In a classic example of money mismanagement, the Mets seem to be hemming and hawing over hiring Joe Girardi, as he is certainly asking, rightfully so, for at least $4M/year, all while interviewing more cost effective candidates with little or no experience. That said, they happily gave Familia $30M over 3 years. I…

“At first I thought he was some kind of street performer, although I wasn’t sure what kind of performance it was—some kind of avant garde production of Oliver!, I suppose—but then the policeman who shoved him out of my way assured me that he was some kind of street...person. I felt just terrible about it later, so I…

Imagine if the NFL just gave the trophy to the regular season winner. Then we’d have even *more* insufferable Patriots fans talking about their perfect season a la the Dolphins.

They paid Matt Harvey $5,625,000 just before he ended his pitching campaign.

Yeah but nothing beats winning the dectuple of the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Cup Winners Cup, Charity Shield, Cup Winners Winners Cup, Premier Champions Cup Shield, FA Cup Charity Shield, and Champions Premier FA Cup Winners Charity League Shield.

Or, imagine a truly despised team goes 16-0 in the regular season, blitzes through the playoffs, and then is upset by a(n admittedly loathsome if not by half) “underdog” led by a man-child with permanent derp face in some sort of culminating event.

“’I just felt sorry for him. He was in pain,’ one donor told The Times. ‘I felt sorry for his pain, not so much for him. I heard a person who was in pain. As a lifelong New Yorker, I said I would be happy to contribute to that effort.’”

God, imagine if this donor ever met a poor person?

Tráfico pt 2 is gonna be wild. I’m stoked for the Zlatan/Vela beef to graduate to full on hamburger.

Imagine if the Premier League had playoffs in 2015-16, and Leicester City got knocked out in a single elimination game by one of the traditional powers. Then one of the best sports stories ever becomes a footnote.

Bobby Bonilla really madoff with some serious dough, there

So the thing is, de Blasio wasn’t ever running for President. He was running to collect checks that he can then keep for other political purposes. In that reagard the Wilpons achieved what was always intended: Giving him money for ‘future considerations.’

Far be it from the Wilpons to go all-in on an investment right before it goes belly up.

I don’t care how they do it in Europe, playoffs are good.

Based entirely on the photo, I’m guessing pitching coach.

Please move the team to Rio Rancho Estates. 

Because they have Tebow penciled in for both of those roles next year.

“The good news, which is indeed pretty good, is that the Mets are not counting on de Blasio to play some third base or pitch the eighth inning next year.”

Bonilla Day, a recognized federal holiday, is July 1st, every year until 2035. Get your shit together.

Still less than they paid Bobby Bonilla on September 19.

This really makes the scouting department look bad.
