Jose Reyes out 2-8 weeks while recovering from whatever ridiculous thyroid problem he has.
I think Feva and I are in for another long one...2010 has 2009 written all over it.
2009 was better than 2008 and 2007, so you have that going for you...which is nice
Love how he's saying its not his Thyroids, its aids from your gorilla man you married idiot
09' was bad. 07' and 08' were worse. 06' was even worse than those.
i really feel bad for die-hard & feva. both good guys. ok not so much but they are good guys.
Speaking of which, is Feva alive?
thought he posted yesterday ? ???
Both of those fools deserve what they get for rooting for the mets. In fact their sports polygamy might be causing the eagles continued failure. farg them. Chose a side.

Chris Coste will save the day.
And Kelvim Escobar. Wait, has he even thrown a ball yet this spring?
haaa rome, that was classic.
jose reyes' vagina is inflated and johan santana is seconds away from throwing his elbow out.
add on a disinterested carlos beltran and david wright 3000 miles away from his poontag buddy erin andrews and you have another stellar season from the utter filth that makes up this mongoloid-filled fanbase.
at what?

"The Phillies have done great, I understand," Francouer said. "But, God, they have not had the injury bug. Not one guy has been out the last two years. Bless them, I'm not praying for them to be hurt, that's great. But you feel it's got to kick up sometime."

Unidentified teammate says Mets have 'babied' Jose Reyes
By Andy Behrens
In professional sports – or at any level of any sport, really – you don't want to be compared to a baby. If that happens, you probably aren't being flattered. You don't want to be accused of babying anything, or of being babied. You don't want to be caught watching "Three Men and a Baby." You don't want anyone to overhear you singing "Baby I'm-a Want You."
Baby = not good.
So the recent comments made to the New York Post by an unnamed member of the Mets could potentially lead to friction:
On a day [Jose] Reyes appeared in a minor league exhibition game against the Cardinals – his most extensive action since returning last Wednesday from an overactive thyroid – one Mets player told The Post there is a prevailing feeling in the clubhouse that the shortstop is being "babied" because the organization fears a potential public relations hit should the shortstop reinjure his hamstring.
Reyes, of course, only appeared in 36 games last season due to hamstring troubles, and he was literally confined to a couch for two weeks this spring because of the thyroid issue. He's expected to hit lead-off for the Mets, whenever they allow him to do something more than participate in minor league games at half-speed.
As the unidentified player told the Post's Mike Puma, "You can get hurt as easily playing [a minor league exhibition] as playing on opening day."
There's a massive difference in talent between Reyes and his understudy, Alex Cora, so it's easy to understand the frustration expressed by the mystery Met. New York is substantially more dangerous (and entertaining) with Reyes on the field. Of course he's also a speed-dependent player, so if there's any ongoing reason to be concerned about his hamstrings, perhaps he should be babied just a little. Out of respect to Reyes, however, we should consider using a different term.
"Indulged?"
"Mollycoddled?"
"Protected-as-if-he-were-a-$9-million-asset?"
Suggestions are encouraged, as are your projections for Reyes' 2010 season...

I still have a boner from yesterday's game. Once the Phils dropped 9 in the 4th, the Mets just totally gave up and mailed it in for that game. And that is what made yesterday so awesome. The monster inning was great, but watching give up immediately after was just farging priceless.
Watching the reactions from the Mets fans in the house was fairly awesome too.
Who the farg does Rod Barajas think he is lately?

john maine is a habitual liar.....
Quote
Dan Warthen, on pulling John Maine after five pitches during last night's start said:
"I just didn't think John Maine had enough to compete tonight... When he's throwing that way (80 mph), then there's got to be something incorrect in that arm, something has to be feeling bad. John is a habitual liar, in a lot of ways, as far as his own health. He's competitor and a warrior and he wants to go out and pitch, but we have to be smart enough to know this guy is not right and the ball isn't coming out of his hand correctly... John is always one who can step it up during the game. Talking to him in the bullpen he convinced me he could go out and compete. Watching him warm up pitches, and then watching the first hitter, I just wasn't convinced... He's angry... He is a warrior... but, we have to think of every one on the team."
Athletes are smart.
He's a warrior
He's a soldier.
99% of athletes are going to say they are good to go even if they aren't. I think Maine is a pretty good pitcher and calling him a habitual liar because he says he's good enough to pitch is probably not the best way to handle it. Instead, maybe you should just not let him pitch when you see him topping out at 80mph during warmups.

