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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
The Mets Lack A Killer Instinct
Posted in NY Mets, tagged New York Mets on July 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I’m admittedly a baseball purist, still hate interleague play, hate that the All-star game decides who gets the home field in the World Series and also right on top of my list is player fraternization. Hate it with a passion. And the Mets do way too much of it. Whether it’s David Wright always tapping [...]
Mets Already 3 Games Out, In Last Place

NYTimes.com: Last season, the Nationals were one of a few teams that were worse than the Mets. But on Sunday, they beat the Mets’ best pitcher, Johan Santana (1-1). And they did it behind the pitching of Livan Hernandez (1-0), a crafty journeyman who could not stay on the Mets’ struggling staff last season. Things [...]
Mets Land Jason Bay

ESPN.com: Free-agent outfielder Jason Bay has reached agreement on a four-year, guaranteed $66 million contract with the New York Mets, a baseball source confirmed to ESPN.com Tuesday. The agreement will become official once Bay passes a physical exam sometime next week, the source said. The deal includes a vesting option year that could increase Bay’s [...]
Mets Make Offer To Jason Bay

Great move. We need either Bay or Holliday in left. Bay is just hitting his prime, has a reputation for being a gamer and has a great lifetime OBP (besides the tremendous HR and RBI totals). This is the kind of news Mets fans should be happy to read about.
Reason No. 4,082 Why The Mets Suck
Posted in NY Mets, tagged New York Mets on September 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »
You’d think that even in a long lost season like 2009, the Mets would somehow find a way to reach deep down within themselves and be motivated and inspired by the Florida Marlins coming to town. I mean, this is a team that literally stopped the “Amazing”‘s from making the playoffs the last two years [...]
Tim Redding? Omar Can’t be Serious
Posted in NY Mets, tagged New York Mets, Omar Minaya, Pedro Martinez on January 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Jon Heyman reports that Omar Minaya is on the verge of signing Tim Redding, a guy with 7 years in the majors and a near 5 ERA, to a one-year contract. Are the Wilpons paying attention to this idiocy? I understand that Redding’s would be the fifth starter, but why waste money on this guy [...]
Omar Should Go After Bobby Abreu
Posted in NY Mets, tagged Bobby Abreu, New York Mets on January 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For some reason I’m still not comfortable with the idea of Daniel Murphy platooning with Fernando Tatis in left esp. what with Ryan Church’s precarious health and my still wanting Murphy to play 2nd. That said with the head case that is Milton Bradley signing with the Cubs today and the owner’s clear disinterest in [...]
