That's hilarious

I kinda like this “underdog”/“laughingstock” billing. It’s like five years ago, only now we might be very good. We could take a lot of people by surprise this year.

It's weird

Nothing PETA does can surprise me. Those guys are like an Onion article come to life.

Now excuse me while I go scale and fillet this land fish.

Moreover,

as my brother likes to note, cats are jerks. I don’t see this fact helping PETA’s campaign.

This won't help PETA's campaign, either

They’re actually asking Palm Beach Atlantic University (all together now: who?) to change the name of their mascot from the Sailfish to the Sea Kitten. I wonder what it’s like working for PETA, knowing that your job entirely consists of engaging in ridiculous PR ploys that are destined to fail.

Probably similar to working for DHS

or any other government entity.

We are having a terribly good laugh at this one. Perhaps too good of a laugh. :-)

Maybe.

I can’t say for sure, but I do eat in Chinatown a lot.

You haven't eaten until you've eaten in

Olongapo City, Philippines. Back in ‘92 I’m pretty sure I had some skewered portions of a four legged creature covered in BBQ sauce. “Mealy”, that’s how I’d describe it. “Mealy.”

i’ve been trying to ignore this but its just gotten embarassing. if omar can admit that signing luis castillo was a mistake, management can swallow its pride and put something less humiliating together.

Come to think of it . . .

If any good has come of this danged patch situation, it is that I’ve gotten to see Judge Roscoe B. Bananas’ face every time I’ve logged onto AA this afternoon. He’s interested in monkey justice!

Eric

I’m overwhelmed with joy that you gave the patch issue more attention. I’ve got this Philly fan (s.o.b.) sitting in front of me at work and I’ve had to hear about it every day since its release. (Thank goodness the guy is getting transferred to Hawaii.)

At it’s core, the patch is EMBARRASSING. There is no better word to describe it. It is emblematic of what is wrong with the Mets. The Mets as an organization and a team have the POTENTIAL to be great and shut every naysayer up, but they rarely take advantage of it. They constantly stumble. One step forward, two steps back.

The Wilpon’s – They own a baseball team. It is a business of theirs. How are they not embarrassed every time they see this? How does this lack of effort show the pride they have for their business? People don’t see David Wright, Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, Johan Santana or even Mr. Met as the face of the franchise. They see this damn patch!

Somebody…Get rid of it please!

Jeez.

Why can’t I get transferred to Hawaii?

Omar's off-season contract strategy.  (Get it?)
(Yes, I'm having too much fun with GraphJam)
I'm doing a little study on the NL East and thought I'd share an interesting little tidbit.  To all of the self-loathing Mets fans/lazy 'MLB insiders' and journalistic parrots who have 1) Condemned the entire Mets organization as a joke 2) Written off this core's impressive run to date and 3) Deified the Phillies as unstoppable juggernauts w/ no chance to lose this division:

Yes, those wins are weighted towards '06-'07 and yes, the Phillies' are more recent but the fact remains that no other team in that span can even come close to the Mets total of days in first place, which should be garnering a lot more respect than it has.  If only because we still have nearly the same core in place that has clearly had a lot of success and health-willing can very easily do so again in 2010.
