At-Lastings

The kid runs a 4.3, 40.

He does the shuttle run in under under 4 seconds.

He benches 24 reps X 225 lbs.

He squats in the 600's.

Heck, the guy has a 37'' vertical.

The NFL was drooling over this kid. He was talented, fast and built like a brick shit house. He would have a 12 year Pro Bowl career at whatever position he played.

Fortunately for us, he decided at a young age that baseball and underage girls were the only two sports for him.

Ladies and gentlemen, Lastings Miledge.

How fucking cool is this guy. In Wednesday night's game against the Dodgers, Miledge led the Mets with a triple, a homerun and a rifle.

He helped Tommy the Spy earn his 9th win, a very undeserving win. Yet, it felt right considering that Tommy G spent much of his first three seasons with the Old Mets half asleep in a blackhole of little run support and untimelieness.

The guy has been in the big leagues for as long as LC has been tearing down Teen Vogue on MTV's newest reality hit, The Hills.



Yet, he has already arrived.

Every tool that we heard so much about has already shown its pretty little smile.

Last week we saw the absolute cannon. Wednesday night, we got to see it again when he gunned down Nomar trying to stretch a double...Thanks beautiful!



On every groundball in the infield or why not, every triple, we see his speed.

There isn't an OF in the world who doesn't have the glove.

Dude is knocking .308

And surprisingly, this kid is showing some serious pop.

The one knock on young Lastings was that he wasn't a dong socker. As much as he has crushed it with the 14 year old chicks in the past, it wasn't for his ability to hit the long ball, having hit just 4 homeruns in his 2006 season at Norfolk.

One week later and the guy has already socked 2. That puts him on pace to hit about 50 per season. I'll take that.

As the Mets take on the new Balco Diamondbacks this weekend and eventually decide what they are going to do with the 21-year old, we over here at Y2k have a pretty strong feeling about this one. This kid should be playing nowhere outside of Shea.

It would be like Neo after his ten hour session learning kung-fu, Jujitsu and even bar fighting, deciding to go back to his desk job instead of furthering his future full time position as "The One."



Who knows what this kid will become. All I can say, is that it would be a real cock tease if this kid was shipped back to Norfolk.

We will see.

VCD,

SM
