An Important Met Memorandum from the Desk of Fred Coupon: Jason "Baynilla" Bay Easily Trumps Bobby "I'll Show You the Bronx" Bonilla as the Worst Mets Free-Agent Signing of All Time


It's not even close really. Bobby Bo, for all his off-the-field crap, wasn't that terrible. Of course, if the Mets hadn't signed Bonilla, they coulda maybe been in the market for Barry Bonds, but whatevs. Keep a keen eye on tonight's Met broadcast to see Freddy Coups waving the awesome sign above in the stands.

Mo Vaughn?

Mo Vaughn falls under the "worst trade ever" column, right up there with Victor Zambrano, Kris Benson, George Foster, Juan Samuel, Mike Bordick, etc.

On that note, I miss the insane Ape (ier). Solid starter in 2001.

Big Mo hit 26 homers and hit .260 in his first year as a Met. Plus he gave us at least one good moment with his bazzzzzzzonga off Wells that hit Shea's OOTS (inferior to BOOTS but still)

I was there for that.

Jason Bay's got time to recover. He just needs a talk with his bestie, Frowns.

Jason bay has no chance for nothing. Bring back Mark Clark.

How many innings did that sign last before confiscation?

I was sitting in the promenade box, so I was kinda in no-man's land below the highest deck and above the mezzanines. It did elicit some chuckles, but of course, there was an elderly couple vainly trying to defend him with "he made a great catch the other day!" Pathetic. A $66 million 4th outfielder.
