They are starting to remind me of the recent Yankees when they were on their championship streak. They have reasonable starting pitching, an above average bullpen (minus a Rivera-like closer), a defense that won't kill you, but most importantly, a lineup that can kill you in many ways. They can manufacture runs, steal runs, or smack a grand slam when neccessary. I'm really beginning to like our chances (at least of getting to the Series).

The offence has shut down the last week or so. With the awful outings by Pedro and El Duke its a little disconcerting. I'm sure the hitting will be fine, but the age of their pitching really worries me come the postseason. Can Pedro, Glavine, Trachel and Hernandez really get us to the promised land?... Not to mention Wagner!

Its gonna get over shadowed by the yanks sox series. That 86 team should have been honored when they could get one last back page.

I dont know how serious this is, but the FAN is reporting that Glavine has a blood clot or anuerysm in his shoulder, and may need surgery. Even if thats minor procedure these days he'd be out a few weeks, and if its not he's likely done for the season, since its the shoulder.

If you watched Glavine's press conference, he said he's had problems with numbness in that hand for the past 10 years or so. He also said that's why he didn't like pitching in cold weather. If this was the cause of his post season woes (He's been spotty in the post season) then maybe he'll be better this year in October. Besides (of course) the obvious sigh of relief you breathe for the guys personal health being OK. Point being, this may end up working out better for the Mets chances that this was diagnosed and treated.  And he has to feel rejuvenated by the good news. I would.

Oh and let's be honest here, in terms of at the plate Green is almost exactly like Nady only Nady did most of his damage at a tougher park to hit in.  Sure Green is a much better fielder and has a cannon even in his mid 30's, but now they're paying a lot more for basically the same player who happens to be 6 years older then him and makes a ton more money.  Great moves, drastic cover-ups or just plain mistake on top of another mistake??  Any thoughts Met fans?  You got a very old reliever and a crazy erratic unproven pitcher for Nady.  Then got him back older and at a mudh higher price?

I'll respond to you here since I think its neutral turf and maybe we can have an actual discussion here, as opposed to what goes on elsewhere. Do I think the money helps? Of course it does. I also think that taking an overpriced player off a smaller revenue team helps that other team as well. Frees up payroll to be put into more productive uses for a team that has no hope of contending (usually) so that they can contend later. Both teams benefit from payroll dumps. As far as what that does to competitive balance, I really dont care. I saw the Yanks get beat in 2003 by one of the lowest rev teams in baseball. So I dont believe that low revenue=cant compete. PLus there's a formula that other low rev teams like the A's and Twins have used to be and stay competitive. So it can be done. You also fail to see something about these salary dumps. For every one time a team like the Yanks (or Mets) get an Abreau who's in the prime of their career and performs well, there's two other Kevin Browns, Randy Johnsons, Cecil Fielders or Sean Greens who are just overpaid and over the hill. And I've seen plenty of that as well. So it doesn't always work out. Actually it fails as often as not. Now you'll have to excuse me, I need to go flirt with some underage women.  <blockquote />

Dont forget what happened Cougar. Minaya was blindsided by the Sanchez injury and had to make a deal fast before anyone found out he was hurt. He did pretty well under those circumstances.

