I think I'm done doing the Simons thing. Doesn't make much sense to do it in this format.

Lots of love Simons, thinking of you.

One last Simons and that will be the end of it.

SIMONS!

SD signed Hairston to 1 yr $2.13M deal. Marlins give Uggla $7.8M on one year contract. Mets travel to LA to see Sheetst throw today...or so the story goes. That's the news boys and girls!

Ah because the best team to handle a pitcher still rehabbing after taking a year off from the game is the Mets right?

[lucienlc]

Does anyone else think the *imminent* signing of Bengy Molina went on hold because of the gafuffle between the Mets and Boras? We haven't heard a word about it since the Beltran story broke, despite it being an *any day now* thing just before that.

[sheadenizen]

hi Luci...I don't think that. This 'any day now story' was going on for weeks before the Beltran fiasco. But I love the word gafuffle.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Morning Geeks. We sign someone fat, old, and useless yet?

[lucienlc]

Morning, Lunk.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't wipe out tracking cookies when Norton tells me they're there? That doesn't wipe out regular cookies, does it?

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Morning Geeks. We sign someone fat, old, and useless yet?

Calling Bengie fat, old and useless is an insult to fat, old and useless people.

[lucienlc]

Mike Francessa took off yesterday. Maybe he was having a physical to become the Mets' new catcher?

Feel free to. Those cookies only exist to track your web habits. They dont affect your website browsing. Norton knows the difference.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Calling Bengie fat, old and useless is an insult to fat, old and useless people.

Maybe if we signed him, they'd eat him. Wouldn't that void the contract?


Mike Francessa took off yesterday. Maybe he was having a physical to become the Mets' new catcher?

With all the shit he slings, we should sign him to be our #2 starter.

[Lunkwill Fook]

By the way MFBS, great game Sunday. It's so maddening how they can be so good one day and so tragically bad the next.

[lucienlc]

Thanks, Lunk. It's appalling how many of them accumulate. Before I upgraded Norton, it used to say I only had one each time it scanned. Since the upgrade, I seem to acquire dozens or more.

Speaking of which, my computer seems to have resolved its conflict on its own somehow. It suddenly one day finished loading Norton properly and stopped sending me blue screens and crashing. (shrug) I don't understand computers at all.

Odd. Maybe Norton downloaded an update that specifically fixed your issue. Who knows? Just thank the computer gods, I suppose.

Yeah, one of those games where if you there for the first time you'd be a fan for life (or until you saw how the Rangers usually play). Out of everyone that scored, hopefully this kick starts Gaborik again. Dubi and Cally are streaky players at this stage of their careers so you take what you can get from them when they're scoring. When Gaborik is on a cold streak it basically kills their entire attack.

Despite all the positives from the offense, guys willing to throw down, etc. Rozsival still managed to have a piss poor game. He completely lost his check on Cammalleri for the 1st goal and took 2 penalties while the game was still in doubt - his 1st penalty being the one that Cally scored his great SHG - yet he never misses a shift. Aside from the pipe dream of moving the pieces to get another bona fide sniper, they just need to bite the bullet on a few guys that are in and out of the roster and bring up a 7th D so they can sit whichever one of Rozi and Redden are playing worst at the time.

[Lunkwill Fook]

We HAVE a 7th D?

[Lunkwill Fook]

Oh, yeah, and I noticed Rozy getting beaten by Cammy. The best part is, they tried the same play again later only Callahan was shadowing Cammy and Callahan totally tied his stick up like you're supposed to do.

[Dep]

being back at work is the suxorzzzzzzzzzz

[Lunkwill Fook]

.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

We HAVE a 7th D?

Heikennen, Sanguinetti, Potter, anyone. They have Matt Dandaneault on the AHL roster. Not a great choice but he could certainly eat up some minutes every game playing more competently than either of those two ass clowns.

[Dep]

that video is nuts

i would have just started knocking people over. MAKE ME LOOK BAD WILL YA?

