I think that's worse than Brian Matusz or Nolan Reimold Bobblehead Nights.

I don't know... I think a Matusz or Reimold bobblehead would look great on a shelf next to my framed Ty Wigginton All Star jersey.

Don't forget to get it autographed.

The Mets probably figure with four playoff baseball games and it being Friday, this was the best time to reveal this news.

This may be as stupid as the Cano deal.

This may be as stupid as the Cano deal.

 

That's almost the same contract that they gave Jason Bay.

One of the dumber "controversies" IMO is the whole Daniel Murphy paternity leave thing especially in baseball. There's 162 games. He should not only be allowed to take a few days, but it should be encouraged. Hell, I would've supported Flacco if he took off the day his wife gave birth. But that's his and his families choice so I can respect that.

 

Fox Sports: Ayanbadejo: Dolphins questioned my commitment after I put family first

 

While in training camp with the Miami Dolphins and anticipating her birth, I, along with the rest of my family, was on high alert the days before our daughter arrived. Dutifully, I let Nick Saban, my coach at the time, know we were expecting.

 

He made it clear that he expected me to be around and not miss any practice for this special moment for my family. I made it clear that I was going to miss as much time as it took for me to be there in support of my wife and my newborn child.

 

The Dolphins were my first NFL team; as I continued my playing career, I was surprised when I found out the Bears and later the Baltimore Ravens allowed guys to miss as much time as they needed to be there for their families.

One of my former Raven teammates, Nick Greisen, almost missed a game to be there for the birth of his first child. The only reason he made it to the game on time was because Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti flew Greisen in the morning of the game on his private jet.

Also, let’s not forget that in some ways professional athletes are no different than every other working person. We deserve the same benefits, including paternity leave time. We can afford a nanny; however, nothing is more comforting than having your husband there for support and assistance during your child’s birth.
