More Trash

[Below, A.F.O.M.G. exhorts Mets fans to sack the fuck up. Enjoy.]

Things that, to our knowledge, Steve Trachsel did not do last night:
  • Kill an immigrant baby. That was nice of him.
  • Fill his cap with bubbling canola oil and fling it at home plate umpire Jerry Layne.
  • Wear shoes with velco closures.
  • Poke Jose Reyes until he cried.
  • Dump several beers over Stephen Teitelbaum's head and toss his Jordy into the mezzanine level
  • Play Missy Elliot's "One Minute Man" on the clubhouse stereo before the game. Although it would have been appropriate, in retrospect.
  • Fellate Scott Spezio in a back hallway in between the clubhouses while David Eckstein filmed the whole thing.
  • Shiv the Irish Tenor. Another mark against him.
  • Give his personal tickets to Anna Benson + 1
  • Dump PCBs into the Hudson.
  • Lean back.
  • Throw a fucking strike.
Now, some of these failures were more damaging to the Mets' cause than others, it is true. Jeff Suppan's Quantum Leap-style transfer into Bob Gibson's body for the evening was also unforseen.

But I think it's safe to say we've seen Stevie's last start in a New York uniform.

Good riddance. Take your goddamn corkscrew with you on the way out.

There's no way Willie can bring him back in the event of a Game 7. No way in cold hell. Assuming the team gets out of tonight's Oliver Perez start alive, it's going to have to go something like this.

Game 5: Glavine
Game 6: The Maine Event
Game 7: Darren Oliver

Hel-lo! That ought to perk everyone up. Oliver was a starter for 10 years, through 2003's crap showing in Denver, so it's not like they would be throwing out a neophyte. The real fun is discussing what happens in a potential World Series. You're looking at a situation where you say to Phil Humber, "Hey, how'd you like to make your first career start when it really counts?"

Anyway, fuck it. Tonight's a new night, and I feel a touching up of Anthony Reyes coming on. For now, let's clench our jaws, and through our teeth, bid farewell to the misunderstood genius that is Steve Trashel.

Career record: 134-143. Don't ever let us catch you around here again.

P.S. Interview with Game 4 starter Oliver Perez here.

Shawn Green has truly exemplified himself to be the worst right fielder by trade, ever. When he dove to get to Spiezio's pop up in game 3 look at his glove. please peep how it was in no position to make the catch and/or block the ball.
also, why does he play every Cardinal batter 3 steps in from the warning track?
Can someone tell David Wright to wake up(I swear I have seen his line get burned 2,3 times this postseason when he should have been standing right on it in a late game situation)?
Can that same someone tell Jose to stop freakin playing with the bat while the pitcher begins his windup?
Obviously, I am not tense....

OK, it is currently 2-1 Mets, but I don't understand why Bannister isn't around for this series. Isn't he better by now?
