“ps
I just cringe whenever Cerrone types things now.”

I’m always amazed (amused?) by these kinds of comments from the “Bring Me the Head of Omar Minaya” types. Why do you guys even read this blog since it’s so obviously a propaganda outlet for the evil Mets GM? I seem to recall someone in a similar thread suggest the need for a fireOmar.com site. I totally agree, and you can all go and spew your venom at each other to your hearts content.

Meanwhile…I for one, am grateful that there is a site where serious consideration can be given to the events surrounding the team that we love, absent the infantile vitriol that so many seem to view as the gift bestowed upon them by the wonderfully anonymous internet.

Thanks Matt, for being an adult…Oh, and by the way, I said in another thread that this deal didn’t thrill me, but of course it’s way too early for anyone to know how it will play out (see Benson for Maine and El Duque)…

It was because Foster was effectively done at that point in his career but if Foster still was the offensive player he had been with Cincinnati when in 1977 he hit 52 hrs the Mets would have been happy to keep him.

Key phrase is how “offseason has begun.” It’s still early. Are we nothing but yankee fans who can’t wait a bit to see how things work out. Plenty of time for bashing Omar if nothing works out and the team crashes next year. It’s almost like fans here are wishing for that so their dire predictions work out, and they can gleefully say goodbye to Omar. Nice. As I see it, it’s all residual pain from the last few weeks of the season.

i dont understand why all of a sudden people love lastings milledge this much.

Is it a love of of Lastings Milledge, or more of a genuine confusion and a growing discontentment with the organization after the way the season ended, and offseason has begun?

First off, Christian is my first name.

Nice to meet you.

And frankly, none of that crap matters.

Have you never told an off-color joke? Ever?

I don’t know you either, and I wouldn’t want to make any assumptions, but if you are going to try and answer no that I would tent to think you were fibbing.

His comment was not ingnorant. It was a joke.

It appears to me that you are using a non-story like this merely to add fuel to the fact that you think that Omar made a bad trade here.

And doing that is an improvement over the previous GM’s performance. Being competitive has always been a provlem for the Mets (think the ’90s, etc). If they’re competitive every year, that’s a bad thing? What are we here, Yankee fans, only happy if we’re going to win the WS every year? Be unhappy about the trade, but I’ve enjoyed the last three years (okay the last week of the season was a heartache) as much as any time I was a Met fan.

And another thing, maybe this is the price for bringing up talent in NYC. There’s a massive number of commentators who never let go of any issue, however small, regarding these young players. If Bannister had stayed he might have been raked over the coals too, but he goes to the outback of Kansas City where he can develop in peace. You have to be extremely talented (Jose Reyes) and/ or be a natural in the limelight (David Wright) to handle it here. Too bad.

The Mets had a lot of help driving down Milledge’s value. Russo–Mr. Know it all base on no info–knocked Milledge relentlessly, especially over the last few weeks. Kept up a running mantra how he couldn’t believe that any other team would be interested in this kid as a player. The dog loves to run down the Mets and any of their players who has any issue at all, making them seem like second comings of Hannibal Lector.
