The supposed “Best Team”in the NFL should not have to cheat to win. No team should. The league should have taken care of this before this week. What the Pats did is unacceptable to football and to fans everywhere.

I hate the Patriots Poster Boy of the NFL image and I am still upset about the way they treated Bledsoe.

I can’t wait to see that team fail.

I agree. Despite Delgado’s struggles this year, we’ll need him. At minimum, his presence in the batting order is important. Even if he’s not going well, pitchers have to be careful not to thow a mistake becauise they’ll know it could turn into a 3-run homer.

I hope he’s back by the playoffs…..the lineup is better with him in it. If hes not able to go, then I’m confident in the other guys ability to pick up the slack.

Alright, I dont consider myself one of these “chicken little” Mets fans who love to bash the team every time we lose a game. I know we have this division in the bag, and we are the best team in the National League right now. However, is anybody else really worried about not gettign Delgado back at full strength for the playoffs? I know he’s had a miserable season, but he was HUGE for us in the playoffs last year. I know I would feel much better about our chances at the World Series with him healthy, and I’m wondering why more people aren’t feeling “a bit concerned” like Willie.

Also a good point…….

I don’t hear anyone complaining now that we can’t beat the Braves. We beat them when it matters….2 yrs in a row now they’re gonna miss the playoffs…

willie knows when and how to push the team. in june, you don’t get too excited about a series or game. down the stretch in september with a lead. that’s when you finish off the opposition.

love the emphasis on team over individual accomplishment.

And its the fact that he had an awful April…….he is the MVP hands down IMHO.

Matt…..jeze…Jets fans are really bitter about the Pats huh? Oh well, winning it all this year will be even more sweeter as the rest of the league complains. And it starts by whipping up on SD on Sunday. Enjoy a PO’ed Ravens team…make sure you cheer that backup QB really loud and proud.

Anyway…it’s not time to argue about football until after the World Series……LETS GO METS

It’s not the 30-30 that is impressive, it’s the .315/.400/.550-30-30-100-100 that puts him in such heady company.
