Sandy fans–you’d defend him if he resigned Pelfrey to a Sabathia deal.
Sandy haters–he could trade Quintanilla for Verlander and you’d find a reason to complain.

Let’s sit back and enjoy what’s been a good season so far.

Let’s go Mets, regardless of who runs the team.

Sliding into first (Tejada) is a pretty dumb move and getting caught off the base (Turner) was pretty dumb too.
Not sure how Cedeno got hurt…

Their average is down about 4,000 right now.

If you’re an Angels exec you’re blaming the early attendance woes on: KC, Oak, Balt, Min

At 22 games last year their least attractive opponents were: Cle, Oak, ChiSox, Atl

You would have thought pre-sale would carry them through the 30k mark alone after the winter they had. Probably doesn’t help that the Dodgers are doing well.

No, Beltran was traded because he was leaving and they wanted to get something for him.

Reyes was passed over because there was only one team willing to give him that crazy deal and they told him “take it or leave it”.

Gee wasn’t losing his job in the Winter after pitching 13-6 with a mid 4 ERA making league minimum at age 25

To a guy who went 11-12 with a mid 4 ERA who would need $5mil for the next 2 years at age 33.

I’m sorry but that wasn’t happening.

If in January 2012, the Mets signed Capuano to an identical deal as the Dodgers, it would have come with a guarantee of a rotation spot.

Which means Gee loses his job in the winter, even though he pitched nearly identical to Capuano yet would make $4mil less.

That’s not clueless.

You sign guys like Batista, Young etc “in case of injury” You don’t commit $10mil “in case of injury”

Nobody does that.

Tell me your Capuano, the Mets say “hey we’ll offer you 2 years $5mil each year and use you just in case of an injury.” and the Dodgers say “we’ll offer you 2 years $5mil each year and you can be our #3 starter before we get to spring training.”

Tell me why you’d take the Mets offer?

And stop acting like you saw so much of Cap in 2011 to decide he was gonna go 7-1 with a low 2 ERA.

Anyway, As Stick mentioned, Cap’s numbers weren’t great. Him signing with the Mets would have been a luxury, especially at the salary he was looking to get. This team would be better with him on it, but with all the other holes and lack of funds to plug them all properly, he was the one to go. All in all, wish he was here, I understand why he isn’t and I stopped crying over spilled milk the last time I spilled my milk.

We can say DFA Pelf was the answer but that wasn’t gonna happen, and frankly NOBODY knew Pelf would get injured and Pelf LOOKED good when he pitched.

If the Mets signed Cap to 2 years, DFA’d Pelf, and watched Pelf go 7-1 for the Dodgers and Cap out for the year… we’d be here yelling about DFA’ing Pelf and what a disaster that was
