Oi, my head hurts from reading this sentence
Reading the first sentence in italics makes me wonder how low SNY's standards are.

i can't even define "sentence" the same way

“Also out of the pitchers you named. Broxton (the RP), helped his team get into the playoffs while the other 2 playes were on their couch watching the playoffs. As great as Grienke was, it wasn’t enough to get them to the playoffs. 1 Great closer can save 3-4 games a week, where 1 great pitcher can only win you 1 game as long as the bullpen doesn’t blow it for him.”
At least now I know: Phil Coke >> Tim Lincecum
2009 Did Not Happen
I don't understand how the idea that
a closer can only save a game you have the lead in seems to escape so many mets fans. You would think the last 2 years of pitching, behind Santana, we’ve gotten would have knocked some sense into them.
in billionaire russian playboys we trust.
actually i think that's their point
a Santana start feels worthless when our bullpen has blown it so often, so they’re amped about the idea of a dominant closer and place primo value in it.
it’s a bad premise when you think about it a little harder — and look at some stats — but it’s an argument that seems intuitive to a lot of people, and i can’t fault the common fan for it.

oh i think i misread you, Gina
you meant “behind Santana” as in our 2-5; I thought you meant the bullpen’s performance behind Santana.

(runs off to pick up Coke, then offer him for Lincecum in fantasy league)
Omar & Jerry are conspiring to drive me to drink. That, or they're just honestly totally incompetent.

3-4 saves a week
That’s why during the 25 week season so many pitchers get 75 to 100 saves.
And that doesn’t even matter since saves are meaningless
I can't be mad at Cerrone
I’m, or at least I was, a comma whore too.
in billionaire russian playboys we trust.
I use commas a lot more than I probably need to,
but that’s just ridiculous right there. Not to mention the content of the sentence is pretty stupid itself.
I want to know
how he decides where to use a comma and where to use an ellipsis.
You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.
doesn't that sentence
give you the spins?

"Closer of the future?"
Can they stop saying that cause I don’t want them to give the Mets any ideas.
Sunny days ahead? Probably not.
I think my favorite might be the guy who said
“It all comes down the the 2-5 starting pitching”.
Well, at least we’ve got the #1 spot taken care of.

i thought it all came down to our
1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 hitters. Or is Bay hitting 4th today?

I can't tell who writes more run on sentences
Matt Cerrone, or my English teacher
Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.
I wonder what my destiny is...