I heard they name you to the Olympic team for plays like that. I don't recall ever seeing other NY-based wingers showing that sort of defensive awareness lately, maybe even in NJ, but certainly not east of NYC.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Yeah, I'd love to see Heikennen back up. Kid looks like a guy that positions himself well and isn't afraid to take the body. Rozy or Redden would be playing acceptably, I think, if they even showed a GLIMPSE of the offensive ability they used to have.

[Dep]

yea i made a thread on le king

hahah Can we insult the Islanders after DP shut outs the Devils 4-0?

[Rave]

I personally prefer ‘kerfuffle’.

King Felix agrees to multi-year deal. Evil Empires I and II goes in mourning, rest of baseball celebrates. Your turn, Twins.

Devils suck.

Sure, I hate making excuses for the Devils but they went out west after they played the Rangers played a few games and their first game back on the East coast was another road game, during the day.

[Lunkwill Fook]

The Rangers have surrendered two goals in 13 three-on-five (9:19) attempts, and are seven of eight (6:47) when three-on-four.

That's actually ridiculously good.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Frenchy n mets reached a deal. fuck the mets. time to root for the pirates

Ummm... what kind of deal?

[Dep]

just a single year deal

but they gave him $5M

just another microcosm for the disaster that is the new york mets.

there's no way in hell he should have gotten that.

$5M for a guy likely to be replacement level, at best.

WHAT A DEAL

[Dep]

Mets hall of fame to add Strawberry, Gooden, Davey Johnson and Frank Cashen - first inductees since 2002. .

[John]

From Metsblog.

In a video segment for NESN.com, Peter Gammons said the Red Sox and Jason Bay agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension last June.

However, after Bay took his physical, ‘an MRI showed a problem with both knees, Ownership then wanted to pay two years, he had to prove his health to make it four years and he wouldn’t sign.’

[Dep]

Olney: Minaya was never given a budget
Quote:
Part of the unusual nature of the Mets' offseason has been the fact that general manager Omar Minaya has never been given a budget. As the baseball operations powers have been evaluating possible strategies, the executives haven't been able to cast these choices against the context of how much money is available. On almost all teams, the talent evaluators are given a budget and then paint within those lines, dispersing the dollars according to the needs. The Mets' front office, on the other hand, is making its recommendations to Jeff Wilpon on a case-by-case basis, without knowing whether it is yet bumping up against a financial ceiling, or knowing how to prioritize the current needs for pitching or catching. "You need to start with a budget," said one talent evaluator. "And then you work from there. This really makes it much more difficult." In many cases, Wilpon has been the lead negotiator for the Mets this offseason, and not Omar Minaya, which has reinforced the belief in some corners of the organization that Minaya is one extended losing streak removed from being fired. The Mets will be among the teams that scouts Ben Sheets today, writes Anthony McCarron. .

that's why the red sox offered him 4 years again at the end of the season

time for grandpa gammons to take his medz and shut the fuck up, you drooling old geezer

[John]

lol true

tho given the mets medicial staff would it really surprise you if bay ends up having issues with his knees? lol

[Rave]

You almost gave me a heart attack, dep.

$5 million to avoid arbitration isn't too bad. He won't get that in a non-Dayton open market, but arbitration uses service time comparables more heavily than performance. The Mets uses a formula anyway and has been known to stick to it. The only time they lost was to Ollie. Should have been a warning right there.

[C Low's Doppelganger]

Rex Ryan is God

[Dep]

lol true

tho given the mets medicial staff would it really surprise you if bay ends up having issues with his knees? lol

of course not, but that's a seperate issue

i'm still waiting for Bay to sign with Beiruit

anyone who takes a Gammons report on anything involving the red sow at face value is a sucker n moron

If they learn to play for 40 mins.

Seriously you cannot go up double digits on everyone and then let teams back into it only to pull out a close one in the end.

I mean when they gators in football are up 25-30, do they ever let a team comeback? lol

Cal's right...our guys have a will to win. But IMO they lack killer instinct

[Dep]

What round will UK choke in March!?!??!

get your money down now!

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

That's actually ridiculously good.

