IT'S REMARKABLE THAT U TRULY BELIEVE U CAN SOMEHOW SEPERATE OWNERSHIP FROM GM JOB. UBTIE MINAYA'S SHOELACES AND THEN JUDGE HIS PERFORMANCE. HERE'S YOUR PROBLEM, YOU WEREN'T 'LIED' TO YOU HEARD WHAT U WANTEDE TO HEAR AND ASSUMED THE GOAL WAS CHAMPIONSHIPS WHILE ALL U WERE ACTUALLY PROMISED BY THE REAL POWERS WAS RELATIVITY AND IF A FIRST PLACE FINISH ALONG WITH 2 SECONDS ISN'T COMPETITIVE RELATIVITY WHAT IS? U WANTED CHAMPIONSHIPS. FRED WANTED THE BKLYN DODGERS. YOU REALLY SHOULD'VE SEEN IT COMING. NO, THEY AREN'T LIKELY TO SELL, THEY'VE TOO MUCH INVESTED IN CITI,SNY,THE "TRAIANGLE DEVELOPMENT". CONTRARY TO YOUR OPINION OF ME, I'M NOT CONTENT WITH OMAR'S POSITION, I'M JUST A REALIST THAT WANTS EVERYONE TO STOP GRASPING FOR THE OBVIOUS ANSWERS AND LOOK FOR THE REAL SUBTLE ONES. WAS THERE A FARM SYSTEM BEFORE OMAR? CHAMPIONSHIPS BEFORE OMAR? WITH BOTH ANSWERS BEING NO HOW IS THE CONTINUATION BE HIS FAULT AND NOT THE FRANCHISES. COMPETITIVE FRANCHISES DON'T BUILD FARM SYSTEMS OUT OF NON-FIRST ROUND TALENTS. NOR DO THEY TRADE A BEVY OF HIGH PRICED UNDER-PERFORMING VETS WITHOUT GARNERING MORE THAN ONE MARGINAL PROSPECT BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO INCLUDE FIN'L INCENTIVES. THEY ALSO DON'T ALLOW IDIOT RELATIVES TO PLAY WITH THEIR ASSETS AS A SALVE TO THEIR EGOS. REGARDLESS OF THE CURRENT PAYROLL, APPLYING A "GHARD CAP" PROVIDES STAGNATION AS WELL AS IMPOTENCE TO RESOND TO NEEDS SUCH AS INJURY PLAGUES. THEY MOSTLY DON'T ALLOW BOTH THEIR MLB ROSTER & THEIR PIPELINES TO BECOME SO INADEQUATE AS TO REQUIRE THE IMPOSSIBLE TASK OF BUILDING BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY. FINALLY, WHAT'S YOUR INDUCEMENT TO A SUCCESSFUL FRANCHISE'S GM TO JUMP TO SUCH A SHIP OF FOOLS? WHAT OTHER GM IS WILLING TO BE THE SECRET SERVICE AGENT FOR THE WILPON CLAN BY THROWING HIMSELF IN FRON OF ALL POTSHOTS? MASK, PLEASE ACCEPT THINGS ARE WHAT THEY ARE & NOT WHAT U THOUGHT THEY SHOULD BE. WE'RE IN THIS FIX FOR A REASON. TRY REMEMBERING IT WAS FRED WHO ORDERED PHILLIPS TO NOT CONSUMATE A PIAZZA DEAL WHEN OFFERED UNTIL DOUBLEDAY OVERRODE HIM! THAT THE WAY THINGS ACTUALLY ARE. WINNING WOULD BE NICE TO FRED, CONTENTION, IN HIS MIND IS VERY BROOKLYNISH(BUMS) MASK, I’LL ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS ALL YOUR SOMEWHAT VALID CONCERNS BY STATING YOU CAN’T FAULT THE FASTEST RUNNER FOR NOT WINNING WITH HIS SHOELACES TIED.

By that, I guess you view your comments as long term. I would be happy to look for long term improvement, if there was some basis for it. But, unfortunately, there is none. With the combination of the Wilpons and Omar, the team has settled into mediocrity for the long term. Is there any prognosis for improvment with time? I don't believe there is. So we are stuck with the 2nd most expensive team in baseball with performance among the worst. Mgmt actions show nothing will be done to change this. All we get is excuses and lies. Perhaps you are satisfied with long term failure. I am not and demand better. I like to see victories not unending mediocre play at very high prices. I will not return to Citi until this turns around. And that means the team is sold and people with genuine baseball knowledge are running it.

The best solution is for the Wilpons to sell the team. Nevertheless, I am not content to ride with Omar as you appear to be. I am not ready to cut him any slack because of ownership. His job is to build a strong franchise, both at the major league and minor league levels. Instead, we have a franchise in disarray. Omar bears the responsibility for that even with the ownership problems. What has he done for us lately? In one word, nothing! I am not content to sit with mediocrity. There are some franchises in baseball which are professional, such as Boston, St Louis, Philly, and LA. Recruit a GM from one of those and start to rebuild this franchise. If that involves a sale of the team, so be it. We do not have to ride with the Wilpons forever and carry their baggage on our shoulders. Mets 62, I agree that the problem originates with ownership.

NO CHAMPIONSHIPS? REMEMBER FRED NEVER PROMISED YOU ONE, WHY SHOULD HE? THE BEST TEAM HE EVER DESIRED ONLY AMASSED 'ONE'(1955) NEXT TIME U R IN CITI, STOP, LOOK AROUND AND ASK WHICH IS MORE VALUED THE FRANCHISE WITH 1 WS CHAMPIONSHIP(BKLYN) OR THE ONE WITH 2(NYM)?

But they got out of it most of the time. I still am not sure why Jeryy did not start Figueroa but whatever. Very nice job by the bullpen except for Green, but nothing new there. Even if the score had remianed 2-1 we would have lost, so it doesn't really matter.

Pretty evident that the Mets tossed Parnell out there when he was unprepared to start. A WHIP of 3.33 is horrendous. Parnell is a young player with plenty of potential. But he should be in training in the minors with tutelage by a real pitching coach to develop his capabilities. Instead he is with the Mets having his confidence destroyed and being taught nothing. Befoore we can fix the players, we need to change the training staff. Where are the real baseball people on the Mets staff? The GOAT for this game is unfortunately obvious. It is Parnell who was set up by his mgmt to fail. And so he did. GOATS for the 2nd half: Parnell, Pelfrey, Cora, Perez, Pelfrey, Santana, Niese, Green, Pelfrey, Pagan, KRod, L Hernandez, KRod, Parnell. GOATS repeaters: Pelfrey (3), KRod (2), and Parnell (2). It is very clear that the Mets are a totally dusfunctional organization. Why would any star player ever want to sign here given the current state of mgmt? We are trapped in a very serious situation, with very little chance to escape. Very sad performance in a very sad season.
