In an effort to become more "mean", the Mets have acquired Anton Chigurh. He is starting tonight in place of the way-too-nice Jon Niese. Chigurh is a tall lefty who throws nothing but a 118 mph fastball. Basically a sociopathic Sidd Finch. He is known for screaming "SIT DOWN, FRIEND-O" after strikeouts.
