Somebody has to defend Omar Minaya right? Prior to yesterday, I felt he should keep his job as I’ve stated and discussed with Joe D back and forth. Today, I still remain in favor of Minaya keeping his job and helping this team get into the playoffs, this year! To me, Omar Minaya now more than ever has to remain the General Manager of the New York Mets. Despite what beat writers think, despite...

In his press conference yesterday afternoon Omar claimed that the...

When the Mets traded Ryan Church to the Atlanta Braves for Jeff Francoeur, there was an outcry among Mets fans such as I’ve never heard before over a trade that I thought was a great one for the Mets.

Anyone who saw Minaya’s initial press conference when...
