  Hoping we could get Dickey to 19 wins tomorrow. Him winning the Cy Young is the only thing left to root for this season. Was really hoping the Mets would beat Gio like they did the first time they faced him. No such luck tonight. Lets Go Mets!

  Another dishearting loss. This club has talent some changes need to be implemented. Let’s hope it happens soon. Again I check a few Mets website but I will not give them a penny of my money until this club is done right. Now thru are with a few exceptions a laughing stock

  Well, what can i or anyone for that matter said about this team that hasn’t been said for the past 3 months? the FO gave up on them and didn’t believe, since they acquire nobody and the team went into a spiral losing streak of course, the sabergooner and slurpers went into defensive mode for their lors saying the team needed more than that, but then again, the bullpen alone was responsible for 5 games out of the first 10 after the all star break, who knows how good the addition of one good player to even the bullpen would’ve been? well, the question would never be answered because sandy alderson didn’t even try to. it was clearly from the get go his plan was slashing payroll because he is not capable of making one good trade, now, we’re force to watch this disgrace of a team take the field every night looking helpless and looking disinterested because, for the second year in a row, the FO took the life out of the team. in 2 Years THREE GM’s have not come up with one single good player, if that’s not amazing and unbelievable i don’t know what is. ANd please, do not give me wheeler blah blah blah, he’s a minor leaguer who will be ready maybe next year and we don’t know how good he’d be, and was traded for an all star OF with MVP type credentials, we’re talking one good player to help the major league roster. i am sure the slurpers will make excuses for SA no matter what, but damn, THREE F’ING GM’S and not even one good player to show for in 2 years!!!?!? Come on……
  Ohh, and get used to SHoppach, he’ll be here next season… The more flaws he shows out there, the cheaper he’ll be, and that’s news to sandy’s ears.. SMH.

    The phono needle is stuck in the same groove and gets played over and over.

  What else but a FAN STRIKE will wake up the FO to let them know this isn’t working. I spent quite a bit this year on hats, souvenir ticket of Johaan’s no hitter, etc. No more. Also a lot of fans don’t realize that the Mets get a percentage of the gate on the road, therefore if the Mets are so bad they can’t draw on the road there is more loss of revenue. No at this point in Mets’ history a fan strike is all that is left. I feel sorry for the players playing to an empty crowd but if you ain’t producin’ we ain’t buyin’.

    I understand your frustration but the fact is that the Wilpons are now stable and aren’t going anywhere. So anything like that would actually be counter productive to the overall goal. Striking would actually decrease their ability to add talent.

    It’s kind of like the idea that if a school is low performing you should take away funding… well that’ll show them.

      Couldn’t disagree with you more. I am old enough to remember when Coke changed their formula to the New Coke and people all over the country went absolutely BONKERS. There were protest, marches, news, etc. It took coke about six weeks and they were beaten into submission and that is why we have Coca Cola CLASSIC. Yeah, about six weeks of empty stands and no merchandise sales and maybe it won’t take that long and they will wake up after they figure out “hey maybe we had better fix this team.” I don’t care who you are if you are a businessman or woman you will not hange on and bleed money day after day. It is called capitalism. A dirty word I know under Obama but it is the way we motor on. I know the vendors, custodians, ticket sellers get hurt but that is part of having a job, living through the bad times and enjoying the good times.

        You are still missing the point though. If in turn you are wanting them to spend money by taking money away? You are just giving them more of a reason not to spend money.
        • Met Fan Lou September 11, 2012 at 11:07 am

          OR a White Knight could arrive (ala David Einhorn for one or a partnership group ala LA Dodgers) to make an offer to the Wilpons and their partners. An offer they can’t refuse as Don Corleone would say.
          • TRS86 September 11, 2012 at 12:46 pm

            It could but how long would it take the Wilpons to be interested and what guarantees does new owners contain?

            At this point we have to hope they have learned from their lessons and once able will spend like they always have yet hopefully spend it wisely.

  “That was one of the reasons we brought him here”, said Sandy Alderson.

  Are we seriously complaining about them bringing Shoppach over here end of this season so they can get a look and evaluate if he should be offered a contract for next season here?
  It was a good plan. Better than just looking at the stats some of you so disdain off season to make a determination…..right?
  • TRS86 September 11, 2012 at 10:22 am

    We want change from Thole, no we don’t want change from Thole…. Has anyone seen the FA catcher’s market? Shoppach is a perfect stopgap for now.

    I have given up on trying to figure out anymore just what message the Coeur here is attempting to get across. The lines just keep on changing.
  • TRS86 September 11, 2012 at 10:47 am

    If objectivity is what you preach then you should in turn practice it.
  • Alex68 September 11, 2012 at 10:50 am

    Of course, according to you 2, shppach was a great addition… and we should resign him and write an article about sandy having a nice day.. No wonder
    • srt September 11, 2012 at 10:54 am

      So says the Coeur.

      Wrong again but thanks for playing.
