Mets Complaining That RA Dickey Told People At The Christmas Party He Was Upset Negotiations Were Moving Slow
HB Talk – The Mets have yet to meet R.A. Dickey‘s pretty reasonable demands. So R.A. Dickey took his case to the media at the Mets Christmas party thing today. Now the Mets, angered that Dickey used that event to beef about contract things, are taking their case about that to the media:
What is it with the Mets and their goddam Christmas party? You hear more about the Mets Christmas Party than anything else. Maybe if you guys would just shut the fuck up about it, nobody would know what happened. Anna Benson dressed like a slut? Great! Who fucking cares! Just let the 50 people at the party know she’s a slut and keep it moving. No need to make this big news.
Same thing with this RA Dickey story. Using the fucking Christmas party once again to try and spin shit with their players. First things first, RA Dickey is right with his demands and he has a right to say he thought this would get done quicker. Secondly, if the Mets think they are gonna be able to spin this situation and make The Dickpiece look like an asshole, they are sorely mistaken. Everyone loves Dickey. He comes off as the nicest most humble and respectable guy. This ain’t Kris Benson and his whore wife giving him a hand job while kids are running around at the party. I’m sure he spoke his feelings to a few people at the party and the Mets are stupidly trying to use this as leverage.
I got an idea for you guys – cancel your fucking Christmas party. Have a Hanukah party with Fred and Jeff Wilpon spinning the Dreidel rubbing their pennies together. Don’t invite any players and don’t invite any media and let’s avoid yet another Christmas Party debacle with the press
The Dickpiece is the worst sports nickname ever
I’m gonna boycott another season if they don’t trade his ass
Bravo, KFC. Posts like this one validate that you really are a Mets fan.

Fuck this guy, knucklers are maddeningly inconsistent, who would want to pay big money for this clown.
The Mets front office is full of idiots and they have pretty much run this franchise into the ground the last 5 years, but they aren’t far off in this situation. They have a 39 year old, Cy Young winning pitcher who’s trade value will never be higher and, realistically, won’t be playing for a contending team in the contract he’s looking for. The smart baseball move here is to wait out the trade market and then possibly resign him, if not just let him play out THE REMAINDER OF HIS CURRENT CONTRACT and see what happens. The professional thing here to do by Dickey is to thank the Mets for making his career relevant again and say he understands that they’re only doing what’s in the best interest for the team, not to whine to the media and get the sympathy vote and possibly undermine his team’s trade leverage by saying he won’t resign unless extended
Dickey is gonna win this spat every time, he’s built up enough “good-guy” credibility where the Wilpons have none. Jesus, this franchise has become the abusive husband to my cowering housewife.
I think we should take Wakefield Part 2 in Boston…We’re gonna overpay for some washed up player anyway and we need a starter bad. Maybe he can have another great year in a new league and then we’ll send him to Magic
He can do and say whatever he wants and is fine in my book. He’s the only met in the last five years that has actually overperformed and given anyone a reason to continue watching this team. The mets front office/wilpons will also find a way to fuck up if they trade him anyway.
