For everyone getting worked up about a pen being fluid and not panicking- that’s bull. The best pen last year was San Diego, and their pen was very unfluid. Solid if you will. They had the same guys in there knowing their role the whole season. We may not have the best guys in our pen, but dammit we could at least use them right.

I’m not trying to bash our new manager or GM, but I’m not gonna praise them either. There have been poor decisions made in this young season both on the filed and in the front office. And anyone saying that giving Boyer a look before promoting Izzy was somehow a smart decision is a fool. Stop accepting bad baseball. Looks like the same old Mets to me.

Did you see Parnell win that duel against Espinosa–wow!

Both of these guys are getting paid 4M this year and next. Money that hopefully will be used to re sign Reyes or more likely was subtracted from the 2011 budget to help pay for Perez and Castillo.

That’s why we’ve only gone to the post season 3 times in the last 20 years and all three of those times coincided with one of our division rivals conducting a fire sale of their best players.

To continue to do the same thing and expect different results is the literal definition of stupid. Talent is what wins games. High end, in its prime talent. Well developed both in technique and baseball IQ and filled in around and below with more high end talent. The kind you don’t consistently find in the 7th-13th round.

Only an idiot wouldn’t understand that.

I won’t be “meandering the streets in an overcoat” chimp. I’ll be on the field playing ball while you continue to vent and rage against anyone who disagrees with you…..cause your a chimp.

No wonder your such a devotee of monkey ball.

Chalk it up to “It’s April” and let’s hope they can redeem themselves against the Jimenez-less and Helton-less Rocks.

Henderson encouraged reyes to steal every chance he gets and not be afraid of getting caught

..and it’s being proven you just use those millions names to manipulate your weak arguments anyway u can. Sure let’s just draft differently starting in 1961 or 62 (whatever) and everything would be different…go mutter in a long overcoat all your 1000,s of names but ur not fooling anyone.

Your act is tired around here

i don’t possibly see what a gm of a bankrupt team can do in one year. by year 3, you can start judging the gm, and that’s only if there’s a sense of financial stability.

there is nothing that alderson can do to make this team win this year. he’s here under a mandate to cut the budget in half and hopefully win, not the other way around.

Once Crappasco gave it up, I watched, hopeful, but knowing we had to score immediately if there were going to be any way to beat the Gnats. Alas.

Aside from Parnell and K-Rod, the BP is amateur. Bucholz looks like a Sean Green-type. I dunno, the sky hasn’t exactly fallen yet, but this BP sure is beginning to make it look as if it will soon. Maybe Byrdak is worth keeping.

What a shame to lose the opening series like that. Ugh!

Chipper (at age 39) is no Wright, Gonzalez is no Reyes, Mcclouth is no Beltran, and Kimbrell is no k-rod. Oh and I’ll take Davis over Freeman, and when Bay gets back I’d rather have him than Prado…

This is Omar’s team, your correct. It’s only what? a week into the season? there’s a lot of games left to be played, and our lineup will look much different when Bay gets back.

What happened to plate approach of making pitchers wk while waiting for a pitch in your zone?
I also get frustrated at times with Jose and when he runs but he has lead off last 7 games and gotten on base and how many runs has he scored? 2 maybe.

Bay might be able to do a little something but by the time he’s up and running Beltran will be out. Duda’s no Heyward, Thole’s no McCann, Gee is no Drabek, Emaus is no Prado, Parnell is no Kimbrell.

You can talk about stranding runners, blowing leads, strategy, commitment, instincts all you want to, it’s just BS. TALENT wins games. High end talent, that’s on the field for more than 3 years so you can add to it. Not a couple of expensive guys who play great for a three years, a couple of expensive guys who do nothing, a couple af expensive guys who can’t stay on the field and 18 guys taken in rounds 7-13.

All the strategy in the world will never overcome the talent disparity over a 162 game season.
