Hochi Shimbun is not a reporter, but the name of a Japanese news organization 報知新聞. The names of many Japanese papers include the characters 新聞, which simply means “news.”

A little FYI from a Chinese reader and speaker (Japanese borrows a lot of formal terms from Chinese, known as “kanji” 漢字).

Word on the street is that Andrew Bailey is gonna be working out for scouts so he could be on the move soon for a team that needs a closer or a few more arms.

Hint, hint.

We didn’t really get rid of Jason Bay….

We just replaced his production with a cheaper player when all is said and done….

No we just want a MLB signing be-damned. I told you the best thing would have been for the Mets to sign Omar Q to a major league contract. Then everyone would be happy.

You wanted Dice-K? I would think you’d be doing cartwheels and back-flips like Courtney Hawkins that this rumor was bogus.

They can keep talking but unless he is taking league minimum then Sandy aint signing.

I got a plan for Sandy, lets get some unsigned players addicted to crack, that way they will be desperate to play for league minimum and we can finally sign a FA.

“They’re stealing my ideas ”

Yes but you will never be able to sue for infringment because while they steal your ideas they never actually get around to implementing any idea that may come across thier desk it seems.
LOL

It’s almost as if they spend a week thinking of something they might like to do then spend the next week looking for reasons not to do it until someone says “Hey it’s too Pricey lets move on….”

Metsblog has already updated their story. It’s not true according to a Mets insider. And Newsday is saying that they never made an offer.

Bring back Shinjo is you want excitement and an outfielder. It’s 2 for 1, although I doubt he’d leave his lucrative porn career for a return to the Mets. But, that could make for an interesting bobble-head night.

Two scenarios that would fit if they do actually spend the $25m:
Option 1: Marcum, Brian Wilson, Hairston and a flier on Sizemore. I think Brian Wilson will quickly fill the void left in Mets fans hearts from losing Dickey with his quirky personality.
Option 2: Dice-K, K-Rod and same OF as first option. Dice-K will be looking for a one-year deal and could benefit from a NL environment.

I wonder when I should start asking for money from the Mets? They’re stealing my ideas
