The Mets, confident that they have no serious competition for Derek Lowe’s services, do not intend to raise their three-year, $36-million offer to the righthander at this time, a person informed of the club’s thinking told Newsday.

Mets general manager Omar Minaya and his lieutenants also have internally discussed a plan to re-sign Pedro Martinez — assuming Martinez is amenable to a contract with a low base salary and heavy with incentives — and mix and match Martinez, whose last 21/2 seasons have been plagued by injury and ineffectiveness, with rookies Jon Niese and Bobby Parnell.

I just started facebooking more in the last couple weeks. I think there’s a little facebook resurgence happening out there. I got a whole bunch of friend requests all at once so I went in there and upgraded my page. It’s pretty addictive.

That shamwow guy is one freaky individual. He had a new product the other day: some kind of onion chopper or some sh!t. Him and his rogue eyeball were hard-sellin’ my ass but I just said, “No, freaky shamwow guy, I ain’t buyin’ that crap.”

Yeah what is the deal with that, DL? It doesn’t seem like a normal transaction where you show up with something to sell, they make you an offer to buy it, and you can either take it or reject it. It’s more like, “Here, why don’t you go ahead and send us your precious metals in this here envelope and we’ll be sure to get a check out to you at some point.”

Vince Offer, the Shamwow guy

In 1999, Offer released the Underground Comedy Movie to scathing and extremely negative reviews. Lawrence Van Gelder of the New York Times described the movie as “a series of sketches built around subjects like masturbation, defecation, alienation, urination, necrophilia, voyeurism, casual brutality and mockery of the unfortunate.” He added that Offer “makes the common mistake of equating the recognition of comic potential for comedy itself. For the successful, talent bridges the gap, but here it is absent.”[1] DVDs of the film were marketed via television infomercial.

The film also generated several lawsuits. Offer filed a copyright-infringement suit against Peter and Bobby Farrelly and Twentieth Century Fox, claiming that 14 scenes in There’s Something About Mary were taken from his own film. The Farrelly brothers responded, “We’ve never heard of him, we’ve never heard of his movie, and it’s all a bunch of baloney.”[2] In addition, Offer sued Anna Nicole Smith for breach of contract, alleging that Smith had agreed to appear in Underground Comedy Movie but backed out, claiming it would hurt her career.[3]

In 2004, Offer, an ex-Scientologist, sued the Church of Scientology, alleging it had declared him a criminal and had urged its members to “write false and malicious reports against him.” Offer claimed that the church’s action against him caused him to lose a successful business, as many of his employees were Scientologists who quit upon learning of the church’s actions. His attorney was Ford Greene.[4]

Dodgers Rumors: Manny, Andruw, Saito
By Tim Dierkes [January 5 at 9:30pm CST]

Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times has the latest on the Dodgers, as well as free agent pitcher Pedro Martinez.

* Nothing much to report with Manny Ramirez - there has been no new offer from the Dodgers yet but the two sides are still talking. That two-year $45MM offer Scott Boras dissed isn’t looking too bad anymore.
* Boras is “just looking for a situation” for Andruw Jones. I see. Boras had a meeting in November with Ned Colletti and Joe Torre and the three decided to rework the contract and get him out of L.A.
* Hernandez says Trevor Hoffman remains a possibility but the Dodgers haven’t heard back from Takashi Saito.
* The Dodgers are not pursuing Pedro, but he’s narrowed his choices to two teams in each league according to his agent.
