I thought so to but Rubin reports:

AdamRubinESPNAdamRubinESPN: Mets personnel verifies it is Sandy Alderson. At least, was "almost certain."

That Rubin….snarky as always.

We should all do what Sandy should do

Block BMF and Pomes accounts and then just ignore them. Neither of these clowns posts anything worth reading.

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

UPDATE 2: Vol. I, No. 1 (July, 2011) is now up!
