Bill Madden writes for the New York Daily News. Like most columnists there, he says stupid things. His latest headline killed more of my brain cells than a life time of drinking ever will.
For Mets, Brian Schneider might be biggest catch of the offseason
It's funny too, because he even writes later on in the piece (of crap):
...it was no secret Schneider had actually been Minaya's third choice - behind free agents Jorge Posada and Yorvit Torrealba - to replace Paul Lo Duca...
So, the third best option for a replacement catcher might be a bigger acquisition than JOHAN FUCKIN' SANTANA?!?
In revisiting the Schneider deal (which also brought outfielder Ryan Church to the Mets), Minaya noted the other day: "We're a team that is going to win with pitching, speed and defense. That's our formula and, as such, we felt going into the offseason we had to address catching from a defensive standpoint rather than on offense. Paulie gave us more on offense than Schneider's gonna give us, but Schneider has a reputation for working really well with pitchers and with so much emphasis on our pitching that's going to be important for us."
I have no beef with Scheider, even though he apparently (judging by his 77 OPS+ and .326 OBP) can't hit the ball out of the infield during batting practice. I'm sure he's a swell handler of pitchers (even though you heard jack shit about this guy until he came to NY). However...HE DOES NOT COMPARE TO THE BEST PITCHER IN MAJOR LEAGUE BUTT FUDGIN' BASEBALL!!! OMFGLMAOBBQSAUCEDRAGONFART!
Talk about trying to turn a frown upside down.
