IF Delgado had hit in May, June and July then Wright and the Pen would not be an isuse right now either.

stick, I don’t know what you are talking about moving on. The entire area is still red pinstripes and they are barely talking about the Eagles win yesterday. The entire morning sports radio was still all Phillies.

had the mets been in the phillies position, the phillies would be the furthest thing from anyones mind … the ONLY silver lining we can take out of the past season is that the phillies care moe about us than we do about them.

probably, if you think he has a future at catcher. Of course they need a 1B in 2009 (if not 2008) too, but that is easier to fill.

For all the people obsessed with the Phils obsession, be glad to know that the city has pretty much moved on already.

I listen to the news radio station in the AM for the traffic (and to catch up on the other news of course!), and in sports, the only phils reference was Amaro likely getting the Gm job.

Everything now is Iggles (who I detest, along with their fans, way more than the Phils or their psuedo fans!). And Penn State will get a slice of the action.

So, 2008 is over, they get their banner, but every team is back to 0-0 heading into the off season. Let 2009 officially begin!

Cause what you did last year, is like so last year. Start 0-5 and the the Phils will get bood anyway. That I can guarantee.

lots of fire, and they darned near lost 2 different series that year in the PS, one entirely due to a starting pitcher (mike Scott) shutting them down.

The 88 team had pelnty of fire and heart too (and tons of talent), and lost to Orel Heirsheiser. ANd a dumb non-move by Davy to not pull doc, or maybe doc throwing a hittable pitch, yet I digress.

I think Wright has a healthy attitude. 2009 will redemptive.

Would anyone trade Neise for Saltalamacchia? I can’t believe how deep the rangers are.

Forget Jimmy Rollins, had the Mets been in the phillies position someone like Pedro would have said the same thing, and the reality is that he is 100% correct about the Mets(and as sad as it is to say, that makes two years in a row that Jimmy Rollins seems to know the Mets better then anyone else). The fact is that David Wright has been forced into being the leader and face of this franchise which is now synonymous with pathetically collapsing when it counts. He’s a great talent but he is the farthest thing from a leader and should not be the face of the franchise. Yet none of the other stars seem to care(i.e. Beltran) or can speak English well enough to be quoted on the NY evening news channels(i.e. Reyes). So until the Mets bring in another everyday player who can preform on the field and more importantly in the clubhouse this probably won’t be the last heartbreaking season we have to endure.

What David’s doing is what you need to do in New York.

You start saying something you shouldn’t, it becomes an unnecessary problem for the team, and they shift their focus somewhere where it shouldn’t be. They shouldn’t have to worry about being accountable for something they said that may provoke speculation, they should just do what they have to do to get the proper worth ethic and mentality needed for the upcoming season.

And now for an incredibly cheesy remark

Everyone on this team should learn from David and “Say the Wright Thing”
