I had to register because this point is really getting to me.Why is Omar catching such a break?

He put us in this position by sticking with olde/fragile player like Duque, Pedro, Alou and Delgado. Then he goes out and signs Castillo(a one legged slap hitter) to a 4 year deal(this is going to be the worst Mets signing since Vince Coleman).
If Santana wasn’t handed to us he would have done next to nothing this off season.

Would Millar cost that much? He would be a good righty fit when Delgado continues his power outage.

If Wille goes so should Omar.

That’s what I figured. Ah well. If we take lesser seats I assume they’ll give us some money back?

I’m actually starting to feel bad for Willie. I’ve been on his case for a little over a year now and haven’t let up. For some reason this morning I woke up feeling sorry for the guy. I hope this situation is dealt with soon. The organization either needs to make a change or make it known that Willie is here to stay. I do believe all this Willie talk is hurting the team. Not sure how aware the players are of the fans distaste for his managerial style but enough is enough.

Lets hope that in todays game Willie comes charging out of the dugout on a bad call. Kicks some dirt around and lets 2 years of frustration out before our eyes. Thats what I need to get on board with this guy. I need Willie to be real. Stop pretending that things are alright and just be you. Walk out of that dugout with conviction and let us fans know that your alive.

I can barely remember Willie during his playing days. Was he as RESERVED back then as he is now?

In the last few days I’ve seen a concerted effort on Willies part to be nice to the media and try to turn this thing around. IMO I believe Willie just needs to be Willie. Not the Willie we’ve seen for the last 3 years. but the angry bitter man we all know is inside of him. At least I can respect him for being real I understand that I am possibly 100% wrong about his true personality but there just seems to be so much pent up frustration and attitude. don’t try and be the nice guy Willie, just be you to its full extent. You come off fake any other way

I was surprised he came back this year

Maz = manager

Keith = bench coach

Ron = pitching coach

Burkhardt can work the booth with Gary

I can take Burkhardt’s job

I just called the Mets to check this out, because I couldn’t go tonight.

You can still exchange your tickets for a future game, but you are not guaranteed the same seats you are sitting in.

If you want to be in the seats you had for last night’s game, you have to use them tonight.

considering Willie’s tendancy to use a B lineup in the second games of DH’s, I think Pelfrey could use Castro’s bat in the lineup. Seeing as Alou and Beltran will probably sit, Pelf could use all the help he can get scoring runs.

I think its better to keep Santana on his day (5/15) so he pitches one of the double header games in Atl on 5/20. Of course this means Johan will make 5 or 6 starts in a row on 4 days rest, which isnt his normal thing, but he’s the ace.

I think I would call up Vargas, DFA Sosa, and have Figgy bounce back and forth to the pen around those double headers. Then Figgy takes over the long man role.

They probably owe Armas Jr. the first shot, so they could call him up for the first DH, then cut him, and call up Vargas for the 5/20 DH.

Armas last pitched on 5/6, Vargas on 5/8, so I guess we will know better if Armas takes the mound tomorrow.

What we do know is this team is playing 500 ball for almost a season now and collapsed in historical proportions at the end of last year with Willie at the helm. Its time for a change.
