For Some Reason I Don't Think The Mets Are Done

The Mets bullpen sucked last year. It sucked mightily. It cost them their chance to win the division and paved the way for the Phillies to win the World Series. And in the past two days they've gone about trying to address this. They brought in K-Rod to be the closer, even though many people have brought up valid points about how he's already on the decline, and they brought in JJ Putz to pitch in the 8th. Sometimes I'm a bit wary about sending a dominant closer back to the 8th inning, but still he's certainly a lot better than what they had last year. But there is still something missing. Who the hell is taking the ball to start the game?

The Mets right now have three starters, Mike Pelfrey, John Maine and obviously Johan Santana and then well nothing. So time to spend more money? Let's see who they could potentially target.

Ollie P: He's been there two and a half years and he's been great. And then bad. And then great. And then really bad. You never quite know what you're going to get from an Ollie P start. Will the Mets dip back into that well? I'd imagine so.

Pedro Martinez: The best pitcher of his generation is nothing more than a #4 injury riddled starter now. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mets bring him back, but I'm leaning towards thinking that they won't.

Bartolo Colon: The Fat man is a free agent and seemingly no one knows about it cause he did limited for the Red Sox last year. He does fit the Mets general description (Latin) though, and my guess is he winds up on the Mets roster as their #5.

Freddy Garcia: You know he's only 32? Seems like he's been around forever. He's also coming off multiple injuries so he could be a cheap get for the Mets as well. Plus he's you guessed it Latin.

Tom Glavine: That made me chuckle a bit.

Ben Sheets: Who's trying to sign Sheets now? Anyone? Perhaps he'll wind up with the Mets when I want him to wind up with the Yankees.

John Smoltz: If Glavine bolted once then why not Smoltz? Ya not gonna happen.

Derek Lowe: They could potentially go for Lowe but I'm not sure what he as a country hunter boy adds to the clubhouse chemistry.

Carl Pavano: I think he's going to go as far away from New York as possible. Although it would be humorous if he went to the Mets and wound up on the DL in Spring Training.

Brad Penny: Eh fat, not very jolly, and white do not make a Met.

Randy Wolf: I don't think Wolf fits the Mets mold either.

So we're guessing the Mets sign 3 of these 4: Ollie P, Pedro, Bartolo and Freddy.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
