As far as breathing issues, that’s what happens when the front office stinks…

Im sure theyll get things right with his heart but i also mentioned the breathing issues he’s had and Durability this season was his healthiest. Not saying he wont have a healthy career just see little writings on the wall. And if there is some team that is willing to give up what the Nats gave up for Gio Gonzalez last year I’d do it.

Wright’s contract was not completed yesterday, which if you believe Joe, might be the first time he ever predicted something wrong.

Because Johan and Jason’s contracts are up right when the extensions go into effect, the Mets have plenty of cash to give Wright and Dickey. That’s easy to see or predict.

I want to know what else they can do this year to help the team get better….much better. They came in fourth last year with these guys, they’ll do the same without more offense. Is the money there to do it? I don’t think so.

So, will they get creative and make some trades? I don’t think so.

Then hire surrogate mothers to carry these babies and then sign them right out of the womb. Bet you’d have a good success ration – and it’s cheap!

My point is yesterday was the day of Wright negotiations. I think I saw 3 different “offers” reported. And each one seemed to escalate toward negativity toward Wright. They could be accurate, I don’t know – but coming up with an opinion about somebody based on something that hasn’t even happened yet is a slippery slope.

We’ll all have a chance to judge Wright based on the actual outcome. Judging him based on “sources” is a waste of time.

Fortunately, it is more a corrective procedure than a surgery and is for correcting an irregular heart beat – Tommie Agee played with that all his career.

I have never once ever started a converdsation where I said we should get [insert name here] by trading name,name,name,name, first born, name name name name the way the rest of you guys have.

I have suggested types of players to go looking for and will try and find a name I think fits because you all INSIST there MUST be a name mentioned…

Those HYPOTHETICALS are no more true than the rumors that are being trashed here are they?

At least the rumour is based on SOME fact or source….

But it’s only a problem when someone else plays the hypothetical and not when you yourself do it?
They go to twitter because like everything else SOMETIMES the truth gets out….

I’m sure the Mets DID make an offer to Wright…
What it was or when it was made isn’t important to me…
If it is enough to sign him or simply insult him maybe I will care…

And we will find out soon enough which it was because he will either sign something or not.

Didnt he have the Nose with bad breathing now this??? Kinda scary….I like Niese but I would look to move him if the value is there

“T-H-I-S I-S BLOGGING!!!!!”

LOL!

Telling me or anyone else we should wait til something is written in stone is equivalent to the Jerks at Mets games whom are on there Cell Phones the whole game and get mad when the people around his section start cheering “LETS GO METS” to start a rally

This is what we do…when we here REPORTS whether they be true or false we chime in this is what we do. This is what we’ve done before blogs when we used to get our news soley from newspapers whenever we saw any speculative trades or free agent signing we gave our opinions to one another tre or false. Its Hotstove baseball thats the whole fun about the off-season fans speculating and giving their opinions of who we should trade for or who we should sign.

Boo Hoo if David Wright was offended he should take it up with the people he’s negotiating with. Afterall however foul it might seem that the Wilpons handle their business this way it it the NORM! Leaks on purpose to sway public opinion to swing things in their sides favor. Wrights people im sure are leaking things as well with or without his consent. If the Mets had lowballed Wright and wouldnt budge do you think he wouldnt come out and say hey the reason i didnt sign was the offer wasnt fair?

So if you dont want to participate in the speculative nature of the off-season or hotstove you dont have to participate in it.

Why cant I say If this report is true and Wright doesnt accept this deal he is greedy? Why cant I say wow thats a ridiculous contract the Mets offered Wright and they are fools for it and we’re gonna be screwed if this is the case???

I do it because it starts a conversation where someone with an opposing view can comment and tell me that I am nuts for not wanting to re-sign Wright at any cost…..

Its Fodder for us cattle(baseball fans)

Such as the nature all over now because fans have so much access to things now. Before you had a couple of beat writers and many were loyal to the team due to their desire for access. Now you have as you said a desire for volume and speed. Many of the moves that are made today were made in relative obscurity even a decade ago. The trade for the kid from Oakland, it might have been weeks before we knew about that and maybe not until spring training. But now we are news starved and with not much news the reporters have to provide a product. Of course with blogs like MB, MMO, AA and even the desert there is now a group of readers that not only are dedicated fans who are opinionated but they now get to voice those opinions on every move that is made giving them a voice that did not used to be available.

Yes the landscape has changed dramatically.

Is that a duraflame fireplace you have in that picture? Similar to the one we have too!
