Hey everybody,

Even Sidd needs a day off every once in a while. Enjoy some of my favorite “Sidd Speakisms” from the second half until I return next week with a new edition of Sidd Speak.

A magazine cover you will never see…

Julio Franco a postive clubhouse influence? Jenna Jameson would be a positive influence in the clubhouse too, that doesn’t mean she should be there…

Do you ever wonder if you take baseball just a wee bit too seriously? If you don’t know the name of the Prime Minister of Iraq but do know the name of the Mets top prospect in the Venezuelan Summer League the answer is yes…

What do you call it when a team fires a coach for matters beyond his control? Down’s Syndrome.

Carlos Delgado should try some Viagra. It’s the only way he’s every going to hit something hard.

No, the crazy guy with the beard is not me. It’s just someone I slept with in college. Damn you Goldshlager. Damn you to hell!

The Mets play at Shea with an enthusiasm usually reserved for trips to the dentist.

Rick Peterson has hung up the jacket. Next up: Locusts and the seven horsemen of the apocalypse.

Seriously, if Rick Peterson starts growing sideburns I’m going to have to double check to make sure I’m not living in The Matrix.

Someone recently asked me where Grant Roberts is. I don’t know, but it’s a good bet that wherever he is he’s pretty stoned.

If the Mets acquire any more former Marlins they’ll have to incorporate teal into their uniforms.

John Smoltz feuding with Chipper Jones? Who am I supposed to root for?

This is why I don’t do yoga…

The baseball gods are smiling on the Yankees yet again. Apparently Brian Cashman sacrificed a virgin instead of Joe Torre.

Dubious Sidd Speakism Award: Rick Ankiel’s return as a position player is without a doubt one of the best stories of the past few years. — comment I made in last week’s Sidd Speak.

If you enjoy Sidd Speak, head on over to The Metwork for some more good times.