This year, no I can't say I've even seen a single inning. But historically he's had pretty good stuff when healthy.
he really hasnt...even his one good stretch was a mirage....much like kyle kendrick
Just this once, I'll defer to your opinion on this one because you've probably seen the Mets and Maine a lot more than I have in recent years.

I had a plethora of Mets fans talking shtein to me all week long.

gallardo cg w TUNDERLIPS APPROVES
your dumb ass friend could be the worst fantasy player ever
he keeps telling me how dumb everyone in the league is
he is 2nd place though his offense is putrid and pitching numbers are average. perhaps he will fall down to earth.
though let me say after hitting like .400 last week vs. you i am hitting below .200 this week against sunmo. sorry, little guy. one week too late to beat me 15-0.
ummm hes in sixth place as we stand now...behind me even...and he just made a colossally stupid trade
i was going off as of the last final week
that trade i didnt think was so bad.
youre joking right....the best three players in the trade all were given up by him...ian kinsler shouldnt even be on a team so he gave up butler jimmy and zito for gonzalez
it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever
he needs run producers, kinsler and gonzalez hit in the middle of the order and he has pitching
not saying i would pull the plug but i dont think its awful
anyway with or without the trade sunmos team is terrible and my boy just made his team worse
why are you whining
if he just traded butler for gonzalez he loses
so what does he do?
he trades butler zito and jimmy for gonzalez
makes perfect sense
i repeat if your "analysis" is dead on then you should be giddy
he's the only guy making trades so i like him...plus i have hof utley and casey maghee so i don't need 2b at all...win for me
this week looks like a loss for you
and your boy looks like a farging icehole
holy shtein, no one cares about your fantasy baseball team
I picked up that Hoyda Rod barajas.
Good, guaranteed he finishes out the season hitting below the Mendoza line.
Sarge Jr was DFAed

I think he'd prefer to read about Johan's ejaculations.
lol....NY Newsday or one of those rags up there is reporting that acquiring Cliff Lee is a top priority for the Mets.
That would be a kick in the sack
Thats all WFAN has been saying too..shtein, if the Mets can get him for Mejia and another prospect, do it...even if he will leave after this season.
Too bad they have no farm system..
If Omar can get creative, perhaps he can swing a 3-teamer. I hope not. His brain capacity is not very large, so I doubt he can engineer anything other than a $36M deal for Ollie Perez.
But holy shtein would that suck.
Signing Ollie to that contract was clearly Adam Rubins fault.
Maybe Tony Bernazard needs to take his shirt off and get his "FIGHT ME NOW!" shtein on.
Heard that shtein about Lee too. According to Stark the Mets don't have much to give up.

Jay is right on 2 fronts..
1. It was a bad call. Ishikawa was clearly safe, but to be fair, the 3rd base ump made an equally as bad call on a ball that he called foul that clearly wasnt that ended up extending the at bat.
2. KRod is almost as annoying as Todd when someone announces they have an available Eagles ticket. Watching the game w my cousin yesterday, I said (and he agreed), having Armando Benitez was better - you knew he was gonna blow 8 or so games a year, but at least you didnt have to put up with that god-awful schtick after every save.
Speaking of Benitez, I had no idea he was still in baseball. But apparently he was toiling around in the Marlins minors because they released him a few days ago.

its rape vs. consensual and her jazz stained panties would indicate that since if it was rape hed either finish off inside her or off to the side

what a fun time watching mets fans at the game sunday celebrating after the 1st inning like the game was over.
The best thing about Mets fans is they think they're still relevant. I was at the Johan Santana/Shane Vic GS game and there was some 5'3 130 lbs. Mets fan talking smack the first few innings. Even the young kids around us were laughing at him because he was putting so much effort into getting a reaction but was failing miserably.
the one mets fan near us was wearing a cowboys hat. (not the football team) - looked like a piss poor attempt at looking like billy the exterminator.

