“I can’t wait to face those chickens,” Mets closer Frank Francisco told The Post when asked about playing the Yankees in this weekend’s Subway Series at Citi Field. “I want to strike out the side against them. I’ve done it before.”
Full article is here.
On the season, Francisco has a 5.04 ERA and a 4.05 xFIP — just the type of numbers you want from your closer.

I’d still take those numbers over 1 torn ACL from my closer :(. (still crying)

Frank,
Just make sure there are runs on second or third base. Strike outs will be sure to follow…

Turns out I lost $50 million of my money to this crappy business I started. I will be interested to hear from all the brain dead third graders that said I only lost state funds.
I am still a douche and everyone is even happier to hear that now I am a broke douche, but I hope this illustrates how fucking stupid some people are when they read the news.

Don’t worry, you’ve always got a job at Eating Sox Penis’s Nightly!

Typical rebloodlican, yeah you lost a shitload of money, dickhead.
But 50mil of your own, you’ll pardon me if I have doubts. I wonder if this is on politifact and you’re a pants on fire liar?

I call bullshit. I want proof. He’s hiding money. $50 million of his money + $75 million of government money poof up in smoke? Bullcrap, he’s on a PR blitz to avoid looking like a government grubbing whore.

Um, I’m kinda busy right now, or else I would.

Isn’t this the same asshat who hit an innocent woman in the face with a folding chair? And he’s calling us chickens?
K-Rod June 22, 2012 12:59
Bitch please, that’s nothing. Lay a huge beatdown on your father-in-law, THEN we can talk, Frank.

I should have killed you when I had the chance.
Rafael Soriano June 22, 2012 13:04

At Citi field tonight there will be two teams, but one story The Mets. You can go there tonight & watch a team with a $200 million dollar payroll or you can watch a team in every sense of the word. YOu can watch RA Dickey, who is the best story in the sport or watch David Wright the third baseman you want at bat with the game on the line. Watch Terry Collins fiery passion or the blossoming first baseman Ike Davis. Just remember what you feel tonight, like what Shea felt like in 69 or 86. These Mets make you watch. The Yankees, nice players but no team. Roger Clemens took steriods & so did A-Rod. The Mets are clean, team, a team worth rooting for. Bobbu V has the Yanks lookng over their shoulders. The Summer has just begun. So has my menstrual cycle,

You work Carny’s too?

I thought I told you to stay away from the varsity?

Jesus Christ, is that a Mighty Ducks 3 reference?
Keenan Williams June 22, 2012 17:09
Who you calling “white” trash?
Kevin S. June 23, 2012 10:23
That you even need to ask that makes me want to not like you.
Frank Francisco June 22, 2012 23:16
I talk the talk and I walk the walk motherfucker, welcome to citifield bitches
Curtis Granderson June 23, 2012 01:56
You’re welcome
The Truth June 23, 2012 07:03
Curtis to you and your teammates STOP LOOKING AT EVERY FUCKING PITCH. 0-2 wha tthe hell did you think was coming?
Fucker June 23, 2012 09:48
0-2 is generally out of the strike zone to make the batter chase. Not saying Curtis should have watched a meatball go by, but 0-2 is not a fastball count.
Brian Cashman June 23, 2012 04:21
Biggest Game of the Year. To prove that we are not the chickens Frank said we were and Andy Snitch shits the bed.
Simon Adebisi from Oz June 23, 2012 09:17
They should rename Citi Field OZ because Andy got fucked proper in the first inning.
