Championship. mark it down.
Hey Gina, i marked down championship after Omar said that Castillo will be our 2B in 09.. lol.
i’m glad i wasn’t the only one.
At least we’re getting younger when we carry 3 Catchers on the roster.
Los Mets!
(I’ve typed this on the last 3 threads)
Viva El Omar!
This must be the first under-30 catcher the Mets have had in the minor leagues in decades.
What about that guy Thole? I thought he was supposed to be good?
Thole as i’ve seen online… a solid hitter, with no power, who hasn’t been a catcher for too long. He is still learning how to call a game, and his defensive skills aren’t supposed to be that great as of yet.
We had someone named Jesus Flores a few years ago. Not sure whatever happened to him…….
he’s still around i think. don’t we have the son of tony pena in the minors?
koos was joking…not sure if you were…but he’s the starting catcher with the Nationals.
and yes Francisco Pena, who is now 19 years old, is in the minors.
lol oh i mistakened him with the other flores. the 17 year old one who’s tearing up the minors.
lol so true
Who is this guy Rivera? :(
Dang Omar did it again. He was supposed to sign JUAN Rivera.
beat me to it.
I think everyone is missing the point. His last name is Rivera, of course Omar will give him a shot!!
Ha, Ha, good one. Oh my, that’s funny. Never heard that one before. Oh my goodness. You should join the tour. Let us know the next time you post in 8 months after it’s over.
Hey thereal, its called sarcasm buddy. Relax.
Why? That is a lame racist joke that has been used on here 1,000 times.
it’s fun to be sarcastic with an old joke we’ve heard a billion times….i wish i were ‘kewl’ too.
Racist? Are you kidding me?? Its far from Racist?
Seriously? How is it FAR from racist? To say that a GM only brings in players because of their race?
Its not racist at all,
First off its the truth that no one can deny.
And second, im not degrading anyone, talkin low to anyone, or making fun of anyone’s race.
I don’t think it’s really racist based on the actual definition of racist, he’s not making any sort of generalization about hispanics.
Thank You Gina.
so boston is mostly white because theo epstein is white? you shouldnt care about race, you should only care if the player is good or not.
Ok maybe racist is the wrong word. He is however, accusing our GM of being racially bias. How about that one?
As for you comment that you can’t deny it. How about Maine, Church, Schnieder, calling up Murphy, Evans, Pelfrey, Show (like it or not), Smith, Wise……
It’s just not true.
Look at our starting 9, Chruch and Wright are only non hispanics
truth that no one can deny?
Omar brought in Wags, Lo Duca, Conine, and was one stupid Baltimore owner decision away from adding Roy Oswalt…he tried to sign david eckstein but he wanted to play short and a diff contract…he traded for john maine, traded for church AND schneider…u make it seem like he’s NEVER added a white player…come on, smarten up…
those are all just off the top of my head
Tatis, Beltran, Reyes, Castillo, Delgado, Castro, Santana.
He brought in Wags, cause he had to, hence the contract Wags got, everyone you just mentioned lasted 10 minutes on the mets be they were gone. As far as Loduca, Omar rally showed him the door last year huh.
He traded for Estrada, just so Loduca would not have a place on the team.
Yeah, he shouldn’t have traded for Santana because of his last name. UR ridiculous.
I WANNA SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT. IM NOT RACIST AGAINST HISPANICS. MY FIANCE IS HISPANIC. IM JUST STATING MY OPINION.
I feel sorry for your fiance. It seems like you are the one with the bias.
Its a shame, the reason why its been blogged about so many times, and joked about so many times is because it has substance. Its hard to admit it but its obvious, at least NO ONE can deny it.
lol so where were you a few years ago when one of the only hispanic players on the Astros’ roster was Luiz Vizcaino? Did you say that their GM was biased for having mostly White/non hispanic players? Don’t be ridiculous. Race shouldn’t be an issue anymore.
I am not talking about other teams or other GMs. I am talking about Mr. Omar Minaya. NO ONE ELSE!!!
The Mets currently have 15 players of very recent and obvious Latin American descent on the 40 man roster. The Braves have 14. The Marlins have 13. The Nationals have 12. And that’s just a few teams in our division- it’s the same for just about all of baseball. One or two more players on the roster is proof of some sort of huge hiring bias?
Well he did not show LoDuca the door. He traded for the guy first off. Then showed him the door because LoDuca was washed up. Evidence by his numbers last year.
The fact of the matter is that the players in MLB were about 25% of Latin American descent (at least on Opening Day Rosters in 2005), so the hiring will reflect that.
Right, And Castro and Schnieder were great!!!!!
I would agree with your 25% number, but the MEts are more like 80% hispanic on there roster.
It is for someone who is ignorant. I guess we should have never traded for Johan, it tipped us in the wrong direction.
NYMETSSOMETHING, can you back up your claim that the Mets roster is 80% hispanic? And even if they were, what the hell would it matter?
Um…15 out of 40 is 37.5%….a little higher than the 25% figure being thrown around here, but just a tad lower than 80%…
Hey, if you have a problem with the Mets having too many hispanic players, send the Wilpons a letter :) it is pointless to keep this argument going.
Ollie, Pedro, Johan, Beltran, Tatis, Delgado, Castillo, Castro, Reyes, Reyes, Chavez, Feliciano, Ayala, Sanchez, Burgos, Muniz, Vargas, Cancel,
Im sure i missed a few, since that is coming off the top of my head.
60% of our rotation, 77% of our opening day lineup. Yup, prettty close to 80% to me!!!!!
I can do the math to figure it’s 37.5%. I was just saying that overall it’s 25%. But, it’s only 5 players that make the difference from the league average of 25% to the 37.5% that we have now. 5 doesn’t constitute a bias of any kind, especially in such a limited sample size.
Theres a reason why the Mets have a LosMets.com
Because baseball is a popular sport in Latin America?
Ok im done arguing.
