Alright, but at least Dickey was awesome for awhile before we realized his awesomeness
Lin has only had 3 good games. He’s about 3 weeks of this type of play away from actually deserving this level of attention.
Dude has put up better numbers in his first 3 starts than anyone
He has led the Knicks to four straight wins, with an offense finally flowing, and without STAT or Melo. He just keeps looking better. He gets to the basket and scores in clutch situations and often acrobatically. If you don’t understand, watch highlights on youtube or, if you missed the Lakers game where he went off yet again, just tune in to the next Knicks game. Tonight will be a great one vs Rubio, so it should be worth watching anyway.
Anyway, we all loved and started going nuts for Dickey when he retired 27 in a row for AAA – it just took the rest of MLB awhile to catch on. Plus, Dickey pitches about once a week, this kid has gone off against some awesome PG’s and Kobe 4 times in a week.
Then he is as humble and well spoken as anyone. There is just nothing not to love bout this kid, cept that he can’t play CF and bat third with the same success for the Mets this upcoming summer
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
I'm not saying don't love the guy
But the hype over a guy whose played now four great games is a little ridiculous. Kinda like people going crazy over Francoeur. I haven’t followed basketball for a few years now, but when I looked up Lin after everyone saying how good he is, I was shocked to see him only have 3 games of note under his belt. I figured he’s been tearing it up since the season started.
Heh, Jeff Francoeur is one of the first things I thought of when I found out who Jeremy Linn actually is last night

Yeah, he literally has the highest point total for the first four games since the merger.
He’s undrafted, from Harvard, the first American born player of Asian descent… That’s why he’s so popular.
Astro Traveler
Not really possible since his first four games he scored a total of 5 points
And his first four this season, he had 6.
games started, as he said
which makes it more awesome – teams had him and barely gave him a shot. His first real shot and he shows up D-Will, Wall and now Kobe!

I think it's more of a cool dude who only wants to be GM for another year or two
and knows he ain’t gonna be fired. So he’s all like what’s up motherfuckers on twitter.
Speaking of Broke
Bloomberg News has another expose on the Mets finances. Perhaps because Bloomberg doesn’t want to buy the team.
The article makes Picard’s case seem contradictory. On one hand he argues that money lost to Madoff has devastated the Mets. On the other hand, he keeps insisting Wilpon/Katz were sort of in on it.
Have you ever laughed, at least once in your life?
"Baseball is like church. Many attend, but few understand."
-Wes Westrum
"I'm a huge advocate of pitching"

Again, dismal science.
At least he picked an occupation that suits his disposition.
And I’d rather read his stuff than Aronofsky’s.
Glad to see Sandy not take
his job or the Mets serious.

I would appreciate that you do not make fun of my personal condition, because of course I run the internet and do not allow people to make jokes of that kind.
I do, however, appreciate sharp, cutting-edge sarcasm.
