Gettin' Chippy

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

.
Eli was recently seen strolling down Aisle 6 in a local Brooklyn supermarket, when he reached for a bag of potato chips. One would think this was a simple decision, being that this supermarket only carried two brands of those salty but yet yummy delectable chips, but, alas, it was an extremely difficult decision.

As he reached for a particular brand, his ESPN-Live-Game-Scoring-Alert-Text-Message came buzzing into his phone. "Putz blows the lead in the 8th," it read. "Gosh Dangity," Eli screamed in response. As an older woman scrambled to a different aisle, Eli composed himself and reminded himself where and why he was in Aisle 6 at that present moment. "Right, right," he said, "the chips."

And then it all became so clear; the answer was looking him square in the face...he was gonna go with the Lay's Potato Chips... Of course. Why didn't he see it all along?

Minaya Watch. Points to ponder.

Oliver Perez makes a tad less a season that Reyes and Wright combined.

John Maine and Mike Pelfrey combined make less than half of what Oliver is collecting.

Insane in the Membrane

I disagree, Al.

Wright and Reyes, as well as Pelfrey (and Maine for the most part) were all signed when they weren't relatively big name players. On the other hand, Oliver was signed when he was thought to be a star lefty.

In hindsight, on June 2nd 2009, the point looks noteworthy but in reality, the way the cards fell no one expect Omar to do anything differently.

Although I would've went after Lowe but that's for a different time and a different place :)

i dont think you would have went after lowe to be honest, the mets were not going to come near what the braves offered him, and only in hindsight you are going to say that you would have went after him.
60 mil for an aging 36yr old? c'mon!
