So going to my usual 10-20 games a year is not a problem. Omar has said time and time again that moves don't NECESSARILY have to be made in the off-season. They can be made during the year. I happen to agree with him. Overpaying for Lohse, Silva or who ever else is not always the answer. Toolbag, I live in SI and BK. So going to my usual 10-20 games a year is not a problem.

"vinnie", in the real world here.. when pieces that appear the be your entire offseason strategy "Lohse, Silva, Haren, etc.." fall off the table, every other piece remaining becomes more valuable. So, Omar now has even greater pressure to overpay for one of the remaining pieces to help justify the 20% ticket price increase. Ahh.. what do you care. I'm sure that you don't ever leave NJ to watch the Mets at shea anyway.

Then again, Clemens is a dopefiend [steroids in this case] so who really knows until he is well into his career. Didn't Humber almost have a no hitter in the minors? Granted that is the minors but people are saying he may be a reliever at best. Only time can truly tell.

I would rather sign Lohse than Livan if that tells you anything. and I have no idea who Mike Prior is... Maybe he is worth taking a look at.. Mark Prior might not be a bad idea but it is rumored by our very dependable reporters that he prefers SD. Freddy Garcia won’t help us to mid season.

I may face them down the line in a playoff and live to regret it. Since when is a pitcher of this quality not worth two prospects?
