Sorry West Coast,I go Huh ?Just don't get the post.Your saying miricales are coming. We are overdue for some. I hope your right.73 Mets went 82-80 , are you pointing that out ?If it happens I would be there.Talk to me me buddy. We are getting in desparate times here now.
Yes, I am pointing out that I do not need to see this team go 38-12 down the stretch (it certainly would be nice) to make the playoffs if they get there with a .500 record who cares. I just want them to get there. Once there anything can happen | |

RonHunt, no offense taken, I get very passionate with the Mets (like you and the rest of the fans on this board). In past posts, I mentioned playing minor league ball, well I never mentioned which team I played for; well guess who that team was////I have played against and with Omar during our playing days. I will not say we are good friends, but we a history together. Sometimes I see him in spring training and I rip into him (jokingly) about some of the moves he's made or didn't make; he laughs it off. Please don't think I'm tooting my own horn, I'm not; I felt it was time to finally bring up my history with this team. I have many friends who are still in baseball, mostly scouts/player development and many times they inform me and provide with information; which is why sometimes I come across as a know it all. I mean no disrespect to anyone on this board, my passion for this team runs very deep and sometimes I get defensive on a personal note. I am dissappointed by the way this team has played, but I am conditioned to be positive through adversity. As an athletic, that's how you maintain a mental toughness that is needed throughout a season. As you know, baseball players fail more times than we succeed, so remaining positive could be the difference between making the majors and not making the majors. When I visit family in New York, I sometimes watch a show called Loud Mouths. Two guys arguing over issues; which is great entertainment. I can see myself,westcoast, metfan on one side of the table and you, gary from ariz, baseballmom on the other side of the table arguing over the Mets. I bet it would be better entertainment than those two guys. I think this site has very knowledgable fans like the above mentioned and also HoJo, Afansince, 69/86 (not sure of this handle) and if I left out anyone, I apologize. We all have good points and at times we all (yes, including me) make points that seems off the wall. All I ask is that when fans make statements on this site that warrants facts to back it up, please have them. In the future, I will choose my words more carefully and try not to come across as a know it all. I am , so proud of you Crunch, I've told you your a better man then me and I meant it. You are a BETTER MAN THE ME ! I have a short fuse, I assume so do others on this site. We are all Met fans here, we have differant opinions, differant idea's where this team should go. I appreciate your positiveminded attitude for this Met team. I need you to be that person. I do not want you to change. I do want you to see the ups and downs though. I wish I knew your real name, but understand we can't do that. You have my respect always, understand that. I am very proud of you, a mystery, but very proud. Go Crunch, If we win, I will remember you the most for being the staunch advocate of this Met team. Go Crunch, go Mets ! Honesty doesn't come across to often, this one did.No tsaying your not an honest person. | |

RonHunt, thank you for the kind words, our passion for this team may come out differently through our words; but not through our passion emotionally. You remain being you and I'll remain being me, there's nothing wrong with that and along with the rest of the fans on this board; it makes this site more entertaining.I am , so proud of you Crunch,I've told you your a better man then me and I meant it.You are a BETTER MAN THE ME !

Hey Met fan,Prefer to respond to you vs. the rhubard going on here LOL ! I love BaseballMom, My neighbor, Afan, as well as Crunch, West Coast and you.What's happening here in this dogfight of posts is frustrated Met fans vs. positive minded Met fans and guess what, it was due to happen !When you read all posts, you see differant styles of writing and sometimes things get missinterpreted.Lord knows I've apoligized so many times here and sometimes I think, 'what the hell did I say"?Crunch, no offense intended, your writing sometimes comes across as an expert on the Mets. I view you as being a very positive minded Met fan. Again , no offense intended.Hell to be a Met fan, you better be positive minded ! Met fan, West Coast, Crunch, what I think you miss here, and we need to hear it occasionally , no , more often, is your dissapointment in this team!Oh, thats negative. But, needs to be done! Needs to be stated emphatically ! Just as much as my being negative means I write positive when the time comes.If we knew more often that you feel the same way, the dissapointment, we would get along better.We are not Steppard wives to this Met team! To Omar, to the Met Org. If Omar is great, we would have won one by now, wouldnt we have ?Do we not measure greatness by a WS ?We CAN be , Met fans that dissagree where this team is going, and there is no denying, although I will open the floor, that we are on a downwood spiral.Unless your content with being a plus .500 team every year, I think your making a mistake .Go Met fans, positive or negative, we are Met fans either way ! Totally deflated. the Band Aid Mets get swept by the Yankees @ Cit-Field. Not that it matters when Mariano got his RBI walk because everyone knew that the Mets couldn't get 2 hits in an inning let alone 2 runs to tie the game but it is just embarassing to lose against the Yankees and be the laughing stock of their fanbase with no hope on the horizon via trade or prospects. I know that this guy F-Mart is only 20 but he seems lost at the plate like the rest of them. Very sad that it has come to this. Minaya needs to go and Manuel needs to be replaced. And the Wilpon's need to be held accountable and find somebody else to GM their ballclub and protect their investment after the scouting staff, Omar and Bernie have hurt them. The fans deserve better. | |

It is truly sad that it has come down to this. What the hell has Omar done since Delgado went down etc? You have to have a plan B in case something like this happens. If you are not planning ahead you are planning to fail. I understand all the injuries but the Mets were obviously never prepared for the rash of injuries. I know it would be difficult for most clubs to deal with the injuries but the Mets have the money and need to do something. New ballpark same results! I basically forget how nice the new stadium is with the wheels coming off the wagon right before our eyes.

I basically forget how nice the new stadium is with the wheels coming off the wagon right before our eyes. It boggles the mind what is going on with the injuries of these modern day athletes who are supposed to be stronger, faster, certainly not tougher. Julio Franco, Luis Castillo, Moises Alou are reasons enough for Jeffy Boy and Freddie Coupon to send Omar to the ESPN Broadcasting Team. Again, Omar has not done the job that he was brought here to do. Left Field Murphy, Right Field Church coming off an injury plagued season. Now Murphy at 1B. Sorry, Murph and Martinez are lost out there and this team cannot afford a weak link at 2B. Very nice that Omar addressed the bullpen with K-Rod and Putz but as was stated on this site.....he rested on those laurels and did not address the offense until Sheffield became available. Again, where is this team stacked with gems in the farm system? Ike Davis? WIlmer Flores? Josh Thole? Eddie Kunz? Tobi Stoner? I see that Brian Stokes is doing his Heilman impersonation tonite. Ahhhh just disgusting as Omar just sits on his hands and states that he is working the phones. I didn't know that you were living out in AZ also. Huntsy is over in New Mexico. I am thrilled that I haven't bought tix yet when the Mets come into Chase next month. Minaya must go. | |

WE ALL DESERVE BETTER AND WHY AGGRAVATE MYSELF ANYMORE WHEN THE "AMAZING MESS" COMES TO AZ. I WILL BE GEARING UP FOR FOOTBALL SEASON AT THAT POINT. I KNOW MANY PEOPLE BACK EAST THAT WILL NOT RENEW THEIR TICKETS AFTER THIS SEASON. THE NOVELTY OF THE NEW STADIUM HAS APPPARENTLY WORN OFF AND PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE NO MORE PATIENCE WITH THIS ORGANIZATION. INJURIES ARE ONE THING BUT TO LET THIS GET TO THIS POINT IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WITH THE MONEY THE METS ORGANIZATION HAS. OBVIOUSLY THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WINNING.THEY ARE JUST WORRIED ABOUT SELLING MERCHANDISE, TICKETS, ETC. |
