Joins R. A. Dickey, Darren Oliver, Henry Blanco, Josh Thole, and Jose Reyes among ex-Mets hell bent on frustrating the Yankees in the name of Canada.

Yeah , he pitched the Sunday we all met up there on Shea Bridge with the kids. His first inning Lorcan was complaining to me that laffey was too slow.....

I have no memz neither. And I have access. From what I heard and read, we didn't miss anything. I couldn't tell you what this guy looks like, what # he wore, or if he throws lefty or righty.

Lefty and 47. Like Tom Glavine, only not as warm and fuzzy.

The only inning I recall watching him pitch was the one against Washington. The Mets had just had a five-run inning to chase Gio Gonzalez and take a 5-3 lead. Laffey comes in, gets the first two batters out, and then gives up three runs.

Yeah, that was what sunk him.

And mostly sucked, although didn't give up as many runs as he could have. Thanks for the laffs.

Four rugged innings at Coors Field yet a six-run lead...and Terry the leader of men took him out to preserve him for a start that would never come despite a weather forecast that could have told him as much.

My lone memory is of the last time he pitched, looking like he wanted no part of the left-handed hitting batters he was facing; everything was away, awayer, and awayest which showed no CAHNfidence by him at all and in turn installed zero CAHNfidence in me.

This. He wasn't pitching horribly, they had a lead, but TC wanted to make sure he used his rested bullpen and also save Laffey (not Johan, not Harvey, not Neise) to have him ready to go on short rest.

He was the guy with the bad body odor standing next to you in an elevator. You never took a real good look at him, so your only memory of him is the smell.

Opts for FA-gency rather than accept a demotion from Toronto

And naturally, getting no offers for guaranteed major league work, he ends up with a minor league deal for the Dodgers, and Toronto ends up almost instantly needing help as J.A. Happ got nearly beheaded by a line drive last night.
