The 2011 New York Mets Summarized In One Paragraph



"Judge Jed S. Rakoff’s barb in court late Friday afternoon -- when he thanked the lawyers involved in the suit against Fred Wilpon for giving him tons of paperwork because “otherwise I would have had to watch a Mets game, which would have been a very painful process” -- quickly filtered back to the team’s clubhouse at Citi Field. In fact, at least two people in uniform expressed somewhere between disbelief and disgust, not taking too kindly to the quip at their expense."

After crossing Item # 392 - "Zing the owners of a Major League Baseball franchise" off his bucket list, Jed Rakoff moved onto Item #393 - "Clone a theme park's worth of extinct dinosaurs from DNA extracted from fossilized mosquitoes."

An Improtu FanGraphs Chat, Edited and Abridged for Your Edification and Delight

Dave Cameron over at FanGraphs doesn't think the Vernon trade is a particularly good deal from the Angels' perspective. Read the whole thing here, or keep on reading after the jump for much, much more of this.  I've edited this so that what you get here is all Vernon stuff unmix'd with baser matter.  Enjoy!

Original opinion on Wells deal?

Dave Cameron: 
What the bleep are the Angels doing?

Dave Cameron: 
For those who haven't seen Shi Davidi's tweet, he's hearing that the Jays may not be covering any of the $84 million that Wells is still owed, by the way. $84 million for 4 years of Vernon Wells.

[Comment From Pickle] 
How can the Angels justify this trade if the rumors are true and the Jaus are sending no money along?

Dave Cameron: 
It's crazy. If that is true, this will go down as one of the worst trades ever. This can't be true.
