Topic: STRUGGLING METS MULLING WHETHER TO DEAL

Well, when a Manager puts a scrub like Argenis Reyes in the leadoff position in his lineup, ya know things have hit rock bottom.

Omar mulling a deal, huh? Why, is a rival GM interested in any of the prized gems in the system? I would prefer to hear that Jeffy has mulled and is about to make the decision to dump Minaya and Jerry. Put Manuel out of his misery already. Neither Minaya or Manuel have been winners anywhere so why expect them to turn this thing around even if all injured players came back tomorrow. Newsday headline tomorrow: Los Metsos Say Adios to Omar & Jerry.

While I am not a big fan of Jerry Manuel, fact is he was Manager of the Year in 2000 when he guided the White Sox to an AL best 95-67 record.

I am very impressed with that stat but like Willie, JM is the wrong guy at the wrong place at the wrong time. Did Jerry get a ring in 2000? Sorry West Coast but they need to clean house from the choking loser image starting with the coaching staff which should have been done at the end of last season. Thanks Jerry but Caio Jerry thanks to Omar.  Believe me, if Omar stays and Jerry stays, I only hope that some good luck starts heading in the Mets direction. Maybe starting with some trades.

The first thing that comes to my mind is that with all the injuries we have and key players out any move now is a panic move (see Kazmir for Zambrano as a reminder of what one looks like) and I would hate to see Omar do that. I can see other GM holding a gun to his head, they are like sharks smelling blood for Pete's sake. Plus one move probably does not get us to the play-offs if we do not get some of these injured players back first. Do you want to mortgage the future and still not make the play-offs? The second thing is Holiday's number outside of Coor's Field drop of drastically even if you adjust the numbers for the difference in home vs away at-bats.

2006-2008 splits adjusted for at-bats 

Home : 62 HR 219 RBI .326 BA

Away:  49 HR 179 RBI .296 (He had 1.49 more at bats at home vs road, so I took his three year stats on the road and multiplied by 1.49)

Look at his stats this year, they are way down from previous years I think proving my point. While he is a good player I do not think he is the saviour some people think he would be.

This series with Philly is crucial. Lets see how motivated they get to play hard against the defending World Champs who as we all know---were called pansies or chokers by Coley & Jimbo Rollins. Tonite can send a message not only to Philly but to Atlanta and Florida as well. Inhuries aside, the Mets team was insulted. Hopefully, Livian can pitch a gem. I am feeling sweep this weekend by the Mets but I know, one game at a time. Payback time that is. GO METS!

Roat Roh, Reorge.

JUST PATHETIC. SO MUCH FOR FEELING GOOD VIBES FROM LIVIAN. LIVIAN IS DOING HIS TOM GLAVINE MELTDOWN AS I JUST TOOK A PEEK ON MLB.COM. IT'S A NIGHTMARE. UNREAL.

We just blew it right now with this week and it seems it going to get worst with the Dodgers and Reds in town. It seems any team can beat us up right now and that is not looking good.  We won't be getting Beltran or Reyes back till after the all-star break and the issue with that is are they going to be the same players that we seen. There is 3 positions that need to be upgraded and we have to start with the most recent one is a left field bat.  The 2nd position is a starting pitcher and the last is a real 2ndbase man. If you saw the series this week with the phills you saw how castillo did another error with a popup. We need to get someone else that knows how to play this position well.

What did I tell you people earlier in the year?  Didn't I tell you to just hang it up and go home?  Wasn't I right?  Of course I was, because we're a real team.  We swept you.

And now Pedro will come and pitch for us and throw a perfect game against you guys.  You choked again.  Although I give you credit for choking earlier in the year.

I'm here to show you that its obvious to everyone (except you mess fans) that the mess are losers.

We just routed a team 22 to 1.  A team that has a better record than you.  We are a real team with real players that want to play.

Gotta love watching the mess fallllllllllllllllllllllling and then go splat.

Can't wait for them to displace the Nationals as the 5th place team.

Just take a breath and calm down there Phillie Boy. Injuries have hurt us so don't get too psyched up about this sweep. Still a half season to go. Although you seem to goof on the Mets as much as Mets fans dislike the Phils, I think you should definitely hold off on ordering your 2009 Championship champagne.

WHO IS THIS FILTHADELPHIA FAN? WHY IS HE ON THIS WEBSITE? GO BACK TO YOUR CHOLESTEROL FILLED CHEESESTEAKS AND CREAMCHEESE! YOU HAVE NO REASON BEING ON THIS WEBSITE.TAKE A HIKE BUBBA !

It is apparent that we the fans, on this site, do not have any answers for Minaya on how to improve the team for the 2nd half. Even worse, I am not so sure that Omar has any clue how to improve this team other than bringing in Ruben Sierra or Julio Franco or maybe extend Castillo's ludicrous contract. Sad, very sad state of the Mets.

On the bright spot, there are 82 games in which these guys have the opportunity to step up and play the game hard. Church, Schneider, Murphy, Evans with the help of Wright, Sheff and Cora. The pitching staff will be better when the offense decides to score some runs and not make mediocre pitchers look loke Jim Bunning. The Phils have allowed Atlanta, the Mets and Florida to hang around which means that Philly ain't as good or Lidge lucky as they were last season. Yeah, it is a little downer that Philly swept the Mets in thewir building where they aren't indestructible. Whichever team wins the East will need the help of other clubs beating the other teams in the East. That has been Baseball forever. Hopefully the Reds can rebound from that rout last night

and Pelf can pitch well and get some defensive and offensive help. I can't believe that it could get any worse for the Mets. It can only get better. Maybe it is worth trading for a bopper like Matty H

and attempt to sign him. Would Singleton or Otis have emerged as stars as members of the Mets?

Melvin Mora also? Even if F-Mart blossoms into a star in 3-4 years with another team like the A's he wouldn't be doing it in NY. In 5 years, they can resign F-Mart as a FA. Farfetched but nothing is written in stone in baseball any longer. Minaya and the owners have to be held responsible and I feel that they owe it to the fans especially with a new ballpark to go for it this season. Who does Peter Gammons love so much? Ike Davis?  Wilmer Flores? Toby Stoner? Josh Thole? The Mets can always sign a FA to be what F-Mart becomes--if he becomes. Put Holliday in right, Carlos B in center and Church if he isn't traded in right. Then, they can afford to be more patient with Murphy and Evans as Wagner and Delgado come off the books. And they just have to bite the bullet and eat Castillo's contract and sign Orlando Hudson for next season. They blew it by not signing O-Dog this year because of Luis the Great. They will get a 2nd chance next year.

The easiest way to fix your team is to just stop playing.  Put down the gloves and bats and go home.  Your season is over and you'll never win another championship.
