• @columbustom Perez alone makes up a fair hunk of the $120 million. Dickey pick-up = genuine thrifty smarts. #extendminaya (joke!) in reply to columbustom #
  • RT @columbustom I love Dickey but w/a $120M payroll you shouldn’t have to catch lightning in a bottle with a career scrub. #
  • Esp. since ownership outed him for PED’s RT @BloggingBombers: Surprising to hear Luis Gonzalez is the 1st D-Back to have his number retired. #

  • Thx for making me think of Garth Brooks, Jim. RT @jimbaumbach: Billy Crystal to Seinfeld: talk to me when you get an AB in spring training. #
  • NY Post’s Kevin Kernan suggested today that a Beltran return to the lineup might disrupt “chemistry”. For the team or the writer? #
  • W/ all due respect to Strasburg and his 4 starts, R.A.Dickey (8 IP, 0 runs, 4 hits) is more deserving of an NL All-Star nod. #
  • Seinfeld on Jason Bay’s struggles : “maybe he’s trying too hard to be funny” #
  • And Fred Travalena’s dead. RT @neelc13: Jamie Kennedy and Jay Mohr? I guess Andrew Dice Clay was too rich for the NHL’s blood. #nhlawards #
  • Except Brad Benson RT @hotfootblog: Seinfeld tells @KBurkhardtSNY there’s nothing less funny than having his material read back to him. #
  • Solo HR, Reyes. Bonderman looks like he knows Leyland’s gonna extinguish a cigarette on his forearm. Mets 2, Tigers 0 #
  • It’s about time Joe West wrote a song for R.A. Dickey #
  • Not everyone’s digging Seinfeld on SNY. compared to Jay-Z & Eminem w/ Michael Kay a few weeks back, this is Algonquin roundtable stuff. #
  • Seinfeld’s segued from Lady Gaga to the bedbug commercials. Between this & his flirting w/ @KBurkhardtSNY, I can probably take the month off #
  • Seinfeld on a sponsored tarp : “whenever fans are unhappy and disappointed, we want our logo up there.” y’feeling Jerry, Citibank? #
  • RBI double for Wright scoring Reyes, Mets 1, Tigers 0, last of the 3rd. #
  • Seinfed on Jose sliding headfirst : “who is in charge of that? Who is in charge of sliding?” #
  • sorry for the fate of the dukies, @wrightfan05. but no good is served by assuming everything’s a-ok at Johan’s country club #
  • which d’ya think is slightly higher, percentage of bogus rape claims or accusers who are intimidated/shunned? #
  • one isolated case. RT @wrightfan05: remember those boys at duke. they believed the girl & found out she wasnt credible they got screwed #
  • last word on Santana : there’s many different reactions to trauma, many eg, of crummy police work. We have no idea if accuser is credible. #
  • RT @kristinirene: Anyone w/ a roommate? Not welcome at Bellevue.”Bellevue pastor explains why lesbian coach was banned” http://bit.ly/cjleB7 #
  • RT @danreilly11: the only two people who know what happened are Johan and the accuser. I just hope it didn’t happen & this ends quickly. #
  • in all seriousness, if anyone thinks the Santana story is best blown off, yr Big Ben’s kinda public/media #

  • re : Johan yr only aware of what’s been reported. RT @wrightfan05:what worry?the so called victims story and witnesses all iffy no evidence #
  • the Santana story is worth worrying about regardless of the p.d. report. there’s no uniform / correct way for an (alleged) victim to react #
  • Well put. we cannot say for sure RT @metsgrrl to take it seriously, she could have felt unsafe,threatened, or she could have been in shock. #
  • @kranepool “if you’d just been raped, the last thing you’d do is watch your rapist play tennis.” True. Unless it was John Newcombe #
  • Strasburg thru 6 IP; 9k’s, 1 earned run. But former Met Brian Bamnister’s held DC scoreless ; Royals 1, Nats 0, last of the 6th #
  • RT @KBurkhardtSNY: the Johan story doesn’t have much else to it. There is no case against him. He issued a brief statement, and that is it. #
  • Johan, latest in a long line of Mets to be accused of sex crimes http://nyti.ms/aVduni #
  • TMZ reports Mets’ Johan Santana was accused of sexual batter in October, ’09 , case closed, no charges placed http://bit.ly/afKCnp #

