In this country, you’re only as good as your last movie.

I find this mindset troubling.

Raf, that Duncan/Melky/Cabrera trinity was last year. In this country, you’re only as good as your last movie. That youth movement worked for the Yanks last year(including Joba) but hasn’t panned out next year. Sometimes it’s the luck of the draw, so let’s see how the Irish Hammer, Reyes Jr and Co do down the stretch. Namely, if they can make it to the playoffs and go all the way.

Nick Evans has joined Murphy in a left-field platoon bringing not only production, but energy
———
Yep… And last year, everyone was talking about how Cano & Cabrera bring “spark” and “energy.”

Whatever…

On DJ2’s tip, if the Blue Jays were in the NL they would probably be 5 games ahead of the Mets right now. Talk about AAAA. BUT the Mets youth movement is a surprise because they were supposed to be barren after the Santana trade. I guess not , kids like the Irish Hammer (Murphy), the other Reyes, and Evans have been providing a spark. What has Gardner and Christian done? Very little comparatively. The answer to all of this is: blame Cashman!

Come on Steve. You are better than this!!

You wonder why fans treat the Yankees are a team playing 162 regular seasons?
It is because of cretins like Sherman and his world class analytical skills.

And The Dodgers youth is better than the White Sox youth.

Seriously, who cares about the freaking Mets?
A) They are not in our league
B) They are not in our League
C) The most important factor…..THEY ARE NOT IN OUR LEAGUE!!!!

What a freaking joke Sherman is.
”Oh, I’m Joel Sherman and I’m the type of douchebag that judges young players in their 1st year of being professional. I do it because I’m a Type A douchebag.
I also completely disregard 3 years of ball when assessing Robinson Cano. Thats the douchebag in me again.

Idiot.

Obviously, the Yankees should trade Hughes, Joba, and Wang to the Mets for Mike Pelfry, John Maine, and Oliver Perez. That should make up for sending Scott Kazmir, a fragile unproven AA guy for Victor Zambrano.

Maybe we can send Austin Jackson over there for Fernando Tatis, as well.

Go Mets!

And, as crazy has this sounds, based on the numbers, Pedro are Rasner are about even, in terms of effectiveness this season, so far.
—————
Given context, it’s not crazy @ all. Pedro’s been hurt & his career’s winding down.

Isn’t this supposed to be comparing how each team’s “young players” performed?

Wang/Joba 27 GS 26 RSAA
Pelfery/Maine 49 GS 8 RSAA

Maine just got off the DL for (guess what!?) shoulder problems!

The obvious difference is the Mets’ coaching staff’s superior teaching of base running skills.
