La Ruina

     So it seems that the great commish is going to release the draft order for 2009 on Saturday and I for one am really excited.  This site has been dead for a while so I figured I’d shake the dust off of it and write a meaningless post.  Finding out where I’ll be drafting in 2009 […]

That would be my son.  No one should punish their child and tell them that the Mets are a team to root for.  Worst franchise ever.

Just a suggestion, how about adding a starter or two and not another outfielder that no one has heard of.  I mean you are +6 in outfield and -329 innings.

me: you starting arroyo

Sent at 6:05 PM on Tuesday

Just before going to bed I have to check how Chris Young is doing in his start. He’s cruised through the first two innings, then in the third he runs into some problems, puts a man on first and second with one out.

Every year there is an addition from the wire that just boggles the mind.
Last year, Alex added Doug Brocail, which sparked 1500 emails in 10 minutes.
This year, John Crimmings adds John Grabow.

I seriously love how no one needed Oliver Perez.  The guy with an 8 or 9 priority actually waivered him.  This just in, he’s a good pitcher.  He plays on the Mets.  He is in his contract year.  He is going to win games and he has 200 k stuff.  No one needed that.
“I don’t need […]
