Idle Thoughts
Cameron for Who?
Yeah, so this was something I expect to see on the YES message boards (I'm not doing the orange linky thing, because no one should go there ever) and laugh off, but when it was mentioned on M+MD and then in passing on Sportscenter, I was shocked. Who thinks this is a good idea? It makes absolutely no sense for the Mets, and even less sense for the Yankees. Thankfully, it was apparently never going to happen, or at least not going to happen once the Mets asked for Wang or Cano. Now, I should be thankful, but it worries me that SUPER SCOUT is looking with hungry eyes towards Wang and Cano. Because what the Mets need is another fifth starter with crappy rates or another middle infielder that doesn't walk. At one of the message board I frequent, a "OMAR GETTING ROBBED!" headline caught my eye. It turns out that it was about Vizquel getting the short end in the all-star voting, but my first thought was 'Great, Omar traded Petit for Danny Kolb or something.' This is the world I live in now. I hate the trading deadline.
Dad Approves
My father is a crotchety Brooklyn Dodgers fan. He hates it when teams don't bunt with first and second and less than two outs. He hates it when they give good hitters the take sign on 3-0. But more than anything, he hates when lefties don't drop a bunt down the third base line when the extreme shift is on. So I can only assume he has been writing angry e-mails to Cliff Floyd and that brought about his bunt today.
