Mattingly Applesauce - Met prospect Allen impresses, Mattingly not a match in DC, Padilla injured in gun accident

I guess you’re not so much on the mark, Teixeira.

[we’ll take him]

Imagine if he hit into a double play or something like that in a big spot. That would really be like the unclutchiest thing ever.

I thought the idiots at the Post and the News thought Teixeira was a shoe-in for the AL MVP

would make up for so many bad trades

The Phillies clubhouse hates Hamels too. Brett Myers apparently took it up to his face. Hamels probably cried a little in his corner, then declared he would pitch in game 7.

Just like that New Era cap commercial, someone should ask Hamels “Who are you?” in the same context as “Who do you think YOU are!?”

Hamels is known for drinking out in bars and getting into fights. He is clearly a glutton for punishment. Eventually, he’s going to get his ribs broken.

Oh god, I can see it now!

Mets acquire Hamels, who turns out to be the other New York team’s Carl Pavano.

I’m getting way too ahead of myself, but maybe for a reason. Could Hamels realistically handle New York? His track record indicates “no”. An ERA of 4.70 does not help either! “BOO!” goes all around. Then Hamels makes like Bartolo Colon and goes missing for an unspecified period of time. Check your milk cartons.

I see the potential for EPIC FAIL. Should player personality factor into free agency? Yes. But how much? Now that’s the REAL question.\

Conclusion – trade Hamels to San Diego. He’ll literally feel right at home. Oh, and don’t forget your wittle blankie, Cole.

but why would Omar do it when we have such an awesome 2b. Don’t you remember when he scrapped and hustled his way to a 30 game hitting streak 900 years ago?

Takahashi was boring. We have a tradition to carry on involving wacky Asian baseball players.

Of course, I don’t know how to drive. Frankly, the whole thing is even stupider than bashing Reyes for dancing, or Beltran for not pitching a no-hitter 3x a week.
