I'm glad we've been all been a part of the Pat Misch experience. Now that that's done, I think it's time to get more pitching.
Meet the Mets
Jose Reyes is still trying to return to the field for 2009. That's just what loser baseball players do. Try really hard to play.
The Mets may get involved in Aroldis Chapman bidding.
Jason Marquis apparently wants to return home to New York.
Around the NL East
That home run for Chipper Jones was his first in a month. Oh, and he's coming back next year too.
What type of pitcher would sign with the Nationals during the off season? Would they consider Chapman as well?
Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria talked with the New York Times about his team's new stadium.
Around MLB
The Astros have fired manager Cecil Cooper.
The Players' Association is appealing Milton Bradley's season-ending suspension.
BtB takes a look at the value being produced by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Diamondback Mark Reynolds is two strikeouts short of breaking his own single-season strikeout record. He also has 43 home runs.

Franceour is the key to the Mets' future
Much like Pedro helped bring in Latin talent, Frenchy will bring in an influx of players with French sounding names.
You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.
GOD NO

Pat Misch experience
Sounds like the name of a terrible 70s band.
Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
Probably out somewhere
touring with Bread and Pablo Cruise or some other such nonsense. All keyboards and sensitive dudes with beards.

I liked this story
During batting practive, Johan greeted fans entering the stadium from the Jackie Robinson Rotunda yesterday. Solid guy.
Aroldis Chapman scares me
I’ve seen to much Ollie and am now deeply afraid of high K/high BB pitchers. Groundballer, please!
I'd like him
But there’s too many people with a hardon on the 100+ fastball, yes, that’s nice and projectable but the dude basically has no secondary stuff from what I read. I’d sign him for a bit more than what Tazawa got (mayber 10M tops), but the numbers I’ve read for him are crazy. He could very well become another Daniel Cabrera.
He has a nasty slider

Don't be scared...
NYBD was the source for that rumor, so don’t bother putting anything into it. Wait to be scared until someone with any credibility hears something.

I never cited a source
The Chapman article was speculation about whether the Mets could go after Chapman head to head with Yanks. ESPN cited Yanks as already having interest.
I don’t mind criticism but making things up that I didn’t say is patently unfair. When we say source we admit to it. Read the piece closely.

Marquis seems like the kind of signing the mets never make
a mid level guy that has put together a couple ok seasons.
His FB has been steady at 90mph the past bunch of years. He is a not young/not old 31 years old. Had 1 bad season in 2006 but has been League avg or better every other year of his career and his WAR has been moving north.
Downside is he has thrown alot of innings… but he may be willing to come here for less… which would mean he could potentially not get in the way of getting another pitcher.
What is the avg WAR for a #3 pitcher? He may not be that bad an idea.
Marquis is the type of signing that Omar would never make
because he is an average player at best, but at least a known quantity. Omar will only go for superstars (or what he perceives to be superstars, e.g. KRod) or unknowns so that he can say he caught lightning in a bottle and looks like a genius.
Marquis hasn't played
in the Nationals or Expos system. That’s why Omar won’t sign him.
Last night
I had a nightmare that the Mets traded David Wright. I don’t remember what it was for, only that the rest of my dream was spent burning my Mets gear and hunting for Omar Minaya.
This team is seeping into my subconscious. Aaargh.
Is Daniel Murphy's hot second half
convincing anyone else to give him another full year at first, cos it kind of is with me…
yes
very much so.
especially because I am not a big fan of any options I have heard as a replacement.
Not me
but I’d guess it’s convincing Omar

Last year I would have said yes,
but this year, after watching the way he stumbled out of the gate in April, there’s no way you can pencil him at a corner spot. Remember, he was just as good, if not better, in the second half of last year and look what happened to him.
Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
Get MB
Especially if we sign Frenchie for three years. He could make our seasons, post-elimination that more interesting. Also bring in Wally Backman while we’re at it.
