I went horseback riding in the Catalina Mountains north of Tuscon…we all had 8 liters of water for a two hour ride. You don’t sweat, which makes you think you’re not dehydrating. It was 114 in the city, and on the Oracle Road I was hitting hotter pockets of air in a Mustang convertible.

could not care less means that you have reached the limit that you care about a certain issue

huh?

“I couldn’t care less” means I care so little that it is not possible for the amount I care to be any less than what it is. “I could care less” means that you care a finite amount. It might be a whole lot and it might be very little but its enough so that its possible that I could care less than how much I do care.

those rules are there to protect the players from abuse – in this case, because Ollie is suddenly so bad it seems selfish but he’s down in the minors on the pretense that he’s injured and will be back with the Mets after the rehab stint. I don’t want to see Ollie starting anymore – he doesn’t even throw hard anymore – I think he’s through but he’s only doing what anyone would in his situation.

I'm so sick of Reyes getting so much credit and so much blame.

And they never tire of showing the Mets record when Reyes scores a run vs when he doesn’t. But when the other teams pitcher has a bad day everyone is more likely to score a run. It doesn’t prove what they think it proves. I think the teams record is similarly better when DW scores or when Frenchy scores or anyone then when they don’t. Reyes’ value to the Mets is as a really good baseball player. He doesn’t have some magical effect that makes everyone else play better. At least I don’t think so.

so are we really burning out our relievers?

and I know Pelfrey imploded and left early, but this is more proof that Jerry is the big reason for an overworked pen. Whats the point of taking guys out if 1 . they’re not hurt 2. the game is out of reach.

Tampa wouldn't

Why would they trade the #12 & #19 ranked prospects in MLB for a centerfielder, while excellent, is coming off an injury & they won’t be able to get compensation from should he leave? And plus, I don’t want Omar trading with Friedman.

what a disaster of a game. embarrassing.

Hard for me to even spin some positives out of it, which I try to do. Pelfrey has completely regressed. Bay’s suckage continues unabated. Inexplicably, the team seems to be going ahead with Barajas and is going to send down Thole. Bullpen no good.

Makes me sad. I still am happy to have Beltran up, I guess I’ll go with that… sigh.
