Cuddyer discusses Mets’ rotation
“They could be the best in baseball. They’re young and improving. We’re sure to win and lose a bunch of games 1-0. I’m really excited to watch them from the dugout as I rehab whatever injury I get.” -Cuddyer
Why has Sandy Alderson made so few big-league trades?
Over on Metsblog, this question was asked.
Here is Matt Cerrone’s response: Interesting, yes, but also kind of meaningless without context…I don’t think we have enough information yet…I agree, they’re not off to an impressive start in terms of acquiring big-league talent, but I can’t say with certainly why that is…
Nice question dodging, Matt! Very deft! Very PR-savvy! Bullets are flying by you like in the Matrix. I know the Mets pay you for these puppet minion answers, but knowing the Mets it can’t be THAT much.
Here is the real answer: Beacuse the Wilpons are cheap Jew fucks. They own a New York City team on a Monrovian budget and it compromises every faction of the franchise.
What form of METS disease will Michael Cuddyer get?
We all know it’s coming. He won’t be the first and he won’t be the last person to come down with a case of the METS.
Here are the Vegas odds as to what type he will get:
1:1 – nagging injury or season ending injury late in season, around 50 games missed
2:1 – season ending injury early in season, over 100 games missed
5:1 – inexplicable* decline in performance, no other symptoms
8:1 – smashes into another player or wall. Remains in lineup despite injury and severe loss in production
10:1 – PED suspension
25:1 – Makes an ugly error costing the Mets a game, and costing Cuddyer his confidence for the rest of the season
500:1 – Hay fever
Place your bets!
*When this one happens, people will try to explain it by saying his Colorado numbers were inflated. While this could potentially explain a decline of about 5 dingers, we’ll see what the apologists say when he’s gone from 20 to 0.
The Mets have the 2nd best pitching prospect in baseball…guess who has the best
Mets RHP prospect Noah Syndergaard has been ranked the second-best pitching prospect in baseball (MLB.com, Jan. 20). Nationals LHP Lucas Giolito is the only pitcher ranked ahead of Syndergaard.
Keep talking, Wilpons! Keep letting us know how great our starting rotation is! And keep telling us about our great prospects!
To put what is “on paper” in numbers would like a little like this:
Nationals:
Pitching- 10
Prospects- 10
Hitting- 8
Mets:
Pitching- 9
Prospects- 9
Hitting- negative a million blowzillion
Mets officially OUT for Moncada
He’ll probably be a Yankee. Having money must be sweet.
“There’s just nothing at SS available.” -Alderson
“We’ve acquired 3, yes 3, replacements for Jeter.” -Brian Cashman
“Obviously Fred Wilpon can’t be at fault. He is the league’s finance chairman, after all.” -Matt Cerrone
Nats get Scherzer; mets get scoreboard
On the same day the Nats announced Scherzer (giving them the most dominant staff in baseball), the Mets announced a 62% increase in the Citifield scoreboard’s size.
Nice to see a TV getting some steroids. Give some to our weak ass hitters while you’re at it.
Quack Doc Analysis: David Wright’s Shoulder
David Wright’s shoulder has suffered extensive damage to the burden that the Wilpons placed on it.
“Yeah, ever since they let Reyes go, all the weight’s really been on me.” -David. He went on, “I haven’t seen a pitch to hit in years. I’ve seen one at my head…then I forgot where I was for a while.” Mets manager Jerry Manuel didn’t call for retaliation. None of the players did, either. Cain and the Giants since have won 3 chips in 5 years.
Although Collins is in the hot seat, many believe this is the first time there’s been any talent whatsoever. One would like to believe that if a Mets player gets beaned, fiery guys like Harvey and Collins himself will play real baseball. No more having David shoulder all the weight.
Mets don’t even have best pitching in NL East
All the talk about our pitching. All the hemmin n’ hawin. It don’t mean shit ya hear?!
Nats got Scherzer. Sheeeeiiittt.
We can’t hit for shit, and we don’t even have the best pitching in the division. Metsblow.
Tejada avoids arbitration. Wanna know why?
I know why, too. I really do. With Murph, Herrera, Tulo talk, and of course Flores “all up in tha middle,” why would the Mets keep Tejada?
This is why: Tejada’s walk-up music
*mic drop*
Shit gets all 300 fans in the stands JACKED UP!! I love it. It even sounds like the singer is saying “rubey ru tejada da.”
I noticed this song wasn’t featured on some lame blog’s “top 10 MLB player walk-up music” list, but that’s probably because they don’t think Tejada is a real MLB player. Shows what they know. He’ll probably be starting in May.
