"The last thing we want is for these last 40 games of the season to [stink]." -Frenchy
Nice to know that while the last 40 of the season will catapult other teams to glory, and merely be an exciting roller coaster ride for others, the Mets cling to the hope that they won't [stink] over the last quarter of the season. You know, that makes "meaningful games in September" seem Steinbrennerian, doesn't it? Geez, thanks for the verbal Valium, Frenchy. Try to forget that this team is a horror show for twelve hours, and you take the bar and have it scrape the floor. Wonderful.
And just for the record, the last thing I wanted is for the last four years to [stink], but you know you can't always get what you want, Jeff Francoeur. But here's the bright side: you just wrote next season's marketing slogan! Too bad you'll be in Kansas City by then. Hope you put in for a royalty on that.
But you're right Jeff. Nobody wants the last 40 games of the season to ... stink. Because if they do, some heads are gonna roll. You might be on that list.
Luis Castillo's head might be on that list if anyone will have him. Thankfully, he upped his trade value a tad with his walk-off hit to defeat the Marlins 6-5. Maybe the increased chance of being off this team in 2011 will make him happier since the hit itself did nothing to up his mood. I mean, look at him:
Did he just win a game with a hit or is he settling his tab at the bar? I can't tell.
P.S. Most ironic part of this whole thing: The same newspaper that came up with the headline "Tiger Pulls Out" had the scruples to replace the word "suck" with "stink". Yup, it's all about the kids.
