Tommy Milone

I think the radio guys just announced the Mets have acquired lefty Tommy Milone, recently DFAed by Milwaukee. Had a decent run with the A's a few years back.

Better idea than Mat Latos who was recently DFA'd by Toronto He had some decent seasons a few years back too, but not lately and, besides, he's a dick with far too many dicky tattoos.

Can we call him "Mayday"?

Edgy MD May 07 2017 10:35 PM Re: Tommy Milone

Just don't call him Deadpool or Gambit or Atom something the like.

Benjamin Grimm May 07 2017 10:44 PM Re: Tommy Milone

How about "Millie the Model"?

Edgy MD May 07 2017 11:18 PM Re: Tommy Milone

It would certainly motivate Harvey to show up for the ballgames.

Pitch-to-contact guy, even at his best, which was 2015 and earlier. Sharply increasing HR/FB and hard-hit numbers over the past season-plus. So, "Shellhead," maybe? This may not be the best fit.

Desperation move. He's probably better than Wilk and certainly better than Montero.

Edgy MD May 08 2017 05:54 PM Re: Tommy Milone

Milone has worn 33 at his last two stops. If the Mets really want to punish Matt Harvey ... .

Benjamin Grimm May 08 2017 06:09 PM Re: Tommy Milone

... they should set Milone up on a date with Adriana Lima.

themetfairy May 08 2017 06:13 PM Re: Tommy Milone

I'm sure he'll get the 35 off of Adam Wilk's back. Perhaps with Wilk's name still on it.

Milone will wear 29.

Maybe the best punishment for Harvey would be to give Milone his number and re-issue Harvey something like 68 or 74.

Run with it, kid.

Milone had a couple of decent years with the A's. His last port of call was the Twinkies.

Nymr83 May 10 2017 05:27 AM Re: Tommy Milone

i like the move - what else were you going to do? he has hte potential to fill in capably with all the injuries - unlike Adam Wilk!

Chad Ochoseis May 11 2017 05:25 AM Re: Tommy Milone

In Gotham's fair city Where the pitching's not pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Tommy Milone He gave us five innings And we should have been winning Crying the bullpen and fielding, oh how they blow The bullpen and fielding, oh how they blow He sure was a pitcher But no belly itcher With men on he even drove in a run He gave us five innings And we should have been winning Crying the bullpen and fielding, oh how they blow The bullpen and fielding, oh how they blow His lead, well, we blew it, and that's all there is to it But we've not seen the end of sweet Tommy Milone He'll give us more innings And maybe some winning Crying the bullpen and fielding, oh how they blow The bullpen and fielding, oh how they blow

Great song

Edgy MD May 12 2017 02:55 PM Re: Tommy Milone

He failed as a Twinkie Folks thought he'd be stinky And the Mets, they would call up Las Vegas that night Saying "Send a new pitcher! Dutch! Greek! Lubavitcher!" But Tommy was decent Oh, how could they know?! Oh, how could they know?! They'd all seen him throw! As Tom slayed the Giants, they cried, "How could we know?"

Funny typo in USA TODAY NETWORK piece, "So call off any plans for a Tommy Milone bubble head promotion."
