Wadding will be live out of Peoria tomorrow for a full status report on Yu Darvish whereas I will be in Goodyear doing a fluff piece on the food and general atmosphere at the ballpark. Smelly Meatballman can have his segment with highlights from the day while inno does rumors.

That should fill a half hour

Definitely wanna get to ST one of these years. Mets have been trying to get another team into the Port St. Lucie complex, much like how the Marlins and Cardinals share a facility in Jupiter and how other teams split complexes in Arizona. Having another team allows for easier game/workout flexibility plus it's cost effective.

As it is, 3 of the 4 closest teams are division rivals. Marlins (and Cardinals) are like 45 minutes away, Nationals and Braves are about 90 minutes away. After that the next closest team is the Astros like 2 hours away. The Dodgers heading to Arizona and the Orioles leaving for the west coast of Florida fucked things up big time. 4 of the 5 NL East teams play each other pretty much all spring. They'll make a few road trips to the west coast for games, but it causes travel issues. Mets drove like 4 hours to play the Twins last year only for the game to get rained out.

Mets are contractually obligated to stay in Port St. Lucie through like 2024 or something...but it gets voided if there are 4 or less teams on the east coast of Florida. Can't be too far off from everybody relocating to the west coast.

Goodyear Ballpark is nice. It's hard to describe, it's large but it feels compact at the same time. Like most of the area went to seating which is fine but you think it would make the concourse areas feels small but they don't. The whole place feels smaller than it actually is but not in a bad way. There were a lot of seats in the shade which is nice and some of them were even cushioned too. The crowd was mostly old, retired, senior Ohionians but they were knowledgeable about their team mostly. The rest were probably 20-30 somethings wearing Reds crap and pale skin so it's safe to assume they were from out of town. I was sitting next to these two cute girls who were Reds fans but had no interest in me or my friend. Actually our whole section was pretty empty except for those girls and two girls behind us. Nothing special about the food or the beer selection. And I forgot to go into the team shop. Actually, I don't think I saw it.

But yeah, it's nice. Dunno where I'd rank it but probably top 5. You should come out next year or something, Supreme. Seems like a lot of Ohionians do

People are upset at Papelbon semi-dig against Red Sox fans when he said Philly fans are smarter than Boston fans due to them being in the NL.

It wasn't even a real dig considering he admitted Red Sox fans show a lot of passion towards the team due to it being a "way of life" while he did what every new player does on a team and tries to get the new fanbase to embrace him.

He did make one big mistake in hinting Phillies fans won't trash him if he struggles like he did at times with the Sox.

To me, Papelbon telling Philly fans we’re more hysterical than them is like your ex telling her current boyfriend how wild you were in the sack and that your johnson was too big. What can we say? Some can handle how hard we give it and some can’t.

Viva La Stool!

I had this crazy idea that someone who wanted to pile up steals could steal 2nd and then steal 1st again from 2nd and then steal 2nd again..but apparently there are rules against that, not to mention it being pretty stupid. My thought was that the catcher wouldnt throw back to first if the runner is going back a base.

lol @ the announcers during this Mets/Tigers game on ESPN. I've never heard two broadcasters sound more disinterested in a game. They started bitching when the pace of the game slowed down, and were pretty much openly rooting for the Tigers to win it in the bottom of the 9th rather than going to extras.

So I guess we aren't getting expanded replay this year which blows, imo.

On the one hand we have extra wild card/expanded playoffs that really only makes sense logistically when implemented in conjunction with a re-designed regular season schedule to allow for the extra time needed (read: 2013). Instead this new plan gets thrown together in haste with gaping holes of logic everywhere and shoved down the throats of its teams, players, and fans for the simple reason of more money.

And on the other hand, we have expanded replay who’s time has clearly come and when implemented correctly, can only add to the integrity of the game, not to mention that the basic building blocks are already in place with existing replay capabilities. Instead this new plan gets put off for yet another year because the parties involved “…weren’t able to come up with an acceptable set of agreements”.

There you go, folks. This is Bud Selig’s legacy –“Money beats integrity”.

With Tim "Hulk Hogan" Byrdak to start the season on the DL, the Mets will need a lefty specialist in the pen to start the year. Daniel Herrera is not viewed as a candidate, because the Mets don't think he's good enough to be a lefty specialist and they think his screwball is more effective against righties.

BA against lefties: .215
BA against righties: .364

Such brilliant baseball minds at the helm.

Tbh I really just want him to make the team so that 5'6" Herrera and 6'11" Jon Rauch can keep channeling Muggsy Bogues and Manute Bol.

Pretty sure Garrett Olson is going to get the spot instead.

He will make the team probably. This is the way I see it most likely

Rotation:

CC

Pineda

Andy

Kuroda

Nova/Hughes

One if not both of the guys I mentioned in the fifth spot may be traded for someone maybe a Right Fielder. This is Swisher's last year. So investing in a Right Fielder instead of paying Swish top dollar for him in the FA Market might be a good idea.

Nah. Dude hasn’t pitched since 2010 and hes joining camp late. Late April arrival at the earliest.


Dont know what you want a right fielder for. You should be worried about winning another championship, not Swisher walking after this year. Nova and Hughes still have options, so they can get sent down if needed so its not like a deal is necessary. If you really wanted to I guess you could, but with Freddy Garcia already hurting and Pineda looking fat with a drop in velocity its probably a bad idea.

I don't think I am going to worry about Pineda dropping Velocity until the actual season. I think I remember an article saying he would work his way up to pitching at his Velocity. Remember, it is still Spring Training, so I am not really willing to put him as a Overweight bust all ready. Now, I realize that this trade is a bad idea right now. I was just talking about maybe at the Trade deadline. By that point, Pettitte will most likely be in our rotation. And by that point we will probably know what Pineda, Kuroda, Nova, and Hughes can offer us.

But, I do agree that Pineda with a drop of Velocity is pretty bad, let's just wait until the season begins and see if that Velocity may have changed.

Mets and their owner required to pay out $162 million as part of the settlement in the Madoff lawsuit case. Wilpon along with the other main co-owner will only pay out $29 million with the team and others covering the rest.

They were able to reduce the original lawsuit by about $200 million from its $386 million estimate.

Mets still waiting for the results of their own lawsuit against Madoff with the goal being $178 million with the majority to be used to pay out the lawsuit that was against them and gain a little extra in cash.
