lol even shasta feels too bad for him to talk shit

wait when/why was Morbs banned?!?

he hit 52 :(

holy shit francoeur. i am surprised morbs is still among the living.

I don't give a shit about Church, but I'm awfully glad to be rid of the deaf, dumb and blind boy.

lol with bonus jake delhomme content.

"Omar has always talked to me and told me how much he likes my energy and the way that I play," Francoeur said. "I'm looking forward to getting up there and playing in front of a packed house every night."

lol citi will be a graveyard soon at this rate

"We like Ryan Church a lot," Minaya said. "But right now we just wanted to change it up a little bit. Unfortunately for him (Church), he got hurt. When he got hurt, he was having a pretty good year. ... We thought we just needed something different. It had nothing to do with not liking Ryan.... One thing we like about Francoeur is the amount of games that he plays."

he has energy, he plays the game in a likeable way, and he plays a lot of games.

"we love the number of shits he takes"

wanting to "change it up a little bit"......jesus h christ how can you say that to the media and still hold a job.

as neyer noted:

Since coming off the DL in early June, Church's line is .290/.336/.402 ... far from good for a corner outfielder, but decent enough compared to most of the Mets' other outfielders ... and of course a far sight prettier than Francoeur's .250/.282/.352 line for the season.

the dude is hitting like julio franco did when he was 50

fyi francoeur makes abt $500k more too!

.273/.330/.370 was julio's line in his last full season w/the mets

i can't believe that there are players with obps under .300

jimmy rollins throwin down a .278 in a half season.

If they ask you do I walk like Youk, tell 'em... "no," but once I do get on I could steal a base
And when they ask 'bout me, you say "He threw it down, threw it down, threw it down, threw it down, threw it down"

I'm all up on you like a Virgil Trucks
I'm poppin' up like shortstop, head's up

but with as much swinging as i do i could start a fire

Hey, bring the heater, I'm swingin' out my shoes
Call me Oddibe the way I struck my ass out

hey, bring the water, i can't hit ben sheets
shorty throw that fastball right by me

shorty, town after town, i'm goin down
just call me preston wilson the way you struck my ass out

Ch-ch-charlie need my love

A-T-L-A-N-T-A G-A is where i K

A-T-L-A-N-T-A G-A is where i K

they should have found a way in francoeur-church trade to include 3rd underachieving NL East RF hermida & made it 3-way

klaw tweets in:

@benbryan I only evaluate trades that include either big leaguers or prospects. Not stiffs. I guess the Mets got the bigger stiff, though.about 8 hours ago from web in reply to benbryan

someone local asked me who jeff francoeur is and i said he's like neifi perez but an outfielder.

not too far off shasta

perez .267/.297/.375
francouer .266/.308/.424

omg dude go to bed

uh you!

francouer .266/.308/.424

was confused by this until i realized that's his career line - been several years since he's OPSed above 700

Lol jordan I was already up for the next day!

Apparently, anyone who wants Halladay has to take either Wells or Rios as well.

pedro to the tastykakes

i can't believe that there are players with obps under .300

the 2009 Oakland Athletics baseball team made famous by the Hollywood blockbuster MONEYBALL have a team OBP of .314

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! i cant bealive this shit the braves are so fucking stupid right now they traded a home town hero for a slightly less talented older guy. jeff should have been a brave for life u assholes! and if we couldnt avoid this we should have atleast tryed to get someone worth it! this kind of idiocracy pisses me off. and it sux cuz i want ... Read Morejeff to fail as a player because hes with our rivals or be productive in a way that dosent help the team win or just get traded to a team out of the division. we'll miss u J. FRANK!

chris duncan for julio lugo is one random ass trade

whoa

Esp. after they just got Adam Laroche. . .

apparently the sox turned down victor martinez for bucholz

Duncan in LF in Boston makes a ton of sense, and he can also play 1B, and they got him for nothing.

uh... you think so?

not sure if duncan has much of a career left but a lh outfielder stashed in aaa is nice.

Human Rain Delay Jr to Rockies

^ R Betancourt

Yes, but he is a power hitter who also draws a lot of walks. He's quite valuable.

n/a, re-sort that table by OPS.

xxp and none since 2007. he's not playing first in la.

he supposedly even called Coletti yesterday and said he couldn't play first

Supposedly the Dodgers gave up Tony Abreu for Garland because the DBacks picked up most of his salary. Not too sad to see him go. Also management has hated his (injured) guts for the past 2 years and Im surprised he stuck around as long as he did.

wtf is an OPS how many game-winning RBIs does Thome have lifetime, that's a real man's stat and you can count it too.

HEY NED!!! I CAN

T PLAY IN THE FEILD

JUAN PIERE HAS SENT A GREAT EXAMPLE TO THE GAME

Srsly what does the Dugout have to say about this.

Softly Tho Me
