The Hennepin is actually only within the Delta Sky 360 club. So you can have it with the panko breaded hot dog bites? I usually try for the Sixpoint Sweet Action, which is also only in that club. Otherwise I'll probably either go with the Blue Point Toasted Lager or Goose Island Wheat. Does anyone go to watch the friggin game anymore?

Even with that fear...if he can't pick up 236 more hits over the next season and a half, he will have regressed to league average at best...or he will have been majorily injured. Cmon..David is a Superstar!

Fuck you Pridie.

Reyes 0.5 Murphy 0.5 Tejada 1 Niese 1 O'Connor 1

This team really needs a colonic.

Jason Bay removed with a stiff right calf and replaced by Fernando Martinez who ws possibly born with a stiff right calf. This has the look of a game that may foreshadow a very long remainder of the year.

If these quotes from Gary about the Sports Illustrated article on Wilpon and the Mets are true just put a tent over this circus for a year or two. Losing 70 Million this year with 400 Million in debt?? And now 200 million buys 49% of the team. The market cap of the Mets has gone down by HALF just since the season has started.

David's a really good player and I like him and want to keep him but not a superstar. Not yet anyway. If you track Wright's production and progress as a player at Shea, he was most certainly a "superstar", in my view. He was in the top 10 in MVP balloting each of those seasons... all-star, gold glove, silver slugger, never less than a .912 OPS... he was our "5-category' demi-god poster child. Then he plays at CitiField and his career goes into the crapper; his 2nd year was a little better, but not great, and this year is more of the same. At Shea, his Ks were consistent (between 113-118), and then at ShitiField he starts striking out at a prodigious rate, even as his HR rate went down. Now, you can say its unrelated to the stadium, but he was 26 when his career went sideways, without any particular injury to cause it. Clearly he has changed his approach to make up for his home field disadvantage and its screwed him up. So sorry Fred, but if Dave's not a "superstar", its cuz you built your team a stadium specifically designed to fuck him up royally. Well done, sir. [golf clap] I heartily endorse this post. Of course Wright was a superstar from 06-08. He was the first player you'd want to build your team around, and the deserving NL MVP of 2007, according to many, myself included, and most other posters here. How can that not add up to superstar? How can somebody be the MVP and not be a superstar? Nice fucking stadium, Jeff. That^

Keith seems to infer every now and then that Fartinez's legs are shot.

Free Fartman!

Unfair to Bradley, but he reminds me of Cameron Maybin & B.J. Upton, both duds.

There is talk of Jackie Bradley Jr. falling into the Mets hands in the first round next month. Plays for the South Carolina Gamecocks and this OF was named the most outstanding player in the 2010 College World Series. 5'10 175 lbs. Bats Left Throws Right.

Back in the 80's, I was in Tampa on business. The headlines down there were saying that one of Steinbrenner's companies was being investigated for major illegal dealings (Ship building? real estate? I don't recall which) with indictments being handed down shortly. I wondered how the New York press would handle that news. When I got back to New York, the headlines screamed "Steinbrenner Blasts Winfield" (for lackluster play). Funny how news of the legal stuff wasn't being mentioned. Later Sounds familiar doesn't it?

Mets fans would agree with Wilpon that Jose Reyes is not worth �Carl Crawford money;� that David Wright is �a really good kid,� but �not a superstar;� and that Carlos Beltran is �65 to 70 percent of what he was.� Bullshit..

Ceetar wrote: Maybe what Wilpon is trying to say is, there is no way Jose gets Crawford money, because he's already signed an extension that hasn't been announced and it's less than that. I don't think the Mets are doomed to mediocrity in payroll. We'll see I guess, what Alderson does around the deadline, and of course where the Mets are. I wonder if that would convince people? If they brought in someone 'expensive'? But the i believe this argument basically reaffirmed that the 200million goes to the team, but if they lose the lawsuit they'll have to sell. I'd say Fred was just greasing the wheels for Reyes' exit, and enjoying it.

I don't think they even make the warning track in citi field... (ok, maybe they do, but seriously looks tiny). honestly, it's ridiculous how small that park is, and makes me feel bad for all non-pitchers on the mets roster. So was Daniel Murphy's homerun to be fair..

One day, after a long fly out or two to right and a few days of Wilponian madness David Wright may go to Sandy and say. "I'll make it easy for you, trade me!"

The potential Exodus of Pelfrey, KRod, Beltran, Reyes will be this generations 'massacre" and management will be blamed with little ill will towards the players.
