Do reporters know nothing about negotiations?
nymr83 replied to RealityChuck's topic in New York Mets Talk
you guys are leaving out one obvious thing... when the journalist rags on omar to make a deal and then omar gets pressured into giving up more than he would have later on (or the twins up their asking price seeing all the pressure on omar) this HELPS the journalists, because then they get to write columns on omar "giving too much" when the deal does happen -
i do NOT want livan.

]You're planning a program for Little Leaguers on the dangers of PEDs, and you need a speaker on whom you can rely to have never touched the stuff. Whom do you call? Rey Ordonez!
-
]Who ya gonna call?
-
i disagree on Pujols. I think he's clean. No to Ventura. Derek Jeter?
-
getting back to the game i'll say "No" to Jeff Kent and the next name is Brady Anderson.

AG/DC wrote: Well, re-reading it at more decent hour, I can also conclude that he meant the blame should be shared by those parties to the exclusion of players. I don't think he did (if he did, he should have used between instead of by) but that would be consistent with the first statement. so then he'd be saying that the players have lost control of their union?
-
worth the minor league deal. if he can get back to where he was he'll be a good asset, if not he didn't cost much.
-
the first statement is absurd, the second doesn't really say anything, "everyone shares blame", gee thanks Kaat.

-
i would suggest that funds have already been allocated to the NYPD, the sanitation department, filling potholes, etc. the reason they are part time is that allocatig funds for a city, unlike being Congress or even a state legislature is that you simply aren't needed every day and the more time they spend "in session" beyond getting the basics done is more time they spend wasting our money on fluff.
-
alternatively you could say that time they spend on crap like this is time they can't spend thinking of new ways to waste our money or ban transfats and ipods

]Bud Selig has been given a three-year extension, through 2012, as a reward perhaps for his babbling performance before Congress. Absolutely postively the end of my tenure, he says. did he say "asterick" after that last sentence? he did some good things (wild card, longest period of labor peace since 70's) and some questionable ones (interleague) but he also presided over the steroid era, i wish the owners had decided to look elsewhere by now

Stay, Go, or Call it Quits: 2007-2008 Offseason

i like how they post his 8-11 W-L record (which looks ok with the lowly royals) as well as his lifetime 4.21 ERA but fail to mention his recent history- ERAs of 4.56, 6.20, & 5.57 the past 3 years while making only 19, 20, & 26 starts thanks to injuries. -
soupcan said its amazing how they waste their time, i replied that its not as amazing as their insane salaries, to which you reply that the public money they waste is alot more than that, but we weren't comparing the two, we were comparing their salaries to the time wasted not to public money wasted. so either your reply was meant to mean two different things (one that you disagree with me that the money is worse than the time and second that [having nothing to do with the first point] the public money is worse than the salaries, or two, and this is how i read it and why i responded as i did, you equated my comment as comparing to public moneys which is not what i was doing.)
-
] Now, some moves (Bannister for Burgos, Owens and Lindstrom for Vargas, Keppinger for Gotay) look bad in hindsight even in retrospect i can only call the bannister trade a bad one. the other two were trading away guys who were out of options with no room on the roster.
-
wow yeah, whats up with that?
-
wasting their time telling selig to honor clemente doesnt waste public money, unless you want to count keeing the lights on
-
not as amazing as the salaries they get for a part-time job
-
their own dime? you mean our dime. i'd prefer they went back to their other jobs where they'd do less harm (did you know NYC council members get paid $112,500 a year + additional money for serving on comitees) i also heard that they only work part-time and still get to earn income from other business. bums.
-
just say NO bud. be strong. i can't believe this is what the jackasses we voted for waste their time on.
