I know I wanted the Mets to sell, but JEFF FRANCOEUR, he who scoffs at OBP and waiting for a pitch in the strike zone? Francoeur has a legitimate claim to being the WORST PLAYER IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL over the past two years. I can’t believe this fucking shit. How do the Mets continue to do it? How do they manage to continually sabotage themselves at the trading deadline? Holy shit. I don’t care about trading Ryan Church, but JEFF FRANCOEUR?!?!? You couldn’t get better than that?

Click on the Dollars column so it flips around to the worst players.

Jeff Francoeur = NEGATIVE 5.7 million dollars

HOLY FUCK I HATE EVERYTHING

I guess that’s what happens when half the team is either playing out of position or is a AAA player. But those five errors don’t mention Ryan Church missing third base on his way to (not) plating the go-ahead run in the 11th inning.

I’m not even sure what to throw up on here — it’s 2 AM and I’m totally exhausted due to both the time and the Mets. I just felt like acknowledging the fact that I stayed up to watch what I hope is the most comically bad Mets game of the season. And David Wright is now the only guy hitting on the team (well, Angel Pagan actually went 4-6), so the Dodgers started walking him halfway through the game and will probably continue to do so for the rest of the series. But he’s not a leader. I quote MLB-GAF:

This proves that David Wright isnt the type of leader needed for the Mets to be a good team.

Kobe would rape Church in the shower for that shit and make Beltran watch.

My blog has come back about three times as offensive, hasn’t it?