  • so, where’s your supportive tweet, Tim Floyd? RT @PeteCarroll we’ve caught the fever! let’s get the 2018 or 2022 #worldcup in US #
  • “Ten Heaviest Players In MLB History” Terry Forster demands a recount http://bit.ly/ct53JA #
  • http://bit.ly/cVurgx Independent relies on a wire services account of #USA v #ALG #
  • disagree. It was clearly a solicitation. take love where you can find it RT @BobsBlitz Russo replied the way you should. #
  • disagree. It was clearly a solicitation. take love where you can find it @BobsBlitz SIRI has no dump. Russo replied the way you should. #
  • the joys of working blue. can’t do that on the FAN RT @BobsBlitz: Caller to Russo on SIRIUS, “Hey Dog, did you ever suck dick you faggot?” #
  • here’s why TweetDeck sucks – I’ve been trying to unfollow The Horn’s Sean Adams for days and it just isn’t working. #
  • ESPN / MobiTV touts #worldcup matches on yr phone, yet they’re still showing Isner v Mahut #ripoff #
  • BV likes a challenge. Prefers it, actually. RT @iracane: It’s quite likely that the Marlins will hire Bobby Valentine. #
  • It took me 5 days to figure out the Mets’ “going Gaga for Wright” foam
    finger promo ref. to Lady Gaga flipping the bird. I need more sleep. #
  • RT @craigcounsell: Joe Inglett is running around with his shirt off yelling some shit abou Michael Landon or Donovan McNabb. #
  • so much for #worldcup fever RT @JoseCanseco: Working out training for my charity fight in Hartford Connecticut on Saturday #
  • quote attributed to @KBurkhardt was actually written by @scratchbomb. My apologies to both. #
  • seriously, the final 20 mins of #USA v #ALG were so exciting, I never got around to any Clinton zipper problem jokes. #worldcup #
  • best part of the #USA ascent to genuine world football (ahem) power? Jim Rome’s gonna have to pretend he gives a shit. #
  • @KBurkhardtSNY on the Gonzalez firing : “the Marlins doing something cheap, dumb, and shortsighted is not surprising” #
  • RT @kristinirene: America! FUCK YEAH! Never will make a joke on Donovan’s hairline again!!!!! #USA #
  • FT in Pretoria. improbably, USA wins Group C. #USA 1, #ALG 0. Btwn this and the Confed Cup, Donovan’s big game rep’s been repaired #
  • unbelievable. England win…and Donovan taps in a rebound. #USA 1, #ALG 0 #
  • Dempsey bloodied. Blatant stuff, but keep in mind, Clint’s lucky he wasn’t sent off at the start of the last match #
  • easiest group the #usa have ever had, most competitive trio of opening matches. and they’re 10 minutes away from elimination #worldcup #
  • brace yourself for complaints #usa really earned 7 points in the first round and were stuck on 3. #
  • Rooney off, Cole on for #eng #usa throughly dominating the run of play but hopeless in sealing the deal… #worldcup #
  • Rooney hits the post….and minutes later, so does Dempsey (who then misses an open net with the rebound). crazy tension #worldcup #
  • Fish fire Fredi. Hanley Ramirez for player-manager! http://bit.ly/aavyFW #
  • man, ESPN’s UK commentators fall over themselves kissing USA tail and still get killed for it. #nowinsituation #worldcup #
  • RT @TaylorTwellman: Someone tell IanDarke to shut the f up about spirit and character we’d be in the final. We will be on skill #
  • RT @DevineBoston: Ian Darke informs me that if there was a World Cup for pluck and fight (or something), the U.S. would be in the final. #
  • a 2nd #eng goal was just nullfied ; nice pass from Rooney to Defoe, but the latter was offside #worldcup #
  • Robinho, chameleon http://bit.ly/dbpC54 #bra #worldcup #
  • RT @triablo: Nice to see @awl / CSTB /contributor David Roth finally make w/ the personal blogging http://bit.ly/doTLAV #
  • RT @Holy_Mountain: Having a dead Pernell Roberts as spokeman for Save the Children makes it impossible to hate him like Sally Strothers. #
