Was The Bernazard Story Overblown?

Brian Moritz of Press-Connects wrote a new article that sheds some more light on the alleged incident involving Tony Bernazard and what transpired in the clubhouse of the B-Mets. The Double-A squad spent the day trying to downplay a story in the New York Daily News that said Tony Bernazard, the Mets’ vice president for player development, ripped his shirt off and challenged the players to a fight during a post-game tirade in the team’s NYSEG [...]

I Don’t Trust Omar Minaya Anymore

I’ve supported Omar Minaya ever since he first took the reins of the New York Mets after the 2004 season. He took an organization that was in complete disarray and put the Mets back on the map. He said that the Mets would be rebuilt and taken seriously, and he gave us his five year plan that would make the Mets significant again, competitive, a contender and so much more. Wow, what a vision… I [...]

Why Selling the Farm for Halladay Makes Sense

With Jon Heyman standing by his report that the Mets turned down an offer from the Blue Jays for Roy Halladay, it got me thinking about what the Mets and their farm system would look like in the aftermath of a Halladay trade. Surprisingly to myself, I came to the conclusion that what’s left of the Farm System does not matter if the Mets acquire Halladay. That’s right, I said the farm system does not [...]

Another Stunning Embarrassment In A Season Full Of Them

Most of us became aware of Mets VP of Player Development, Tony Bernazard, last year when we learned about his shady and underhanded maneuvers leading up to the firing of Willie Randolph. In fact, Randolph claimed that he was sabotaged by Bernazard. Since then, Tony B. manages to get his name in the news every now and then mostly because of some ridiculous quote or action. This past week though, he’s really gone over the edge and [...]

Even Batman Can’t Find The Mets Missing Offense

For many years, I have been patrolling the streets of Gotham City. Wrongdoers tremble at the sound of my name. Criminals cannot hide from me because I lurk behind every shadow. If you commit a crime in my city, I will find the smallest piece of evidence to incriminate you. You may know me as the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight or simply the Batman. I am universally known as the world’s greatest detective. On [...]

To Buy Or Not To Buy: That Is The Question

Welcome, class.  Today we will discuss whether the Mets should become buyers or sellers at next week’s trade deadline.  We will consider every option before making our final decision.  We will look at the standings in the National League East and the Wild Card race and we will look at which players might be made available for trading purposes.  We will also look at which players the Mets might be willing to part with should [...]

Lest We Forget, He’s 24! (And Other Mets Thoughts)

Sometimes I just sit back and wonder to myself, “If a player didn’t come up playing for a New York team, would he blossom?” and I often find myself saying yes. (See Heath Bell, Matt Lindstrom, Scott Kazmir) Now, I’m someone who constantly bashes the New York media(Including the fans sometimes!) for making something out of nothing and putting too much pressure on the teams to win now, on the players to start hitting now [...]

My Roadmap To Victory Has Halladay In It!

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com and MLB Network, Omar Minaya told the Blue Jays no when they called and offered the Mets Roy Halladay in exchange for prospects Fernando Martinez, Ruben Tejada, Jon Niese and Bobby Parnell. Wow… The Bart Hubbuch of the NY Post spoke to Omar Minaya: Minaya also did not deny an SI.com report today that the Mets turned down a proposal from the Blue Jays for Cy Young winner Roy Halladay. [...]

More Of The Same Next Year!

Yesterday on his twitter Sports Illustrated’s Jon Heyman posted the following: “minaya, manuel have been told by mets boss jeff wilpon they wont be fired over this painful season.” This organization continues to amaze me. The past 2 seasons have ended with the Mets missing the post season by 1 game, losing that important 1 game the last day of the season.  The Wilpons decide before the Madoff scandal broke that they want a lower [...]
