#1 in Steroids, Mr. Mets Head, John Maine, 10 Worst Signings... and Nelson Screwmeover

#1 in Steroids:


The New York Mets organization had the most players suspended in that four-year span (16), followed by the Chicago Cubs (13) and St. Louis Cardinals (12). The Marlins were in the middle of the pack with six. At the major league level, only nine players on 25-man rosters were caught, each one from a different team -

Mr. Mets Head:

The Mets Hall of Fame & Museum recognizes the greatest moments in club history and honors those who have left an indelible mark on the organization. The museum features significant artifacts, interactive exhibits, videos and photographic imagery, recognizing the unforgettable plays and players that have defined the Mets’ 48-year history. This exhibit features an original Mr. Met head and a host of fun facts about the origin and continued popularity of baseball’s first live-action mascot








John Maine:

John Maine got the start in the Mets’ final game before they broke camp and boarded buses to Tampa, Fla. He spent most of the afternoon throwing up – running into the clubhouse after warming up and then making a trip to the bathroom between every inning he pitched in the Mets’ 9-3 loss to the Nationals.

-look, if we throw out every member of the 25-man that’s looks like a bad shit this sprng, we’d have room on the bus for the entire press crew







10 Worst Signings:

Alex Cora, Mets: one year, $2MM. Scott Boras makes his third appearance on this list. Despite a lousy season, Cora avoided a pay cut. Instead of signing Cora in November, the Mets could've displayed patience and saved a million bucks. - link

-I’m going to give this one a little time before I comment… this was an early signing after a decent year from a throw-in… I like loyalty, so I’m on the side of Omar on this one. We’ll see…







Nelson Screwmeover:

In other news, the organization that was once equated with family values has f$#%ed over Nelson Figueroa for the 4,238th time by cutting him on Friday as well. Figueroa, if he doesn't sign with the Phillies to f$#% the Mets back and get even, will most likely head off to Japan where he will most likely pitch the Nippon Ham Fighters to a title and co-manage a chain of McDonald's franchises with Shinjo. Remember this when Oliver Perez and his 31.74 ERA is sent to Savannah because they feel that the players on that roster would be a positive influence on him, and John Maine has to go on the disabled list due to a strained throat he suffered during an intense puke. - metstradamus
