Guilty as charged!!!!!!!!!

Although I said he was the cancer in Boston behind textgate….I have nothing against him just thought that we gave up too much for 2months of a Backup catcher whom is going on the open market next year…Although Beato pitched terribly this year he’s still young and has a good arsenal…and also re-signing Shoppach is not a given…

He like Wright might also want to play for a team/organization that has a chance to win and compete for a championship next year. And we all know the Mets are FAR from that

Nope. It wasn’t just Leroy, Joe.

Scroll down and find how many times you find the word “cancer” when it comes to Shoppach. Somebody even compared Shoppach denying rumors to OJ Simpson’s trial.

Well he wasn’t born in July but people if they wish I guess can say he is full of bull since his birthday falls on April 29.

I like what I have seen so far…
He’s not the Power RH bat we need but I do see him as a good guy at the back end of the heart of the order for protection and a possible clean up of whatever the cleanup hitters left.

He’s hitting above .300 since he got here but that will go down once Pitchers get used to him and figure him out better.

He is one of those that might be worth looking at extending on a two year deal if we get him at around the same price.

But not a one year deal like we usually do…If he’s cheap double or triple up on him so if he does prove to be a keeper he will be a longer term option than a one and done like Hairston is right now!

Honestly, the only person I saw calling him a cancer was Bad Bad Leroy Brown, and almost everyone else on this site jumped on him for it.

Shoppach didn’t hit that homerun. His beard did.

It would have been great if the met broadcasters stole a line from John Sterling and called his homerun a “text message!”

So I’m guessing some people have finally taken the stick out of their asses, stop labeling him a “cancer” (which was completely idiotic to begin with) and are finally seeing something with Shoppach?

Can’t be….

I’m optimistic about Shoppach
