    How do you walk Adam Eaton with the bases loaded?

    Sweet Jesus.

    I guess I'll elaborate: Spilborghs hits a game-winning grand slam in the 14th.

    Spilborghs grand slam in the bottom of the 14th wins it 6-4 after Giants had scored three in the top. Hell of a game.

    In case you forget, douchebag (yes, you have gone far beyond dickhead status when it comes to the Mets) Santana was TRADED to the Mets. It has nothing to do with being a union lackey.

    You, however, have become a total asshole

    Fuck you!

    And if Santana didn't want to do the union's work, he wouldn't have ended up w/the only team willing to give him a seven-year deal making him the best-paid pitcher in baseball.

    You are a total fucking asshole with this do the union's work bullshit. First Glavine, now Santana.

    So what, the union's MO is to get pitchers to sign big contracts with the Mets?
    Are there others who have done the union's work?

    Holy shit, how did Spilborghs not pass anyone out on the base paths? That was awesome.

    And I'm not sure why you're being a bigger dick than usual, Spnited, but you forgot to add Wagner to the list of guys who went to the Mets b/c they had to do the union's work. Sabathia went to the Yankees this year to do the union's work. It's how this works. Dick.

    Total fucking bullshit.

    And you seem to have left off Teixeira and Burnett, because -- according your total bullshit theory -- every player who signs with a New York team for big money in the biggest market is doing the union's work.

    OK. I'm sure you're right.

    Did Manny do the union's work by squeezing every dollar out of the Dodgers, or does only New York count?

    What about Strasburg holding out til the last second before signing the richest draft pick contract...union's work?

    Yes. And yes.

    But I forgot, you think it's bullshit, so therefore you must be right.

    I wish I could be half as right as you just once.