spoon

08-22-2006, 04:09 PM

I'm sure you do.  And it doesn't matter if they don't work out as the big money teams hide those mistakes by doing it again and again bc they can.  Hence the spiral of shit continues to grow.  Also, they're not a success to those teams by their standards.  Do you know how many people would love Lidle or Wright as their 4th or better yet 5th starter?  A lot of teams.  Not to mention that these inflated salaries are a direct result of the few, which in the end again help those same teams fill voids taking advantage of teams that do spend their last dimes on players trying to contend.  They then realize they need much more then one or two more players around 9 million to contend.  Do you really think nine more close to 10 million dollar players don't help the yankees win over even the second highest payroll in the league?  And get over the fact that a team every blue moon can overcome and get lucky in a small series against a monster like the yanks.  At the time they weren't at the bottom of the payroll like now and in fact were of decent magnitude vs the rest of the national league.  The yanks paid a lot more no doubt, but in a short series anyone has a chance.  Yet the Marlins got to the WS with a lot of prospects coming of age (rare enough) at the same time as well (even more rear).  Hell, the yanks even lost a few series to the Royals over the last few years right?  It's the fact that over 162 games, the majority of the season (including playoffs) that the advantage surely shows it's face.  The LEAGUE IS A FUCKING MESS!!!  IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY LAME REASONS YOU POST WHY IT ISN'T, IT IS IN SHAMBLES IN TERMS OF COMPETITIVE FEATURES!  If it were up to you the league would have to contract more than half the teams to make it more competitive.

Yah, Green hasn't been even close to what he was with the Jays for about five years or so.  I didn't like the moves either, just wanted to see what met fans think.  My girl hates the moves too and she's a die-hard met fan.  The good news is she knows baseball much more than BDC and doesn't drive me fucking insane.  And were the same age, sorry cakes.

Nady was not a guy we should lose sleep over.  He was an average fit in right field and didn't do jack with men on base.  I don't want a guy who can't hit in the clutch in the playoffs.  Give green a minute before bashing him.  He is best friends with Delgasdo and we all know what Delgado had done for Beltran.  Green also as good friends with LoDuca.  Maybe a change is what he needs.  His numbers also don't reflect how many games he has played.  Not many.

Down 7-1... Pujols hits two dingers and has 7 RBI... How do the Mets deal??? Delgado: 5 RBI and 2 HR's, Beltran: 1 HR and 2 RBI... The Mets win 8-7!!!! Unbelievable!...

You just put your finger on what bothers me about people complaining about the Yanks. In any competitive marketplace, its compete or die. And to be fair, the A's and Twins dont have the resources the Yanks do, but that doesn't mean you need to knock down the Yanks, that means those other teams need to try to get their own revenues up as high as they can. And some of them really dont try too hard. Look at the Indians, a small market baseball backwater for 50 years. They built a new stadium, and now they consistently field competitive teams and have a middle of the pack payroll. The Expos (now the Nats) are now looking at being one of the TOP revenue teams, once they get their new stadium. The Red Sox ownership own both NESN and the ballclub, as does Hicks in Texas with the Rangers. Other teams should stop complaining about the Yanks and start looking at maxmizing their own revenues by all means possible. if anything there should be a minimum cap, i know that people
will say that its unfair to make a team/ owner spend money if he doesnt
want to so if no minimum cap can be agreed on then there should be a
minimum cap luxury tax, not as high as the over the limit tax but
significant enough so that an owner doesnt spend 15 million on an
entire team like the marlins  Sounds good in theory but I'm not sure it would work in practice. Do you force a team to sign players they dont need to meet a floor? Or to overpay for others? THose caps force teams to do things that aren't good for their team, but they have to for cap reasons. Which is counterproductive. Sometimes a fire sale is how a business gets back on its feet. Look at the Marlins and Padres in recent years. Plus, could you have a more hard cap/parity league than the NFL? And despite that, the Pats still won 3 straight. And I would argue the league as a whole is much less interesting. There are no great teams anymore, no team to feel strongly about, for or against. And their ratings have slipped steadily since switching to these rules.   <blockquote />

I think the best thing they could do is extend the eligibility for free agncy, which is currently 7 years service time. Make it 8 or 9 and teams like the A's and Twins would get the majority of most players careers. But good luck getting that past the union. Actually, my idea would be to throw out the entire system they have now and have the owners simply pay the union 50% (or so) of their gross revenues and let the union decide who gets what. Players would be obligated to stay with the teams that developed them for a set term (7-8 years) just like they do today. After that, they can play wherever they want to, but they wont leave for $$ since the union sets their salary. THey'll stay or leave because its where they want to be. What bugs fans about free agency is players leaving for $$, that would be eliminated. But thats a pipe dream of mine, never happen.

