The message board is tough but there are quite a few guys who know their stuff. The bloggers do great a job, and show a passion whether it's positive or negative about the team.

He does everything right he told me, and that Kirk's the kind of player you want on your team.

He has forced the issue through every level of the minors. i think he'll contribute either this year or next. Too bad he got hurt last year, because he was coming on fast. He'll be 25 this year. i think this kid is 'hungry'. It's time. Captain Kirk is a legit prospect and one i love to root for, given his under-dog status through most of his development.

They just hype up the Yankees so much and leave the Mets for dead but when the Mets are on a roll they just try to bury them as much as they can and when the Mets make it to the playoffs they just act like they saw it coming but they say it wont last. These are the times I wish the Mets now had the personality of the 86 team. Completely no class, brash, rude, ignorant but more than anything, no holds barred. That Mets team was a complete nightmare for everyone. They were so cocky too. They always got in fights, went to bars during the times they weren't on the field and they were just bullies but were a great team. Some commenter hit it right on the head saying that the Mets had NY by the balls and now have nothing to show for it. But I'm very optimistic we will once again shut up all these dumb reporters and non-believers. Just watch, the Mets will once again claim their throne as the best team in NY and in the NL LETS GO METS!!! Completely true.

Especially in a major media market. The media are for the most part not fans unlike many of us who are so they are just looking to report a story but I do feel quite a few go out of their way to be more negative in their reporting than need be but if your from the Tri-State you know this is par for the course around here. If MMO has shown anything is that no 2 fans are alike. When it comes to who and how the Mets are reported in the media some are drawn to one end of the spectrum and some to the other while others find themselves in the middle. I doubt it will ever change. I find I gravitate more towards the Mets coverage done by Rubin, Coutinho, McCullough. I'm not a fan of Marchand, the NY Post and Lennon for the most part.

I'm guessing your analysis saw they were going to the world the series right? of course you did, you're and analyst right? What I'm trying to influence is for people to ignore these so called facts from people that state the Mets have no chance at anything except being last place. You might call it kool-aid but I call it believing. If Tug believed in the Mets then why not you? oh yeah you know all right? It's pretty obvious you saw the 2012 season right? All you're doing is spoiling the 2012 season results right? Let me guess, your "analysis" says the Phillies are in the World Series with either the Yankees/Angels/Tigers/Rangers right? Just like how you called the Cardinals and Rangers in the 2011 World Series and the Cardinals winning it in game 7 right? I don't mean to sound respectful but can you at least let people enjoy their opinions on the 2012 season. I know it didn't start yet but we enjoy believing the Mets can make it to playoffs or finish above .500 or do the unexpected. You just base every team based on acquisitions and statistics. I base my Mets on potential and statistics also. If you don't believe me just look at the Mets offense in 2011, now subtract Pujols and Fielder from the NL and Beltran from the Mets and add the season Ike was robbed of and now you tell me where the Mets stand in offense. Baseball wasn't born on statistics but more on just enjoying the game and having fun watching your favorite team. Just try being positive man. How can life be fun if all you think is failure and boring. Just try believing the Mets maybe can be good. The Mets can go 0-162 or 162-0, both are unlikely but it's baseball. I enjoy baseball one game at a time not a season at a time. Believe in the Mets and you never know, we could meet in Radio City Hall wearing our Mets jerseys and caps while chanting "LETS GO METS" while Collins holds that beautiful trophy above his head. Just believe man, thats all I'm asking for. I don't want to argue with my fellow Mets ally over controversial opinions. LETS GO METS!!! =) I never knew you were an analyst.

Many teams have failed to sign their players because of the same reason and the ones who do pony up the bonuses are the ones that put a winning product on the field year after year.Give Matt Williams the money and you'll see how fast that hatred of NY becomes I always wanted to be a Met bullshit story you get from athlets when they get paid.

