NY is a large market. The Wilpons' are behaving too passively for me to believe all is well. Or, maybe the times or hunger have passed them by. Cueing<< Mark Cuban.

They supposedly had a couple of offers out, at the same time, on guys like Molina and Piniero, which had they accepted would've been a decent boost in payroll over what they have now. Hard to believe they were bluffing those guys. I believe none of the nonsense floated in the offseason about the Mets allegedly making offers to this guy or that. I think a lot of that is crap floated by agents to drive up the price on whatever teams are actually talking seriously. Thank you.

LETS

You have to be fucking kidding me. But I know you are not.

They are just that rumors. Could Fred or Jeff publically say they are are not in dire straits? Like holding or not holding a pile of commercial real estate in Queens that is 10 cents on the dollar. Would Selig call them and ask for the "real scoop" Danged if I know.

Well, Garza is on my fantasy team, but so is Jason Bay.

What does it friggin take for the Mets to enact change?

Ike Davis hit two homers in that game off of that Jints pitcher that never gave up a HR to a lefty all season. Ike also made one of his highligt reel catches in that game. It's still cheesy if you ask me. Cheesy like a fine "Wise" brands snack!

I don't think Oswalt can handle life outside the state of Texas.

Hasn't been up since September of 2008. If Allah is kind, he'll be Met number 890. Current favorite to be Met 900: Russ Adams. Seriously, Hessman so belongs on this squad. I read into this (because what else is there to do on offdays) that Manuel is staying. A guy that's pegged as a power bat? Seems exactly what he'd ask for. And he's desperate to give Wright a day off. I respectfully hope you are sooo wrong.

I wonder if Mickey Mouse would enjoy the fruit fly infested Whiskey at a Brancos game.

McGraw and Frisella were unhittable, and pitched whenever the game was on the line, irrespective of the inning. Back then, reliever usage was determined by the pitcher's ability, by the game and base/out situation, and by the identity of the opposing batters ... not by the inning number. We've regressed over the last 20 years. Because it makes eminent sense to match the reliever to the game situation, rather than to the inning. I really think for the last 15 or so years there were players, specifically hitters, who had as high an energy level in the 9th as they did on the first pitch of the game. To off set this the one inning specialist was needed more, cause what they wanted to fight it with was a fresh and rested arm for the later innings. I really, really hope those days are behind us and baseball adjusts back to when the players were not juicing. And also, with today's advances in health and stamina and whatnot, that are legal, maybe it never goes back to what it once was. But the pendulum should swing back somewhat the other way. That looks suspiciously like the Dune Buggy Frisella rolled causing his death.

Rodriguez has a partial no-trade. Hunter Pence? Seriously, I'd almost be willing to flat out give away Beltran and his salary. I know Beltran has been out a long time but he doesn't look terribly flexible.

Apparently Canada is very clean.

Sell. F Rodriguez Beltran Castillo Francoeur Pagan Pelfrey Yes, all of them Get the team turned around and maybe David Wright will resign.

How about starting a homestand with a new manager?

Any form of this is garbage in, garbage out. If sends Ollie out wrap it up and bowtie it. I have no problem with Tejada learning on the job.

GO!
