JUST RANTS, NO RAVES

Time to clear the minutia from my head, so as Murph would say “Fasten your seat belt:

 

If you think its tough being a Highlander player these days with the PED’s accusations flying and what not, how about showing your support as a Highlander fan? This poor bastard on Staten Island (and no, I didn’t call this in to the 120 Precient on him) spent a week at the Rock Resort (a/k/a Rikers Island) because he fit the description of a thief all because of his Highlanders jacket:

 

{The Staten Island man’s odyssey began Nov. 10, when cops approached him with guns drawn as he walked home from his girlfriend’s house in Port Richmond.
“They were screaming, ‘Where’s the weapon? Where’s the stuff you stole? Where are the credit cards?’ ” he said.
“They threw me up against a fence, and I was asking, ‘What’s going on? What did I do? I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ ”
Turns out Soto, 35, loosely matched the description of one of three young men who had robbed a teen at knifepoint nearby. The victim told cops one of the men was wearing a Yankee jacket. }
See if I owned the Mets not only would I help this guy sue the living shit out of the NYPD and Staten Island D.A’s office but I’d have a day at Shea for him and his family and shower them in Mets attire.
 

More stupid Highlander Hijinx this time from Jennifer-Bronx Robber Baron- Swindel  who if she worried more about the needs of her booze and whore chasing ex-husband like she does about figurines at an overrated Manhattan restaurant Maybe Ms. Robber Barron-Swindel would be less of a bitter old frow:

{GEORGE Steinbrenner’s daughter Jennifer Swindal doesn’t want any Mets figurines taking prominence over her beloved Yankees. The ‘21′ club on West 52nd recently redeco rated its gift area and prominently displayed a vintage figurine of Casey Stengel - who managed both the Yankees and the Mets - in a Mets uniform. Swindal noticed and immediately had her office send the eatery “a much larger figurine of Yan kee player Joe DiMaggio at bat,” which now is towering over the tiny Stengel statue }

With all the screaming and yelling about the increase in ticket price I’m sure I won’t be the only on in logging in to Mets.com tomorrow to purchase a seven-pack, even though I may have to sell one of my kids to pay for them.

There is no excuse for the NY Rangers to lose to the Gretzky Wolves at MSG Hell they shouldn’t lose to them at Sky Rink (is it still in business?) I’m still not ready to rant and rave yet but its coming close as I think somebody has got to go either Tom (The Riddler) Renny or Jaromir Jager. By the way, where the fuck is Slats Sather? Did I miss the wake?

I saw Jimmy Dolan leaving MSG last week, in a short yellow school bus. Isaiah was driving. Starburry was the matron.

You know your team is so bad that they not only suck but they suck to the third degree, and that describes the J-E-T-S . All the game stories in the NY rags are how they didn’t get the shit kicked out of them in Foxboro yesterday. No medal for trying kids. Oh and by the way Mangenieus, if I ran those ridiculous option plays you ran with Brad Smith against my son on Madden 07 I think he would put himself up for adoption.

Don’t forget kids Wednesday night SPORTSTALKNY at 9PM the guests will be Ed Willies author of the THE REBEL LEAGUE a book on the World Hockey Association (I hope all you Bobby Sheehan fans call in) and The Farmer Boy Mark Littell –The Farmer Boy-former KC Royals pitcher and now pitch man for the NUTTY BUDDY –a must see video. So listen in join us in the chat room and with your phone calls.

    Here are my thoughts on the Mets right now. I could be wrong as I usually am but…

    The Mets have 1 more year until they are in the new stadium which means this year isn’t as important as next year. Omar can stand pat with this team which is still a good team and will be competitive (most likely) all year. Next year, however, with the new stadium open, Omar will need to have some pretty new names out there and a *very* good team. There will be better free agents next off season also (barring contract extensions, re-signings).

    It is my opinion that this year is “we’re playing with what we have which is good enough..for now” and then next offseason, we will bring in some marquee names and make a solid run at the World Series. I really don’t think Omar wants to give up the farm for 1 player. I think he’ll hold on to our best prospects for at least 1 more year and give us something like Livan Hernandez or Mark Prior and say all is fixed.

    Again, this is just my gut feeling and I hope I’m wrong. I want to see Santana or Bedard (pref Santana as he has proven he is worth all the prospects where Bedard has only had 1 good year I think?)
