Record and winning % of the Mets and White Sox, pre and post Ramon Castro trade on May 29:

Mets

Pre: 27-20, .574
Post: 30-49, .380

White Sox

Pre: 22-25, .468

This is irrefutable evidence of the positive impact Ramon Castro's mere presence has on a baseball team's performance.

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.

All these stats don't matter, rings is all that matters

Santos: 0

Trent Dilfer: 1

dilfer?

I think you forgot the greatest NBAer of all time Robert Horry.

Ramon Castro has a ring

2003 Marlins. He had a .937 OPS.

Left off the playoff roster though

in favor of Mike “.614 OPS” Redmond

by Sokojoe on Aug 26, 2009 3:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

That just supports the equation

that lower OPS = more rings…

by djg2111 on Aug 26, 2009 5:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Do you not get a ring if you're not on the playoff roster?

I mean they give them to the broadcasters

True, alright you've convinced me

Santos =/= Castro = Dilfer

Pouring salt on wound with Dilfer

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

Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

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.

by JoshNY on Aug 26, 2009 4:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

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

by MetsKnicksRutgers on Aug 26, 2009 4:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I was at that game

It was freaking awesome

by JoshNY on Aug 27, 2009 7:51 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

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.

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.

I'm a Mets, Jets and Knicks fan

It’s a struggle just to get up in the morning.

Seahawks went to a Superbowl just a few years ago

the Jets have mostly sucked on a regular basis since 1969.

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

by cjmulrain on Aug 26, 2009 9:22 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

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.

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.

they're just waiting on Jay-Z to get off his lazy ass and start writing it

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.

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

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.

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.
