Will have to drive carefully on trip; Mets only reimburse for gas at a downhill rate. Will try to coast all the way to FL.

Not baseball related, but Flyers' fans boo anti-cancer ad because of the players in it.

3-3 with a homer and 2 walks. Now, if he can do that every game for the rest of his career, he might be decent.

Down 20 runs with CC Sabathia on the mound, 11 year old left fielder Vaughn Bergen was caught dancing in left field and he admits to also dancing in the dugout. Obviously he is not mature enough to play baseball and he clearly doesn't care. Much like Derek Anderson who was caught laughing while his Arizona Cardinals were losing last year, Vaughn has shown his childishness in these serious moments. While he was crying at one point, the fact that he stopped and came to the realization that losing a game isn't the end of the world, is frankly disgusting. And don't get me started about how the dancing was showing up the other team. All in all, this was just disgraceful.

We miss you Carlos.

Even in a list of suck, the Mets get disrespected. This is a list of the highest paid bench warmers in sports (and they include the just released Milton Bradley), and not a mention of Oliver Perez! I mean seriously, this team can't get recognition for anything.

This is what I got out of it:

"Therefore, a reasonably insane Mets fan can assume that Flores should be good for a .311/.383/.542 production throughout his team-controlled seasons, presumably beginning in mid-2012."

And here's their Top 10 for us

Prediction: Giants go 84-78 next season

I was just looking on FanGraphs at the top center fielder's by WAR over the past 3 years. I was shocked when I saw that Beltran wasn't on the list, as seen in the link above. I then realized he's been injured the past two season, so I clicked "all players," and there he is! The second best player at his position in the past 3 years without even playing enough games to qualify 2 full seasons.

But he sucks and was a huge waste of money.

Not only do they ignore the fantastic mustache of Keith Hernandez, they outright mock it! I've lost all faith in humanity.

After tonight's 3-3 with a walk, Puello now has a slash line of .299/.383/.368/.751. The .69 ISO isn't pretty, but at 19 he's shown he can hit and draw some walks. A 6.9% BB% is more that decent for someone his age at his level, even his K% has come down from 22.9% in Kingsport to 16.9% this year. And of course, his biggest strength as a player is his speed, 45 for 54 in stolen bases, good for an 83.3% success rate. He has a strong arm and good speed, Toby Hyde says he has power, just that it hasn't translated in game yet, solid discpline and is still young. If he played center (which he's probably capable of) his value would be considerably higher, but he's still probably top 5 in our organization right now.

Just thought some people might be interested in seeing this.

Here's a fun fact:
Milledge - .313 wOBA
Francoeur - .309 wOBA

And, while this is arbitrary, since Milledge's terrible April and Francoeur's excellent April, their slash lines look like this:
Milledge - .288/.369/.404/.773
Francoeur - .251/.291/.354/.645

TRAID DAVID WRONG!!!!!!!

If Michael Barrett doesn't get us to the World Series, I don't know what will. For those that don't remember, he was above average for 3 seasons (2004-2006) putting up 2.6, 3.1, and 2.7 WAR seasons.

Havens got pinch hit for in the top of the third. I haven't been able to find any info, but I can't imagine it's good news for the injury prone second baseman.

2-3 with a double for St. Lucie. What was his injury this time?

I knew about the radio comments, but did anyone see this video? He probably still regrets not trading David Wright for Juan Cruz Jr.

See what happens when you don't walk on his mound?

ESPN asked 20 questions to 100 anonymous players one of which being who is the best player and most overrated player in baseball. The answers just prove how little these guys know about their own sport.

Over at Sickel's website he put up a community projection for Fernando. So if anyone wants, go post what you think he'll do this season in the Majors.
