I talk about baseball a lot, specifically the New York Mets, even more specifically our pitching staff.
Dear Kevin Millar,
Please STFU ASAP. Thanks.
Just waiting for baseball to start

MLB’s 2010 Some Stars Game
.
“On behalf of Joe Girardi and Charlie Manuel, who were overcome with temporary insanity, I’d like to publicly apologize to the following players.
- Francisco Liriano
- Joey Votto
- Kevin Youkilis
- Jered Weaver
- Alex Rios
- Josh Willingham
- Ryan Zimmerman
- Felix Hernandez
By any standard you want to use, these eight have to be on the team. You can’t have a 2010 All-Star game without those guys. What a disaster.”
As usual, a pretty sorry collection of “all-stars.”
Mets find rooting interest in World Cup
I love few things like I love the collision of my two favorite sports. (Also, poor, poor Reyes.)
The Ollie Problem (and yes, it’s big enough to justify the capitals letters): I was originally on board with simply giving Hank White permission to live up to his rep but I don’t want to wait for him to get back from Venezuela. The situation is too urgent. So I’ve come up with a better plan. I propose that we scrap Ollie for parts. We can give his knees to Carlos Beltran and Daniel Murphy, his shoulder to Kelvim Escobar, and save his hamstrings for Jose’s next problem. We then harvest his arm for some sort of vaccine against suckiness and voila! We’ve solved several problems with just a few radical surgeries. Who’s with me on this?
WSJ Mets-Yankees Poll
I hope they asked about which fans have read Moneyball. Not so much because the Mets are a shining example of those principles (not even close) but because I’m curious, and I really can’t picture the average Yankees fan owning up to that.
There is something wrong with me. I am most amazed at the huge “408” on the wall… because the picture was taken on 4/08. Yeah.
