I often write about the Mets on this site, but I realize that my perspective is not necessarily that of the average fan. So as the Hot Stove League heats up, I want to get the viewpoint of another Amazins enthusiast. Today Scratchbomb welcomes Sean from Massapequa, a union pipefitter and frequent WFAN caller, to discuss the acquisition of Francisco Rodriguez.
So the Mets got K-Rod. That should help solidify the bullpen, shouldn’t it?
I don’t want this guy nowhere near my team! This guy’s a bum! Get ridda him!
He’s been on the team for like six hours.
That’s six hours too long! That bum should hit the road!
How is K-Rod a bum? He broke the season saves record last year.
Big deal. Saves is a fake stat, like on-base percentage. They don’t mean nothin. He’s a bum and the Mets are bums for signin him. That’s just like the Mets, always thinkin small. Meanwhile, the Yankees go out and get CC Sabathia and steal the back pages again. How could Omar Minaya let Sabathia slip through his fingers?! I want that bum fired!
