The Mets Are Reeeeaally Trying To Make Some Money Here

The Mets have this really really annoying habit of losing and letting me down, so when the NY Times ran  a story about the team being sold I wasn't surprised they were only minority shares of ownership. I was also unsurprised at the lame list of perks included such as access to Mr Met....in exchange for a small fee of 20 mil. Who wouldn't make that investment!?

Weekend Review

So what happened in sports this weekend? Well the Yankees finished off the Tigers in a clean sweep thanks to a good start from a fresh Joba coming off eight days rest. The Mets...poor, poor Mets...They took one game out of four in the ass whipping session that was the Atlanta series this weekend. Johan Santana the one good thing about the cursed Mets got the win on Saturday, right before they were beaten soundly on Friday. Oh! Oh! Oh! and guess what!!! Did you guess more injuries!?! Sure you did because the 2009 Mets without a fresh injury story would be like watching American Idol without that one closeted gay dude every season. So now Nieve is out with a leg thingy and Niese is spose to be coming in to replace him. I say he's off to a good start just by being named "Niese", the guy he's replacing is "Nieve". That's one letter from identical people! Now that's talent! Oh! as an added bonus Sheff has a lil' tweaked leg also, but it's not major...hopefully. I secretly just think these guys on the D L are all calling the Mets up and faking so they can skip work to go to Six Flags. No judgements...Six Flags rocks hard.

Also The Knicks went perfect in Summer League play!!!...Perfect in losing. Going 0-5 in Las Vegas. But when your team sucks harder than a young Vietnamese prostitute only wanting a better life believing your sperm is the key to that, sometimes the only thing you can do is look at the silver lining and that would be I didn't kill myself while watching the games. Oh, I wanted to..but I didn't. Rooks Douglas and Hill did aight. Douglas was very effective despite a terribly off shot and Hill progressed more and became more aggressive as each game passed. The big surprise was Nikolav Tskitasvilli looking like some euro Jordan prototype. Probably spelled his name wrong but who gives a shit. Win a fucking game first, then I'll promise to become a national spelling bee champion even if I have to take out a few twelve year olds to do it.

The Met's Say Good Riddance to Lousy Half On A Good Note

Well...the Mets still have a waaaaay to go but at least they got two wins over the Reds going into the break. In 4th place now, 6 1/2 back it's not over but with no timetable on a few critical pieces going forward will be an uphill battle. Many are calling for heads to roll but I beg to differ. It'll solve nothing at this point and really, who could have predicted Citi Field would become an ICU instead of a ball park. We fired a good manager in Randolph and not much has changed since why would things be different this time? And say what you want about Minaya he delivers. Any big name he can get to bolster his team he has went out and done it. From Delgado down to Santana he has down the best to keep fans happy and the team competitive. Sometimes...just sometimes, it does come down to the players. If it's one fault he does need to address it is the farm. He needs to get that shit together. Quick. The Mets go back out Thursday with Olly ready to to pitch and set off a long road trip. When I say "ready" I use the term as loosley as R&B sensation Cassie's vagina. When I say "R&B sensation" I use the term as loosely as a pair of famous hollwood actress Kirstie Alley's panties on my head. And when I say "famous hollywood actress" ....okay, I could do this forever, point is the Met's need to get it together.

Mets losin to the Dodgers...makes me sick, really it does!!!

I still feel like crap. And the Mets are down 3 zip in the 4th...wait..wait, make that 5 zip to the Dodgers. Sometimes I wish the Mets would roid up just for a cycle instead of using classic drugs like dope and blow.