unbelievable comments by the tranny....
The Mets believe that concentration lapses are what caused Reyes' recent struggles on defense, which include two errors in a game last week in Atlanta and another costly error Sunday in Philadelphia. Reyes, though, disagreed and seemed miffed that is what his bosses believe.
But then, in a twist that could only happen in a Mets season, the shortstop admitted to occasional mental slips on defense.
"I don't know what they see," Reyes said. "I play shortstop one way. I never try to change anything. It's hard to get ready for every pitch because how many pitches does the pitcher throw to home plate? A hundred and something? It's hard to get ready on every pitch. I try to do my best."
He added, "Maybe you are going to get lazy with two or three because it's tough to get ready all the time. It is what it is, man."
Following Reyes' tough road trip, Jerry Manuel said he would get Chip Hale, the Mets' third base coach who also handles infielders, to remind Reyes to be active and focus before each pitch. Reyes said he talks often to Hale, saying several times that Hale reminds him during games to "get ready on every pitch.
"Sometimes when I get a little lazy, he tells me to pick it up, get ready sooner."
Reyes is normally effervescent during interviews, smiling readily. But he did not smile yesterday while discussing his defense.
Asked if he was mad, Reyes said, "No, I'm OK. Chip always talks to me about that during the game and I try doing it. I made those errors in Atlanta and Philadelphia, that's not me. I can't do that. Just another thing happened. So nobody's perfect. Everybody makes a mistake.
Wow, can you imagine someone on the Phillies saying that? He'd get destroyed...by his teammates.
Athletes say smart things usually.
did that really just happen ? :sly

It's fun to be a non-Met fan. (http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=5474888)
so while the mets were in dc they scheduled a team trip to walter reed to visit soldiers injured in the war
beltran castillo and ollie were no shows
castillo giving this as his reason
"I don't like to see people like that, so I never go there," Castillo said. "Sometimes you see people with no legs, no arms. I don't like to see that."

Yeah, but the Mets are kind of like the taterskins. There's some bad karma or whatever you want to call it surrounding that team right now and no matter who they bring in to manage or play, it's not going to produce on the field.
i'll miss Omar...how can you hate someone who does this:
7/28/02: The big one: Acquired RHP Bartolo Colon and minor league RHP Tim Drew from Cleveland in exchange for 1B Lee Stevens, minor league SS Brandon Phillips, minor league LHP Cliff Lee and minor league OF Grady Sizemore. Even with the future of the franchise in question and a desire to win now, this was just too much to give up for Colon. You have to give this one to Mark Shapiro.
well, how can you hate him if he's not the GM of your team.
Yeah, but Cliff Lee sucks anyway.
LOL Mets (http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/mets/mets_owner_would_listen_wright_new_fIWfVQGypIzu9KFo3ZuYbN)
so any names out there as far possible replacements go ?
Jon Gruden
Lee Thomas and Nick Leyva
Someone from the Marlins FO name popped up.
ed wade please

ed wade please
He actually drafted pretty much all the core players that won the Phillies the World Series, but sure.
yeah, he took the info given to him by the scouts and said yeah, take that guy.
terry ryan, jon hart and sandy alderson are the first 3 that have been talked about..
wrong on the marlins - they denied the mets access to interview their guys
not that i don't enjoy watching the mets stink but i would actually like to see the phillies/mets rivalry two showcase to good teams at the same time as opposed to a couple of squads going in opposite directions.
btw - i heard that wagner said his time in philly was like a prision sentence because of the issues he had with teammates and the fanbase.
When will Wagner stop? Get over it Gladys.
vaginaitis is a serious medical issue.
True but the good thing is Hamels recovered nicely.
gotta love the phillies medical staff.

