  1. Would not make that offer. I could see Matt becoming a real dog, healthy or not. Degrom first please.
  2. Duda? Really? good lord I have seen enough of that show.
  3. A bit OT, but, If San Diego & KC can offer to pay Eric Hosmer 3 yrs or 7 yrs at about 20 million per year why are the Mets not involved. I see zero reason to go to a game this season as things stand now. They truly are the Amazin Mets. oye
  4. 1999 was best for me. Had a corporate box for all home games and was about fifteen yards from Chipper in the Ventura game. I was barely aware it was drizzling. I thought Octavio Dotel would become the next Mariano Rivera. Saw Ventura's ball moving through the raindrops like a star. The moment Finley turned around with his head down and then it was all confetti and Gary Glitter. I have the unused WS ticket sheet.
  5. Dont see it. but for as how the Mets do things lately I generally feel Schtumpted these dayz.
  6. I see zero Mets rumors & such on the interweb. I feel like the owners have the cloak of invisibility. I am very frustrated.
  7. A Geriatic Psychiatrist Mets fan to "Commit" Fred Wilpon.
  8. Suck it Fred. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mets-owner-fred-wilpon-is-reportedly-furious-the-yankees-added-giancarlo-stanton/
  9. The Yankees have made two high level internationals. Sandy is not Cashman. Yankees use their "proprietary" model and retooled to compete for a Championship. The Mets need to be aggressive suitors to sign a J.D. Martinez in the OF & an Eric Hosmer at 1B. Fred Wilpon, if you want to fill your playhouse with fans you INVEST first. Then you WIN, and then you PROFIT. I see the Twins and Brewers as smaller market teams investing in this way. I could see a Yankees v. Brewers (not Dodgers) WS. The Mets cannot compete at that level in 2018. I will eat my ticket money and NOT go to Citifield ONCE in 2018. I kinda hope this "boycott" catches on and a June Tuesday at home has 8,000 fannies at Citi where 6,000 are the Stoopid not in reality 7 Line gang. FANS FIRST IN 2018 Bring it on.

I think the article was meant to further the discussion, and he probably feels pressure to do more than just regurgitate Carig’s thoughts from a week ago. I don’t think the Wilpons really detest the fans or owning the team. In fact, I bet they love owning the Mets. But just have no clue how to do it effectively. The “detest the fans” mantra is clearly overstated. But they do seem to have a disregard unusual for owners. That loyalty oath they asked for years ago was part of it. The comment that they would spend more if people bought more tickets furthered this. It doesn’t work that way. You commit to winning. You put a great product on the field, then the fans show up. Even last year the Mets fans did their part. I don’t disagree with you at all. So many things they’ve said have been clumsy and ham-fisted — at best. They are either getting bad advice, or are not listening to good advice. Thoughtful and true to the core.

  13. These senior issues are difficult to navigate. R-e-s-p-e-c-t!
  14. Is wifey watch somewhat misogynistic?

I like the concept. Study Omar. Omar, don't give Jeff W a hummer. I see the risk of a front office clash but truly believe Omar will caddy for Alderson to better the chances for a full Sandy recovery.. Yeah, Fred ain't done yet. Any thoughts on this?

Nymr83 wrote: Conforto is a year and half younger with more years of cheaper team control remaining. he was already the better hitter last year. why would that be at all tough for the Marlins? it would be a terribly dumb decision by the Mets. Not if Conforto pops his capsule again. Beyond that JCL kinda hit the nail on this.

  18. Safe to say J.D Martinez is more muscled than Lagares. If Lags got 450 PA the new approach could produce 100 K's.
  19. How about Matz and Conforto for Yelich. Any thoughts?
  20. Frayed Knot wrote: Well the Mets aren't investing here, the Wilpons are, or, more accurately, Sterling Equity which makes sense seeing as how they're in the building/real estate business. Not sure how this means that 'we' (not even quite sure who the 'we' is here) are screwed. ... the $1 billion redevelopment of Belmont Park will be privately funded by the Islanders and the Oak View Group, whose investors include Madison Square Garden Co., owned by James Dolan, and Mets owner Sterling Equities, which was founded by Fred Wilpon. To coin a phrase I would hope Sterling to "Make the Mets great again." This is lending for sure. Sterling had choices. Seems like an all in for the new complex before us. God save the Islanders, I like them.
  21. At this point I am Verkempt. The Mets are wearing me out.
  22. The New York Mets are investing in the New Islanders to be built complex in the Belmont Parking lot. We are so so screwed. This angers me.
  23. March 29? COLD!
  24. Centerfield wrote: And it really is amazing how your reaction to everything is to justify and spin. You see liars and you’re drawn to them. You have this irresistible urge to give them a cover story. Me, I just see a guy who hated the Wilpons, got a licensing deal and shut the hell up to protect his bottom line. I liked your analysis in your prior post. 7 line certainly appears to be self serving BS artists. Well done.
  25. Carig certainly planted his flag here.
