    FK: Please don't say "you are" because I don't think I am either of those and just because you think "I am" doesn't make it so. You could have said "I think you are". Your points are valid, and I appreciate your considered opinion because it's usually intelligent and thoughtful. Please at least try to give mine the same deference.

    How about saying "if someone does well, they stay"? Days off, days on, I don't give a fuck. Finally someone does well and he gets demoted but Jeremy Fucking Hefner is back on the team.

    Edgy DC wrote: He hasn't made too many --- a big part of my post. And the jury certainly isn't done on those. Yes, you said that and it's true. He could have made more but didn't like the return (e.g. the Red Sox wanted Capuano the last week of '11 for one start and he wouldn't do it, thinking that it would be easier to resign a player on the team; as we know, he didn't resign Capuano). The jury is in the F. Rodriguez trade and the verdict is "FAIL" as the Mets got back shit. The jury is still out on the Pagan trade but what do you think right about now?

    I'd like to see JV play everyday at 2B because I don't see anyplace else that's suitable for him. Second choice is one place, everyday.

    If you heard Sandy's half-hour with Francesa the other day, "bloodless" Sandy sounded lifeless. Someone else might say "unemotional", but he seemed disinterested in the Mets. Maybe it was having to do a half-hour with Francesa. He said that he wanted to trade for power. With what? Other teams will want Wheeler, Harvey and McHugh. Murphy isn't going to demand a 30 HR player. What will Valdespin recoup? I thought that Alderson would be the perfect GM to get the Mets through the lean years as he worked in "small market" Oakland. Thus far, it doesn't look like he is. BTW, other than the Beltran trade, have any of his trades worked out well? Pagan--no. F. Rodriguez--no.

    Seawolf17 makes me laugh for the 2d time today.

    Way to reward excellence Mets! Reinstate a mediocrity like Hefner and send down someone that did well. If the argument is that it's only for a week, then that's true for Hefner.

    Edgy DC wrote: Takes a lot of baseball instincts to play 2b, also. Obviously, but he's shown none for the OF so put him back in the IF where he played in the minors. If Murphy can become almost a mediocre 2B, then so can JV.

    Valdespin is a 2B, if anything. He doesn't have the baseball instincts to play OF. He screwed up in LF on Wednesday (it may have been Tuesday, when he overran the bloop single), CF yesterday, let's see what happens tonight.

    Well done, seawolf17!

    Zvon's work on the picture of Fboy was fantastic. It deserves a prominent place on the Fman refrigerator.

    Who would have expected Francesa to speak more truth about the Mets than Marty Noble--Noble comes across as so far up Fred Wilpon's ass that he could perform a colonoscopy: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/audio/865-wfan-audio/steve-somers-with-marty-noble/

    Is there anything in here that's wrong? I hope that this was playing the front office. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgyRKcEXYtI

    Adam Rubin ?@AdamRubinESPN Frank Francisco will be the closer next season. He's owed $6.5 million in 2013.

    The Rockies may crumble but Jason Bay is here to stay.

Trade him and get something. If Valdespin is still more idiot than horse, consider him not in your plans. But give him an extended look to find his inner horse. Let Thole catch Dickey, let out-of-shape Shoppach catch everybody else for a couple of weeks. Thole's earned nothing. Shoppach looks like nothing also, but he's the new nothing. I'd love to see JV at 2B. JV seems to be a little "lacking in baseball instincts" so I'd rather see him at 2B, where he has people behind him, then in the the OF. We know what Murphy can do. I'm for anything that decreases Thole's playing time.

    Swan Swan H wrote: Get anything I can for Torres and Hairston - any reasonable offer accepted. Yes. I'm still pissed that Sandy didn't do anything at the deadline, as if a bad offer was an insult and he'd rather lose Hairston for nothing than get something. That doesn't mean you take crap but you're going to lose these guys anyway so build up the farm; you never know who will blossom. I'd include Rauch in the trade-able list (he's going well right now so trade him fast in case he reverts back to his 1st-half form).

    Oklahoma, OK?

The Mets own the team so they aren't moving, it's close to home, and it helps build/reinforce the Mets fanbase in Suffolk County. Heck, call them the Ducks. But since the Wilpons don't have money, the Mets JV will be 3/4 of the way across the country, playing in a league with inflated stats. Read some of the above posts and see the several reasons why your scheme CAN'T happen - none of which having anything to do with the Wilpon finances. I know--but it would be nice if it could happen.

    Keith--chill out about the Rockies mistake, the Mets are making plenty of their own. Harp on those.

    BV wanted his own coaches but ownership dictated who his coaches would be. The pitching coach and BV didn't get along, the team sux, the shit has hit the fan... and NOW they get rid of the pitching coach. Well done!

    How much did TC talk about "fundamentals" and "playing the game the right way" in Spring Training?

    FK--can't hurt.
