New York Mets 2012 Banter

Well, were I the Mets, I wouldn't offer Reyes a multiyear megadeal either. When he's on the field, he's one of the best shortstops in the game, at the plate and with a glove. When he's on the DL, which has been much too much of the time, he's an overpaid cheerleader.

I would have to agree with this. BUT, I wonder if he'll just happen to be a bit healthier on a different ball team? I mean, was he truely happy playing for the Mets organization? Did he milk his time on the DL?

Pretty sad that the most news worthy off season Mets moves are around the backup catcher spot. SMH...

true story....

A few days after the Mets were eliminated from the playoffs (May 7th, 2011

), New York Police retrieved a body out of Jamaica Bay. The male victim was wearing nothing but lady's underwear, pantyhose, high-heeled shoes, makeup and a Mets shirt.

The cops started mocking the getup of the corpse. Then they noticed the dead man had a wedding ring on. The cops realized that this guy probably had a wife, maybe kids, and that it would hurt them to see their beloved dressed in such an embarrassing wardrobe.

So they took off his Mets shirt.

it was on the internet so gotta be true!
