Shocking

@AdamRubinESPN: Logan Verrett demoted as well. #mets
Clippard  
pjcas18 : 7/28/2015 6:27 pm : link
makes slightly more sense now. even though he fit already. just less crowded back of the bullpen
Good riddance

Never liked this clown and his fucking ridiculous antics on the mound.

You nailed it yesterday
Couldnt even make it  
KWhite2250 : 7/28/2015 6:30 pm : link
A month without getting caught again? Fucking moron
Was hoping he was traded  
Giants2012 : 7/28/2015 6:31 pm : link
before the deadline.

So much for that.

LOL, buzz turned into noise unfortunately
thank god

we got Clippard first.
With Mejia suspended, does that free up his $$$ for a bigger trade?  
NYG27 : 7/28/2015 6:40 pm : link
Since the Mets will recoup the salary owed to Mejia, would that help us setup for a bigger trade?
wow, that's a special kind of stupid  
WeatherMan : 7/28/2015 6:45 pm : link
lucky for the Mets that came out after they got his replacement and not before
A couple of notes  
Defenderdawg : 7/28/2015 6:47 pm : link
@AdamRubinESPN: Sandy Alderson wasn't specific -- not sure he knows -- whether Mejia's positive test was before or after activation from 1st suspension.

@AdamRubinESPN: Sandy Alderson received heads up on Monday from MLB about suspension. Trade for Clippard already was done.

pj, for those of us who didn't catch the exchange between you and Shecky, could I ask that you cut and paste, or summarize?

(By the way, we were up in Gloucester this w/e visiting friends, and my buddy said this winter totals rivaled 1978. I was thinking about the exchanges we had as you (and we down here) were continually digging out. By the way, how was Hawaii?)

Trade for Clippard was not done when Mets got the news. but probably would have gotten done regardless.

I thought Mejia was going to get traded, PJ correctly guessed steroids. Nothing more than that.
this was the exchange  
pjcas18 : 7/28/2015 6:55 pm : link
thanks for asking, I had to bail on Hawaii, broke my foot in hockey and had surgery a couple weeks before the trip. next year is Maui and I like it better than the big Island anyway.

Yeah, we had snow up to the top of our street sign, I took a picture of my kids hanging on it, and then another one this summer when they couldn't touch obviously anywhere near it - puts it in perspective.

not being available for the playoffs than it does about Parnell. who knows.



It also may have increased the odds we loss Mejia


In a trade or another suspension?
thanks, Shecky  
ColHowPepper : 7/28/2015 6:55 pm : link
amazing how stupit some of these highly paid, overpaid, privileged athletes are...cautionary tales seem to abound for NY sports teams
I was guessing trade too - specifically for Parra  
Eric on Li : 7/28/2015 6:56 pm : link
that's the biggest letdown of this suspension. We already knew we weren't seeing Mejia in any games that really mattered.
Mejia has played his last game as a Met  
Ira : 7/28/2015 6:56 pm : link

wow, pj,  
ColHowPepper : 7/28/2015 7:00 pm : link
yes, you nailed it. WTF is it with some of these guys? Was this a performance enhancer, or was he just getting high?

re. not making it to Hawaii cuz the old man broke his foot in a senior league hockey match: I bet the wife was thrilled, absolutely thrilled.

Are you still married? lol
This is about the dumbest story I've ever heard  
Ten Ton Hammer : 7/28/2015 7:01 pm : link
and most likely the dumbest player ever.

This is the non-physical equivalent of blowing your fingers off.

My wife wasn't that upset, her parents were going to be watching our kids and the dog and they're older so we were worried about that, plus as much as I love Hawaii, it's a pain in the ass getting there, we've been 4 times, seen each island (except molokai and lenai I think those are all we've missed) and it was actually a little bit of a stress relief not to go. though being 6 weeks non-weight bearing was a totally unexpected major debacle/hassle

when the company is paying though it does sting a little to miss the trip.
Not getting into a Mejia good guy/bad guy debate  
Shecky : 7/28/2015 7:06 pm : link
Because it's useless.
BUT
This suspension does give me the slightest glimmer of hope that he really was taking something without knowing what was in it. Or at least I am hoping so...

Wouldn't you just stop taking things at all after the first suspension?
Awesome..  
Modus Operandi : 7/28/2015 7:09 pm : link
This means Mejia can win Comeback Player of the Year in 2017.
Hes a fucking idiot

He just made himself a trivia question

for down the road. Actions have consequences, see ya Mejia don't let the door hit in the ass on the way out
Stanozolol and Boldenone

Winstrol i believe
Now Clippard becomes much more important

and probably the 8th inning guy in Queens

Completely agree here. Can't possibly be that desperate (though I didn't think anyone would be dumb enough to have that happen once and then use the same products again).
whos the bigger asshole?  
spike : 7/28/2015 9:29 pm : link
Puello or Mejia? Both are very selfish
mind boggling stupidity on Mejia's part  
Torrag : 7/28/2015 9:34 pm : link
the Clippard acquisition looms large and may just have saved our season. At least this news broke after that deal was consummated or Mejia's idiocy could have provided Beane with enough ammunition to wring greater compensation from us.

Puello did have a PED issue, but he's hardly unique in that regard amongst MLB players.
