		<description><![CDATA[No I don&#039;t agree he made the team worse. The team is still as mediocre as it was when it cost 50 million more. He was forced to cut payroll he didn&#039;t cut it so he could put the 50 million in his bank account. Omar made the playoffs in his first year? Really? Think again genius. Lets compare resumes. Omar 1 playoff appearance, no rings. Sandy 4 playoff appearances. 1 WS ring and 3 AL championship rings. Omar spent the most money in franchise history and had 1 playoff appearance, 2 choke jobs and 2 sub 500 seasons.  50 million less was spent this year for the same results, mediocrity. Imagine if Omar had to cut 50 million. We&#039;d break the 62 mets 120 loss record.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Pagan has had one good month in May the rest of his season he&#039;s done jack shit.&quot;
Be sure to get in touch with us and let us know when either Torres or Ramirez even have one good month!

&quot;WTF are any of these guys bringing back?&#039;
ANYTHING is better than the nothing we are going to get in the offseason!

And obviously you can get something for them just not some BA Top Lister like Sandy insited on getting!

&quot;Have you noticed K-Rod lately? &quot;
Have you noticed how well Francisco has pitched the last two weeks as well?

&quot;How can cutting 50 million make the team better?&quot;
Precisely!
So you agree that Sandy has made the team worse!

Thank you for finally admitting the truth!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Ah yeas it has to be a haul right jackass? And if it isn’t a haul or some guy on BA’s list then it;s better to get nothing right?&quot;

Hairston, Young, Rauch, Ramirez, Carrasco, Cedeno, and Byrdak. WTF are any of these guys bringing back? You just wanted a trade for the sake of a trade. Yes it&#039;s better to do nothing then to trade those guys for similar guys who don&#039;t do anything for the team you moron. Maybe we could&#039;ve traded Cedeno for Omar Quintanilla.

Hell Ramirez and Torres should at least be worth a Pagan no? If not then guess what…Sandy got taken on that deal!


Pagan has had one good month in May the rest of his season he&#039;s done jack shit. We&#039;ve gotten better run production from our CFers than Pagan has given SF. Plus Pagan is still worse defensively than both our CFers and that&#039;s saying something because Torres has taken a step back defensively. Sandy got taken my ass. I wouldn&#039;t take Pagan back for nothing. 

 Have you noticed K-Rod lately? Still want to have him back? He&#039;s wrose than all 3 of Sandy&#039;s nightmare. But you&#039;ll pay 17.5 for a 5.35 ERA, a 1.70 WHIP 5 losses and 6 blown saves, the last 3 in a row. You&#039;d make a fine GM.

SO tell us how has that 50 mil in cuts improved the game on the field? 

How the fk could it. That&#039;s the whole point you dumb fk. How can cutting 50 million make the team better? See what happens when you play checkbook baseball like your hero Omar did which is your favorite way to run a franchise. It sets you back years. Are you that stupid?  Do you have any idea how this game works at all?  You see when your company is losing 70 million a year you trim expenses. Simple concept. It&#039;s like talking to a 50 year old with a 5 year old mentallity with you.  Maybe you should try NASCAR or something. Baseball is far too complicated for you.]]></description>

I heard he told Fred to sit down and shut the **** up when Fred told him to spend some damn money already.  You know since the Wilpons are flushed with cash like you claim.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But he sure is keeping guys not under control past 2012 instead of trading them for ANYTHING that might be useful in 2013 is he?!

Hairston, Young, Rauch, Ramirez, Carrasco, Cedeno, and Byrdak

I&#039;m sure there are one or two more I&#039;m Missing here....

They are all not signed past 2012 and all should not be resigned or in Sandy&#039;s plans much past next week other than Hairston and Young.

But we all know why he is keeping them don&#039;t we?

So when they go we can use thier absence as an excuse for buying K-Mart Wholesale again because.....drumroll please.....

WE HAVE SO MANY HOLES TO FILL!

same crap we hard last year for buying cheap and in quantity yet here we will be again right back where we started because we didn&#039;t fill a single hole in Free Agency in two years!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the Mets should have tried to get Brandon League.  He&#039;s not pitching great this year, but even with the way he&#039;s pitching now would be a big improvement over Manny Acosta. And only just last year he was an all star, so maybe with a change of scenery, he could revert back to the all star pitcher he was last season.

And the two prospects the Dodgers gave up to get him, did not rank in the top 30 of their teams prospects before the start of the season - So they gave up very little to get him.

It would have been a nice &quot;low risk high reward move&quot;. It wouldn&#039;t have cost much in terms of money and prospects, and we would then have a guy who has the potential to be a very good closer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Honestly!  He could have gotten the next Babe Ruth for a bag of balls and the We Hate Sandy Army would still be out screaming about how there may be a shortage of balls someday.  The Pegan trade was a trade of potential for potential.  Everyone liked Ramirez when the trade was made and Torres was a throw in who was only one year removed from a solid year. There may have been a minor deal to be made at the deadline but that would be more like making a deal just to make a deal.  

I&#039;m all for packaging certain prospects and imroving the big club but those who are ready to ackage Spin with a bunch of other to get a nominal ugrade in the pen just don&#039;t have a clue!  I would prefer we cut ties with some of the non hackers currently in the pen and giving some of the younger guys a shot over just packing them for someone who may give you a month or two of decent service (and that is the way most relievers not named Mariano Rivera are).  Spin has a future in the bigs.  More so than many others who a few short months ago some posters were raving about (read Lucas Duda).

Getting rid of KRod last year was an out and out salary dump and that fact was NEVER denied!!!  Even if the Wilpons were not cash strapped paying him $17million would have been INSANE!  Many &quot;experts&quot; were amazed that Sandy was able to unload KRod when they did.  Let&#039;s not forget some of other issues.  

I don&#039;t consider myself a &quot;Sandy Appologist&quot; or what they&#039;re calling it but to call him the &quot;Worst GM&quot; is just flat out stupid.  Do we need to reminded of Al Harazin, M. Donald Grant, or Steve Phillips (who felt it wasn&#039;t important to sign nearly have of the players he drafeted and once said &quot;Potential will get you fired&quot; when speaking af prospects (I think it may have been Izzy he recently traded).  I do believe that this time around they are attempting to build an organization that is stable and will have some long term success.  Call me crazy but I will take that all day over our current system of success one year followed by around 20 years of futility.]]></description>
