Buzz: David Wells likes the Mets
By Matthew Cerrone - Dec 5, 2007 9:47 am

According to Adam Rubin in the Daily News, free-agent LHP David Wells is trying to ‘get an audience with the Mets,’ since he is seeking only a one-year contract and is a ‘good influence on young pitchers.’

good influence…ummmm, okay

At any rate, he has yet to ‘get an audience with Omar Minaya,’ writes Rubin..

…and he will not get an audience with omar, from what i understand

    SIGN HIM

  2. DMAT89 says:

    get him on our team so if we get in anymore brawls, we pretty much are guarenteed to win

  3. BaysideBillyD says:

    Excuse me… did he say “good influence”?!?!?!?!?!?

  4. recoton1 says:

    I just drank a bottle of Liquid Plumber

  5. MetsieFan84 says:

    Why don’t the Mets sign Livan Hernandez, Colon and Wells, not only can they pitch for the Mets but they can also sign a deal where they lose weight with Jenny Craig. Win-Win for the Mets! And whoever gets in the best shape first, gets a contract with the Mets.

  6. stoney says:

    Well he’d certainly make that “big splash” that everyone is looking for. He makes a bigger splash than Santana, Bedard and Haren combined!

  7. tfc3rid says:

    Sounds like we are going to have a hell of a 2008 season…

  8. extrawhitemeat says:

    ESPN is reporting that despite the Mets interest in Wells.. we simply don’t have enough donuts to go get him..

    Other teams are reportedly offering sprinkled donuts and bearclaws.. while the mets only have honey glazed, and one jelly filled which is still a few hours away….

    Man, these winter meetings are getting more and more depressing every day. It is Wednesday and all the Mets have heard is no. It is like the ugly girl trying to get a date to the dance.

    I think Omar should seriously consider Snell and even Millwood. I wouldn’t mind Burnett but it depends on how much they want. It seems our search for a legitimate #1 is over so I just want to see Omar fix the starters and add some bullpen help.

    • JarvisJanesAddiction says:

      Are we that ugly? At least we have a nice personality, right? :)

      Laughing to keep from crying! Man, this is painful!

      • MetsieFan84 says:

        Care to play a round of darts with me? I’m fixing to set up a dart board with all the free agent pitchers there and wherever the dart lands, that’s who the Mets should get.

        And for my preference, the ones that I really don’t one I shrunk to a smaller size, although it takes alot to do that for Colon, Hernandez and Wells.

        • JarvisJanesAddiction says:

          Hey! What’s the big idea of giving away Omar’s secret strategies??? Now everyone know’s!

          Good one, MetsieFan84! Count me in!! :)

        • MetsieFan84 says:

          Hey, if it works for Omar, it has to be right! But I’m sure this is all because Wagner complained that the Mets need to do something and he is trading away Milledge just for kicks.

  10. Slob says:

    Oh no. David Wells is looking for a 1 year deal. Let’s kill ourselves.

  11. Blue_n_Orange says:

    They’ll need a bigger suite before they can grant him an audience.

  12. kevin2elster21 says:

    This overdue humor means we, Mets fans, are finally coming to grips with the realization that we are not getting an ace or even a #2-4.

  13. Metsrmylife says:

    Sign this fat ass so he can eat innings (along with everything else) and he can turn our two young p*ssies (Humber and Pelfrey) into confident pitchers. He’s old, fat and doesn’t have “ace” stuff but he can make em toughen up and have SOME sort of pitching presence instead some blue rubber thing hanging out of your mouth.

  14. Hellbelly says:

    Word is Warren Spahn is “requesting an audience” with the Mets. Spahn, who’s been dead since 2003, is “looking to fill the spot-starter, long relief role” for the Metropolitans.

    Met GM Omar Minaya was quoted as saying “….obviously we’re aware of Spahn’s current state, but when a pitcher with his record and experience expresses interest, we’ll have to listen.”

    • MetsieFan84 says:

      Omar: “We are considering any and all options right now … You know what I mean? If they are buried in the ground, jumped out of a airplane with no parachute or they just happened to come back from retirement at the age of 77, they are all options.” Omar then added “They might be getting older but they are experienced veterans that are pieces for the Mets team.”

      ESPN reports a fan jumps off five story building after hearing this news.

  15. the_other_matt says:

    The Mets GM did meet yesterday with the agent for Octavio Dotel and Shawn Chacon, and at least is talking with Carlos Silva’s rep.

    At least that’s better than the Fatty-3 of Wells, Livan, and Bartolo.

  16. stickguy says:

    He also likes donuts and Beer.

    Ummm, Beer!

  17. gomets2008 says:

    Thanks guys..I came into work late…and this humourus thread made my day…..I think we are the wittiest/funniest fans in the world..I suppose it is due to our sadness…2008 is gonna suck!

    • tonylett says:

      Omar, just Say no to fat slob, mark fuhrman loving, over
      the hill lefties. Please!, for the love of the orange and
      blue STOP this romance of out of shape,old,always
      hurt pitchers. STOP,Omar,Just, Stop!

    • tonylett says:

      You know, they say in the theater, theres a fine line
      between comedy and tragedy.

      • ExileInLA says:

        And the line is lost in David Wells’ shadow, or buried under his empty beer bottles.

        He tried to toe the line, but the toe got gout.

  18. stickguy says:

    Hey, I had a post ate. Wonder what I said?

    recap: Most teams have done nothing. 1 big deal (detroit), medium deal (Phils with Lidge), and 2-3 minor shufflings (including the Mets).

    25 teams that don’t seem to be involved at all.

    SO is this the only fan base that is planning how best to off themselves?

    • tonylett says:

      I understand the old hose from the tailpipe in a garage is
      painless BUT ta gotta make sure no one comes home
      early otherwise you end up like Karen Quinlan or Teri Schiavo.

  19. tonylett says:

    LG-Wells C-Colon RG-Livan,

    Just add a couple of Tackles and THAT’S a hellofa line!

  20. Head First says:

    Omar’s pursuit of new talent is starting to look like something straight out of Major League.

    Mets Exec: “This guy here is DEAD”

    Omar: “Well cross him off then.”

    • AzMetsFan says:

      Hah, I thought it was looking like Major league as well…..and that looking to draft players out of the California Penal league is starting to look like a better option.

  21. tonylett says:

    Damn!!–That crosses the “immortal Babe” off the list.

    But hey, what about the Reuschel brothers? and ‘ol Mickey
    Lolich??
    Plus, if we do sign Wells, he could always E-Bay bid on an old
    Stengel Original Mets Cap! How cool would that be??

  22. tonylett says:

    Wheres Sidd Finch when we REALLY need him?

  23. wrighton05 says:

    Tough call Wells or Lima.

    If the Mets get Burnett, they can have him and Humber in the rotation. along with Tommy John as the new Pitching coach.
