I must apologize to “dezolationangel”. I just googled what you were referring to and discovered there’s a team in NY called the “Mets”. Oh, and I hope you get to keep the old knuckleballer who’s really picked it up since his mid-late 30′s. money well spent.

Those yuppie fools are going to get eaten alive by mosquitoes, bitten by cottonmouths and Friendo's beeg brothers, run over by ATVs driven by crackers marinated on Old Grand Dad, and will make an infinitesimally tiny, all but undetectable dent in the python population in the process. I'm staying home and watching old Kurosawa movies with my odd Hemingway hound, Fido, and playing Ouija Scrabble when it rains.

I don’t know how Zim-bu would feel about female company. He’s been married to Soot, his girl since 10th grade in high school. Pretty little thing she was, and still looks good for a woman of advanced age. I know this because yesterday, MLBN aired an hour long documentary on ole Popeye, which I took as a sign. He has witnessed practically every important event of the past 62 years in baseball. I’d love to meet him.

Joey Bats is a Dominican man. Better get Faux Bu II at least two or three girls to keep him happy.

You’ve got the wrong Dickey.

Never heard the Wilpon’s express anger at Bernie Maddoff but they are mad at Dickey?

I went with Havanas. And cherry pipe tobacco. You might wanna toss some viagra on there with Zim and get him a little girl friend if you’re really looking for an edge. Bananas and vitamin C aren’t going to cut it next to Miss Scarlett. Faux Bu II was really nodding his oversized head hard when I asked if he’d like a little female company. I have gained much favour.

You wanna play? This is WAR–in both senses of the word. As the Yanks and Sox trade aging players, you know this division is coming down to your pretty little blue birds and my suddenly punchy Rays. Hmmm…I wonder if Zim likes Dominican cigars…

I have plied Faux Bu II with cigars. Rum. The effigy of Miss Scarlet from my Clue Boardgame. This MUST happen.

This. Must. Not. Happen. I will not allow it.

Heya Gator. Yeah, this trade would make me very, very, VERY happy.

Hey, I hear tell that the first ever python hunt is going down in the Everglades in January. You joining in to get you some boots?

I love the “fluke season” idiots.

Old Gator — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 23:36:54 +0000

I agree with you. I have a friend in Toronto whose dumbphone text alert I want to be the very first to light up with word of that trade.

And, being a control pitcher, actually hits Francesa with it.

The Pestilence doesn’t “lie” in the sense you mean. They “lie” the way a good novelist does – it’s all self-referential. No similarities to any actual person, living, dead or improbable is intended.

Hey bostonboy82, why don’t you check out his numbers from the last 3 years before you make inaccurate comments. He’s better than anyone on your staff at age 38. Pretty consistent. On a good team he would’ve won 24-25 games with all those innings pitched. He’s only getting better with that knuckleball. Sad that they’re negotiating through the media. As a Mets fan I would rather they sell high and get either an outfield or catching prospect(s) in return.

Me too. Especially when the guys with no necks say it. Then you know you're being whacked without any messy schadenfreude. It's very gratifying.

So wait…you mean that whole Dickey’s playing an elf at the Mets’s Christmas party so that means he must be coming back thing was a bunch over overblown hooey? I am Jack’s profound disillusion.

Agreed, Craig, he knew EXACTLY what he was doing. Keep it behind the curtain instead of out front and you might get it done. Quit complaining, you’ll be rich either way.

Does anyone care or really think this guy will have a second good season after his first at age 38. People talk like this is the start of something great?

No. No. This needs to fester a while. RA needs to anger the Wilpons some more…I know! An Amazon Trek to take medicine and medical supplies to remote tribes in South America. He’ll paddle against the current the whole way. It’ll be like when he went up the mountain last season: Mets FO hated that, too. This time I’m hoping they send him North in a fit a pique for a bag of balls, Whiteside & and Rasmus. Yes Mets FO…your tears of anger nourish my hope for RA in the Land Of The Beav …

I don’t blame R.A. one bit. His demands are reasonable. If the Mets don’t want to fork over the money, they can trade him. If I were R.A, I’d be very happy to get out of there

im sorry but trade this guy already…go get mike olt from the rangers…DONE

In other news, the Mets and R.A. Dickey really need to take their negotiations out of the media and do them in private. They’re not that far apart. Just get the deal done and be happy.

My sentiments, precisely!

I would prefer to see the two parties exchange ideas via notes like from grade school days.

Mets: RA, will you accept this offer of 3 years & $18 million? Circle One: YES NO
Dickey: *circles NO* Mets, how about 4 years $35 million? YES NO?
Mets: MAYBE
Dickey: *crumbles up paper and throws it at Mike Francesca*
