Adrian Rosario and Daniel Ray Herrera are the PTBNLs in the K-rod trade

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well you have to put in perspective. The Mets literally need to search the couches for spare change.

In response to a question about spending at a level comparable to the Yankees, Alderson said: "We can't spend at will the same way they can spend. And we're not going to attempt to try to do that, at least not over the next several years. Our revenues, basically we've got to get people back in the ballpark to generate the kind of revenues that would be needed to have an even larger payroll. But the fact is, even at $100 million or $110 million, we're still in the upper echelon of payrolls. That ought to allow us plenty of latitude."

Still, Alderson noted that level of payroll can be a challenge when the payroll is concentrated with a handful of players. In the Mets' case, Johan Santana will receive $24 million in 2012, David Wright is owed $15 million and Jason Bay $16 million. That's $55 million for three players before Jose Reyes is even re-signed.

I can't believe I support this joke of an organization.

 

[richiek]

Looks like Jose Reyes is a goner after this season (sigh).

 

[eznark]

Well you have to put in perspective.

It's only funny because people here thought Green or Gamel was on the PTBNL list and they get DRH and a 20 year old reliever struggling in A-ball.

 

[Square Triangle]

Tigers with three doubles in a row this inning. Beautiful.

Maggs has two doubles and an RBI today, feels good to be in 2006 again.

 

[oatmeal]

Einhorn's deal to buy minority Mets stake is off

My head hurts even worse now...

...

Finkel IS Einhorn!

 

[JABEE]

Ryan Howard reaches 30 HRs!

 

[beast786]

Inge Sucks.

 

[turnbuckle]

Inge Sucks.

Hey his gidp that got botched was the catalyst for our 3 run inning!

 

[Square Triangle]

Fucker got lucky with four straight walks and then gets caught in a rundown.

I'm done complaining about the guy, I have no more energy to waste on him.

 

[Windu]

Ryan Howard reaches 30 HRs!

meh, Dan uggla reached 30 HRs a week and a half ago. Uggla > Howard.

 

[Square Triangle]

Jesus fuck. Cleveland will lose today's game and Tigers can't capitalize.

 

[Doytch]

meh, Dan uggla reached 30 HRs a week and a half ago. Uggla > Howard.

meh, Bautista reached 30 HRs a month and a half ago.

 

[Square Triangle]

Holy shit Maggs now with a homer

 

[turnbuckle]

Jesus fuck. Cleveland will lose today's game and Tigers can't capitalize.

Pfft maggs partying like it's 2006

Maybe we should get Bonilla, Saberhagen, and Glavine to come back and play since they are being paid anyways.

People here equals one person.

 

[Square Triangle]

Jesus, KC just won't go away.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

So is the Storm Chaser's roster going to be depleted after today?

 

[beast786]

Jesus, KC just won't go away.

.

 

[Square Triangle]

This is the fucking Royals. I'm done watching this mess.

 

[turnbuckle]

Just got done getting root canal and wtf royals! I should ve asked for some percocet to deal with the pain of this mess of a game

 

[Malo]

Yankees lineup :

Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Andruw Jones LF
Jesus Montero DH
Russell Martin C
Eduardo Nunez 3B

About time Montero got called up. Hopefully he does well.

Not over yet, though.

 

[talisayNon]

i love the royals haha.

 

[Windu]

meh, Bautista reached 30 HRs a month and a half ago.

I'm sorry booster juice aided HRs don't count.

 

[Doytch]

I'm sorry booster juice aided HRs don't count.

i bet jamba juice is ok tho, you jingoistic bastard!

 

[eznark]

People here equals one person.

He may be annoying but he is still a person, LJ. And remember, he heard that from reliable sources on the radio, so clearly more than one person (to be fair, there was real anxiety in Brewer land among fools that it might be Green as well).

Gonzalez is the weak link. Yeah, it doesn't seem like Prado has been consistent in getting a hit when runners are on base. It's either a fielders choice or a double play, but not as bad as AG who's just worthless in those situations.

 

[eznark]

mother FUCKER

 

[ConradCervantes]

Glad I didn't go today. The Crew are just not in this series. I hope they don't think the season ends in August.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

As a Braves fan, I would love it if the Diamondbacks overtook the Brewers in W/L column. I would much rather the Braves face the D-Backs in the first round than the Brewers.

You'd still have to play us after we sweep the Phillies.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Get used to it, boys! The Royals are going to have 4-6 good years very soon.

OMG, I cannot wait to see our lord and savior tattoo Lester tonight.
Montero's legend begins.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braves haven't been to the NLCS since 2001. I'd rather them get there first.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Well this game turned into a nightmare fast. Bases loaded, no outs, Pujols up after homering in the first.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. Of fucking COURSE.

 

[Square Triangle]

Oh shit.

 

[Doytch]

Pujols is beasting liek wtf.

 

[rekameohs]

Braves haven't been to the NLCS since 2001.

And remember who they lost to

 

[eznark]

 

[ConradCervantes]

The comeback hath begun!

FUCK YES. WE ARE DOING THIS SHIT.

 

[eznark]

WOOOOOOOO, here come the fucking Brewers!!!!

 

[ConradCervantes]

DFA Fielder

 

[sf2fanatic]

So what killed the deal with Carroll not going to the braves?

 

[Windu]

So what killed the deal with Carroll not going to the braves?

sounds like they wanted too much in return.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Eveland pitching a gem..




:jnc

 

[Carlbeego]

Jesus Montero looks like the Nintendo character Ness from Earth Bound.

 

[The Frankman]

Mets pushing these unis HARD. I think they may add it to the alt rotation next year if they got the bid in on time.