Still I aak what is Wheeler going to do to make us winners this year? Next year? The Year after that even? You have guarantees of any of this or is it more FAITH than FACT again? You got rid of 17.5 Mil and a solid Closer... What did you get in return again? make up your mind here please and tell me if we are supposed to be rebuilding then why all the (as you put it) "AGING NON-ALLSTARS" instead of building this year with kids or player that will be part of the long term plan? The problem here is you are NOT interested in rebuilding! Your just saying that to justify what your REAL intention is! REVENGE on the folks who were here and choked in 2007 and 2008! All the talk about Sandy doing a good job and rebuilding is just a smoke screen to hide that agenda! You want REVENGE not the best team we can build now or in the future! Because if you did you wouldn't be so happy all the best players are gone and replaced with guys who are not even a single step towards a rebuil or a winning future! You got Wheeler and thats about it! And let me tell you he is NO Tom Seaver not even close! We didn’t LOSE Beltran he might have resigned with us if we had even tried, we didn’t!

So what I am assuming from your comment is that at the current state the Mets are in right now you have no expectations but only failure because you presume for that to be only the reality and you are trying to enforce that onto other people. So thats your faith. What you are doing and what I myself is doing is nothing different from itself. You try to influence others to just not believe in what can hypothetically happen. You believe that what you speak of is only truth but instead you can not begin to fathom that maybe what you say is only a theory and an opinion. Thats what I'm doing, expressing my opinion. I only try to spread positive assumptions of this team while all you think of is really only the negative outlook of what this team can become and really look at this team as you said, dismantled. In fact this team has not been dismantled. Fact: Jose Reyes has never finished a full season since 2008. His continued injuries would leave the Mets prone for ridicule and assumptions that this team without health is lackluster and the same goes for Carlos Beltran who missed half of 2009 and 2010 due to injuries and the potential of Fransisco Rodriguez from when we acquired him 2009 was no where near his years with the Angels. The person who spoiled the Mets with irrational contracts, Omar Minaya, has left the Mets with clean hands while the Mets with Sandy Alderson has to clean up the mess Omar discarded upon us. The Mets are a better team from years prior, your perception upon the Mets is as if we didn't improve because why? we didn't obtain any "stars" during the off season? we're not named Marlins? well its quite simple to answer that question. Omar Minaya made it so we wouldn't have money this season with the countless errors he committed. This man called himself a gambler and I guess all he can do is bust. What would it matter if we did get a person like Burhle, Papelbon or Reyes. You would still feel insecure with this "dismantled" team. All you do is perceive yourself to be pessimistic and object towards any perception of the Mets flourishing in any way possible. Everyone has an opinion but I guess yours is fact. Well of course you would right?. By the way i looked up journalism for your convenience. "Journalism: noun; The occupation of reporting, writing, editing, photographing, or broadcasting news or of conducting any news organization as a business." Funny thing, I didn't see truth.

Not all that big a deal when you can't play 500 ball with those 3 allstars so if you're not going to win why continue to lose all that money.You do what shoul've been done 3 years ago.Rebuild.Only they need to toally rebuild and not half ass it.Move Wright and get the last piece of the nightmare choke years out of here.

Bob Gibson discouraged the Mets from signing Clemens and the Twins dropped the ball on that one too. Pick whatever version of why the Mets didn't sign Clemens that best suits your agenda and everybody will be satisfied. Time to move on from this silliness Well fans,

Pick a side.

Bob Gibson discouraged the Mets from signing Clemens and the Twins dropped the ball on that one too.

Pick whatever version of why the Mets didn’t sign Clemens that best suits your agenda and everybody will be satisfied.

Time to move on from this silliness

Were you there? Were you in his mind on why he made this decision? And John Olerud? Here's his timeline and I see no Mets mentioned until 1996http://wsm.wsu.edu/s/we.php?id=299 So let's just knock it off with these fantasy scenarios from 25 years ago. While we're at it let's look at the other major league clubs and see who they could have signed 25 years ago. You have the time for that? I don't Let's knock if off already. We had chances We LOST ON THE FIELD. All the kids now are from Omar Minaya's regime and if he didn't suffer through some of the worst periods of injuries this organization every had he would still be here seeing his minors coming to fruition and MAINTAINING competitiveness despite a couple of bad contract signings.
