He can pull a Cliff Lee. Help out his team now and then come back and lead the cavalry after they pick up Will Middlebrooks, Anthony Ranaudo and Ryan Kalish for free.

The Royals are the fat girl at the bar during closing time. Every guy thinks they will fuck them if they just walk up to them at the last minute and ask.

No that's the Natinals. Target of this this legendary baseball quote:

"Why did I sign with the Nationals?" Tavarez said told a group of reporters. "When you go to a club at 4 in the morning, and you're just waiting, waiting, a 600-pounder looks like J. Lo. And to me this is Jennifer Lopez right here. It's 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. So, Nationals: Jennifer Lopez to me."

"I would like to be a starter, but it's like my father said: 'You want Jennifer Lopez, but does she want you? No.' You just take whatever she is giving to you. So I just take whatever they give to me," Tavarez said. "They give to me as a long man, I take it as a long man. Set up man, I take it. Starter, I take it. I can do whatever."

Still an apt quote to this day obviously.

With as many teams as you root for I'd think you had that response more than once.

Hasn't pitched too poorly considering his lack of arm strength. He's a very cost-effective #5 starter next year.

What?

Capuano is a STUD. 8.13 K/9, 2.56 BB/9 on the season.

Him and Niese are the only two guys who should be back in next year's rotation.

Someone with an ERA+ of 82 is a stud??

Give me a break. Yeah he gives you innings... Not very good ones though.

Yeah but he's a free agent. If the Mets really want him back, make an offer.

I thought these were the kind of situations that Alderson lived for... Who knows what he could get from a clearly desperate Theo.

Mets honored Pete Flynn, been apart of the Mets grounds-crew since 1961. Nice ceremony. Tom Seaver sent his a nice message too, now its time to play ball!

He'll look great next year when the Mets actually decide to do something about their defense.

Pagan is gone. Wright should be traded. Duda won't be starting. If there is a god Jason Bay will decide to retire. Justin Turner won't plague this roster anymore.

I'd be cool with Capuano back in a Mets uniform next year. Anybody but Dillon Gee or Mike Pelfrey really is an upgrade.

Pagan is gone, Wright will be here, Duda will be starting, Bay will be the starting CF, and Turner will be starting if Reyes walks.

Honestly, I don't care about who's the 5th starter. Team isn't going to be in the hunt for anything either way.

$10 mil for Ozzie over 4 years.

Really Jerry, you couldn't give him that? Fucking really? If you really love your team that much you should of let Kenny go when he offered. Fucking a.

The Mets wouldn't trade Capuano because the Red Sox weren't willing to trade any players in return. They just wanted to essentially buy his contract.

As they should. Mets are such a joke. Literally can't get anything right.

Wait, you're actually upset he isn't back? I would be dancing in the streets that the clown is gone.

I will never get Ozzie hate. He's a character, always has something to say and isn't afraid to say it and is quite competent at his actual job. He's one of the few legitimately interesting managers left in baseball.

Who hates Ozzie? Reading through MLB.com and ESPN.com user comments, there's a ton of love out there.

I love him. I would hate him if he were my manager but getting to watch him from afar is awesome.

Ozzie should fit nicely in Florida, hes used to playing in front of 14 people.

And of course the cardinals get to play the astros while the braves play the phillies :(

I guess Ill have to root for arizona and brewers this year

Don't blame the schedule when you got your clocks cleaned head to head.

no doubt its the braves own fault for this mess, but still it would be nice to play the astros 18 times a year.

Well the nationals are a better team this year and its not like the marlins have not been competitive in a lot of those years. Anyway, my point still stands, i don't like the unbalanced schedule especially when it comes to the wild card. Some teams get to play weaker teams while others player stronger teams.

Also, the indians play in the American League Central, so i'm not sure how much you can talk.

Like the Braves not having to play the Red Sox or the Yankees this year!

Braves went 1-5 against the Cardinals. Should be 4-2. Check this out:

4/29 vs. STL: Braves lead 3-2 in the 9th, Kimbrel blows it, Cardinals win in 11.
4/30 vs. STL: Braves lead 2-0 in the 8th, Venters blows it, Cardinals win in 9th off Kimbrel.
9/9 @ STL: Braves lead 3-1 in the 9th, Kimbrel blows it, Cardinals win in 10.

All of those really fucking sting now. If they just win ONE of those games, they clinch on Friday night when the Cardinals lost.
