I said the day of that interview, and still believe everything they said was just talk to keep season ticket holders in place. It was a cheaper/easier complaint to fix the look/memorabilia of Citi than to rebuild the front office, and is another tool to keep ticket sales going. Mets fans should demand substance instead of cosmetics this off season, we want a team that will be a serious contender. If Omar, Jeff, or whoever is the decision maker nowadays does not make the necessary aquisitions to accomplish that this off season, watch the games from home.

MASK, DON’T BELIEVE THE INVECTIVE OUT OF VENEMOUS NYPRESS, ALL MADDEN LIKES ABOUT NYM ARE THE APPEARANCE CHECKS HE CASHES FROM DNL GETTING PAID HANSOMLY TO DIS THIS TEAM. ANOTHER JEFF PLOY TO GET ULTIMATE CONTROL FROM A DISGUSTED DAD? WHO KNOWS? WOULDN’T PUT IT PAST THE WEASEL=FACED PRODIGY! FROM WHAT I’VE NOTED, HARPER & VACCARO ARE THE ONLY ONES I TRUST TO BE FAIR. AND NOT TO USE THE PLOY, “IF U DON’T LET ME IN ON WHAT’S GOING ON, I’LL MAKE SH*T UP!”

His full body of work was better than every Mets starter not named Johan. His ERA has gotten better just about every year in the majors and would be an upgrade over Maine, Ollie, Pelf, and Redding. I notice you didnt say what his ERA was in the first half of the season.

The mets once again are scouring the slag heaps (Branyan, Guillen) of baseball and checking into the recently injured (Sheets), all in the name of big spending. As I said at the time they gave the Fat Man that interview, you cannot believe anything a Wontpon says. If you did, you should have known better. Even if they could get a Halladay or a Holliday, they would then turn around and sign 6 cheap non-entities and finish third. It is what they do. Every fifteen years or so they might accidentally get it right. Stay home, folks. Wait the Wontpons out.

The only problem with the Mets trying to get Mauer from the Twins in a trade from the Twins is that the Mets got Santana from the Twins in a trade.

Hell,As long as none of the Mets Medical staff examine any potential free Agents…I will consider it a win!

Do you think Minnesota has enough money to resing Mauer? It would be very very hard for the Mets to afford Mauer if they already signed Lackey,Holiday Like you suggested.If they don’t go on a spending spree it’s very possible That the Mets get Mauer.

Thole needs atleast another half year in the minors catching everyday.Santos is a decent back-up.Thats fine you dont like Molina id prefer Barajas on a 2 year deal.He could start 5 days a week till Thole proves he is ready to catch in the majors.Then they can platoon till Thole can take over for good.Mauer is a pipe dream,sorry to say.It would be nice put he wont be coming here,Minny will resign him.The Mets are better off trying to get Morneau after they sign Mauer.

Everything sound good excpet Molina. I think it’s better to keep Santos and Thole this year and sign Mauer next season.

Arg What the Hell.Why are the METS acting like Kansascity or Pittsburgh?? Spend the Money,and youll make more.If you dont spend youll make less.Come on,why shop at a dollar store when your making millions.Go to Macy’s and buy the good players who are worth it.This year you wont lose your #1 pick by signing a free-agent so lets spend.Go get Holliday and Lackey,and Molina.Plus Marquis and Sheets.Murphy is fine at 1st,kinda like Mark Grace with more power and not such a strong glove.Let Evans play,he can platoon with Murphy.
