Newsday.com’s columnist and apparent Homosexual, Stephen Haynes put together a list of the prettiest boy athletes in the New York State area. (if you think thats offensive, I was going to say raging Homosexual)

Some odd choices and a few I’ve never heard of since some are Hockey players and real men don’t follow Hockey — I prefer to stick to sports

Although Daniel Murphy did not make the cut, my sources tell me that he was close, coming in at #12 and again at #33.

If he continues to go 3-4 with 5 RBI every fourth game, he is sure to lock in at least the #6 spot of prettiest boys according to Ms. Stephen Haynes.

A special thanks to my father, Mr. Kesten who has brought to my attention, this most appropriate of anagrams for Daniel Murphy

UNDER PLAY HIM –  which is what Jerry loves to do

It is with great sadness that Ramon Castro has been traded to the White Sox for Lance Broadway (I have no idea who this guy is, but his name sounds like he should be in porn.)

You will be deeply missed, Mr. Shrek.

It should have been Schneider.

Please enjoy this solid video Tribute to Mr. Ramon.

Enjoy children…

Flushing, NY – New York Mets General Manager Omar Minaya announced today the team has signed Instant Replay to a major league contract.  A late season call up in 2008, Instant Replay had mixed results in the early going, losing in its debut when an Alex Rodriguez homerun was upheld after a challenge by the Tampa Bay Rays. 

This season, however, Replay has been far more successful, including a perfect 5-0 record with Mets.  “The Mets just felt like the right fit for me.  Jerry [Manuel] has already shown a real willingness to use me in game situations, at home and on the road,” Replay said in explaining why he chose the Mets despite interest from other clubs.

Minaya, meanwhile, gushed about Replay’s abilities. “He’s a three tool player.  He can determine whether a home run is fair or foul, whether a home run actually clears the fence, and whether a fan interferes with a ball.  And he’s still young.” 

However, Replay has its detractors around the league.  Having already signed an endorsement deal with Sharp Aquos, some argue Replay has been given too much too soon.  And many fans and a few GM’s still oppose its presence in the sport.  “Look, most of baseball once thought black players had no business in the game.  But then we were blessed with Jackie Robinson.  I’m not saying I’m like Jackie or anything, but if I can have some success at this level, then maybe it’ll open the door for other forms of Replay to make it to the Bigs – plays at the plate or plays at first or balls and strikes – who knows!  Trust me, there’s a lot of talent in the Replay Leagues.” 

Details of the contract have not yet been disclosed, but it is believed to be a one year deal worth a year of HBO and a new remote.

Newsday talks about the Replay Reversal that gave Murpher a homer as the Mets win…

Daniel Murphy had a career night tonight. Murph went 3-4 with a career high 5 RBI.  In the 6th inning he connected on a shot that hit off the Subway sign in Right Field that was originally called a double, however, for the fourth time in the past week, a replay was needed and the called was overturned.

Murphy topped off the night with a 2 run RBI double to deep left  in the 7th.

He was stranded at 2nd when Fernando “I don’t run out balls” Martinez popped out to Center on an unnecessary sliding catch.

Murphy looks like he has his swagger back.  Great night for him and for the first place New York Mets.

I don’t think Jerry will be benching him Friday.  But you never know with this guy…

Editors Note: A very special thanks to Daniel Murphy for giving this site at least another few days of life
