I don’t own this $500 Mets jersey
At the memorabilia shop. Presumably from the Shea closing ceremony.
I love the 2 button look. Well as a curiosity, I don’t actually love it.
Dear Mets: why must you suck so badly?
Dear Mets,
Why must you suck so badly?
Couldn’t you just suck?
If you had decided to just suck when you were 7 games over .500 you cold have gone 3-4 every week and soft landed at something like 4 games under .500. That wouldn’t have been so bad.
Nope, you have decided you really want to suck. This thing where you lose, what is it, 5 of every 6…it’s very boring.
You can take a scoreless game to the 9th but not one of us believes that you will win.
Down 4-1? I know the game is over. You’re not going to score. I know it, you know it.
Why do you do this to me?
I used to think Mets was a TV series written by Greg Prince but now I realize that Greg has been replaced by Damon Lindelof.
Every year you suck me in with new storylines. Hey this Kirk kid looks awesome! Hey this Ike Davis guy might be Mark Grace! Let’s make R.A. Dickey super-human! Let’s inexplicably let Santana throw a career high amount of pitches so we can all get our buzz on for 2 days!
These plots all go nowhere. Kirk is gone. Ike might be Dave Kingman. You’re afraid to tell us the truth about Santana because if you grab another pitcher from Buffalo they are going to tell you to take your team to the Pacific Coast League.
This all goes nowhere.
A winter of venom, a spring of tricking me, but in the end all the naysayers are going to be correct.
I see the standings. You want to finish last don’t you? You want to finish last.
Why?
Why are you going to let some stupid Marlins fan be able to make fun of me?
Why are you going to leave me hanging on twitter all winter without a leg to stand on?
Why can’t ANYONE pitch?
When do Faraday and the other-other-others show up to waste even more time until this gets good?
Will it ever get good again?
Am I trapped in some sort of limbo?
I WANT TO STOP BLOGGING.
You need to win the World Series while dressed nicely. That’s our deal. Please let me go. Let’s do the All Star Game, Banner Day and win a ring so I can leave the island.
Please.
Why can Felix wear a bracelet but Dickey can’t?
As you know yesterday was enforce the bracelet rule day in Major League Baseball. Except in Seattle.
Answer the question MLB!!!!!!
No need for Mets to rush signing Dickey
I’m deliberately piling on the morning after a loss with the hope that with the loss comes some sobriety that doesn’t follow wins.
R.A. Dickey is the man. Cool guy. Great story. Having an awesome year.
He is also signed for 2013.
Since the Mets are involved let’s assume the worst will happen. Whatever the most embarrassing situation for the Mets can possibly be, that’s what will happen.
Worst ever scenario #1
Dickey wins the 2012 and 2013 Cy Young. The Mets try to sign him but he decides to sign with the Yankees at age 39. He then wins the 2014 Cy Young for the World Champion Yankees while the Mets go 52-110. People announce on twitter they are boycotting Mets games until the Wilpons sell (or approve their press pass.)
We’ve lived through variants of that. What are you going to say, stupid Wilpons? You already say that.
Worst ever scenario #2
The Mets, tired of being called stupid and cheap extend Dickey beyond his 39th birthday. It turns out that Cinderella isn’t real. They are tied up for years with a.500 pitcher in his 40’s with an ERA in the 4’s.
Does that make sense?
Likely scenario
Dickey isn’t really a perennial Cy Young candidate. He has figured out how to use his stuff at a late age, so he’s better than he was in Texas It’s a knuckleball so some nights it works, and some nights it doesn’t. You can count on him to eat innings and go 11-9. That’s actually a great thing to have on a staff.
He will still be 39 when the season ends next year.
Perhaps he decides to stay with the Mets. At worst, he leaves (at age 39) and pitches somewhere else.
It doesn’t mean I don’t like him, it doesn’t mean he’s not cool, it doesn’t mean that I don’t. Hope he pitches great into his 40’s. The rush to re-sign him now? I don’t get it. I don’t know why anyone is even talking about it.
If he wins the Cy and Sandy has him at $5 million in 2013 than hooray for Sandy.
Now the guy at third base….that’s a whole other story that is not just about the baseball part. Factor in the marketing, the brand, the face of the franchise, the guy shaking hands with clients at 4pm before day games….that deal should get done today. But we will have plenty of time to talk about that this off-season.
