Wow, a complete joke, they will have to cut prices 50% to sell tickets, Dan Warthen kept his job, that is unbelieavable and o major coaching changes and Razor Shines kept his job, Hojo I could see though I love him and is one of my favorite Mets he is jutsified in being let go too, but I am glad he stayed. But this is simply unreal, I am befuddled to say the least. Unreal. So same coaches and probably about the same team, we will be lucky to win 80- games next year and Citi Field will be empty. Good lukc ticket office, you guys will have the toughest job around. I can’t wait to get my call from minayi begging me to keep my tickets so I cna laugh in his face.

The only counterargument to that (and it is admittedly a weak one) is that Holliday’s agent is $cott Bora$ and he knows that Red Sox, Yankees and Mets are all in need of a LFer. He must be salivating at the prospects of playing each team off one another – with the Cards to boot.

Now, Holliday seems to be less of a head case than A-Rod, so I’m sure he could just say to Bora$ that he wants to stay with the Cards and that’s that. But I’m sure Bora$ will use the other 3 big money teams to drive up the price – perhaps to the point were the Cards balk.

At any rate, I’m bracing myself for Mets FO to start cranking up the Pagan Hype Machine (PHM) around Nov 2nd…maybe even sooner.

Un-****ing-believable. Not 24 hours after finally being relieved of the stress of that awful season, we kick off the offseason by infuriating the fans.

How…….HOW can this team continue to bring back the regime that engineered the biggest collapse in baseball history. The house should have been cleared 2 years ago, and here it is, given YET ANOTHER oppurtunity to waste the time we have with 2 of the best young players in the game, and the prime of the premiere center fielder in baseball.

The desire to stop rooting for this team has never been stronger than it is at this moment.

Thank god they got rid of luis alicea….there’s no way this team could’ve won a championship with HIM at 1b coach. /sarcasm>

I just….I hate this front office so much.

Alomar deserved to be dismissed simply because he is an Alomar…….

No Alomar’s should come within 100 feet of Citi Field and we had 2 this past year.

In some sick way, I kind of want the Marlins to hire Bobby V and for the Marlins to win the NL East next year, just to spite the Wilpons.

This is money driven plain and simple. Look for an off-season on the cheap. No major signings, no overslot, no trades that will increase salary. Look for a lot of injury excuses. Almost like a holding pattern for new ownership.

that’s the buzz here in St Louis. I’d put it at 90%. Holliday loves it here, he grew up only 4 hrs away (in Midwest terms that is next door) in old school Cards territory, the Cards love him, the city loves him, more importantly Puljols loves him and appears to be willing to walk if the Cards make no attempt and the acarss announced they would make a long term serious money offer.

I guess they didn’t say Shines would be the 3rd base coach, but still…..
