There are more stories than a midtown skyscraper coming out of St. Lonesome:

ITEM: METS ARE/ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FREDDY GARCIA

Adam Rubin says Omar and Garcia spoke yesterday and Bart Hubbuch says the Mets are not interested in Garcia as “they have no room for him in the rotation” I’m going with Rubin’ report as we all know there is always room for a guy like The Chief when healthy. Now of course Garcia wants the baseball world to know that the Mets and he are dating as it brings up interest and increase his demand of a contract but Garcia has to prove he is of sound body and that won’t happen until after the All Star break. But it’s nice to know that The Chief has pals on our team like Petey and Santana.

ITEM: DO WE FINNALY HAVE A METS-PHILLIE RIVALVRY?

As long as I’ve rooted for the Blue and Orange the closest team the Mets have had as a rival were the Cubs. Then the in the mid 80’s it was the Cardinals and the early 90’s the Pirates and then of course the Braves ever since so it is nice to see the Mets and Phillies become not only rivals but talking smack towards each other. Maybe now the Phillies front office will stop sending brochures to Mets ticket plan holders to buy tickets to Mets-Phillies games in the Land of the Cheese steak which by the way is the most overrated food product in the history of eating. Bench clearing brawl anyone?  

ITEM: BOO-HOO METS FANS CAN’T CAMP OUT FOR TICKETS

Just like tailgating 14 hours before a football game in a parking lot, I never understood  why people loved to sleep outside a stadium to buy tickets.  How is sitting at home nice and toasty where you can even print out the tickets as well not better than sleeping in the cold and peeing in a jar and just being fucking miserable just to be first in line to buy a ticket to a game?

ITEM: MOISES ALOU AND THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH

Moises loves it here. In fact he loves it so much he wants to play at least two more years here. Why? Why not. Sure the cash is good but let’s face it if you’re a Latin player where else would you want to play? The Mets clubhouse is a very comfortable place where it seems most of the guys get along as well as 25 men can. In contrast you have Johnny Damon who it seems has found out that the South Bronx is baseball’s tight ass headquarters. So much so that Damon was ready to retire than play for the Highlanders as the organization took all the fun out of baseball for him. Something that all free agents should think about when they put money over happiness.

ITEM: IT’S A THIN LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE

Mike Vaccaro lays it all out on our Mets addiction

ITEM: OLIVER PEREZ FINDS OUT HOW MUCH HE SUCKS TODAY

It’s been a while since the Mets went to an arbitration hearing and they really don’t want to break the streak but Ollie Perez and his agent Scott Boras have left the team with no choice. The Mets would love to sign O.P. to an extension at a generous raise but the beaten up Boras has said N-O. I hope Ollie knows what he’s doing as that’s why I can see the Mets tripping the light fantastic with Freddy Garcia.