Yeah, kind of the opposite of 10 years ago where they had good PPs and lousy PK. Their PK problems led to the signings of Mike Keane and Brian Skrudland. And then trading for Jarri Kurri and whatever else went wrong after 1997.

[John]

lol. The NCAA is tricky.........you meet one hot team, your done lol.

I think we definitely have the talent to win it all, whether we do so or not is an entirely different story.

But we went to the NIT last season. All I can ask is that we are put in his position on a daily basis..........we'll win 1 or 2 that way lol

No they suck. Well, they ARE sucking wind, plus Elias is out with a probable concussion, but they haven't played well in a while, including the Rangers game. They badly need Martin and Clarkson back.

[C Low's Doppelganger]

Daily News told a story that one of the assistant coaches saw Rex walk into his hotel room late one night with a large pizza. He asked Rex "I thought you were on a diet?" Rex responded that it was for his son and wife who were sharing a room with him and that he ate earlier.

The next morning the assistant bumped into Rex's son in the hotel lobby and asked him how the pizza was last night. Rex's son replied "What pizza?"

HAHAHAHA

Why not sign Maine to a 1 year $10M deal? might as welll

just giving out money to fuckin BUMS

mets are so god damn stupid. they deserve to lose forever

cant wait to add up Cora, Frenchydouche and whatever other pieces of shit Omar gives real money to

Cora + Frenchy = 7M for 0WAR
throw in Castillo n Ollie and we might be near $20M for 0 WAR

OMAR! METS! WILPONS!

[QUOTE=John;4683]Maybe its a good thing./QUOTE]

How much do you think Frenchy should receive in arb, dep?

The Fishies just gave Uggla $7.8m. I just don’t think one year arb figures are that big of a deal.

Yay, No Molina!

[John]

the opposite of good management

Right but that same management put together 2006. So I know there has to be SOMEONE that knows what they are doing up there lol

The Fishies just gave Uggla $7.8m. I just don’t think one year arb figures are that big of a deal.

Yay, No Molina!

not 5M, that's for sure

it just shows how far off the mets valuation skills are....and if the # had to be 5M, then frenchy should have been gone that much more

we can talk again when he's OPS sub 700 in July and playing below average D and getting paid 5M to perform at replacement level

[Lunkwill Fook]

If you call Omar, maybe he'll give you a $7 million contract to keep posting good things about the Mets.

[Dep]

Right but that same management put together 2006. So I know there has to be SOMEONE that knows what they are doing up there lol

luck dude. simple luck

2006 was an outlier, been saying it for years.

Stache, ND, LoDuca all played well above their heads...the pitching came together, our stars stayed healthy till the end, everything lucked out. been paying for it since

[Lunkwill Fook]

If it's any consolation, CHONE has Frenchy at being worth $4.9 million this season.

Marty Noble of MLB.com thinks the Mets should reassess their need for free-agent 1B Carlos Delgado, now that OF Carlos Beltran will miss at least the first month of the season.

According to Noble, “There are more right-handed starters than left-handed starters, so it would be an asset to have genuine power in the middle of the order while Beltran is rehabbing.”

Last night in the Puerto Rican Winter League, Delgado was 0 for 1, but he walked twice and scored a run, while acting as his team’s designated hitter.

According to Douglas Price, on Twitter, Delgado hit a 385–foot pop out to the warning track in right-center field; and, though he later scored on a double, he looked sluggish around the bases.

Delgado, who has just one hit in his last 11 at bats, is batting .280 this winter with a .379 OBP, with one extra base hit and two RBI in eight games.

Speaking of winter ball…

Free-agent 1B Michel Abreu, who played the last three seasons in the Mets minor-league organization, was named the Puerto Rican Winter League MVP, during which he hit .351 with 12 HR and 42 RBI in 36 games for Arecibo.

[Ed in Westchester]

Re - Frenchy

It coulda been worse.
Coulda been a 3 year contract.
At least if he sucks this year, he probably won't be back in 2011.

