Go back to your hole in flushing toilet and cry in your beer.

I hope you realize that all of next year this team will constantly be reminded of the dual collapse. Do you think it will be an easy experience for them to go through? Do you think the players will not have lingering doubts in their mind? That’s the only reason you may have to consider a trade that you would not have otherwise made. You saw how this team began the season. The small amount of research I have done shows that teams that have epic collapses (and in this case follow it with another devastating ending) generally follow it with bad seasons.

Burnett pitched against the AL East while Perez pitched in a much weaker division in a much weaker league. It’s like comparing apples and oranges.

I think it is a good idea. You cannot put this on any one individual. I was never in favor of replacing Willie with Manuel but he did a good enough job with what he inherited. Now is the time though to really think if he is the one to take us past this next year. I am not convinved he is.

Have you seen his numbers with the Dodgers:

.396BA .489OBP .743SLG 213OPS+

These numbers don’t belong to just another good bat. He had 53 rbi in just 187 at bats.

This really sux bad. But for some reason I am not going ballistic over here. I’m not totally depressed. I have not lost my mind. Maybe because it’s not surprising, with what we went through last year. Maybe because of our rough start.

But this all started with Duaner and the taxi cab incident in Miami. We lost our 8th inning setup guy because of that and Xavier Nady, a very consistently hitting above average RF with pop that provided balance in the lineup good production and protection out of the 6 spot. That incident is still haunting the Mets today.

Changes will definitely be made for next year. The obvious one being the bullpen. Minaya will work well for this team. He will get what we need.

New era next year!

Aguayo needs to go too. He is terrible. Stevie Wonder would be a better 3B coach.

Get Ho Jo out too. Guys couldn’t ‘hit’ to save their lives down the stretch.

Would all of you guy’s be open to that idea?

No Omar, no Jerry, no Sandy Alomar, no Louie Aguayo, no Ken Oberkfell, no Pedro Martinez, no El Duque, no Moises Alou, no Billy Wagner, no more signing old players.

Give me something new. Just because one era starts doesn’t mean you can’t bring back the guy’s wh you need. The guy’s who can still make you better.

A new stadium should have a new manager. Maybe the problem with 08′ was we carried too much of 07′s baggage. Particularly Willie and the bullpen.
