  1. Well whatever. Damaged goods.

    woo!
    I think they can now place the champagne on Ice!

    Oh no, mine as well give the phillies the division (sarcasm)…Bensons issue was keeping the ball up..if he does that in CBP the ball will never land…

    Psychologically, how can the Mets get past having to watch Maine and El Duque ably fill 2/5 of their rotation knowing that rehabbing Philadelphia Phillie Kris Benson could still be theirs? Talk about a mental edge.

    Almost as bad as knowing we have the good Astro-turned-Phillie closer while the Phillies have the head case…

    Can we post a poll on the ex-Met who missed all of 2007 who will be most useless? Benson or Hampton?

    “I told (Kris) — because that’s the biggest thing in athletics, they cheat all the time — I told him, cheat on me all you want. If you get caught, I’m going to screw everybody on your entire team — coaches, trainers, players. I would do everybody on his whole team.”

    “If I’m lining them up,” Anna said, “I’ll (also) circle into other teams. Whatever team he’s playing, I will screw all them, too.”

  8. The Captain says:

    If Kris cheats on Anna this year, and since the’ll be close to NY, does the entire Met team still get to bang Anna? Lucky Johan with these French benifits.

  9. guierllNO MOta says:

    you mean we don’t get french benefits?

    ha, good one, and fedex is cheaper than UPS!

    Probably won’t pan out, but I don’t see how you get on the Phils for making him a minor league offer-most teams do stuff like this. You do need pitching depth, maybe he provides some, maybe not. Even the mighty Mets had to start guys like Jason Vargas last season (twice!)

      Thing is, you get Anna in the deal, too . . . and you’ll regret that one soon enough.

  11. coreynyc says:

    I wonder if Brett Myers will teach Kris the best way to deal with Anna when she gets out of line

  12. GravediggerHebner says:

    Maybe now he’ll finally live up to his being the number one overall pick in the draft. Yeah, right.

  13. dykstraw says:

    i don’t see what’s funny about this…for a minor league deal benson is a fantastic pickup and a good deal better than tony armas jr.

    i mean, obviously he was not coming back here, but i would very happy to obtain a pitcher like benson with no major league commitment.

    It is amazing how Philly fans are excited about this signing. Kris Benson is poison on and off the field.
