What, did the horse racing gig not work out, Paulie?

Baseball wise, you're probably right

But I really, really dislike LoDuca on a personal level. Shouldn’t matter I realise, but he irritates me beyond belief.

Hmm . . .

Paul LoDuca/Omir Santos platoon? Is that too much grission for one position to handle?

Champtionships

the number one issue facing the Mets is finding that one guy who’s going to say "get on my shoulders and ride me to the championship."

Lo Duca's gritty right?

I’d give him 30 million over 3 years. We could get on his shoulders and ride him to a championship.

Champtionship, here we come!

Hmm...

So, a player in his late 30s, who has, over the years, been plagued with injuries that have kept him out of the game for significant periods of time as of late wants to return, citing that he’s “completely healthy”, and that his “heart’s into it” because he "feel[s] like [he] still [has] a lot to offer." Where have we heard that before…

As much as I don’t like Lo Duca that much, he probably wouldn’t be all that bad of a fit. I mean, can he be much worse than Santos? He’d be a cheap, low-risk/high-reward gamble, anyway. And, if there’s one thing Paul Lo Duca likes, it’s gambling. My mom also accidentally bought a Lo Duca T-shirt two seasons ago, and I want her to be able to wear it again, so why not?

Paulie

Theres a club in my town, rule is 25+ older for males, 18+ for females. That might be more up your alley.

Wow

is that even legal?

by deadspy3 on Nov 20, 2009 9:59 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Rules like that are in place to protect the women

as the 18-24 year old men are ‘immature’ and dangerous. Personally, I’d be more worried about the 25+ male looking for an 18 year old ala Paulie BigNuts.

At first glance that sounds creepy

But I imagine all someone would have to do is spend 15 minutes in a student section at a college football game to understand why it makes perfect sense.

The scary thing is that Paulie>Molina

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.
