Vote Brad Emaus!

The 2011 All-Star Game ballot is out. And Brad Emaus is on it.

Yes, Bradley Mark Emaus, of the .162/.262/.162  and one RBI major league slash line is on the 2011 All-Star Game ballot.

Yes, B. Emaus, of the 14 games and 42 plate appearances with the New York Mets is on the 2011 All-Star Game ballot.

Yes, Brad E., of the 81 1/3 innings and 53 chances in the field is on the 2011 All-Star Game ballot.

Vote Emaus! Because there’s nothing better than a minor-league player who has been on three teams this month alone making the All-Star Game.

Can someone please explain this Mets-themed PostSecret?

I don’t get it.

If it wasn’t urine, what was it?

I know how you feel, Terry.

This is the lede to a real NY Daily News article

Blah blah blah blah rain blah blah blah Niese blah blah Astros blah blah Mets got spanked. Blah blah, 6-1. We really don't know what else to tell you about this one.

-Andy Martino, NY Daily News

No, seriously. He – and his copy editors – led with that. It wasn’t just a stupid tweet.

Here’s a screengrab, in case you don’t believe me…

I have nothing to add. This stands alone in its stupidity.

Was Brad Emaus given enough time?

The Mets pulled the plug on the Brad Emaus experiment today, designating the Rule 5 draft pick for assignment. This means he’ll be offered back to the Toronto Blue Jays, then put on waivers, allowing any team to claim him.

I think the Mets may have made the move a little too quickly. What do you think?

Meet the real Sidd Finch

A great story about the man who we all know as Sidd Finch.

At least, the guy in the photograph of the most famous pitcher to never live.