[Dep]

dont forget, we wouldnt pay Bobby Abreu $5M last season cuz we had DANIEL MURPHY IN LF.

well of course not, they don't hang out in fruit bars.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Basically our games are a contrast of two systems. My total # of passes and shots usually are double of Dep's because I work the puck around the outside and go for deflections or rebounds. Dep brings the puck up ice and tries to pull the D out of position and set up a far post-cross crease pass to slam home. On defense I try to push the players to the outside and stick lift or pin the guy along the boards and rarely try to line up a big hit. Dep tries to run my players through the glass.

Both seem to work in their own way, I just tend to dominate face offs and ultimately puck possession and that usually decides the difference.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Lol at dude at the table across from me talking to his friend "Yeah, I've been a fan of yuengling since it came out a couple yrs ago..

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHdumbass

[Lunkwill Fook]

well of course not, they don't hang out in fruit bars.

Ooooooh, right to the homosexual claims. Touche Tim, you giant knobwanker.

[Chris in Ga]

That was why my friend had me look at the resumes bc he saw what they looked like when they applied. no photos. When I used to hire interns at investment firm i worked at, some people included pictures. they never got called. lmao

[Tim]

hey should i buy the nhl 2010 or 09...big differ?

[Chris in Ga]

The thing is, yuengling has been here for at least 8 or 9 yrs cause my bro in law had it in his fridge when i turned 21 while visiting my family

[Lunkwill Fook]

hey should i buy the nhl 2010 or 09...big differ?

Board work is greatly changed. Not much else really. But definitely get 10, no reason to go back in time.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

hey should i buy the nhl 2010 or 09...big differ?

NHL10, that way you can join Dep and I for some epic battles. Plus I believe they made the Blues decent in this year's game.

[Chris in Ga]

i heard something bout kovelchuk being on the block

[sheadenizen]

Isn't yeungling the oldest brewery in America?

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Board work is greatly changed. Not much else really. But definitely get 10, no reason to go back in time.

You have to aim passing a lot more in 10, but if you didn't play 09 then it won't really mean much.

[Lunkwill Fook]

i heard something bout kovelchuk being on the block

Yeah, apparently they can't work out a new contract.

[Dep]

no no, buy NHL09

so you can have 2 copies.

smh.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Isn't yeungling the oldest brewery in America?

That's what the bottles say.

[peejay]

I also met Willie McGee this weekend....let me say that he is STUNNING in person....thought I was staring into the eyes of Taye Diggs

is it true he used to have a chin and it eroded from frequent and repetitive contact with jack clark's nut sack?

[Tim]

NHL10, that way you can join Dep and I for some epic battles. Plus I believe they made the Blues decent in this year's game.

i might play as the hawks....anybody see that great shootout between them and the wings.....bertuzzi's SO move was sick....for a lumber douche.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

i heard something bout kovelchuk being on the block

If he does get traded. I assume he's going to LA. A lot of teams would be willing to back the truck up for him but most can't pay his presumed salary demands. LA has cap space and good enough raw talent to send in return. And they have a very good top end center that should fit well with Kovie.

[Tim]

is it true he used to have a chin and it eroded from frequent and repetitive contact with jack clark's nut sack?

maybe, or perhaps it was eroded by the wind due to the blazing triples he so often achieved off of the mets....either way, it was like looking into the eyes of god.

[Tim]

lunk i just cannot get into using the FAL in mw2.....I have the launcer and reddot unolocked...get better with better sights?

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

i might play as the hawks....anybody see that great shootout between them and the wings.....bertuzzi's SO move was sick....for a lumber douche.

I think Oshie and Backes in that game are good. As is Erik Johnson. In my 2nd season of my dynasty mode David Perron is one of the leading goal scorers. I don't really play against them that much in dynasty mode so I can't tell you which players actually perform well but I'm sure they'll be decent in online mode.

