Olliejandro Lyrics
I know that you’re not young anymore.
And I know you may want it.
But I just can’t watch you pitch like this anymore.
Olliejandro.
He’s got his head
up his ass.
And he can’t throw a strike,
Won’t throw a strike
He lost all velocity.
Hasta el culo
He … Continue reading

John Maine You Better Be Looking Over Your Shoulder
Trying to come back from an injury plagued season, John Maine finds himself wishing he was back on the DL. In two early season starts Maine has been smacked around to a tune of a 0-1 record with a 13.50 ERA. His peripherals do not look any better. In the 8 innings he has pitched he has given up 15 hits and 4 walks or over 2 base runners per inning. On top of all that he has already given up 3 homeruns. Granted he is a flyball pitcher so the homeruns are inevitable, but a 3.38 HR/9 is just insane. Just about the only positive from his season so far is the 7 K’s.
It is one thing to just look at this stats because one could say you can write them off as it has just been two games and this is too small of a sample size, but the thing is his stuff has looked just as awful if not worse than his stats. [...] Continue reading
This is Why the Mets’ Front Office Sucks
Some of the moves the Mets in recent history have made have been just flat out confusing (who signs a 32-year-old 2nd baseman, whose been on the decline, with TERRIBLE knees to a 4 year deal?) But that is not even what I am talking about. Their treatment of young players is just horrendous. Just look at the Health Bell situation. Couldn’t make up their mind on what to do with a young kid with talent which caused his results to suffer. He finally gets a STEADY role with the Padres and becomes and All-Star closer.
In present times they are just making themselves look silly. Just about a week ago we got the humorous story about how great New York Mets’ front office communication is. This story just hit home for me. As a Met fan I try to stay positive, support the team, and ignore the public perception of them but they make it near impossible. How can a GM and manager be so far apart on the outlook of the team and make comments like this just hours apart? It really makes you question if anybody knows what they are doing. Continue reading
