Dickheads Of A Feather …

I wish there was more to say and more to decipher about these last two weeks of schedule fillers. I wish there was a reason to get excited over splitting a doubleheader against the Miami Marlins. But the fact that a doubleheader that started at 4:10 PM that featured Daisuke Matsuzaka start the second game ended before 10:30 is a huge upset. Bigger upset still was the fact that Matsuzaka pitched seven strong innings. (Though it is the Marlins.)

But the interesting development was Frank Francisco getting hit in the hand by a shot up the middle by Logan Morrison. I'm happy that Francisco isn't dead. Happier still that no bones were broken. Even happier than that because this might mean the end of Francisco as a Met. I couldn't help but think about the karma that might have gone back to him after hitting Jayson Werth between the numbers on Thursday on a 3-0 count.

Speaking of that, a former Met felt the need to say something about that incident … the one where Ron Darling called Francisco a fool, by the way … on Twitter. So here now from Thursday is our voice from the grave, Shaun Marcum:

Yes Jason werth got hit by a pitch today, and no I wasn't there to see if anything happened before…

But I'm going to open my mouth anyway.

But the guys in the New York booth are beyond clueless when it comes to knowing what goes thru the heads of the guys in that dugout!!!

Even though the guys in the New York booth are technically closer to the dugout than I am because I'm out of a job.

I even heard one of the idiots talking about Hefner, after he made a great pitch and have up a hit, talking about not knowing about

Sorry to interrupt you, but which idiot would that be, Shaun? The guy who went to Yale or the Civil War buff? The one who won a World Series here or the other one who won a World Series here? As many World Series titles as you've won games here. Okay, continue:

Alfonso soriano's bat size. Last time I checked pitchers don't go thru th opposing teams dugout checking bat sizes. #getAclue

Yeah. I don't check anybody's bat sizes, but I check if other pitchers do it all the time.

Don't you love how birds of a feather stick together? It's like when Barry Bonds rushes to the defense of Lance Armstrong. And if it isn't steroid abusers sticking together, it's mouth breathers like Shaun Marcum and Frank Francisco. And it's amazing that the guy they brought in to replace R.A. Dickey couldn't be more opposite from him in every which way. Dickey won 20 games, Marcum won one. Dickey quoted English literature giants. Marcum says "why do you guys have to know everything." Dickey has twitter conversations with fans about Star Wars, Marcum uses four tweets to shit on the two guys whose jocks nobody in that Mets locker room can carry, after tweeting six other times in his life.

Think about it this way, Frank Francisco told Jenrry Mejia to slow down his rehab to collect major league meal money while soaking up the sun in Port St. Lucie, and he still has a job while Marcum doesn't. I'd hate to find out what kind of raging idiot Marcum was to get released while on the disabled list and out for the season. Pinhead.
