Mets look to strike out with Santana

There's no way that happens...

If Santana sucks, no one will take him (not probable)

If he plays well, but they wanna trade him (WHY?), who can take him...Boston, NYY, Los Angeles (of Los Angeles of Anaheim)...San Fran maybe?

well it seems the Mets are so scared of a long term deal they only want 5 so after 5 years why not just trade him

Trenton Thunder is a Yankees affiliate... and I may be the only Sox fan who dislikes the Phillies... (I'm a fan of the rest of the Philly teams... but I'm not a Phillies fan... long story)

true...but they were a sox affiliat in the 90s...

the Phils are like the Red Sox of the Nat'l league..they deal with obnoxious new yorkers, they suffered years of mediocrity plus ryan howard is one of my favorite players now

except instead of years of coming close, we have years of never being close!

+++++++++++

if this deal doesnt get done i think Dan might go M.I.A

there is already a tissues gift...

...and then the priest tells the rabbi - "egg on his face ...says the guy with crowbreath!!!"

If the trade doesn't go thru then the Twins will have lost all credibility. They couldn't get a deal done with Boston, the Yankees told them to go screw themselves, now they're trying to trade a Mercedes for a couple Yugos. After this they won't be able to trade him to Tampa.....

Delmon Young and I think the Twins have proven they can deal with the Rays... You tried a Rays joke and now you got egg on your face!!

they wouldn't be getting much from the Mets right now... if I were a Minnesota fan, I'd be rooting for a stalemate so that Santana may be traded elsewhere, because they can't get much less than what they'll be getting from the Mets

exactly the twins showed weakness in taking the lackluster Mets offer i think the Sox and Yanks both saw they were offering up way too much and if there is another Johan sweepstakes the offers will be less great

I think the Tigers forced the Twins hand a little when they traded for Cabrera and Willis. The Twins had to know they couldn't compete in the Central after that. At least they are getting something for him and saving $13 million.

DEAL! Good news for C.C. Sabathia as well.

God... please don't let this trade go through

Does the city of New York really deserve to lose Santana then the Super Bowl?

If you can't say "You suck" and/or flip someone off I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to live in NYC. They actually kick you out and make you live in Jersey.

well, I live in Jersey (God, strike me down now please?) and I can say New York teams SUCK DONKEY DICK... who sucks donkey dick? New York Sucks Donkey Dick

its worse in boston if you can't say i parked my car in harvard yard you get banished to rhode island

I'm not disagreeing...

The NY Media will have the last laugh no matter what. Trust me. Remember when the wicked awesome Red Sox won the World Series?

No pancakes?

They dont deserve a damn extension

yea i just heard a 2 hour extension...damnit i thought it was over

How embarrasing would it be if they still weren't able to get it done in that extension?

It's 5:06 PM EST...they got a damn extension.....what a joke.

Now I can't leave my computer for two more hours! Come on Omar, get your sh_t together!

WHO is the governing body in these negotiations that declare when an extension can or can't be granted? The way the news people handle these things is ridiculous. hey MLB teams, go home and come back Monday after the Super Bowl is over. Stop trying to force it!

That's right SSR pile it on.

Time for Plan FEMA?

dead air at 6:30...

ya, saw that on MLB.com, but the article says something else...
