Regarding SA, I understand the mission he was given when he came here and what that means for the actions he takes or more significantly doesn’t take. Nevertheless, that does not excuse his pompous and supeerciloious attitude. He is a self-centered exec with all the worst characteristics that brings to his position. At his level and years of experience he should bring much more polish and public relations skills to his position. Instead he has less skill at building rapport with the fan base than Omar had. I believe he is an affliction and a curse upon the fan base. There are many opinions regarding Jose’ and I can accept your view while disagreeing with it. I would have liked to have seen Jose’ finish his career with the Mets, but that is done. Nevertheless, I would have like to have seen SA treat Jose’ with more respect and appreciation of his skills rather than demeaning him as he did with his snotty and nasty comments. It’s apparent that SA did everything he could to discourage Jose’ from staying on here.

Regarding David Wright, I think you have it reversed. I believe that if David’s back is truly healed and he is reinvogorated, he will be dealt because of the size of his contract and his renewed market value. On the other hand, should David’s back become cranky again and his performance continue to slide, David will stay on with the Mets because his market value will be impaired.

Aside form those different views, I essentially agree with your views as fellow fans of the Mets. LGM or at least we can hope.

I think that the Wilpon’s understood those fans who had great sentiment about the Dodger days BUT they forgot that the bulk of Met fans are actually the offsping of those aging fans. Now, as I approach my 60th birthday having “bled’ for 50 years I ask why is there no statue of “The Franchise” out in front of the main gates? Why are there no signs like “Agee Alley” or “Keith’s Korner” ? Finally, as the Mets organization gets ready for what is going to be a very rough season, wouldn’t you think that a good way to fill some of those soon to be empty seats would be to bring back more of those event days. I know that Banner Day is being resurrected, how about days where the fans walk away with more than a bobblehead doll?

AND WHAT ABOUT RETIRING NUMBER 17 FOR KEITH……AND OF COURSE NUMBER 8 FOR GARY AND YOGI ?

You can’t blame Sandy Alderson. He was brought in to save a sinking ship. He is doing what he was hired to do whether we like it or not. After assessing the reality of our talent or lack of talent Sandy knows that the Mets were not going to be in the hunt so why further bury the team in debt by risking big bucks on Jose Reyes who is A MAJOR RISK? Sandy ends up getting blamed instead of being an astute baseball man who is unfortunately not able to spend big bucks on free agents. Instead he will continue to slash the payroll as he did with trading Carlos Beltran and rebuild this team with acquisitions that make sense.

Sandy will not “dump” David Wright unless David’s back trouble last year ends up being a problem. The team has brought in the fences at Citi Field and if David rebounds strongly his value increases tremendously. Bottom line…..David reverts back to form of years ago and stays in NY or he becomes trade bait for some serious young talent.

“of the non-roster invites to camp, he’s most looking forward to seeing RHP Matt Harvey.”
So am i.. to bad wheeler and familia weren’t invited.. ST will be the best period with this team ,why no let us see what the kids got

“Our job is to put a product on the field that fans can be proud of. Often times negativity is our motivation.”
true, thing is, what negativity? the owners are broke and the GM suck, is called reality terry.. put down the pipe

“David Wright is a true professional — he understands that rumors are part of the business.”
Translation… good bye david wright..

But, when you look at how he actually performed, without all the stupid rhetoric, he was a legit star.
