Its wrong for us to call the wilpons cheap, they did get us Santana this time last year, and what a blast it was to watch him. from a business side though, i think signing manny will make the team that much more revenue, such that it would pay his salary and whatever lux tax. no figures to back that up, just a feeling here here.

No thanks. Just sign Dunn, dump Castillo and either put Murphy there or trade Delgado and put Murphy at first and sign Hudson or Wiggy. Guillen is another head case. No thanks.

I wish we can trade Castillo to KC for Guillen. He can play left field and plays good defense. Then if we could do the trade, I would sign O. Hudson. It would give us a nice balance lineup. 1. Reyes 2. Hudson 3. Wright 4. Beltran 5. Delgado 6. Guillen 7. Church 8. Schnieder/Castro That's not a bad lineup It’s obvious that we are not going to get Manny…. even though I would love him as our left fielder… but what are our options if we do not get him?

All of you who are just happy to have a "competitive" team should go root for Cincinnati. How many of you weren't upset when the Giants got send home early? Giants fans want Plaxico back after the guy shoots himself b/c they realize what they need to be a championship squad. My problem is that I don't want the Mets to be a "competitive" squad...I want them to annihilate the rest of the NL East. No, I'm not OK with just competing with the Marlins for a playoff spot. Oliver Perez and into lets go to Spring Training...wtf?? I wouldn't give any pitcher 14MM a season if there is a possibility that he may not make it through the 1ST INNING on any given night. We sayanora'd Glavine for that sh!^. These guys need to sign Manny to save face with the fans, point blank. period.
