Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Floyd is our Leader Applesauce - Mets lack leadership, Nieve as no. 5, bald Shinjo

Star-divide

Meet the Mets

You know it's a slow news day when the biggest news is Cliff Floyd's 30 minute interview with Mike Francesa. I would think the biggest question is who is the mole in the clubhouse? The second biggest story is that the new Topps baseball cards are out.

Wait, who am I kidding. Tsuyoshi Shinjo will always be the biggest story. Especially if he's now bald.

Fonzie Forever takes a look at the Mets' projected No. 5 starter Fernando Nieve. Maybe he's not such a horrible option after all.

Around MLB

Justin Verlander and the Tigers have agreed to a five year $80 million deal. Maybe Detroit isn't totally emptying the shelves.

And, finally, teams are no longer allowed to require players to donate to a team charity as part of their contracts.

Shinjo

I don’t care whatever he does, fan is his treasure.

Actually, I'm digging a shaved Shinjo.

He’s still an epic win in my eyes.

The 2010 New York Mets: Maybe it's the Phillies' turn to have 95% of its roster on the DL

The 2009 New England Patriots: At least we got our division title back

What's with former Mets and Hairclub for Men?

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
In order to raise extra capital, the Mets have explored signing Kosuke Fukudome to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training (replete with curiously high uniform number).
