In this installment of Caption THIS! we pay tribute to Godzilla.

"Godzilla got into his Box O' Fun between innings"

This fight turned out much like Wilson's career

Jon Heyman has reported the mets rejected a deal from Toronto for RHP Roy Halladay, in return for Fernando Martinez, Bobby Parnell, John Niese and Ruben Tejada.

Apparently, Omar responded with a “resounding no.”

Let’s take a look at these “prospects”

F-Mart:  No longer a teenager but possibly the most over-hyped prospect in Baseball.  People think he’s the next coming of  Daniel Murphy (joke) He’s a tooth pick, can never stay healthy.  Awesome.

Jon Niese:  Will make a fantastic 4th starter….. one day

Bobby Parnell:  I like Parnell, a lot.  No problems with him.

Ruben Tejada:  This kid is *20 years old!  He didn’t start wiping his own ass until, what?… 9 years ago?  Besides, he’s not even close to playing in the bigs.

 Now if you allow me to look at our other gems of the past, again”

Bill Pulsipher:  .406 Win %, over a 5.00 ERA.  Awesome

Paul Wilson:  .408 Win %, just under a 5.00 ERA.  At least he was better than Pulsipher.  Awesome

Lastings Milledge:  Greatest career highlight thus far — Named International League’s Batter of the week.  Awesome

David Wright:  Worked out well

Jose Reyes:  Worked out well

Greg Jeffries:  He was ok, definitely not as good as they hyped him up to be.  Definitely a prick though.

Scott Kazmir:  Turned out to be a very formadable pitcher.  Please don’t tell me I would have been ok with trading him for VZ, I wasn’t.  Halladay is a completely different ball game.

Alex Escobar:  I was excited for this guy, turns out another victim of over-hypeage.  .258 career average.  Hasn’t played since 2006.  Awesome.

 This all being said.  I am furious with this losing organization and I hope the Phillies get Halladay so we can continue our self inflicted misery.  Go get them Philly.

I’m gonna get a lot of shit for this one.

*OK, according to multiple sources, this is BS and may have not actually been offered.  Even if it wasn’t I still maintain my stance!