<a href="http://www.nypost.com/sports/hold_the_zito_sports_joel_sherman.htm" target="_blank">
Yanks, Mets Not Interested In Zito</a> DON'T believe the hype, the speculation or the gossip.
The Yankees and Mets have almost no interest in pursuing Barry Zito as
a free agent. The buzz all year has been that Zito will gravitate
to a coast. But if it is the East Coast, it is going to be outside the
Big Apple. Multiple officials from both New York teams said they have
no current plans to go after Zito. Neither club considers the
lefty an ace and they know with Scott Boras as his agent, Zito is going
to seek No. 1-starter pay. Boras did not return a phone call. But I
believe I am familiar enough with his history to surmise his strategy. Roy
Oswalt received a five-year, $73-million extension to stay in Houston.
Boras is going to claim his guy deserves more because he is younger,
left-handed, more durable and has produced similar career results while
working exclusively in the AL. Boras will assemble one of his famous
books that will attempt to seduce NL teams by showing how much better
guys such as Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez pitched after switching
over from the AL, and will try to lure all teams by showing how in 2018
Zito will be winning his 300th game. Never doubt Boras' powers of
persuasion since he got huge deals by sprucing up the defective Kevin
Brown, Darren Dreifort and Chan Ho Park. Just don't expect the New York clubs to buy into the hard sell. At
the trade deadline, the Mets thought they had a deal in place for
Oswalt and, revealingly, exerted little effort to acquire Zito. More
revealingly, when it was suggested to a Mets official that Boras would
probably look to exceed Oswalt's years and dollars, the official said,
"Zito is no Oswalt." Another Mets official said the club might
seek a rotation upgrade, but "I highly doubt it is going to be Zito."
In pitching coach Rick Peterson, the Mets have a resource who worked
for a long time with Zito in Oakland. Yet the Mets have expressed
concern about bringing flaky Zito to New York. Besides, the
Mets actually feel better today about their 2007 rotation than earlier
this year, and think both the free-agent and trade markets might be so
prohibitive when it comes to rotation arms that they might just stay
in-house. They believe Tom Glavine and Martinez will be
above-average for another season. They think they have assembled a
potential-filled inventory of Brian Bannister, Phil Humber, Mike
Pelfrey and Oliver Perez. Plus they still control Victor Zambrano and -
if they believe Guillermo Mota and Duaner Sanchez can handle set-up
roles - Aaron Heilman can again be auditioned for the rotation. At
this moment, the Mets are prioritizing a second baseman, and Julio Lugo
tops their list. Lugo has struggled since becoming a Dodgers
utilityman, but Mets GM Omar Minaya adores Lugo, a Brooklyn native.
Minaya craves putting as many top athletes on the field as possible and
envisions a dynamic top-of-the-order offense and middle-of-the-diamond
defense with Jose Reyes, Lugo and Carlos Beltran.   If the Yanks and Mets play in the WS this year, I'll bet the team that loses will change their tune. I think the Mets need him more than the Yanks, and they could use him too. With the age on the Met pitching staff, and Pedro's lack of durability you cant go into the with 4 starters and a few maybes. Figure next year the staff is Pedro, Glavine, El Duque, Maine and . . . ?? . . . Pelfry? Are you sure he's ready? I'm not. Put it this way, who would you rather see every 5th day. Brian Bannister or Barry Zito?But the 2 NY teams rarely get into bidding wars with each other, especially on the Met side where I think Fred feels there's no point to trying to outbid George.

Crickets? I am sure most mets fans were watching the coverage not running to thier computers to post something witty. It was a very nice celebration and nice of the young guys to go back out there and salute the fans who stuck around.

They just announced that Pedro has a tendon tear in his other calf.  He's out for the season.  It's looks like the rotation will be El Duque, Glavine, Trachsel, Maine.  It's gonna be tough.

