Groundhog Day Update

I can report to you that on this Groundhog Day, Grant Roberts left his home and saw his shadow.

You know what that means...

That's right, six more weeks of probation!

***

Carlos Beltran defeated Carlos Delgado 8-6 in a home run hitting contest to benefit for the scholarship fund of the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy and High School.

Delgado however, has said that the results were skewered in favor of Beltran since he had the unfair advantage of having Danny Graves pitch to him.

***

Breaking News: Bobby Bonilla has just emerged from his home and seen his shadow. That means six more weeks of hitting on a hard seventeen.

***

Donovan McNabb was interviewed on ESPN last night. He said, among other things, that the Mets would have made the playoffs last season with Brett Favre.

Geez, they had ALUMINUM bats and only managed 14 HRs between the two of them?? Bobby Abreu would've hit 200HRs and then his arms would've fallen off.

14 HRs... I'm gonna go home and worry for the rest of the offseason

re: Wells
i think i should point out that Omar has for some reason got a free pass on his grevious prejudice against fat bastard ball players. No Wells, Sid Fernandez, Mo Vaughn types need apply, huh, "Omar"? Not a single fat bastard on the entire squad. I think we can look towards the unceremonious dumping of Danny Graves as a sign that the Mets clubhouse is a "no fat bastard" zone. Sad indeed. What has it come to when a very fat man cannot participate in the national pastime? Damn liberals, first they attack Christmas, and now fat bastards. What's next?

After Wells, lets go after Wickman and then Ray "Burger" King. This team could use some guts

Liberals declared God Unconstitutional. That is why liberals hate freedom and God and family vslues

And most Mut$ fans are liberal.

Remember when Bobby V, at a press conference aimed at containing fallout from the Norfolk marijuana situation, acted out the experience of a batter swinging at a pitch under the influence of pot? It's too bad he got fired so soon after, for I was looking forward to his workshop on pitching a no-hitter on LSD (a la Dock Ellis):

I remember that. Bobby V was nothing if not entertaining.

I wonder if he has any steroid jokes in the rotation.
