But let's expand on your post. He didn't sign a FA pitcher last season when he knew Galvine was finished after last season. He traded away a promising young Sp for nothing (burgos) Didn't upgrade @ 2b or RF last off season. Omar is over rated by the media, why/ Who knows, but the #'s don't lie, and Mets fans deserve better than this used car salesman. Oh yeah, how Backman for manager while I'm at it, send willie back to the Bronx!!!!! You are on point my man. But let’s expand on your post.

I think we Metsfans have our underdog edge back after the last two years. i like when these threads devolve into outright ridiculousness, as opposed to their normal subtle ridiculousness.

I think he is very smart and that he is a very good writer. i also think he spends too much time with the yankees. i like klapisch.

Not much more than that. omarluckedout. both were not the primary focus of the trade. they were throw ins that their teams had given up on. every night he kneels by his bed and praysto the goddess of LUCK.. he has been a checkbook GM.

It was great back when he got Pedro. It showed other player, Beltran/Delgado/Glavine/LoDuca, that the Mets meant business. Since then, nothing or any great importance. Players WANT to play for the Yankees. Three years ago, Omar started to lay the foundation for being a desirable destination for players, but has lost ground since. He needs to land a big fish NOW, or this team will loss it's status amoung the best in the NL. They need to go to the World Series, hopefully win, but a trip would justify the Omar/Willie era.....

LoDuca was in serious decline from hsi years of steroid use. Schendier / Castro in a 60/40 split should perform well for a catching spot.. And Church vs Shawn Greene? you cant count on milledge for big time numbers this year.. he is a crap shoot.. Church put up 40 plus doubles and is a better player than we rolled out in RF last year. how have we weakened the offense?

He also traded Chris Young to the Rangers for Justin Echols and Einar Diaz. While it's true that the Expos' future remained hazy at the time, that didn't mean he had to empty out the farm system of prospects and leave it barren, especially when he didn't get particularly good value back for his trades.
