sup mets fags. how do you think we'll fix the failpen for next year?pic related: 2009 cy young winner, 50 out of 50 for saves.
lol, Epic Fail Gagne would only contribute to the failpen
bump
Eric Gange needs steroids to be effective.
nothing
Mets sign K-Rod.....no joke.
>>356997LIGHTS OUT MOTHERFUCKERS
>>357000You're right. Only I really hope they don't- a save is such a misleading indicator of a closer's effectiveness. K-Rod is definitely the best free agent closer, but they will drastically overpay him rather than going for middle and late inning relievers, who combined will make less than K-Rod.
>>356994Gagne needs his right arm back to be effective. I guarantee he's still on the roids.

>>357005Agreed. Most of these games were lost by the middle relief. Fix that before you dump money on a closer.Besides, something tell me k-rod will fizzle out just like Barry Zito did. I thank Jobu every night that the Mets never signed him.
Hell, I'd love to get my ass out of Kansas City.

>>357050Fuck you, that man is a god in this city. A GOD.We're going places, forreal this time. We've got a good manager and a good front office (finally) so we can start making noise.
>>357074Hahahaha maybe next millenia.

>>357097>>357089>>357074I actually wouldn't be surprised if the Royals are the Rays of 2009. The AL Central is decent, but it doesn't have teams that expect to win 90+ games every year like the Rays have to contend with.As for the list, Joe Beimel is obviously the one I would like to see the most- Damaso Marte and Will Ohman would be OK also. Middle relievers / setup guys seem to be such shots in the dark year to year though- there aren't any Mike Stanton / Jeff Nelson types anymore.
>>357097Don't worry, all you have to do is slightly adjust your name and team logo.