[Tim]

lunk i just cannot get into using the FAL in mw2.....I have the launcer and reddot unolocked...get better with better sights?

launcer that is

[peejay]

jack clark keeps it real

"A lot of them should be banned from baseball, including Mark McGwire," said Clark, a four-time All-Star. "All those guys are cheaters — A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez). Fake, phony. Rafael Palmeiro. Fake, a phony. (Roger) Clemens, (Barry) Bonds. (Sammy) Sosa. Fakes. Phonies. They don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

"They should all be in the Hall of Shame. They can afford to build it. They've all got so much money. And they could all go there and talk about the next way to rub something on your skin. The whole thing is creepy. They're all creeps. All these guys have been liars."

Referring to some of the admitted steroids users' tearful apologies, Clark said, "They're not really a man's man. They're just whimpering boys who are just sad to watch. They try to put it off on somebody else. I don't know how they sleep at night, looking at all their fame, let alone the money they took by faking everybody out and lying to everybody. ...

"I don't know. I'd rather take my 340 home runs (11 seasons of at least 20) legitimately instead of taking that stuff to be phony."

Clark insists commissioner Bud Selig and Cardinals manager Tony La Russa, among others, knew more about the use of steroids 10 to 20 years ago than they are letting on.

La Russa said, "I would say I always respected the career Jack had and he's entitled to his opinion. But his comments about me are wrong."

[Tim]

shit!!! launcher

[Lunkwill Fook]

lunk i just cannot get into using the FAL in mw2.....I have the launcer and reddot unolocked...get better with better sights?

Not sure. I think it might just be one of those guns where it either works for you or it doesn't. Generally, I use ACOG on my FAL unless it's an upclose map when I use Red dot or Holographic. Honestly, if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't. Lots of people praise the M16 but I tried it for a while and I just couldn't get the hang of it.

[Tim]

no no, buy NHL09

so you can have 2 copies.

smh.

I don't know what that means depper

[Dep]

I gave you a copy of NHL09, why are you asking if you should buy it again?

I also told you about 100x to buy NHL10

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

I gave you a copy of NHL09, why are you asking if you should buy it again?

I also told you about 100x to buy NHL10

Seriously, I need to exact some revenge on the Blues. I needs to feast on some NHL10 n00b.

[Dep]

good luck with that

timmy will come on, talk shit, say he's gonna play you then go MIA till the next day and the cycle starts all over again

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

timmy will come on, talk shit, say he's gonna play you then go MIA till the next day and the cycle starts all over again

I see that's he's on just as much as I am. There's no hiding. He'll have to play at some point when he gets bored of MW2.

Home much did StLooey pay Holliday to get Rochembeau'ed by fly balls? Consider Frenchy a bargain.

[Dep]

i cannot believe we're paying $7M for frenchy n Cora

then we'll cry poverty on not bidding on something we need

at least we're cornering the market on replacement level players

i don't even hate frenchy but lol @ our mgmt's manlove for him

No, but when Sheets's agent gets a hold of that footage of Frenchy he'll immediately stop returning phone calls from the Mets, even when Omar tries to an emergency breakthrough by pretending to be the agent's ailing grandmother.

[CatchDog]

Clow;

We can do this.

You want to sit in the lower section (100 level), the Club-Suites Level (200/300 level) or you want to be on the field or a combination? Field passes require a rather entensive security check but getting buzzed in a Suite and then going down on the field for the 4th quarter is always a blast.

[John]

Did anyone ever find out who catchdog was? Lol

[Squadron Nye]

Did anyone ever find out who catchdog was? Lol

My brother just emailed me "listening to francesca, apparently the jets did not win sunday. go figure"

I so hope the Jets win it all, just so that fat fuck has a coronary trying to figure out how to explain himself.

what an incredible douchebag.

Tis a shame he already bred.

I guess C Low suddenly became a believer when he thought catchdog could help him out. lol!

So this is the bundle I am thinking of getting from Sony

KDL-55V5100

Model features: Full HD 1080p resolution, Motionflow™ 120Hz refresh rate, BRAVIA Engine™ 2, 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, BRAVIA Link ready, 7 HD Inputs (4 HDMI)

BDP-N460 Blu-Ray Player

$1,592.99

No shipping, as I can pick it up at a SonyStyle store in the mall.

