What Have You Learned? Darren O'Day

Found October 20, 2009 on The Musings and Prophecies of Metstradamus...:
PLAYERS: Darren ODay,  Raul Ibanez,  Nelson Figueroa,  Casey Fossum,  Oliver Perez
TEAMS: Texas Rangers,  Philadelphia Phillies,  New York Mets,  Chicago Cubs

What Have You Learned is our very special off-season series that will outline what you've learned, what I've learned, and hopefully what the 2009 Mets have learned about themselves, others, and 2010. Today, because our blogger is still very bitter about what seems to be an extremely minor, we look at the departed Darren O'Day.Today, we woke up to more sobering news about the state of the New York Mets. Today's news: The Mets have released Ken Takahashi.The news here is not that Takahashi was released, but the 40-year-old who is most famous for giving up a three mile long home run to Raul Ibanez was the end result of putting Darren O'Day on waivers. The departure of O'Day, so that an injured Mike Pelfrey could remain on the active roster, turned into Nelson Figueroa for a start ... which turned into a pissed off Nelson Figueroa when he was designated for Casey Fossum ... which turned into one, awful, unmemorable appearance in a Mets uniform ... which turned into Ibanez's three run H...

Via Sports Biz with Darren Rovell  |  October 21, 2009
Posted By:Darren RovellThe headline in the Wall Street Journal this morning was certainly baffling: “Mets Win One: Owners Made Money Off Madoff.” The reporters did a great job of unearthing the fact that a recent bankruptcy court filing revealed that two accounts associated with the Mets Limited Partnership MADE $48 million off Madoff.

Searching For Jose Lima: Readers Lend A Hand

Via Deadspin  |  October 20, 2009
Yesterday, we posted the email correspondence between us and our new bestfriendf4evah, Melissa Lima, who, for some daffy reason, is having trouble tracking down her ex-husband, pitcher Jose Lima.

Welcome, THB Class of 2009

Via Faith and Fear  |  October 19, 2009
People who think computers play baseball will say the Angels are down 2 games to 1. But computers don't play baseball. And when you have a teammate like Derek Jeter, and you see the way he goes about his business and how calm he is after a game like that, it's like you've won. So the computers may say the Angels are down just one game, but if you're in the Yankee...

Sad Mets fans and wounded Cubbie backers have been forwarding us emails this afternoon that they received from online price gouger StubHub today. The...