Bernie Madoff came to town
Made off with our money
Stuck our money in his hat
And called it... pasta, some kind of pasta
That's what these guys do. When they stick things in their hat, proverbial or otherwise, they always call it by a pasta name.
Now, the Mets are in this murky Madoff mire. The attorney for Madoff creditors are suing the owners of the New York Mets—Fred Wilpon, Jeff Wilpon, and Saul Katz—and the parent company of the Mets, Sterling Equities.
Let's back up and restate. The trustee, Irving Picard, for the Madoff victims (aka pigeons, scammees, and shmoos) sued Sterling Equities, trying to claw back money under the belief that Sterling received money from Madoff improperly.
In baseball terms, it's like when someone hits a home run and rounds third to see his teammates ready to greet him at home plate when the ump starts shouting something about the batter not stepping on second base.
In other words, some victims may have fared better than others, with the ones left holding the bag looking around to see another guy with a not-so-empty bag.
What I can't figure out is why people were so trusting of this Madoff guy anyway. Just like my jingle at the top of the page, didn't his name give you a clue? Someday he might have "made off" with your funds? Could he have been more obvious? How about "Charles Ponzi, Jr. Investments. We pay high interest." All I'm saying is that the surname might give you a foreshadowing, if I'm to believe my own theories.
Want a few examples? Let's go back to some of the Ponzi schemes and see who we find. When the Greater Ministries of Tampa bilked 18,000 people out of $500 million, who was in charge? Who put all these people in a world of hurt? Who made them feel like they were agony? Gerald Payne, that's who.
When a pyramid scheme crashed down on the citizens of Albania to the tune of $1.2 billion in the mid-90s, who was in charge? Who perpetuated such a fraud? Enver Hoxha! If ever you might have suspected...just a smidgen...something might be a hoax...duh!
In Costa Rica, The Brothers defrauded 6300 people out of a half-billion dollars. Again, nobody was the least suspicious even though they knew The Brothers consisted of Luis and Osvaldo Villalobos. If it's good enough for Little Red Riding Hood, why not go right into the wolf's home?
All this leads to my ongoing theory: names count. What you're tagged with might possibly foreshadow an occupation or a tendency, says a guy typing up a silly story with the name Stan Silliman.
I started building this theory when I was introduced to two Oklahoma City businessmen, the Fail brothers—Never and Will. Serious as a heart attack and in his late 60's, Never Fail was into real estate and every apartment complex he developed thrived.
Will Fail tried business after business after business...to a point he couldn't even get a bank loan.
I continued to study these circumstances and even took note when I started performing comedy in a trendy new nightlife hotspot called Bricktown. The club was called Comedy Corner and owned by a lady named Shirley Bynum.
It was near the first karaoke bar in Oklahoma City, with a book binding business behind it and the first micro-brewery in town—The Bricktown Brewery—down the block.
I wanted to double check my theory but here's the odd thing: the business owner/name tie-in existed but it was like one business off. The names were there in a sound-alike or slightly punned fashion, but they were tied to the wrong enterprises.
For instance, you remember Shirley Bynum? Well, her name had little to do with a comedy club. But her name, slightly punned, became Bind'em—which fit well with a book binding company.
But the owner of the book binding company was named Singer, which would have been a great name if you owned a karaoke bar. But the owner of the karaoke was named Brewer. You see, perfect name to own the Bricktown Brewery. However, the owner of the Bricktown Brewery was named Jester. Did I mention the Comedy Club?
Chris McGrath/Getty Images In some mysterious way, my theory still works but maybe a Fringe-type alternate universe sprang up when they started converting these old haunted warehouses into bistros and yuppie hangouts.
How does this affect the Mets, you're asking? Really? I lay out this semi-elegant theory and you're still worried about the Mets?
Here's the answer: depending on the clawback, the Mets will still be viable. Mets Limited Partnership invested $523 million with Madoff and received $568 million in return. What they lose above their profit depends on many factors, including timing and perceived favoritism.
Will the Mets come out smelling like their brand new Citi Field ballpark? After all, Sterling Equities has a reputation to uphold. They boast about it. Some might call their reputation...er... sorry...the word escapes me.
