I think you meant
Ramon Castro OPS post-trade: 6.000
lol'd
I’d rec’d it, but out of fear of what might become of it, I won’t.
Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
Ramon Castro has a ring
2003 Marlins. He had a .937 OPS.

That just supports the equation
that lower OPS = more rings…
Do you not get a ring if you're not on the playoff roster?
I mean they give them to the broadcasters

You’d think that the super bowl win over the pats would completely erase that pain, but it doesn’t.

really?
The greatest superbowl victory ever IMHO sure has erased every ugly Giants memory for me. The playoff meltdowns against Minnesota and SF, the superbowl against Baltimore….
Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.

Vikes
I couldn’t really bring myself to dwell on the meltdown against the Vikes after we crushed them in that playoff game a few years after.
Now, that game against the Niners with the botched call at the end… yuck.
That
was a thing of beauty. I was at an all Giants household watching that game. As soon as Hamilton went down Garcia just went nuts

It still bothers me because we beat up on the vikes 41-0 in the champ game
and the super bowl was such a let down. They picked the worst time to play their worst game. Baltimore’s D was great, don’t get me wrong, but the fact that they played that bad really bothered me.
The other two playoff meltdowns were not nearly as bad as that one, IMO.
Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
Dude I'm a Titans fan...

I went to Mizzou with Mike Jones
Nicest guy you ever want to meet. When he was in school he had to bring his infant child to class — couldn’t afford child care.
He was a college RB drafted by the Raiders and converted to LB at Al Davis’ behest. One of the last intelligent things he did before going completely senile.
Mike Jones probably has gotten less ink for making a defining Super Bowl play than anyone else who has ever made one. He made that tackle all alone.

Oh, and you don’t even want to play this game with me. I went to Missouri. I was at the infamous 5th Down Game versus Colorado in CU’s national championship season. That was my senior year. There’s Tyus Edney to the rack with 4.8 seconds left in UCLA’s championship season. There’s the “kicked ball” versus Nebraska in their title season. Then, along came Quin Snyder, Rickey Clemons, Elson Floyd, Carmenta Floyd, and “crackergate”.
Sigh.
I laugh at what you call pain.

It’s a struggle just to get up in the morning.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Mets, Seahawks, and Knicks
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Seahawks went to a Superbowl just a few years ago
the Jets have mostly sucked on a regular basis since 1969.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
be fair
they scrap their way to a 9 or 10 win first round exit every 2-3 years, just to ensure that they won’t get good draft picks to completely rebuild
That's true
and makes it that much harder. They just good enough one year then god awful the next. The only thing that has kept me sane is that I also like the Giants so at least I’ve been happy about one Championship in my life.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Mets, Jets, Nets.
If it weren’t for the Devils, I would probably be drinking very heavily.

I like the Nets
and they were in the Finals twice just a few years ago. I used to love basketball so much.
The Nets: Only basketball team without a SBNation Blog.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
I used to like the Nets as much as the Knicks
but once he bought them I couldn’t root for them as much. Overrated, talentless, plagiarist is all he is.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
I've got nothing against Jay-Z,
but Bruce Ratner? Whoo boy, that’s another story.

Even the Bucks and the D-league have one
it’s really a sad state of affairs =(. Maybe now that we’ve moved Carters awful contract they can afford an official blog.
Denver just got one a few weeks ago I think
They used to have company
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
And if you're a Devils fan
They you need to drink heavily to make their games seem interesting.
Hey, just because the Rangers are on my shit list doesn’t mean I have any less contempt for the Devils and Islanders and Flyers.
That damn kicked ball
cost my Wolverines the outright Nat’l Championship! I hope you enjoyed your retirement gift from the coaches’ poll Osborne, you soulless douche.
I was in San Francisco last week
And went to see an A’s/White Sox game. Castro went 2 for 2 with a HR and a BB. I’ve never cheered for any player so loudly. Then they took him out for AJ Pierzynski late in the game, who proceed to go 0 for 2 with a K. It was just like having him back on the Mets.

Or the mets are surrounded by some injury causing aura.
All players experience a 30% increase in their chance of being injured when they put on a mets uniform.

Even more important than the W-L with and without Castro
I really miss seeing guys in the dugout with bubble gum on their heads.
Your logic is impeccable
Hippo for MVP!!! (most valuable pachyderm)
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
Castro was more valuable to the Mets than he is now to the Sox
Mets lost .194, Sox gained .51. And you can’t blame the difference on Broadway, since he never played the ML until now.
