And let us not forget that Omar traded him from the Expos. Do we need any further evidence of their incompetence. It oozes from every pore of their being.

So this is the way I'm going to try and see what happens so It would be appreciated if you would sign my petition. Tell other people about if to.

But the most effective way is to return any season ticket plans and get your money back, with a little note that says we are very unhappy and will not buy a single piece of Met merchandise or a single ticket to a game until you clean house and bring in a reputable GM. Failing to do that, we will not attend any games until you are forced to sell the team. Have a nice life. Apparently season ticket plans are moving slowly. Tours are not drawing anyone. They must owe some mortgage payment on that field. Use the power that you have. And oh yes, keep complaining. I intend to. That’s one way.

I don't know why Omar sits on his *** all winter and doesn't do anything. He tells us to continue to be patient if I'm not mistaking we've been patient for the past 3 years waiting for him to fix this mess. He says we'll deliver again this year and sign another big free agent. Who's left he won't give up the money for Holliday and Lackey and Halladay are gone, so who's left Bay come on he's OK but he's 31 and he's seeking a 6 year deal and unfortunately Omar will probably give it to him. Like you said Shamik I'm tired as well as I'm sure all Mets fans are of living and dieing with second and/or third tier pitching. We need to get somebody else in office to be our GM. We should all start a petition. Some fans have said It's also the Wilpon's fault well I disagree it's all Omar's fault because the Wilpon's have given Omar all the resources and money he needs to go out there and sign any player to make this team better but signing Coste, Blanco, Cora and some pitcher from Japan. Ummm Omar wake up that doesn't make us better it makes us worse and your wasting money. Like I said before we should all start a petition to get Omar out of office and if Omar doesn't do anything on opening day we should all stand in front of the gates of Citi Field and start protesting and screaming. Might sound crazy to a lot of people but I'm an angry Mets fan and this is how I feel. Let me know what you guys think. OK makes sense.

They'll let him go next year as he's going to demand 25 mil + per year as a free agent. The only way the Mets are going to get him is if they cough up some serious cash. Thats probably not going to happen. No way the Mets spend 40-50 mil on two pitchers. The Mets will live or die with 2nd-3rd tier pitching or have to develop from within.

If this is true can someone confirm it. If this is true should we try and trade for him and give him a contract extension.

Oh, they will win more than 70 games and Omar will talk about "progress." You know that will happen. Liten, we live in a democracy and we have rights. We vote how we want and we buy what we want. We do not have to buy this team. The fans can put the Wilpons out of business by not going. Or they can keep going and just keep complaining. Why not exercise the power of the market place. I say keep complaining and stop going. You can bring these jokers to their knees. They are so leveraged with this stadium it would not take long. We don't own the team but we are its sole support, basically, so we should have some say. They will not improve.

He better concentrate on getting Bay and getting it right. It's not like there aren't any other teams on the hunt, just think Yanks and Angels.

All of these moves will cost us but if Minaya also is able to trade some pcs away (Castillo or Perez) for some middle relief pitching it will be a wash to the payroll. What do you guys think?

If he wants more we should just get Holliday. I think at this point the Mets will either get bay or Holliday. Even if it means over paying for one of them. I bet all the Minaya haters will say that this is fake too. The most I would give Bay is five years. If he wants more we should just get Holliday.

We I can only think that these deals need to be done:

Bay for 5 years 15M per = 75M
Marquis for 3 years 11to 12M per = 33 to 36M
Bedard for 1 year 8M w/option for 2nd year at 10M
