While the Ladies work on our anger over David Wright's snub of fans and females (not to mention that he personally called Gary Sheffield to convince him to come to the Mets - THANKS A LOT, DAVID) we thought we'd aim some of this righteous bitterness towards the philthies, now that the WBC is over and it is safe to hate them again. Following are ten reasons why they will come in a distant second this year - if they can get past the Braves, that is:
10. The wrong Manuel won last year, karma dictates that this will be corrected and balance once again restored to the universe.
9. Three words: Chan Ho Park.
8. Jaime Moyer is old. Really old. We can fully expect his arm to be ripped off by the wind during his first start at Citifield this year.
7. J.C. Romero. Out for the first 50 games. "No, I didn't take that stuff! OK, maybe I did, but I didn't know it was aganist that rules! OK, maybe I knew, but the union told me it was OK! Well, maybe they didn't..."
6. Brad Lidge? LadyMet's hubby has him on his fantasy team, therefore he will suck. She is trying to encourage hubby not to trade him for this very reason.
5. Chase Utley has a surgically repaired hip. Now, we are not ones to wish ill health on anyone, but...it's Chase Utley, for chrissakes.
4. The Flyin' Hawaiian? Gimme a break. You can't come up with a better nickname than that? What are you, 9 years old?
3. Payback for the WBC dogpile where Rollins and Victorino got their shots in to David Wright.
2. Not all rednecks are wife-beating, intolerant, filthy-mouthed knuckle-draggers -see Putz, J.J. Some are - see Myers, Brett. The Ladies predict that all this hatred and self-righteous indignation will explode out of Myers' philthy head this year, causing him to finally go postal and landing him in prison, where he can watch his team complete their second place finish on TV, provided he exhibits good behavior.
1. Arrogance, thy names are Hamels and Rollins
Self-esteem is important for optimal functioning in life, right? Too much is called hubris. And hubris leads to carelessness and laziness. Hence, while Hamels is busy shooting SI covers while his reality-starlet wife soaks in the reflected glory (I guess one season of Survivor only gets you so far, huh?) and Rollins is busy planning his Playboy shoot with girlfriend, the Mets will be leaving them in the dust.
Please keep in mind that if none of this comes to fruition, The Ladies will delete this post and pretend it never existed.
Kisses, Gangstas! Safe trip to Cincy! Say hello to Metsgrrl while you're there!
I'm not thrilled with the Sheffield signing either, but I will give David the benefit of the doubt and assume he knows better than me what is good for the team. I'm just curious who the Mets are going to release to fit him in. My money is on Marlon Anderson.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, he's been great for us in the past but he just doesn't have it anymore. I hope this signing doesn't cost Ryan too much playing time, I think he deserves a fair shot at full-time right field, esp since the Mets really screwed him up last year.
