hey man, like i said, if joe hates money and traffic, good for him. but i am pretty sure he likes traffic, thats why he encourages dialogue about OBP and moneyball, because it gets tons of views and comments.

But if you don’t care, just don’t read her! Why is it your concern whether somebody generates traffic? Does having something appear on the site that doesn’t appeal to you personally somehow offend your sensibilities? Read other threads, ignore Annie, and give Joe credit for being aware of what’s on his own site.

I didn’t mind reading a NY baseball Story. In fact I was glad that for once it wasn’t another negative buffoon story about the Mets.

Good to see.

the reason i am whining is that i hope joe will realize most of us dont care and get rid of her. he already knows her articles dont generate traffic. he knows that the articles that generate traffic are about baseball, specifically mets baseball. thats why we are here. we can go to a thousand other sites to read about the yankees. i dont care about the yankees. and baseball is an escape i dont want to read about 9/11 here, or connecticut politics or whatever else she has. if joe wants his site to suck, thats his business, seems like the polite thing to do is let him know.

Oh what a Big Baby! Posada forgets he gets paid $13M to PLAY baseball. Give me a break and get to work. Shape up and do some work to get your BA over the Mendoza line. Can’t do it and don’t like to bat at the bottom of the lineup, then retire softee.
As far as Cashman goes, he’s the boss and is entitled to call out guys who lose perspective and forget where their paycheck comes from. I guess Posada somehow got the message and realized he liked the paychecks when he asked forgiveness. The hypocrite likes his paycheck, aw poor baby never will grow up!

Interesting idea, but with Pagan on the DL, is this really the “perfect time”?

Getting old…happens to the best of us. Get used to it, Jorge. There is no stopping father time.

Where else can you get paid for 15 odd years multi millions of dollars to play a kids game and retire early enough to start another career or just do whatever the hell you want?

That being said, I have to agree with a previous poster about Cashman and his comments this year. That and – not that I’m in the habit of defending the Yankees but – this probably would have been played out better had they moved him down in the order before or after this Red Sox series this weekend. Could Girardi have picked a worse time to do that?

First order of business is to help the Mets. If it comes at the “expense” of helping the Yankee or Phillies or Braves or anyone, then so be it. Remember, teams don’t make trades if it doesn’t make sense for them. Whether it works out or not, both sides of the deal feel they improved in some way.

as much I I don’t want to see us Help the Yankees in anyway shape or form,, wouldn’t this be the perfect time for the Mets to approach the yankees to trade them Beltran they are in MAJOR NEED of a DH…. and are one of the only team’s that could take on almost all the salary and still give us a decent level prospect in return

There’s so much to agree with. Annie’s good expansive article which is especially relevant to Big Apple area fans, who after all are part of the bigger domain of baseball. Then there is the quantitative view of Martin who sometimes runs on a bit without wheels. While I’m addressing the issues most important to digitizing and encoding our great game of baseball, I enjoy Martin’s views relevant to analyzing the game on the field, but the game of baseball also includes the business of the game and the personalities of the game.

Keep up the good work Annie, as I’m sure I speak for many who enjoy your posts.

This is hilarious to see Posada cry like a whimp. Heart of a champion my butt. He should be embarassed and so should his wife. And I dont blame Cashman for calling him out as soon as he caught wind of Posada asking out of the game when he saw the lineup card.

I’m playing the worlds smallest violin for the YankMees. No sympathy what-so-ever. When you elevate a guy to a “legendary status” while he’s playing, you eventually end up with a statue on your roster.

If you don’t like it so much, why do you keep responding and whining on Annie’s articles? Your bickering is getting very tiring, martin. Even when it’s something good that indeed doesn’t have anything to do with baseball but what’s a bigger issue than baseball like that Ground Zero article which you wrote an unnecessary, tasteless post like that other idiot Will. Let’s see YOU write something.

Say what you want guys, but as my banner has always said, this is a “Baseball Site” for Mets fans.

Annie was specifically invited to write for this site by me to cover any baseball news unrelated to the Mets. That is what she does for my site. And she does it well.

As always, thank you Annie and keep on keepin’ on.

Right, one less blog about the Mets where you can spread your hatred and tell everyone how bad the team is.

again, annie will write about anything, as long as it isnt mets baseball.
