PLEASE TELL ME IM DREAMING, CAUSE THIS IS A NIGHTMARE

Pending physicals, Johan Santana was just traded to the Mets for a bunch of GARBAGE,

Carlos Gomez, Deolis Guerra, Kevin Mulvey and Philip Humber.

"Gomez and Guerra are big-time talents, but Gomez lacks plate discipline and might not fit in the top half of the lineup and an awful lot could go wrong before Guerra even sniffs the majors. Mulvey and Humber are third starters at best and probably more like fourths". It just doesnt add up??? A Yankee package of Kennedy, Marquez, Horne and Tobata is far superior than the Mets package. There is no reason why Johan isn't headed to the Bronx right now. I am pissed off at cashman . He is one of the most incompetent Gm's in baseball, and always manages a way not to do the right thing for the team. What bothers me the most is he continues to get away with it . Meanwhile, Omar just made everybody forget about his Ryan church for millage blunder. Yankee fans can say "At least hes not a part of the RED SOX" and granted that is a huge bonus but I am still infuriated.

It doesnt make sense that The Twins didn't Demand Fernando Martinez because he is the only talent in the mets organization worth talking about.

I'm just in shock right now . Its going to take time for me to digest this information. Right now the Mets are set, They just landed one of the best in the game, They definitely are favored to win the NL.

The Yankees could have and should have Pulled the trigger. WHAT A DISSASTER

LOSE LOSE SITUATION

As a Jets fan , This coming up Superbowl puts me in a lose lose situation. I hate the Patriots with a passion but at the same time I'm no fan of the Giants either. Not really because of the giants themselves but more because of the fans. I know its nothing like the Yankee Mets rivalry But still I encounter enough Giants fans on a daily basis which rub it in my face that the jets suck and the Giants are awesome. Even though its against everything i stand for to route for the Pats not only because they are in the same division as the Jets and not only cause the whole Bellicheck situation and on top of all of that they are a Boston team. I still think I rather The Patriots win than the Giants . Based on the sole reason of me not wanting to deal with all the Giants Fans Rubbing it in my face every single day. Plus I'm already used to the fact that the Pats Win Every year now and the Jets just outright Suck. I never encounter Patriots fans which makes life a whole lot easier. Though Its going to be tough to do ...But I rather the Patriots win......Let Me rephrase that.....I rather the Giants Lose.

Pinstripes PA pinch hits at Lohud.

This was posted by the Creator and Writer of one of my favorite blogs (Pinstripes PA, Dan )and is a must read. I Could not have said any better myself And I totally agree with every point.

Amidst the debates surrounding Joba Chamberlain’s role with the Yankees next season, fans, bloggers and analysts alike seem to be forgetting a very logical option that could appease both parties and help strengthen the Yankees pitching staff.It’s easy to understand each side of the Chamberlain argument. Those in favor of using Joba in the pen envision a strong Yankee relief corps that will help make tight games a seven-inning contest. They feel that 60-70 appearances would influence the overall record more than the 150 innings Joba would likely record as a starter, plus he would be groomed as the heir to Mariano Rivera.Meanwhile, those in favor of using Joba in the rotation see an ace in the making and the potential for an incredibly deep Yankee rotation now, and in the future. They don’t want to see Chamberlain’s talent wasted in a relief role, and they want to maximize his development as soon as possible.Both arguments are quite sound, but logic dictates that Chamberlain would be better suited for the rotation, even if it does weaken the bullpen. A pitching prospect with his potential and stuff belongs in the rotation, mainly because a league average relievers (4.47 ERA) are a dime a dozen; or in this case, $11 million a year.Enter Mike Mussina.Yankee fans watched as Moose’s effectiveness quickly diminish during the 2007 season. His fastball no longer hovered around the high 80s, and his breaking stuff seemed flat.His endurance also became a major issue. Mussina averaged 5.6 innings per start last season, signifying a drop in the six inning average he posted from 2004-2006. Out of his 27 starts, Mussina only went more than six innings seven times.Interestingly, Mussina averaged a 3.37 ERA in the first two innings of his first 20 starts, but after throwing 111 innings, he hit a wall. In his next seven starts, Mussina posted a 9.89 ERA during the first two innings.Although examining only the first two innings doesn’t really indicate that he’d make an efficient bullpen arm, his deflating endurance suggests that Mussina is now better suited as a reliever.On the surface, the move would lower Mussina’s chances of an injury and keep him fresh; but it could also increase the velocity of his fastball. Many starters encounter a slight increase in velocity after shifting to the pen, simply because they no longer have to pace themselves for six innings.Given the context of the situation, Moose would have little to whine about. A successful move to the bullpen and stellar numbers during the season would surely help him get another contract, thus extending his career. It’ll also leave Yankee fans with a good taste in their mouth: Mussina sacrificing his needs and (or) wants for the good of the team, and the good of the future.With three young pitchers in the rotation, and each limited to a certain number of innings, the Yankees will need a legitimate inning-eating reliever. One that can post 90 innings, make a spot start, or throw two innings in a tight game.The key to this move is killing several birds with one giant stone. The transition would keep Moose fresh, and his durability would no longer be a major concern. He’d help create a stronger bullpen while allowing the Three Musketeers to start, and they would in turn help create a stronger rotation. Meanwhile, an extra roster spot would be opened up for a bench player.Theoretically, moving Chamberlain to the pen would decrease his overall value, but movingMussina to the pen would also increase his.Either way, the hard part would probably be approaching Mussina with the idea.
