He was with the Mets. The Mets are one, consistent Greek tragedy.
Also, regarding the NL East, well, the Gnats are gaining steam, so there's that, but thankfully the Mets' pulse will be measured this week with a set against the rotten Reds, who canned their manager in April and are without a doubt forsaken. If the Mets can't climb over those chaps.........
Further, why do the Mets feed two shortstops, neither of whom can field at any level, nor hit at any level? I can't tell if they can still run, because Rosario never gets on base (*never*), but I know that Reyes will not vigorously pursue foul balls, and there's got to be physical limitations for that, right? Right?
We may want to kindly ask the Orioles for Ruben Tejada at some point, hitting .299 for AAA Norfolk, and yes, I already checked that out this morning, from the office, where I can be buried by a toppling pile of undercooked files at any second. Priorities!! If Sandy Alderson can't do his ****ing job (and who foolishly gave us reunification with Jay Blues, who I will henceforth call this way because he gives me the same, despite two absolutely crummy half-seasons as a Met already), I gotta do it!
At least the decaying carcass at first base is paid for by the Barves...
Re Rosario, who should really stink it up in Vegas instead, they showed an interesting graphic last night that I did not screencap, foolishly, but which stated that he was *way* under the MLB average in swinging at pitches in the middle of the zone, and way over the MLB average for swinging at pitches out of the zone.
So, yeah, great - our shortstop of the future is basically blind at the plate. Maybe even legally blind. Who knows!?
His swings by location look terrifically like mine in the recently acquired Super Mega Baseball 2, which I do suck at. Does that mean I can be a major leaguer? FYI, I am about 6'0'' and 250lbs. Good for shortstop, right? Right?
Why is being a Mets fan so hard ...?
