Condolences For Rick Peterson From Special K

Hey Rick, I would like to express my sincerest condolences at your firing. You have been an unbelievably important part of my life, and I would not be where I am today without all your efforts. I really thought you were eloquent in your comments this afternoon. The way you articulated how challenges often bring [...] more...

Let’s Not And Say We Did

We could talk about the Mets, but they are more of a tease than Kelly, the half Puerto Rican, half Dominican stripper at Scandal’s that we met on Wednesday night. Seriously, she’s good. She works Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Go check her out. Unlike the Mets she won’t leave your bases loaded, she comes through [...] more...

An Interview With The Mets’ Sexiest Fan, Kelly Ripa

By now most of you have heard the radio commercials the Mets have been running featuring soap opera star, talk show host, and MILF extraordinaire Kelly Ripa. The commercials involve Ripa proclaiming her love for the Mets by showing she will be more obnoxious than you at the game. Using our extensive media contacts, as [...] more...

Hot Stove Reports: MABTS Exclusive

Sources close to the Mets confirm that the Mets may or may not be close to a deal with the Orioles for pitcher Erik Bedard. Likewise, these same sources confirm that the Mets may or may not have enough to trade for Johan Santana, only time will tell. This inside sources also passed along this [...] more...

What About This Trade?

I think we should make a Pedro/Beltran aggressive move for Johan Santana. i.e. overpay, before even getting to overpay on the contract. Consider this: Mets: Hi, Minnesota? Minny: Hi, Mets? Mets: yeah, how you doing? Minny: Ok. Could use some more money. And a heatwave right about now. But it’s all good. You see Adrian [...] more...

The Recurring Nightmare Of A Head-First Slide

There is a recurring nightmare I’ve been having. It’s one where a Mets player slides into a base head first, and breaks his face. Ok, maybe not his face. But the player breaks a finger, or one of the many bones in the hand, or hurts his shoulder, or neck, or something else horrible. Last [...] more...

An Unfunny Funny Late-Show Appearance

Did you know the Mets were recently featured during the “Top Ten” segment on The Late Show with David Letterman? Me either. Adam Rubin on his Mets blog has the top ten: THE “LATE SHOW” TOP TEN“Things You Never Knew About the New York Mets” 10. Catcher Paul Lo Duca: “Team forfeited Sunday’s game because [...] more...

Mets Kill Time During Intermission Of Day/Night Doubleheader

With the Mets taking the first game of the day/night double header against the Washington Nationals what will Mets players do to kill time between games. Let’s find out. “Podemos ir al titty bar por un rato.” “Buscame esa rubia sentado en el bleachers.” Translation: “Go get me the blonde sitting in the bleachers.” “I’m [...] more...

The Importation Of Hustle

That’s Hilary Swank. She’s a famous actress who has used her bizarrely androgynous look to play women who either were pretending to be men, or doing manly things. That has nothing to do with this post, but the picture is great because it shows the superficiality cess-pool that is Los Angeles. Celebrities arriving in the [...] more...

See The Ball, Be The Ball, Hit The Ball

Look at the swing. Look at the concentration. Eyes on the ball, going the other way with a pitch on the outside part of the plate. If only Shawn Green could play every game against the Dodgers. The Mets are currently 2-2 on this seven game west coast trip. That’s .500 ball. Gotta love it. [...] more...
