What he [Jerry Manuel] is looking for is offense, and Francoeur, two and a half years removed from blasting a career-high 29 home runs, should help out.

Ben Sphigel of the New York Times, what the heck are you talking about?

If that's really our reasoning

why the hell don’t we just sign Barry Bonds? He hit 28 homers in ’07, and unlike Francouer he could probably STILL get on base at a .380 clip, minimum.

Let alone a .280 clip

You're an idiot, Sphigel.

Hopefully Manuel will just ask Francour to bunt constantly

Nothing can get by him; especially in a small room: Mike Francessa

I think some of these guys are right

I bet Francoeur goes all Raul Ibanez on us and actually lives up to the ~~lofty~~ ~~solid~~ “meh” expectations left in Ryan Church’s wake. Karma is just messing with us because some Met fan stepped on a Butterfly in China or something.

That’s right, I just combined the cliche metaphor for Chaos Theory and the thing the New Agers stole from Buddhism. That’s how low I’m willing to go to mock this whole situation. As Herme’s would say, for me “That’s as lower than a limbo stick at carnival time, and that’s as low as limbo sticks get”.
