9 Jeff Francouers Applesauce - Mets better w/o dead weight, Cliff Lee update, Reyes is awesome

If anything, we will need bullpen help. Think of it this way – is there anyone in the lineup massively overachieving? On the contrary, several guys have underachieved. In the rotation, Pelfrey and Santana have peripherals that suggest they might regress a bit, but not massively so, and the rest of the rotation at least looks fairly decent. It’s the bullpen that is on the precipice of an explosion, and that’s where I’d look for help. Besides, even if the pen didn’t deteriorate rapidly, it never hurts to add an arm or two. I’d also look for a cheap utility guy, or simply grab someone who has been DFA’d recently.

It seems like everyone is goin’ up hackin on the first pitch, which currently is working, but is not a good long term approach. Hopefully they will rethink their strategy when facing these better teams that might take advantage of their over-aggressiveness. Could result in a lot of 8 pitch innings.

gets no credit for being a yuckster himself. The prolonged sneak attack pieing of Niese? It was well played. And as for a nice smile, he’s clearly the handsomeist Met. David’s cute in a teeny bop kind of way, but that doesn’t impress this heterosexual
male. I like me Pagan.

That would be both horrible and beautiful at the same time.

Nobody but you gives a damn that it’s the 100th anniversary of your craphole stadium. You just had the ASG like ten years ago, now it’s somebody else’s turn. You whiny fucks.

Why should he? To be exploited in some half-baked book for profit? Give me a break. End the “campaign”. There’s a really interesting baseball season happening right now. No need for such superfluous distractions.

Where do I vote?

My name is Howard Megdal. As you have probably heard, I am running for General Manager of the New York Mets.
