My brother and I laughed so hard this morning when we saw Cerrone was “proud” of Pelfrey. Who uses that wording? What the hell?

who reads blogs anyway?

answer: everyone.

and Matt’s commentary isn’t always bad, the commenter’s are pretty awful though. The type of people that would call and/or listen to fatass all day.

Had him on in the car for 5 minutes yesterday (it was only a 5 min trip, so figured why not?) and he was ripping Dickey and Taka, and it pissed me off so I need to vent about it somewhere. He was saying Dickey is a career minor leaguer who is going to be released before Beltran gets back. Some caller in Minnesota said he would be done after 5 more starts. Yeah, he has been in the minors a lot before he decided the knuckler was the pitch he would focus on, and that understandably takes a few seasons to learn/master. Fangraphs says that started in 2005, but he said that was more of a forkball and that he didn’t start using and trusting the knuckler until this season, when he has had a 2.33 ERA in the minors and 1.5 in the majors. If you look at speeds, Dickey was doing something different in the majors before 2008 and has been working towards his current knuckler since. The same stats are not available for Wakefield before 2002, but from what I read it took him awhile to control and be able to use the knuckler as much as he does. You can’t adjust or prepare for a knuckler and once a pitcher learns/masters the pitch they often stay around bouncing between starting and relieving. It has been that way since Hoyt Wilhelm. Further, if the defense plays well and efficient behind the knuckler, there is no reason to not expect continued success as the knuckleball doesn’t get hit hard. I don’t pretend to expect this much success, but he will be successful enough to stay on this club.

I’m not a huge fan of Cerrone’s writing, but saying he looks like a 12 year old who needs a bath? Give me a break, Mike, that’s probably the most unprofessional thing you could possibly say. Ironically, it’s the kind of insult a 12 year old would probably hurl at someone. And it was completely unprovoked. I really saw nothing wrong with the post other than his poor writing skills, at least nothing that would evoke a reaction like that.

I’ve hated Francesa for years. He’s such an arrogant prick who knows next to nothing about the Mets, and is such an obvious Yankee fellater. He’s nothing more than a shock jock who pisses people off to get more calls. Stop giving him attention and he’ll die slowly on the air to open up the primetime spot for Steve Somers.

I am only right once?

Well, if I had to take a guess my winning % is hiring than some of the ideas bandied elsewhere.

Of course, I have to be careful about having an opinion because if you are against the “ideology” you don’t get invited to the high school party!

Love have defending Cerrone is self promotion. Still need you guys to get me the official internet site rulebook. Been waiting for that!

Enjoy the discourse as always :)

You know what, that is a great resource and very honest. I will give you guys credit, your consistent in your ideology, although I think some of it should be tweaked!
