.
Can we have Jeff Keppinger back?
The 2008 NY Mets: Reyes singles. Castillo infield single. Wright walks. Beltran lines out. ZaBlanc bitches. Delgado strikes out. Reyes picked off third. Fans boo. Padres win 2-1.

He also believed the moon landing was faked
Although that’s probably a more acceptable crazy notion to have.
'Catsmeat!' he cried. 'I see it all. It was that chump, Catsmeat.'

everyone knows that all fossilized dinosaur bones prove is the presence of very ancient natural history museums.

huh
I had no idea that that’s where Crazy Carl was plying his trade these days. I guess that’s where loonies go to end their baseball careers.
Regarding Keppinger, after his very hot start his performance has come back to earth, OPS+ of 82 for the season. 3 HR in 267 AB. That’s exactly as many HR as Castillo has hit so far this season (though obviously he’s hurt), or Easley. Small sample size, of course, but Argenis Reyes has a better OPS+ thus far, as does Castillo if he ever comes back, and Easley’s (80) is comparable. Plus Keppinger has been pretty bad in the field this year. He really wouldn’t help us any.

He can work on it.
Nice bat. Young. I didn’t mean to refer to him as a trade pick up, I just want him. ;-) Our 2B has been a mess the last 3 years.

Not sure that it has been a mess for 3 years
The Mets got great production out of Valentin in 2006, and servicable production from a cast charecters the past couple of years.

yes
Trying to sort out the “mess” of replacement-level (or better) production from a rotating cast of cheap replacement players was what led to Castillo’s fucktardiculous four-year contract. The mess was by far a preferable situation, even if it meant seeing a new second baseman every other night.

Not really. He’s 28 so he’s basically as good right now as he can reasonably be expected to be.

I don't believe that Carl Everett is still alive and playing
Where’s the evidence? There never was any Carl Everett, it was all a lie by the Devil to deceive us into believing.
