Fiya, no offense personally—we do need more, but if we had KRod’s performance as closer all year last year, don’t you think we would have, with everyone else doing EXACTLY the same thing, at least made the playoffs?

Reyes and Wright are just entering their prime….Church should be better as should Pelfrey…..Beltran should be the same….and if we can even slightly imrpove the rotation and have a healthy Maine, with KRod, the rest of the pen–even if it includes some of the same guys (and all signs point to improvements) will be less taxed and overworked.

All signs point to optimism!!

“Sorry if the word disturbing is too large or strong of a word for you. Perhaps you should go over to the Oprah blog and whine over there..”

Thanks Kingman. My point is we need a helluva lot more than K-Rod to be successful as evidenced by last year’s performance by this team. I admire your spunk but there are too many problems with this team to be optimistic right now.

With all the excitement, it’s easy to forget that Francisco Rodriguez can’t make the team significantly better. It’s not like Wagner had a crappy year last year. So while he might be younger and a an improvement, the Mets still need, a solid starter, realiable relief, and more runs late in the game.

Fiya Minaya, it is clearly YOU who belong on an Oprah-style blog for drama and nonsense….for you and Furioso and the li’l warrior above, this is a great day for the Mets. We got the best closer available, who is entering his prime, not at the end of it like Wagner, and Omar got him for half what we expected to spend overall, and without trading one player away…..

droman79 you are 100% right!

“Oh my god, what do people get about being negative all the time? It’s a baseball team, if cheering for a team makes you think a GM’s remarks are “disturbing”, it may be time to take a step back…”

Sorry if the word disturbing is too large or strong of a word for you. Perhaps you should go over to the Oprah blog and whine over there..

I’ll let you all know how excited this deal makes me when I see K-Rod getting outs in September and October.

Right now, spare me the drama. We still have two spots in the starting rotation to fill to even get the ball to K-Rod.

“Minaya has proven to be myopic and he’s shown he has no ability to multi-task. His statement about only searching for pitching is disturbing.”

Oh my god, what do people get about being negative all the time? It’s a baseball team, if cheering for a team makes you think a GM’s remarks are “disturbing”, it may be time to take a step back…
