NICE-
you gotta respect coaches when they call out their players !!!

Get Ollie a Slap Chop so he can make some healthy meals.

Stop having a boring tuna. Stop having a boring life.

Dan Warthen is a ****! If it was a repeat problem they had addressed with him several times then I might see a coach shooting a line to the media...but it shows lack of respect to do that after one bad outing...i hope the Met's Brass returns the favor to Warthen. (not that being out of shape when your profession is athletics is ok though)

Loving it. All those Mets fans who assumed they got the World Series trophy after the K-Rod and Putz deals completely ignored the fact that they had a shaky rotation after Santana. The resigning of Perez to solidify the rotation was a joke. He's merely inconsistent when he's in shape... wonder how he'll be now.

Meanwhile the Braves starting rotation has a spring ERA of 2.35 and we've got Jojo Reyes and Tommy Hanson available to call up from AAA (spring ERAs of 2.08 & 2.45)

It's gonna be a good season.

Repeat problem? How about the fact that the ball club is paying him 36 million? I would not only weigh him, but announce his true weight in the next days paper!

Are you serious? You're touting the Braves' starting rotation?

Your team doesn't even have a solid number one. You overpaid for 35 year old, Derek Blowe. Javier Vazquez had a losing record and an ERA pusing 5 last year!! Jurrgens looked good last year and may turn out to be even better. But he hardly has any sort of track record that you can count on. Who knows about Kawakami? Probably average at best. And don't even mention old man Glavine!! He is complete garbage through and true and will get rocked yet again this year.

Great rotation the Braves have. Great rotation. They will be lucky to finish 3rd in the division, most likely 4th.

Not that I am going to debate the fact the braves have no Cole or Johan in their rotation they have by FAR a more consistant and solid rotation then any club in their division. While they still might lack the bats to win those many one run loss games, they have the rotation neither the Phillies not the Mets have to keep it that close 1-5... I dont even like the National league let alone the Braves and I know that... Where are you getting your stash man cause they gotta be lacing it with antifreeze...

I don't know how you can say 1-5 the Braves have a solid rotation. Any rotation with Vazquez, Glavine, and an unknown Japanese dude with no US track record cannot be considered solid.

Moonshine brother.

He should hit the treadmill. He just got a new deal with the mets. He was so hot and cold that he should be happy he got the deal that he did. You get paid millions of dollars to do a job. But then again, AIG execs got paid millioins of dollars to not do theirs...

Vasquez and Glavine could start in AAA and still get hammered! Lowe is lucky he stayed in the National league, because the American league would eat him, he knows it!

Spring ERA for Mets starters 2 through 4 taken from MLB.com

Pelfrey 5.09
Maine 10.38
Perez 6.23

Any who's in line for a minor call up? I think I've heard Niese throw around, spring ERA of 6.75.

The word you're looking for: overrated.

Still I think meat-eatin' son of a gun Dan Warthen just wanted to say he hates the WBC.

`
"He's out of shape," Warthen said....

This is "ripping" the player ???????

no one said he was a great pitcher....maybe the flab will balance him out

Keep an eye on the Tigers! One highlight, Cabrera has now seen and played in the parks and faced the pitches in the AL. He is going to have a monster year.

enough already with the WBC bashing.... if you don't wan't to support the US team, just say so as an organization, screw up your tiny little testes and say it out loud, "no more of our players will be allowed to go to the WBC". Either take a stand or ****!!!

And doesn't it say something about the Mets that before the season even starts, their COACHES, not even the players, are ALREADY making excuses for their expected failure.
Confident, competent well-led teams don't make excuses, ever, and these guys are already getting their excuses on the record.
WEAK, just flat out weak.

Well, yeah, but most people around here would pick him over Ben Sheets, for example.
