Really, it’s why the Mets continue to fail year after year: even the simplest of decisions they have to turn into a big deal. Daniel Murphy has long proven he can hit, the only question is his ability to stay on the field. And no, he can’t play the OF, we’ve seen that. So why [...]

Phillies Get Cliff Lee, Mets 2011 Season Officially Over
Posted in NY Mets, tagged Cliff Lee on December 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Really now, not only should Mets fans wonder why we can rarely pull off deals like this, but why waste your money next year on a losing cause? And at this point wouldn’t it just be laughing in your face if both Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez come north in April?
Mets Get Rid Of Chris Carter & Pedro Feliciano, But Still Have Luis Castillo & Oliver Perez

So far I’m not feeling the Sandy Alderson regime.
Terry Collins? Eh.

Honestly I’m more worried about pitching, what the Mets do with Carlos Beltrain (please keep him) and how much the Wilpon’s are going to spend this offseason than who the new manager is. He’s intense, has a DUI on his record and supposedly lost the clubhouse in both former managerial stints so there is some [...]
Sandy Alderson Needs To Hire A Manager Outside Of Media Picks
Posted in NY Mets, tagged Sandy Alderson on October 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Because I’m not feeling any of them. From Wally Backman to Chip Hale to Bob Melvin, none of these guys excite me. While I understand that the Mets have greater problems than who they name manager, there has to be someone out there that can get the Mets fanbase excited about a little bit. Is [...]
Francisco Rodriguez Does The Right Thing, Settles With Mets
Posted in Athletes in Trouble, NY Mets, tagged Francisco Rodriguez, New York Mets on October 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Maybe that anger management class he’s in is really working wonders: Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez’s confrontation with his girlfriend’s father at Citi Field on Aug. 11 proved costly. Rodriguez officially agreed Tuesday to forfeit $3.14 million in salary already withheld by the organization. In turn, the Mets reactivated Rodriguez from the disqualified list and restored [...]
Get Rid Of David Wright And Jose Reyes And Do What Exactly?
Posted in NY Mets, tagged David Wright, Jose Reyes on October 5, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I can’t comprehend the idea of a serious Mets fan thinking that David Wright and Jose Reyes are part of the reasons why the Mets haven’t been to the playoffs in the last 4 years. Talk all you want about Wright’s lack of clubhouse leadership (overrated in my book esp. on a veteran team) and [...]
Mets Fire Omar Minaya And Jerry Manuel
Posted in NY Mets, tagged Jerry Manuel, Omar Minaya on October 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Thank goodness. That’s two down on my list: Omar Minaya said he has decided against remaining with the New York Mets after he was relieved as general manager on Monday, at the same time field manager Jerry Manuel was fired. The Mets planned a news conference for 1:30 p.m. ET at Citi Field, a day [...]
10 Moves The Mets Need To Make This Offseason
Posted in NY Mets, tagged Jeff Wilpon, New York Mets on September 29, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Really now, it doesn’t have to be that complicated: 1) Fire Omar Minaya. Bottom line: 1 playoff appearance in 6 seasons as GM, then there’s Oliver Perez, Luis Castillo, not resigning Chad Bradford, favoring Latino players, the list goes on….way more minuses than pluses, Omar needs to go. Jon Heyman has a list of 30 [...]
Tim Wallach For Mets Manager?
Posted in NY Mets, tagged Jerry Manu, Tim Wallach on September 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Has anyone in the professional media mentioned Wallach as a possibility to replace Jerry Manuel? With all the buzz Wallach’s getting in light of Don Mattingly already being hired to manage the Dodgers next year, I’d think that someone in the Mets higher-ups would do a little investigating.
