Do you think Valdespin while vacationing back in DR, getting ready to hit the town…was intentionally trying to tick off Met fans ?

like i said..it is a cultural thing….

and thats not just in DR, thats here too…kids started wearing hats as fashion statements back in the early 90′s over 20 years ago…

Jordany lives in DR…is 25….and all those kids grew up with that as a culture when kids from the DR moved back and forth to the US and brought back some habits kids have here

he ( and a whole generation of kids ) is so far removed from how old school baseball fans think in the states.

If met fans cant comprehend that, they are being willfully ignorant

alex. Its a trap by a bully to try to get you banned. He won’t be banned regardless of how inflammatory he is. you know. Keep away from the bully. He’s a shill and on the Liarson payroll. He is proof of whoat a lousy GM is. Hiring clowns like metro prove his failing as a Gm trying to overwhelm boards with garbage posts to try to convince a couple fans he’s not a failure. They all fail.

I think this time Alex that reaction is a little too overboard, he actually brings a reasonable response, and you instantly claim that hes saying the guy is a HOF’er. All he is saying is the guy has barely had a chance in the majors much like Valdespin, which IS on point, he never said the guy was the next greatest thing, cowgill could easily be a bust, as could Valdy. I’d personally like to see both of them and Andrew Brown get a reasonable chance for a job, who knows maybe the COMPETITION of needing to beat out others will put a fire under one and we could end up with a solid .280 15-20hr 60-70 rbi from any one of those for one season, or the start of a decent career. None of us actually know, until these players get a real opportunity.

That’s what he’s saying.

“But when met fans dont like u…they are like angry bitter ex-wives (husbands) that hang on to every single thing you said that could be misconstrued as an insult…”

Ain’t that the truth, hahahahaa

thats a cultural thing.

You have to understand you are dealing with people that are not from this country and DONT KNOW they are even offending their patrons.

Why would Valdespin PURPOSELY try to tick off met fans?

obviously it was a misunderstanding.

But when met fans dont like u…they are like angry bitter ex-wives that hang on to every single thing you said that could be misconstrued as an insult…

Yep I was hoping since he came out after his last at bat in the bottom of the 17th inning it was something not too serious. Glad to see that indeed was the case.

Very nice i guess… Still 69-93 this year and less than 2 million people in the ballpark.. that is my prediction…

69-93

With all that being said, i think a 69-93 record for this team is what we will see this year…

69-93…..

Alex68 February 17, 2012 at 10:46 am
69-93, No matter how we put it or try to cherry pick it, this team will be going nowhere fast, but hey, our GM is refreshing and funny on his tweets, so who cares if we’re losing as long as our GM keeps us entertain right? Pathetic…

Except when alex kept claiming this a 100 loss team.

Nice to be right for once. When I saw he had played 16 or 17 innings first thing I thought of was cramps.

Alex predicted 69 wins for the Mets last year – Only five wins off from the Mets actual total.

A lot of people predicted the Marlins to have a successful season – Alex wasn’t the only one.

Satish, Clayton, Jessep, Will, Ben, Jim, Brandon, Tie Dyed, and Matt, all picked the Marlins to make the postseason.

True, they didn’t pick them to win the WS, but the Marlins were considered to be a contender by many knowledgeable fans. So, I think it’s unfair to criticize Alex for this.

We all moaned baout Santana pitching in the WBC….

Considering all the supposed LACK of development people say is exhibited in our prospects…
And the amount of Prospects that have been ruined and devalued due to injury issues (F-Mart, Havens etc)

Maybe we should stop sending these kids to go play baseball ALL YEAR ROUND, and force them to REST UP for a full offseason where they can work on conditioning instead to last and not tire a through a whole MLB season.

We are playing these kids into the ground and the Human body is not meant to take that kind of punishment.

Thankfully this appears to be just cramps….
But Cramps are the first sign that a muscle is not well hydrated and very likely to tear or pull….

Glad to hear he’s ok and thanks for the update. I think he still holds a lot of promise even though many are down on him.

All I can say now is WHEW. Dodged a bullet there. Like I said, I want him to win a spot in the outfield going forward.

Good to hear about Jordany. Hopefully he goes on a mad tear now and becomes part of the core and solution and NOT traded.

Oh and here’s the chat box guys, hopefully you can log in:

That’s good to hear and a also good to see that he’s using twitter for something productive. Like I said, I hope he goes on a mad tear now and gets traded for something of value.

Good news with respect to Spin- Spin told Enrique Rojas on twitter that he’s not injured- had just leg cramps.

ESPN must not think too highly of Valdespin, they didn’t even mention that he got hurt…they showed Hanley getting helped off the field though

Hopefully, Spin will be OK and ready to roll in ST in another couple of weeks. I also like the fact that he got a bunch of reps in RF in both the round robin and Caribbean Series. The way things stand now for RF, I prefer Baxter on the bench and Sandy and Terry giving Spin another shot in a platoon in RF with Brown or Byrd or maybe Cowgill if Bourn is brought in.