Or I get the 52" set (either KDL-52VE5 or KDL-52V5100) with the same Blu-Ray for $1,349.99

Torn.

Halle Berry on the other hand was SMOKIN HOT.

What a beautiful woman.

[C Low's Doppelganger]

F Francesa. He is saying the Jets have the best D he has ever seen in the postseason. He is referring to their defense on missed FG's. F U for the 1,000,000 time you fat POS.

I guess your fat friend Parcells also had GREAT FG D to win a SB you fat f$ck!

[Athena]

Halle Berry on the other hand was SMOKIN HOT.

What a beautiful woman.

I don't think I've seen any photos of her yet. But I also don't think that I've ever seen her looking anything other than flawless.

She is always lovely.

[Ed in Westchester]

Luv your avatar Athena

[Lunkwill Fook]

Looks like a good deal to me, Ed.

[sheadenizen]

Francesa just said to Ira in Staten Island that if the Jets make the SB, he'll will make sure that Ira gets tickets. And you can guarantee he will... say what you will about the guy.

[Lunkwill Fook]

Hot damn.

I got a similar bundle with a 46" + Blu Ray. Finally got it mounted on the wall this weekend with the Bose system. Was debating yesterday whether to run a clip of Apocalypse Now scene with Ride of Valkyries to really blast out the system but I don't have the DVD nor was it on demand. TV is nice, don't own any Blu Rays DVDs so I can't speak to the quality of the player but it's a good overall deal.

[Ed in Westchester]

Looks like a good deal to me, Ed.

yeah. the blu-ray isn't wifi enabled, you have to buy something else to get that, but frankly, I don't care, I don't have Netflix.

Went to the mall Saturday, and outside of the sony store they had "Up" on in Blu-Ray. The wife and girls watched while I went inside to look around. i came out to get her and she said "you are right, we have to get bluray". Glorious.

They had a 3-D TV going. Neat, but not worth the $$$ imo.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Sheridan named the new inside linebacker coacj of the Dolphins.

Inside LB coach? This is getting ridiculous. I think it's to the point where players are over-coached. Don't you think it's better to have a HC, OC, DC? You kind of need a unifying voice.

[MyFavBaseballSquadron]

Christina Hendricks beats Halle.

For the globes? Certainly, she's pretty impossible to beat unless you get a hold of the Cream or the Clear or the dow-Corning Saline. Looks-wise, tough to argue against the former Mrs. Justice.

[sheadenizen]

I would let Sheridan teach my dog to "sit," but that's just me.

I think Lunk and I have shared similar thoughts about how the ladies in our life are hesitant to spend $ on electronics and premium A/V equipment until they realize what the difference is. Case in point, even though I had the Bose in my old apartment, I never really turned it up to it's fullest extent lest I piss off the neighbors through the paper thin drywall. But now that I have it set up in the house I get the "it's like being in a movie theater" comments.

The WiFi really is all about getting updates and web content which some Blu Ray DVDs use. Also, it allows for upgrade of BluRay firmware. Not a big loss, really.

It's one man's opinion and in reality you know it's not even his opinion. He's just doing it to get all the calls. I think it's pretty funny. He plays the same game with Mets fans and they too fall for it. Shame on all of you. lol!

I emailed my brother the same thing. He does it to the Jets and Mets.

still, he is an asshole.

[Storkinator]

I haven't been listening. What's the Fran man been saying? Talking about how lucky they were to have faced back-to-back underachieving opponents? Opponents who practically handed the Jets their victories? Giving no credit to the Jets for taking advantage of two teams (Chargers in particular) who didn't play up to their potential? Just shitting all over the Jets in general? Somthin like that?

[Ed in Westchester]

The best was when I explained to the wife last night that the 55" TV was 5/8" too big for the present TV cabinet (it would hang over the ends about 1/4" each side/

She said "well, I don't want a TV to be too big for the cabinet. Maybe we should just buy a new one."

I nearly cried tears of joy.
