Prediction

Pedro gets rocked in game 2.

Decisions decisions

Yankees. Or Phillies.

Yankees. Or Phillies.

I'm going Phillies for 4 reasons.
1. Can't ever pull for the Yanks (unless they're playing BlowSox or Los Bravos)
2. I actually like the Phillies players and attitudes; the Mets could use that.
3. Got to go for NL so I can stop hearing about how much better the AL is.
4. It puts pressure on Wilpon to maybe man up and clean house so his organization doesn't look like the bunch of circus clowns it is in comparison.

Sorry DC

But you know it's coming, especially after the picture you posted below!

Tough choke loss for the fish today. I mean, big time choke.

Meanwhile the Jetties handed the Raiders their worst home shutout ever. Jones and Greene look solid, and nice to see that Ryan's emphasis on cleaning up penalties this week in practice really paid off.

Aw, It's OK...

From Rex Ryan's press conference last night:



"Greatest D in NFL history" takes it on the chin and the best offensive plays were fake punts and questionable penalty calls.

Nice...

Funny, funny stuff

From mlb.com:

The collapse of the 2009 Mets was comprehensive. It involved so many facets of the operation that the organization has been razed from the top down, starting with the dismissal of the GM, the manager, and most of the coaching staff two coaches already have been dismissed or reassigned, several players expressed doubt that they will return, and several people in the Minor League and player-development departments have been exiled.

Two coaches have been dismissed?

Wow.

We're Not the Worst

Well, with the Tigers' "historic" collapse, our meltdown in '07 is no longer the worst.

But they limped to an 11-16 finish that made them the first team since 1901 to miss out on the playoffs after holding a three-game lead with four to play.

So Omar's got that going for him.

I couldn't get out of the way of this one

anymore than Austin Powers could have dodged that steamroller.

You knew it was just inevitable.

Luckily, I got to see it, hear it, taste it, right from Jeff Wilpon's mouth:

“We demand better and we expect better. And to me, (Jerry) and Omar deserve a chance to come back and right the ship."

See you in Spring '11.
