50 Cent Has a Second Career as a Pitcher

Just beautiful form, spotted on a dime.  Probably lit up the radar gun at like 96-98 mph guy can do it all.

P.S.
I probably shouldn't make fun of the guy, he could start for the Mets or the Phillies right now.

Correction: Mets have Shining Light

Wow.  How quickly things change.  Just a couple of hours ago I was rambling about how doomed the Mets are as a franchise.  Just a couple of hours ago, I was putting down Wright, and questioning their lack of a fan base.

Then, a Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot rose from the dead to shed a ray of light bursting from Queens, NY.  That's right, Daisuke Matsuzaka has returned.

Today, he earned his first ever major league save for the boys on Long Island.  Wow, a few years ago Dice-K was getting beer thrown on him on the streets of Boston, and now he is on his way to resurrecting not only himself, but a somewhat storied franchise.

God speed Dice-K.  God speed.



P.S. This is a picture of Bartolo Colon.

Looks like the Mets have ZERO fans

Recently, the New York Times came out with an interactive map that shows each MLB teams' fan base. Unlike previous maps trying to show fan bases, this one happens to be spot on and incredibly precise.

Personally (being a Sox fan), the most impressive part of the map is showing exactly where Red Sox nation turns into the evil empire.  The line is now called the "Munson-Nixon line" which is down right hysterical for all Yankee and Red Sox fans.

Unfortunately, the land does not show "Blue Jays territory" (all of Canada), and does not label the White Sox fan base, although you might be able to see it engulfed within Cubs Land.  The map does, however, show the Mets and Athletics fan bases...or lack there of.

I'm giving the A's a pass on this one, just because they are about everybody's second favorite team and have earned nothing but love from around the country. The Mets, however, have absolutely no fans.

Absolutely destroyed by Yankee territory, the Mets have trouble to find fans to begin with.  Not to mention how unlikeable they are, their pathetic 'Citi Field' and lack of overall talent, the Mets look to be in a bit of a funk.

This blog is pretty much just here to help scare Mets fans.  Their best player is now 31, hasn't played for a contender in almost 7 years and seems to be on and off the DL.  Their best pitcher just underwent Tommy John, and seems to be over whelmed with the media.  Their young rotation is more disappointing everyday and their superstar rookie catcher is hitting under .200.

The Mets suck, their fan base sucks, their players suck, and their prospects suck.  I hate them and will never get over '69.  So here's to the future Queens; CHEERS!

Merry Openingdaymas

Well folks it's here.  The beginning of another season.  You know what's great about Openingdaymas in baseball? Everyone has hope that their team will overachieve and have an incredible season.  Just kidding.  The Phillies, Astros, and Marlins all have no hope and unlike basketball you can't lose 26 games in a row so you can get a franchise changing draft pick.  Baseball just don't work like that people.  So here's to the Phillies becoming the worst team in baseball in two years and to the 2018 season if you're an Astros/Marlins fan.


There is cause for excitement though, don't let me kill your vibe entirely.  Bryce Harper added about 2,000 pounds of muscle in the offseason so watching him break Barry Bonds record this year should be fun.  Mike Trout is still only like 12 years old so despite the fact that he's been AL MVP runner-up in back to back years we still get to watch him develop.  The Tigers will lose in the playoffs again (shout out to Ben Rome) and the Yankees will probably disappoint.  We get to watch Ian Kinsler get mad when he finds out the Rangers won their Openingdaymas game (they're playing the Phillies) and have his 0-162 dreams get dashed.

Without further ado, I'll give you the final standings for this season.  No need to play any regular season games, just skip to the playoffs because I already know what's going to happen.
