Strasburg Applesauce - Wagner back with Mets, Strasburg and Matz sign, Cora done, Wilpon sorry

“There’s disappointment in the fan base and ownership here as well as ownership in New York with how they’ve performed. We have to fix that,” Wilpon said. “It’s something we want to do better and we will do better for the city of Buffalo and for the Mets. It’s good business to do better and it’s also the morally right thing to do because Buffalo has opened its arms to us and we really appreciate that.”

I mean our AAA affiliates since 2002 records have been (A flawed way at looking at depth I know)
66-75
75-69
57-84
79-65
72-72
67-76
70-73
This year Buffalo is 48-71 which is bad but the Mets AAA teams have been bad before recently without promises of making the AAA team better. So, either Wilpon realizes that Omar did a shitting assembling depth or these comments are just based on the fact that it’s the Mets first year in Buffalo or maybe since it’s the Mets first year there and because of the injuries, Wilpon actual noticed the Mets had a laughable AAA roster.

A lousy 2-17 start to the season hurt, and since then the team has been seeing alot of action in NY, rather than Buffalo.

Type “grission average” on google

On the way to work this morning I saw an AMNY headline quoting right saying he was “embarrassed” to be on the DL and was almost enraged that he sounds like he’s buying into the macho bullshit that Jerry has been spewing with the continued calling-out of Church. YOU GOT HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A 94-MPH FASTBALL. YOU’RE ALLOWED TO BE INJURED.

Sigh. Billy Wagner to the Yankees for Juan Miranda, is his proposed deal. Yeah, let’s get a 26 year old career minor leaguer at 1st base whose translated OBP is .350ish.

I know we’ve got a ways to go and there’s no guarantee the Marlins makes the playoffs, but let me get ahead of myself for a moment: Honestly, as much as some of their douchier players (Cody Ross) annoy me, there would be something hilarious in them making the playoffs and winning another world series. For one, they’d have more world championships in my lifetime than any team but the Yankees. For another, they’d have the opportunity to humiliate said Yankees again, and finally, they’d be able to humiliate just about every other team in baseball with said 3rd title despite the bare bones payroll.

I know they’ve got a crappy ballpark, and I know most of their players hang around for 6 years or less before leaving, but damn, it’s a pretty good gig being a Marlins fan, especially compared to being a Mets fan.

Plus, if they win the wild card, I’d pretty much have to root for them by default, because I’ll be damned if I’m going to cheer Philadelphia, St. Louis, or LA. The only other team with a good chance of making the playoffs that I could stomach rooting for is Colorado.
