i’m an a-hole..i can’t read..lol
thats funny, either my first post never posted, or my first post was deleted by a funny moderator, when I had misread one of the sentences and was questioning what it said..now it looks like I just said I can’t read….
I guess thats humorous :)
I’ve read your posts and tend to agree with you. :)
Slow news day? I can’t wait for pitchers’ and cathchers’ to report! One more week folks!
ME TOO!! I can’t wait to see the faces of Gary, Keith and Ron!!
I like Kevin and all.. but would it be possible to get a hot girl in there instead of Kevin?
Bring on the eye candy!
Julie Alexandria is a big Mets fan. Is she still around?
nothing is more annoying than these women interviewers who couldnt tell a football from a baseball who ask the same stupid questions like “How do you feel about hitting that game winning homerun?”
if I wanna check out some hot girls i’ll go up a few channels…
Speaking of Ron, and eye candy…was seated near him at the Knicks game last night, and if the girl he was with was his wife…
Nice work, Ronnie.
Imagine Difelice turns out to be an awesome manager, makes it to the majors and dominates. They say guys who weren’t that good as players sometimes turn out to be awesome managers/coaches.
well Jerry Manuel might have been the worst player ever…
I posted this in the comments section on here in another thread yesterday or the day before.
Here’s the complete list of Mets minor league managers for the 2009 season:
Buffalo (AAA): Ken Oberkfell
Binghamton (AA): Mako Oliveras
St. Lucie (Hi-A): Tim Teufel
Savannah (Lo-A): Edgar Alfonzo
Brooklyn (short season): Pedro Lopez
Kingsport (rookie): Mike DiFelice
Gulf Coast League (rookie): Julio Franco
julio franco? is he a manager? didnt know that…
He is now. :)
Is he the “chosen one”?
Yep. They chose him to manage the GCL team.
I am surprised after all the bad stuff Julio spewed out about the Mets after he got cut and went to the Braves.
Congrats to Edgar on his promotion to full-season.
Thanks for posting this…Tim Teufel is our future Walter Alston….
da ham shame wally backman aint on that list
ala anti- ted williams
News on the AP
“NEW YORK (AP)—Reliever Pedro Feliciano and the New York Mets agreed Friday to a one-year contract worth $1,612,500 and avoided salary arbitration.
The 32-year-old left-hander was 3-4 with a 4.05 ERA and two saves in 86 relief appearances last season. After earning $1.04 million last year, he had asked $1.95 million in arbitration and had been offered $1.35 million.”
how about signing abreu one yr 8.5 mil….trade church, tatis and niese for jermaine dye…..
reyes
beltran
wright
dye
delgado
abreu
pudge
SP
castillo
nasty lineup
i guess when omar said no more major moves, you took that as signing bobby abreu trading for jermane dye and signing pudge……….lol some met fans man….
If Americans accepted everything that was told to them at face value we’d still be a colony. Ny’ers especially don’t like to accept what doesn’t sit right with us. Where are you from?
NEVERMIND!! SHUT UP YOU COMMIE SLUDGE!!
SIGN MANNY!!!
CLIP MANNY COUPONS NOW!!
SAVE MONEY!!
How did that dozen man march work out thursday?
What is wrong with you man? I mean child…
I’ve got a fever, and the only remedy…is more MANNY!!
Well, as an amatuer doctor, may I suggest that you lay off the “Commie sludge” remarks?
Not a good way to win friends and influence people.
We are all Met fans, after all.
Funny.
Trade Tatis who was just a free agent? Besides the fact that they could have signed him themselves if they wanted to… he can’t be traded until midseason since he was a FA.
Hilarious.
whoever thinks pudge does not become mets catcher prior to opening day is nuts
Well call me Mr. Peanut i have the top hat and monacle all ready to go.
we can’t afford pudge
Mike is a longtime friend of mine – he is a true athlete and should be a great manager for you guys. Best of luck.
i am messing around….(though i do see us inviting pudge) and signing him to about 1.5/year with chance to earn more…i was definitely (and still would want to be) an avid manny supporter….but it seems like that’s a pipe dream at this point….i would really settle for pedro to come back….he is still the man
we don’t have 1.5 mil + whatever it costs to get rid of Castro/Schneder to spend
In a whining Andy Rooney voice;
“Is it just me or does this new 2009 NY Mets team look an awful lot like the hairball 2008 squad?
Golly, I’d just like to see some grit and clutch where there was choke and knee buckling.
Well at least they didnt call it the Art Shamsky Rotunda…”
LOL nice. I totally could hear that voice in my head as read that
its ok guys Murphy/Tatis will combine to hit .280 20 HR 80 RBI
Pelfrey, Ollie and Maine are all going to win 15 games and pitch to an ERA under 4.
furthermore Wright and Reyes will finally learn how to hit in the clutch and Church and Castillo will stay healthy
I don’t see why anyone can be skeptical about this season…
I think Murphy is going to have a solid season and Pelfrey will emerge as a top-of-the-rotation type pitcher.
Luis Castillo slap grounders to shortstop …..
Dude – don’t you remember Julie Donaldson
a couple of years back. She was absolutely
beautiful and her interviews weren’t bad either.
I sure remember Julie D, and as a Net fan I miss her on their games too….I also remember Jose enjoying pouring champagne over her head (and blouse) in the postgame celebration after winning the division in 2006.
She was indeed excellent to listen to AND to look at.
Rusty Jr. had some good thoughts on that too…..
STEEEEEEEEEROIDS, STEEEEEEEROIDS. The first game against the yankees is gonna be fun.
A-ROOOOOID, A-ROOOOOID
A-Roid did roids in 2003 SI is reporting
Very happy that Mike will be in another role with the Mets other than catching. Happy he has a gig but watching him catch for the Mets was brutal. He had a long but non distinguished career
A ROID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the greatest news of the offseason!!!!!!!!
WOOOO
my prediction for the rotation this year is
johan – 23 wins
pelf – 17 wins
ollie – 14 wins
maine – 15 wins
niese/garcia – 11 wins
i think pelf is gunna be a beast, ollie will be like his usually is….but a little better than last year, just cause hes older and has a new pitching coach for a full season (he was much better when they fired peterson), maine is gunna have a bounce back year (he was injured for almost all of last year and imo played through most of it)….niese/garcia is gunna be the 5 spot and are gunna be decent….redding to the pen
Someone needs to trademark “A-Roid” and make a dime for all the shirts they’ll be selling outside of Fenway this year.
