Here’s hoping Wilpon and Alderson look after those kids The Beavz sent over to NY in exchange. They should pretty good in a season or two, so have some hope.

People poo-poo it, but it will be real interesting to see if different pitcher looks in the setting of a rotation has an effect. Because you won’t be able to get a better test case than Dickey-Morrow-Buerhle-Johnson-Romero.

I have a feeling that this Blue Jays – Mets trade is the start of a beautiful fanbase friendship.

He was great for us in an otherwise shitty time.

The one thing I would say is (spoiler alert) he is old – not that it matters for his arm, but his body might be giving out. Plantar fasciitis the year before, torn abdominal a this year…

Not saying it’s necessarily true but something to watch out for. Wishing the best for Dickey!!

Not only is he good but he’d throw off a teams offense for an extra day or two after facing him
