Are you saying that when I said I don’t blame any one player I blame the entire team?

This comment?

No I blame the entire team not one player but I don’t dwell on losing players that were part of 2 consecutive choke jobs to bad teams and then follow that up by constantly getting hurt and underperforming and if you need to be reminded no one was showing up to watch said allstars which caused an owner to lose over 150 million dollars. Who do you get rid of when you can’t keep your current payroll, the guy making 18 million or the guy making 500K? None of these allstars were drawing enough fans to watch those allstars which gave them no choice but to get rid of them.

Were you this broken up after the worst team money can buy Part 1 was broken up in the early 90′s. We had a bunch of allstars then too. How about the worst team money can buy part II? Miss all those allstars too. Or is it just the part III version you long to return

Sir Twistalot is wrong again.

Show the post where I said I blame Beltran and Reyes for what happened here between 2007-2010. Show it instead of twisting words to earn you the nickname of “Sir Twistalot”.

No you just blamed the All Stars (Beltran being one of them Reyes the Other) for 2007 – 2010 and wanted to get rid of them thats all…

Your the only one twisting here because you walked face first into your own roundhouse kick!

Okay Sir Twistalot. I never booed a player in my life, not even Jason Bay. That’s the type childish crap you do.

I went to a Yankee game against Boston late April 2007 and they booed the crap out of Mariano Rivera for blowing a save, his 2nd of the week. They booed him off the mound. If there was ever a player that should never be booed it would be Mo.

H is not a team unto himself thats the problem I think most people seem to have with him which maybe too much to ask of him.

As far as leadership goes he has never had to be the leader as there was always someone else. This is his first full year without Beltran who pretty much owned this team as the leader.

WHo is to say that after another year he won’t be more of a leader.
Still won’t carry a team but then again he shouldn’t have to no player should.

Correct but guys like Hernandez and Aflonso aren’t ahead of him anymore….

Seaver and Straw were also homegrown, drafted and developed by the Mets. So nothing’s changed.

Wright may rank at or near the top of Met greats, but Seaver is an all-time great, still holding the record for highest HOF vote pct. Maybe when his career is over Wright will have a chance to be held in such high regard by both Mets fans and baseball fans in general, but he’s only got half a career under his belt, so it’s a bit early to call him the greatest anything.

The only thing i want to say is hats off to R.A. for his wonderful year he had, and to david for breaking records to as a met. Now if the mets were smart, now is the time to sign both to at least 5 year deals with an option year, so that the mets now can build around them. Now is the time for the stupid wilpons to spend some money and bring in some new blood they need, stop saying we are spending money cus the fans are so mad at you for not caring and doing something that could have saved the season. Why don’t you people listen, what’s your problem. Like who cares get rid of bay, gid rid of torres, that’s a start. We need need speed and power to go with ike, david, and yes duda.. Thole needs to go back to the minors to think about his career. Cus we need a cather to go with kelly. We need to get the bullpen right too. get rid of the hitting coach, pitching coach, get rid of the manager and get rid of player delevopment postions and the owner and start brand new from top to bottom to get our mets back, we as fans are tired of be put on the back burner, now should be our time. We want our mets to be winners for a long time, not just one year, or two or three we want a winner for years. The manager we have is too soft, don’t always make the right decisions, even on the battling order. We need a mangaer with fire and so this team what winning is . We are intilted to be proud of our mets.

He’s a good player on a team with stars, when it’s his turn to lead a franchise as the main guy the team will most likely be a losing team…

Most, if not all teams will still be losing teams when the only good player is expected to lead the franchise. And of course that only good player becomes the “main guy”. Case in point….this years Pirates, not even McCutchen, with the year he has had, could turn the Pirates into a winning team.

Conversely, look at the player Granderson has become with the supporting cast on the Yankees. He went from being a good player to nearly superstar status with a supporting cast.

I agree with both statements make above.

Per Metsie

“Wright is about the only one who would look quite at home with those great teams with Seaver and the 86ers”.

Per Alex68

“He’s a good player on a team with stars, when it’s his turn to lead a franchise as the main guy the team will most likely be a losing team.”

Botom line Wright is a great complimentry type player. This is not a putdown. He is an allstar but not a superstar.

“Whenever I hear people say that NYers are the most knowledgable sports fans I nearly puke. All you need to know about your fanbase is that Beltran was booed unmercifully here”

Well I guess you make yourself Puke which is quite understandable you make everyone else puke around here too!

Face it you ARE the guys who booed Beltran, Didn’t Appreciate what he did, Blame the suck on the guys who made it Suck less and wanted them gone!

Start Puking because you think your knowledgable and boo these guys!

Even trashed them in this thread which we all appreciate because it saves everyone from having to click on a link to see just how all over the place your opinion is based on who your talking to and what the subject is!

No consistency at all!

Yep trading away players that proved they couldn’t get it done. Not the same as demonizing a guy who struck out against a nasty curveball. Or villianizing David Wright for not being Albert Pujols. I never bad mouthed any individual player. I wanted to trade them to rebuild and hopefully build a team that could get over the top. Big difference that you’re not bright enough to understand. I’d rather have a winning team with no stars than a losing tteam with a bunch of allstars.

I’ll say this.. He’s had a good productive year in the clutch.. I’ll give him that. but to say the guy was the only person most of us did not wanna see with the bat on his hand with the game on the line is a straight up lie.. One thing i’ll say, his best year where from 2005-2008 true, but during those 4 years, the guy was not the leader, captain, best player on the team, so he had nothing to worry about, he started pressing in 2008 when it started to be said this was his team etc. well, since then, the mets have not had one good season and his decline has been very noticeable… He’s a good player on a team with stars, when it’s his turn to lead a franchise as the main guy the team will most likely be a losing team…

LOL you are just too funny!

Yeah they were booed by fans like you who just had this to say about them yesterday!

“Maybe somebody should’ve told those allstars to start playing like allstars so maybe we can at least watch the team play 500 ball with all those allstars”

And This:

“Maybe if they would’ve played like Allstars over the past few years and won some damn games, fans would’ve shown up and then Omar would still be here and the team would’nt have sucked ass for 4 years and choked for 2 years before that. ”

You can read the rest of this comedy act here:

Yep all that from the same guy who said we should have traded them all away for missing the playoffs by a single game!

Yep fans like that booed guys like Beltran all over one missed curveball!

Is there where you say everyone but you is a Bull Artist?

The HR Derby was in 2006. He had a rough 2nd half after that but he had his best season the following year in 2007 and a damn good 2008 so the HR Derby has nothing to do with his decline in 09,10 and 11. It had more to do with Citifield and its ridiculous dimensions. His 2012 first half should tell you that Citifield had more to do with his decline than the 2006 HR Derby.

I believe he may be the best met position player of all time. Seaver is the best met ever. Calling him unclutch is just a joke. The guy produces every wear with very little help in the lineup. An interesting stat was mentioned today. He’s hit 21 homeruns this season. 10 to put his team ahead. That’s clutch to me.

Excellent post Jessep. Whenever I hear people say that NYers are the most knowledgable sports fans I nearly puke. All you need to know about your fanbase is that Beltran was booed unmercifully here and one of the worst offensive outfielders in the sport was revered Jeff Francouer. Who’s numbers are right back to where they were in 2010 as I predicted.

Wright is one of the best position players this franchise has ever produced. Maybe if Strawberry didn’t ruin his career and stayed or if Alfonzo didn’t have a career altering back injury one of those two would be considered the best all around players but right now Wright has had the best career of any Met that came through the system.

Seaver is still the greatest Met of alltime. he’s on a totally different level from everybody else.
