"Ha, ha, Funny Guy. I bet the Coupons are laughing all the way to the banks they're filling with moneyfansgoodwillmylife. Why can't this joker take this leisure-activity as seriously as I do and get us Bourn and Halladay and GAH MY BRAIN STROKES AGAIN" -Way more people than I'd ever care to imagine

Edgy MD Jan 20 2013 07:48 PM Re: Quotes of 2013

Yup. Part of me thinks his jokes are his way of provoking the element apparently bordering on jumping ship/having a stroke/exploding to go ahead and do it. Call their humorless bluffs anyhow.

Let's talk about that 50-game suspension, Marlon. “It was Tamoxifen. Tamoxifen combats gynecomastia,” Byrd said Friday, referring to the ailment that involves enlarged breasts in males. “The way that it was written last year by everybody, everyone called it a steroid. It is a banned substance. It was something that I took, not knowing because of the name that I was taking, me not checking the [banned] list for the first time in my career. I’ve said it before: I think you have to be an idiot to test positive. And I was one of those idiots. It was something stupid. I was not trying to cheat. It was a banned substance. It was not a steroid. But, again, you take something on the banned list, you’re going to get caught.” Oh, that's OK then.

Edgy MD wrote: It was a banned substance. It was not a steroid. But, again, you take something on the banned list, you’re going to get caught.” Being the one major leaguer who chose to work with the Victor Conte in the post-BALCO era tends to get you caught too, Marlon.

This link is from an Anabolic Steroid website that explains how Tamoxifen manipuates estrogen to increase testosterone....I doubt Marlon was using it as a breast cancer preventative...

David Wright on why labeling him "our Jeter" was too kind. “I got a chance to pick his brain a little bit. He was awesome. … It solidifies the reason that I kind of look up to him the way that I do, is the way that he treated me during the WBC.” Don't eat the fruit in the basket, David! It'll make you... intangible!

Ashie62 Feb 16 2013 11:22 AM Re: Quotes of 2013

That fruit would be a Tan-gerine.

“I'll never forget last year when I got booed on Opening Day. Jason Bay and I got booed on Opening Day, and I'm thinking, 'Man, this is what it's come to, I guess.' You're not human if it doesn't bother you." --- Mike Pelfrey

If you're gonna boo them, at least wait until they actually make an out/give up some runs.

Edgy MD Feb 17 2013 03:03 PM Re: Quotes of 2013

It's notable to me that they remember who else got booed. That's hard.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Mets fans are the worst. I think this started happening in earnest around the 05/06 season.....at least in my Mets fandom going back to only the late 90's this has been the worst. There is an element that goes to the games just to boo it seems, the last game I was at with my son the bile coming from thugs around us was embarrassing, there was also plenty of fans in our section trying to drown out that nonsense.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 18 2013 09:58 AM Re: Quotes of 2013

I remember Opening Day 1987, the day the Mets raised their World Championship flag and gave out the World Series rings. A day that should have been full of nothing but good feelings. Roger McDowell got booed for having a bad spring training.

Gwreck Feb 18 2013 11:20 PM Re: Quotes of 2013

There was one year recently (2010?) where the entire medical/training staff got booed, resulting in a huge cheer for the first non-trainer person...which was Charlie Samuels.

Edgy MD Feb 19 2013 06:06 AM Re: Quotes of 2013

Way to represent, Mets fans!

Adam Rubin wrote: PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- David Wright’s first session taking live batting practice since the World Baseball Classic went well Sunday, increasing optimism he will be ready for Opening Day. “It’s the next step,” Wright said. “Any time you get to the next step, it’s a significant step. It’s one step closer.” That's the stuff of captains, right there. You can have your Brauns and your Kemps. My boy fills column inches like nobody's business. In midseason form, I'd say.

I think it was quotes like that which initially sprained his intercostal.

Jay Horwitz @Jay_HorwitzPR Have the start of flu coming on. Stopped on the way to park to pick up some Medical Marijuana.It's legal here you know.Game should be fun.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 15 2013 12:59 PM Re: Quotes of 2013

Whatever it takes to get you through a tripleheader.

TransMonk Apr 15 2013 01:00 PM Re: Quotes of 2013

Someone should let Jay know that in Colorado you don't even have to fake the flu. He can remove the "medical" because it is unnecessary there.

Terry 'Shecky' Collins, today: On whether Zack Wheeler should follow Matt Harvey's lead: "You mean find him a supermodel?" On Costas' comment: "All right - civilization's over. Let's rebuild."

Edgy MD Jun 17 2013 02:56 PM Re: Quotes of 2013

Really? Those are both pretty good.

metirish Jun 17 2013 02:58 PM Re: Quotes of 2013

Good for Terry. Costas might opine that the manager of a losing team shouldn't be so funny.

“I just got caught up in his great play. He fed it to me and I had all day, and I just got caught up in his play and I threw it in the crapper. It cost us the ballgame." --Daniel Murphy, on what happened after Justin Turner made the most stylish grab and toss he'll ever make as a shortstop, July 26, 2013

Ceetar Jul 31 2013 08:38 PM Re: Quotes of 2013

Collins said he went out to see Mejía cause he was clenching his hand. Mejía said he was fine. Then Collins told him to tuck his jersey in.

"I don’t think I’m a major league ... let me rephrase that. I think I’m much better at first base than I am in the outfield. I’m a big guy. I’m slow. You can just tell by looking at me -- I’m a first baseman." --- Lucas Duda, trying to be a little self-deprecating, and nearly putting his enormous head in a noose.

MFS62 Sep 06 2013 07:38 AM Re: Quotes of 2013

It seems that Lucas is becoming a little more comfortable with speaking to the press. When he first came up you couldn't drag words out of his mouth with a tractor. Now he is talking more, and some of what he says is kind of funny. Later

From Baseball Prospectus: “Not enough milk or something? No more breastfeeding? I don’t know. Global warming?” —Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, on why his team encounters so many injuries. Later
