Struggling Mets Combine To Form Carlos Voltron

Anything to get our minds off of the prepoculosity of this teetering season.

"After losing eight of our last 12 games, forming Carlos Voltron is our only hope to save our playoff chances," Manuel said. "We really need power this late in the season, and the 2.5 million pounds of thrust in Voltron's solid-fuel boosters should give us the lift we need."

It's still not clutch.

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

Typical Jerry move

“Meanwhile, defending a comfortable 600-0 lead in the top of ninth, the Mets decided to rest up Carlos Voltron by moving him to the outfield and replacing him with reliever Aaron Heilman, who lost the lead and eventually the game after giving up 618 runs to close the inning.”

When will he learn you can trust the guy?

Credit where it's due

CPP posted a link in last night’s depression thread. Though, in my defense, prior to seeing his link I did read the article on my iPhone while in the can at work this morning.

I have no iPhone

I’m deprived of the “internet in the can” experience.
