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.

NBA Summer League Fun!!!

The NBA Las Vegas Summer League has kicked off while I was recovering from that roofie an obeese one legged woman gave me outside of Target. Can't remember her name so let's call her Heather Hills. Get it? Like Heather Mills but fat! I'm trying dammit. I should have known better than to beleive a 300 pound woman would willingly hand out free cupcakes to raise diabetes awareness. Anyway word is Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings either of which the Knicks could have had are putting on a show in Vegas. Meanwhile the Dicks...pause....pardon, the Knicks start off tomorrow with a squad comprised of various vagrants and hobos found dwelling in the subways under MSG but also a few notables including rookies Toney Douglas, Jordan Hill and free agent Morris Almond of various nut jokes and Utah Jazz fame. If you guys would like to follow the action and even peek at the schedule check out http://www.nba.com/summerleague2009/. Now I must shower...I feel vulnerable.

Grant Hill Re-Signs With Suns

So Grant Hill re-signed with the Suns earlier today. Me? Don't care. Actually, I think we dodged a bullet. Grant deserves credit because his wife is hawt. Plus I guess he's kinda productive when he does play...you know when he's not gimped up. And...his wife is hawt. At one point I had a change of heart about the Knicks signing Hill...you know when I thought he'd be cheap...dirt cheap. But then I started hearing that Knicks President Donnie Walsh gave Hill TWO offers!?! One not so bad, 1yr for $5 mil OR the terrible deal 3yr for $10 mil. Really? Does Grant even have 3 years left? C'mon. Let's not tie up any free agent money with a guy who has played ONE full 82 game season in what? 14 years? C'mon. One for five is generous on the Knicks part because as productive as a player he is right now, he still doesn't answer any of the Knicks needs. In case you're wondering that would be consistent point guard play and interior defense. He is not a need ...he's a want, and you shouldn't blow your budget on a want or else you end up earning your meals by dumpster diving in a White Castle parking lot after having spent your whole pay check in a Patterson strip club adequately named Hi Beams Go-Go Lounge...at least that's what I hear happens...to other people. Not me.
