RA Dickey Is Going To Climb Mount Kilimanjaro
RotoWorld - R.A. Dickey plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in January despite the Mets’ disapproval of the idea. The Mets sent a letter to Dickey’s agent last month, warning that the knuckleballer’s contract could be voided if he is injured during the climb. “If we thought it was a good idea, we wouldn’t have sent the letter,” Mets GM Sandy Alderson said. “It seems to me that the letter is enough of an effort to dissuade him, and he intends to go on nonetheless.” Dickey is currently training in the Nashville area. He’s making the climb to raise awareness and money for a charity, and to get in peak shape for the upcoming baseball season.
I think I’ve hit rock bottom as a Mets fan like 9 times in the past 6 months. Whenever I think it can’t get any worse I just plow through rock bottom and hit a new low. I just plow through the crust and the mantle and now at this point I see my players are fucking climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and running around town in a goddam gas mask and I think I’ve hit the core of the earth.
Do you know how bad this has gotten? I long for the days of September 2007. I would kill to be completing the worst collapse in the history of baseball. At the time in 2007 I thought that life couldn’t get any worse. I was a dead man walking. Every day and every night just plagued by the constant losing. Now that sounds like a fucking blast. That sounds fun as shit. I’d love that. Sign me up.
Because listening to the Wilpons and hearing about their financial crisis and watching my favorite players walk and watching my KNUCKLEBALL PITCHING “ACE” CLIMB FUCKING MOUNTAINS is a disaster. I mean I know this dude is a knuckler and there’s not too much work to be done but don’t you think RA Dickey could spend a little more time on the mound this offseason rather than fucking base camp of an African mountain?
RA Dickey Get The Fuck Off My Team. Just because.
PS – I would absolutely bench/trade/cut a player who does this against my franchise’s wishes. Whether or not he gets injured
Jeter would climb the mountain faster
Mount Kilimanjaro is 19.431 feet. Jeter would make it to 15,000 feet and yankee fans would celebrate because its a nice round number that people think is more important.
the 15,000 foot club is a big deal
Pure suicide. You gotta know with the Mets being the Mets that if you attempt something like this theres a 110% chance you get trampled by elephants and a hyena eats out your asshole.
RIP Dickey
You say hyena eats your asshole like thats a bad thing
sweet wake up this morning. are you on school vacation this week with the rest of the 11 yr olds who make $0 a year?
no longer the worst collapse, you can thank the sawx for that.
KFC in the comment section with the line of the day
and kfc i usually always agree with you, but fuck you. R…A…DICKKKEY has earned the right to do whatever the fuck he pleases. i bet he’s hoping he gets nicked up just so the mets do void his contract.
RA Dickey is a self righteous pompous dick who runs his mouth way to much for a journeyman knuckler
Closing line of Andrew Marchand’s article on ESPN New York’s site. Best line I’ve ever read in a real article:
Dickey has one-year left on his $7.8M, two-year contract. He is scheduled to make $4.5 million in 2012. Given the Mets’ money woes, it is unclear if they will be rooting for Dickey or the mountain during his adventure.
kfc your a fucking retard why don’t you do a little research cause you sound like a complete idiot climbing mt kilmanjaro is hardly climbing a mountain” The most popular trail for climbing Africa’s highest mountain is dismissively known as the “Coca Cola route”. It has comfortable huts for tourists to sleep in, food and drink is for sale and the paths are thronged with climbers. ” the worst you can get is a little headache from the altitude , and the mets looks like even bigger assholes for making this a story

Loving the RA Dickey hate. How pathetic does your team have to be to get this riled up over an average pitcher climbing a mountain? Also, can we get Lackey to tag along with him? Bring plenty of beer for those steep parts.
Typical loser new yorker point of view. The guys getting in shape for the season AND raising money for a charity which is respectable, and this is how u low-lifes act? Thats why your a 2nd rate sports city at best. Compare the mets acting like that to that Patriots video and ull c y ull always be ass clowns. O and yankees suck too so all of u can fuck off.

fuck it why not.. big mets fan but if i was on the mets i could see why id care more about climbing a mountain
Gronk would be up and back down bangin hoes before either made it to the top…true story
kfc – get the fuck off OUR team
cheers,
every met fan who doesn’t irrationally bitch about every god damn thing someone involved with the organization does
PS – RA Dickey is still the truth.
KFC you’re a moron. That mountain is a like a hike in the pocono’s just with a higher elevation. Get your facts straight before you blog your “big story” articles and make yourself look like an ignorant dumbass.
Old ladies climb that fucking mountain, anybody could do it. I always laugh when celebrities, people doing it for charity, or whatever brag about climbing it. I could do it walking backwards and blindfolded.
The pace that the experts say climbers usually use is compared to a 90 year old, arthritic man…. walking backwards. Sounds really fun. AND tough. Pssshhhh. F’ing media and sports/beer/titty blog sites blowing things outta proportion. (And if there are snacks on the trail, I expect Sexy Rexy to be taking the hike post hence).
I hope his knuckles get frostbite.
Cut this guy now. Can’t have players just saying it’s all about me (don’t give a shit if it’s for charity) and fuck the team. This guy is a hippie left wing nut bag. I hope the mountain wins big time. Cut him then trade wright and Santana and let’s fucking start over.
