Why Isn’t Santana Clutch?

MLB.com just emailed me this:

WHO’S NEXT? YOU DECIDE.

This award recognizes the player who performed his best when the game was on the line, who delivered the walk-off homer or who was there with six-plus strong innings. It celebrates the player who always connects on a two-out hit or is automatic in the bullpen. He is the player that rises to the occasion when his team needs him most. He is clutch.

Your choices: Berkman, Lee, Morneau, Pujols, K-Rod and Sabathia. Some are pitchers. I thought Santana was pretty clutch. Maybe he doesn’t deserve to win, but he seemed pretty darn clutch to me.

Today is Day 10 of the Mets not refunding playoff tickets. They immediately charged us. Why not immediately refund?

>The Global Depression Will Help The Mets

>The Mets (and Yankees) are heading for a golden age.

As companies sort through their own financial issues, the money that funds skyboxes and corporate stadium rights will dry up.

That leaves non-skybox ticket sales and tv revenue as the ways teams make money. The New York teams will be able to draw 2 million fans in their sleep. A team like the Royals, I'm not so sure.

When teams start worrying about meeting payroll they will look to deal players (see the Florida Marlins for how that works). The Mets would be wise (and this is always a wise move) to stock the farm. There's likely to be some bargains out there.

As for me, I sure wish the Mets would return my money to me. This is Day 10 of the Mets keeping my money hostage. They sold me playoff tickets, and the letter says that if the games were not played they would credit our credit cards. Did anyone get their money yet?

>I Hate Myself But I Want K-Rod and C.C.

>I run my mouth a lot.

I preach and preach about the value of homegrown players and I call Pedro Martinez and Tom Glavine mean names.

Maybe it’s two collapses in a row but…

I want K-Rod and I want Sabathia.

Break the bank Mets. It’s all pretend money (and partially the money you have yet to refund me for non-delivered playoff tickets).

For the first time since about 1975 you are on even keel with the Yankees. They didn’t win (either). They can no longer hit you over the head with Yankee Stadium.

This is your chance to win back the city.

Take your new stadium money and get a closer and another front line starter.

I can’t believe I’m saying this.
