It was definitely C. Thank goodness for the Mets D today.

It was all three, Wright took way too much time fielding it. Even if Wright made a good throw he doesn't get Mayberry because he took too much time.

With the way people tend to fellate Howard this year you can't be too sure.

Who has been on Howard this year? He has done pretty much nothing but that is what everyone expected. He wont be healthy until the year is over.
We don't have anyone else. Guess we could bring back Erasmo ... but he really isn't all that special either.
My god did Danny Hultzen disappoint me in AAA.

Hey Niese, if you call for the ball you gotta catch it. Simple.
You missed The Great Ryan Howard Fellation that happened here like a month ago as he was coming back.

I guess I must have, that sucks cause I do love me some Howard. The Mets D is the gift that keeps giving today.
Remember at the beginning of the season when you were all excited about your big 3 pitching prospects and you got mad when I said they were going to break? Well, told you so.

Damn Rollins benched. I am so happy to see that.
Paxton had a good season, knee injury not withstanding.
Hultzen was disgusting at AA, imploded at AAA. I think he is trying to strike too many people out as evidenced by his high K/9.
Walker had a great start to the season, but I don't think he has the stamina to pitch a full season yet ... he's also pretty damn young.
Doubt you'll see Walker or Paxton fall too far if at all on many prospect lists .... Hultzen certainly will. Zunino will leapfrog him easily imo.
Stop making me sad. LET ME HAVE SOME NICE THINGS.

Wow, a rare low scoring game in this park. Mets have been dancing in and out of getting crooked numbers put up on them seemingly the last 3-4 innings.

Lots of 1st pitch pop ups.

He's been throwing strikes, Mets not hitting balls foul and extending ABs.
Well 1st/2nd with 2 out. Kendrick leaves.

So, his brother gets COMPLETELY off the hook? Am I reading this right?

I'd love to see Robert Carson in the mix as a 2nd lefty in the pen next year along with Josh Edgin. The guy throws hard and has a nice slider/curve.

OH JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK
Papelbon just hit Turner in the head with a fastball.

Pap with his 30th save, what a great signing.
Yeah I saw it. Ridiculous.
His psychosis was a "singular event". God damn. I'm gonna stab someone claiming I heard voices all the time before.
It's hilarious because you're not being sarcastic.

Giants are close to acquiring 1B Carlos Lee from the Marlins. No word on whether or not the Giants are on Lee's 14-team no-trade list.

Brandon Belt to the Bench!

Pap signing was fine. Really. It's worked out as well as it could have. It was an overpay but the Phillies can pay it and he's not the reason the season went to shit. Charlie refusing to use Papelbon in non-save situations cost them so many games this year.
Mets paid Frank Francisco + Jon Rauch + Ramon Ramirez more money than Paps is making this year.
Hard to argue that the Mets season wouldn't have been drastically different if they paid big for Papelbon and took a smart, cheap approach with other bullpen arms.

Carl Crawford? Joe Mauer? Andre Ethier?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Source? Googling "Carlos lee giants" gives me nothing but this thread.
yeah, howard is worse than those.

Has any player ever produced less per dollar then Crawford?

Joe Mauer is still a pretty decent player. For now anyway. Still plenty of time for that contract to get real ugly.
Ryan Howard is one of the worst contracts ever. It was inexplicable then and its even worse now.
I'm not arguing that the Papelbon signing was great - you're still paying a shitload for not that many innings. But if I was a fan of a big market team (evidently the Mets decided to stop being one) I'd rather see that than a team paying a bunch of middling middle relievers to the same kind of dollar figure.
Bullpens are always a crap shoot though. It's pretty amazing watching the Rays find gems year after year, Fernando Rodney is one of the weirdest comebacks ever (I mean its gotta be roids right?). JP Howell went from awful trash who should have been DFA'd to a good reliever again.

I'm sure you already know this, but the average WAR came somewhat as a shock to me:
Over the last 5 years (2008-2012 inclusive), Howard has been worth 1.3 wins on average, each year. These are his age 28-32 seasons and generally that age range tends to coincide with a ballplayer's peak years. He is very likely entering his decline years.
Over the next 5 years (2013-2017), Howard is owed at least 105 million dollars.
