Posted Tuesday March 03, 2009, About: Mets hope to land big bat
Just like a lot of every-day-people, now-a-days...THEY(Mets' front office) CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY ALL THAT MONEY FOR THE PLAYERS "WE" FANS WANT. Lets face it; Bernie Madoff, made-off with enough money to "hurt the purse" of THE NY METS.
It really pisses me off that the guy is free to walk around his luxuary apartment; while, honest/regular folks can't even afford a ticket to the new Park.
On-top-of-that, We have to "HOPE" the team has some '69 & '86 "CHAMPIONSHIP-DUST" sprinkled on them...instead of having THE HORSES to blow away the competition and ease into the World Series.

The Patch: I saw some pro-mo on PIX11 on Sunday(3/1/09) I thought I saw a much nicer patch mock-up in a collague of photos. So, I can only hope they S--t-canned the first patch design.
Posted Sunday January 11, 2009, About: Mets, Braves competing for Lowe
I love Petey(Pedro){LIKE TO GET HIM ANOTHER RING} ; but, sign O. Perez (GET THE LEFTY FIRST!) 3 or 4 yrs/13.5 per yr. (doubles what he made last year...maybe, pencil in an option after the third or fourth yr). If he ROCKS!, then bump the $$$ to around 14>14.5 per yr. Try for Lowe @ 14+ for three maybe four yrs.(He's outta here by 40 yrs. old) See what happens!!Question>(Don't the Mets usually "touch-up" Lowe when they face him??).
PS. If not Lowe, get Garland@ a couple of mil. like Redding. Gives The "Amazin's" a young, balanced staff with lots of upside-potential. {Santana, Pelfrey, Maine, Perez, Garland, Redding,(Niese & Parnell)}
PPS. Hey Omar! If you don't spend too large on the rotation...put the surplus to a "Rt. Handed Bat"

I've been a Mets fan since the '69 World Series - "Miracle Mets" - Just Amazin'. YADA, YADA, YADA.
So, I've seen both the best & worst of the NL east since then.
The 2007 & 2008 NY Mets blew the leads they had in the eastern division late in both of those seasons. The 2007 & 2008 Phillies played well during the last months of those two seasons; passed the NY Mets in the standings and won the NL east title. I know that the Mets couldn't keep a lead... or stop a rally in Sept. '07 (in the meanwhile; the Phillies did) that equals, Mets lose a game in the standings to the Phillies (visa vie) the Phillies gain a game in the standings on the Mets.
After that happens 7 times in 17 games...The Phillies pass the NY Mets in the standings and win the NL east title. IF the same type of scenario happens again...then the results will repeat themselves. THEY DID!!!!!

NOW, THE METS HAVE TO TRY TO REMOVE THE PLAYERS THAT DIDN'T WORK WELL AND HOPE THE REPLACEMENTS GET BETTER RESULTS.
SO, ALL OF THE TALK, NAME CALLING, AND FANS' OPINIONS DON'T MATTER; WE'LL SEE WHICH PRO BASEBALL TEAM "WINS IT ALL IN OCTOBER" ALL THE TALK IS WORTHLESS NOW

The Majors are Hamilton's dream (as they were for a lot of guys growing up). What you don't get back is the chance to be "ROY HOBBS" He got a second chance after a "delayed start"
