Yes, I would. Could this team be any more boring and lethargic? You have a bunch of 35-year-old dead bodies jogging around the field. Get some young guys in there who can play. If not Martinez -- and maybe he's not ready yet, and maybe they want to keep him off the 40 until they have to put him on there -- then at least guys who have a pulse. Yes, it would cost money, but you're spending that money anyway. Delgado's money is paid, whether he's in the blue and orange and black and gray the rest of the season or not.

And if they don't win in 2008, the focus will be on winning in 2009. Obviously. But if the Wilpons called and asked for my advice, that's what I'd tell them.

But seriously, how fucking great would that be? I know it's a computer baseball/fantasy baseball move that would never work in real life because of the personalities involved, and it's obviously not my $130+ million that I'm playing with, but that'd be fucking outstanding. I'd go on Saturday and cheer my balls off if Jonathan Niese started and Fernando Martinez was in right field.

Blow 'em up and start over. Cut Delgado and his contract; same with Matt Wise, Damion Easley, Marlon, and Endy Chavez. Old? Underperforming? Both? See ya. Get a working part for Heilman? Thanks, Aaron. We'll miss you. Get Anderson Hernandez, who will never be a major league hitter, off the 40. Clear up some room for some of these young guys, bring 'em up, and let 'em play. If this team is going to lose -- and they're going to lose -- I'd rather the young guys take their lumps. Bring up F-Mart, and Willie Collazo, and Val Pascucci, and Mike Carp, and Jonathan Niese, and give 'em ABs and innings. You want to bring up Valentin to mentor the young guys? I'm down with that, and in a pinch, he plays just about anywhere you need him to. Get a hungry young manager in there who's going to kick these guys in the ass and turn this thing around. Now.

I'd cut Delgado and Vargas and see if Mex and Ronnie have anything left.
-
No, I mean I'd make Willie stand up, then give Wally his seat and let him run with it. Maybe Willie would chase him; it'd be hilarious.
-
I caught a little bit of one episode of the Peanuts documentary, and I was actually pretty impressed with Backman's style. I'd give him Willie's seat and let him run with it.

Willie: The Gary Carter Shark is Circling
seawolf17 replied to batmagadanleadoff's topic in New York Mets Talk
I think Gary Carter, classless douchebag, is more likely to be named manager than Mex. -
I still hate this team.

Holy schmoleys! What a way to go.

Paranoia Runs Deep (The McCarver Edition)

I loved Tim as a Mets broadcaster, and I love his books; but I think he's been unbearable lately. -
Sports Journalism Is Not What It Used To Be.
seawolf17 replied to metirish's topic in New York Mets Talk
]Writers and fans alike no longer get to know the object of their affections in a way they did years ago. Okay, Buzz Bissinger. If I wanted to go find pictures of Josh Beckett throwing on the side, picking his nose, making out with his college girlfriend, or fishing with his grandpa, I can find them. It's called the Internet; I can look up Josh Beckett's Facebook profile, or his MySpace page, and learn all I need to know. Reporters are obsolete as you once knew them, and the sooner you realize that, the sooner we can all move forward. I think I know more about my "heroes" today than I could ever care to know. -
I'm not saying the Mets win the game, but Beltran misplaying Kelly Johnson's hit into a double in the seventh negated his home run for me. Best case, Johnson gets cut down at second for the first out, or medium case, he's held to a single, which might change the whole context of the inning.

Santana 2 Delgado 1 Feliciano 1

="KC"]I propose we set up tailgatecentral here: It's a three minute walk for those taking the subway, four if you're fat, but it's the best place to arrive early by car and not get caught up in the mess that is Shea parking 2008. Are all those blue dots where Aaron Heilman pitches wind up?
-
And just like that, two outs. Why the pitching change here, Bobby Cox? Just end the game. Overmanaging at its worst. Why prolong the agony? I hate this team.
-
Wow, that was a pretty play by Santana.
-
And now it's 4-2 Braves. Can't anyone play this game?
-
I hate this fucking team.
-
Beltran misplays a base hit to center into a double. Base hit scores the run. Santana throws a wild pitch, sending the runner to second. First and third... for Chipper. Fuckin' 'ell.

Fuckin shit, other Carlos.

Bunt, Carlos.

I love the word "dillweed."