Take him. The Yankees aren't going after him very hard anyway. They kick his ass around every time they face him. He won the Cy Young 4 years ago and has been mediocre ever since.

Hopefully the MRI was just precautionary and he'll be fine. I love El Duque, if anyone will rise to the occasion in a big spot, its him. But he's also a bit of a hypochondriac. He'd stay on the DL forever when he was with the Yanks for shit nobody could figure out. But come postseason time, he'd be there. I have to believe he'll take the mound if at all possible.  <blockquote />

Show me the statistic where Jeter outperformed Reyes this year.  I'm not saying Jeter doesn't deserve more respect in the postseason but Reyes hadn't even played a game before you said that there is no comparison.

Boonie, I love ya. But let Reyes do it for a few years and be clutch in the post season a few times before we start comparing the two.  I was THRILLED for Delgado today. After such a long and productive career to FINALLY get to the post season, then make the most of it. He was pumped all game, and it was great seeing a guy like that come through.

10-04-2006, 05:22 PM

First of all, to compare a second year guy to a 10= year vet isnt smart to do. The reason Met fans are passionate about it is this.  We all know Jeter is great and we all here his praise and we even give him his respect.  Yankee fans on the other hand are one track minded a-holes that only see Yankee pinstripes.  Just like Dave, its Yankee pride and f the thers.  We are finally thrilled that we have our own to brag about.  Just relax yankee fans, and dwell on your 26 world titles. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m205/Minutebloe/esd4sigbz9.jpg

Although we are goign to have to see him sometime this next coming series. Bullpen is going to be really taxed. But it will be exciting nonetheless to watch. Great win for the Mets. And thank god they arent running around the stadium like they did in 2000 with their jizz rags waving.

(3rd base coach Manny) Acta then proclaimed: "Party in Queens, entierro in the Bronx," using the Spanish word for burial. "Party in Queens, entierro in the Bronx," Reyes repeated, referring to the Yankees' ouster in Detroit.I have to admit I am a little disheartend by that quote. Shows a general unprofessionalism, and no need to kick people when they are down. No fucking way would Torre's Yankees be doing the same thing if the Mets were eliminated. And not for nothing, they did beat a sub-par Dodger team who had many glaring holes in their lineup. As far as I am concerned, my Mets havent won anything yet till they have the world championship in Queens. Ill climb off my soapbox now.

Congrats on your win guys! At least they'll still be one team from NY I can root for in the playoffs.  Did someone get hurt last night? I flipped the game on and saw them carrying someone from the dugout.

At least they'll still be one team from NY I can root for in the playoffs. wow shocking. sorry i dont know you personally so don't take it as that. its just that pretty much every yankee fan i know between the ages of 25-35 seems to have liked the mets in the 80's. even the ones that deny it, i as them to name a couple of 80s yanks, besides mattingly and winfield they can't go much deeper than that. so to all bandwagon jumpers, fuck off we don't want you back. i've sat through 20 years of futility for this right.

Cavez is a way better fielder than Nady and Chavez adds speed.  What would we benefit from, an occasional double from Nady.  You always need pitching.  As a whole Nady sucked.

This is where my 20 years of futile negativity comes in... I think the Cards have way too tough a lineup for this makeshift staff. Now that Floyd is really out and has wasted a roster spot, I think we're in serious trouble.

This game has been a fucking disgrace. You knew Maine wasn't worth a shit but enough with the walks kid. You have a 3 run lead, throw strikes and let the defense play. And whats with the love between Willy and Mota? He gets into trouble then seems to wiggle out of it, tonight he couldnt. Now he brings in Wagner in a nonsave situation??? If you've watched any game where he pitches in a nonsave situation you'd know he is pisspoor in those games. Its not over yet but if it ends like this, we really gave this one away.

You take three different leads, and let them come back each time. Then your closer gives up a homer to a guy who only had two all season. Now you have to play three in St. Louis with the Cards having to feel pretty good about themselves. I hate to say it, but I can see this ending very dissapointingly.
