Also known as the Yankees 2009 Plan

I like it

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09

But where's the grission?

Ya gotta have grission…

Oh, the butcher and the baker and the people on the street: wheredotheygo?!?!?

we'll just spray their jerseys down with dirt before each game

although we’d have to be careful not to get caught using GES (grission enhancing substances). Although i suppose suspensions are gritty too…

Like getting splashed in the face with a beer by a Cubs fan?

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

again, a fan was nice enough to donate his beer to victorino because he thought he looked thirsty

if victorino really deserved that gold glove he would have caught it and then had a nice beverage to enjoy as he played. Instead he got all pissed off at the kind gesture.. .what a jerk.

Light beer makes real men angry. Victorino angry.

but by that you suggest Victorino is a real man

and not a whiny little girl disguised as a baseball player

If we had all these guys we'd still lose

They would trust each other too much to do well, then they’d slack off.

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

They'd be so good, they'd get bored, sometimes...

the cahmpagne would be too sweet

and they wouldn’t win after clinching the division because of it

And then, of course, there is also Dock Ellis...

hmm, as a purely frivolous excercise...

what do you think omar would have to offer the cards to get pujols? what would make the cards go, “absolutely nahhhh… well, fuck. hang on a second.”

by letsgocyclones on Nov 19, 2009 1:46 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Nothing, I don't think.

I mean, you know how David Wright is untouchable in our organization (with the exception of the “break up the core, David Right isn’t clutch” people)…Pujols is that, but so, so, so much better.

But, then again, the Rangers traded A-Rod for Soriano and Árias, so maybe a package for Pujols wouldn’t be all that mind-boggling. A-Rod isn’t, dare I say, in Pujols’ league, though, so…

It would take

the rights to the Buffalo Bisons AND Binghamton Mets, plus Wright, Beltran and K-Rod.

Heh, I was thinking that too; it'd take the rights to the entire New York Mets franchise.

But, then I thought: Do the Cardinals really want the Mets right now?

I would say then when he was still at short-stop

He was on Pujol’s level, and not only did they trade him they still payed part of his contract.

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.
