A modern day Crash Davis

I see that the Mets have signed 31 year old outfielder, Val Pascucci. Val, if you don't know (and why would you anyway?) is closing in on 200 career minor league home runs. He currently has 193 home runs while with clubs in Vermont, Cape Fear, Jupiter, Harrisburg, Edmonton, Albuquerque, New Orleans, Lehigh Valley and Portland (Ore.). He also played two years in Japan.

I bet Val has quite a hat collection to say the least. He could probably also serve as a consultant to that show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" when he finally retires.

Ok, I am going to pencil him in for "zero" home runs with the Mets in 2010 and he is not somebody I am not going to consider for a fantasy team.

That's just me though.

Coke, you are a lefty, ok?

If you are a lefty pitcher and you can't get lefties out (or even prevent them from hitting it 440 feet), what is your raison d'etre?

You know, Computer Boy watches that Gordon Ramsey show "Hell's Kitchen" which for the uninitiated involves a bunch of cooks/chefs competing weekly on cooking tasks with the ultimate winner getting to be an executive chef at a prestigious Ramsey restaurant. I was watching an episode with him about a year ago when a contestant, and presumably a somewhat experienced cook/chef stumbled badly in cooking some steaks (I think it was that) and then afterwards complained bitterly that she had never "cooked meat" before. WTF?

Same thing going on with Coke.
