There has been a heavy dose of hockey highlights in the latest reboot of the blog. This is partly because there has been a recent uptick in the number of goalie fights in the NHL the past couple of weeks and goalie fights are fucking awesome. It is also because the namesakes of this blog are well and truly fucked. It is hard to get excited for your favorite baseball team's chances when you read quotes like this one from Jayson Stark's off-season recap:

But the bottom line is that the Mets had a laugh track of an offseason. A two-year contract to D.J. Carrasco, after he got non-tendered? A major league deal for Ronny Paulino while he was still serving a PED suspension? A bargain bin full of Boof Bonsers and Willie Harrises and Taylor Tankersleys? A hunt for inning-eating starters that led to the signings of Chris Capuano and Chris Young, two guys who have spent a combined 720 days on the disabled list over the past three seasons?

How about this one from Buster Only's latest blog post (insider only):

And meanwhile, the Mets' revenue stream has shriveled substantially because of diminished ticket sales. The decline of the Mets' coffers is to the point that some owners wonder if the team will be asked to contribute to the sport's revenue sharing fund -- which is almost unthinkable, given the Mets' standing in the sport's largest market.

The simple fact of the matter is the team is buried under a mountain of debt and until they either find a way out or sell the team, there might be some dark days in Flushing.

On the bright side this happened!!!!!!!!#%%@#%!^^^!%%!!!!^$!^


Sorry about that, the ejaculate button got stuck on my keyboard.
