Sherman: Mets’ roster of rubbish makes it impossible to evaluate Collins

Roster of Rubbish? I know some people were down on who joined Armisen on stage…but this is ridiculous!

And Collins’ team isn’t winning. So you should understand why he might be losing it. He turns 64 later this month. He was run out of Houston and Anaheim. There is no next managing job. This is more than his last best chance. It is just plain his last chance to prove he is a good major league manager.

...For if you know whether Collins is a good manager or bad manager based on his Mets ...

He chased some dude around the spring training site one time, didn’t he, or something?

Guillermo Mota. Who threw a glove at him when he charged the mound.

Who throws a glove? Honestly!

he needs to go get with Jesse Owens or somebody on his speed

Jesse Owens: One of the many people who is slower than Mike Piazza.

Jesse Owens: One of the many people who is slower than Mike Piazza.

To be fair, Owens has been dead for 33 years.

Shouldn't that say "present Astro Roger Clemens?" Isn't he coming back this year? Isn't he? Please?

Surprisingly Clemens handled that pretty well.

The Astros' budget can't handle whatever the minimum salary is for a 25-year veteran.

Seems to me you either charge the mound or STFU about it.

From another excerpt I read, Piazza was honest enough to admit that the fact that Clemens is a pretty big dude also played a role in his decision not to go after him. BB-REF has him listed at 6' 4", 205 lb. (and Piazza at 6' 3", 200 lb.), but Clemens looked a heck of a lot beefier than 205 by the time he was pitching for New York.

Mindy McCready dead of an apparent suicide.

Why did she kill the dog? Jesus, that's strange. It's rather Hitlerian--pretty fast Godwinning of the thread, eh?

Why did she kill the dog?

So it could serve her in the afterlife? Because it told her to? Who knows? People who kill themselves aren't thinking clearly.

I'm just glad she didn't kill the kids, too.

Mindy McCready was good in the beginning, but went too far.

This headline was way better in the newsblog listing, with the ellipses.

Per MLBlogs, Clemens for some reason felt the need to "meet with the media" and "hand out a typed statement" about McCready.

Yes, this is sad news.

I had heard over time that she was trying to get peace and direction in her life.

The few times that I had met her and her manager/agent they were extremely nice.

Not 'some reason' - a very specific reason, since she claimed to have had an affair with Clemens (apparently never substantiated or backed up by anyone). So I'm sure Clemens was getting calls from the media trying to get some reaction from him.
