It's gonna be a sad, sad season.

kelmac07 · 02-08-2012, 07:36 AM

This has got to be the most uneventful off-season in Mets history. Nothing to talk about.

I wonder if the Spanks will make a play for Wright? I'd hate to see him go, but imagine this: move A-Rod to DH and give Wright a chance at a ring while he's still a decent player.

Hmmmm. I'm not sure about Wright, as he's not seemed to live up to his early potential. I'm not sure he's a meaningful upgrade at third, since A-Rod's far from a stiff there, and I am sure he's not necessarily an upgrade at the plate, as he's "slipped" nearly as badly as has A-Rod . . . and from a lesser height. And I'm pretty sure A-Rod's ego would not let him agree peacefully to being "demoted" to DH, and Girardi doesn't need problems like that in the clubhouse. Still, it's an interesting thought.

it was just a thought. I have faith that Wright isn't done. Remember, he had major back problems last season. Who really knows how long those problems have been around? I think, if healthy, he'll have a good season. I'm just afraid he's going to get so frustrated with the team that he backs off on how hard he plays so that he doesn't get injured.

My wife pretty much said the same thing.....

kelmac07 · 02-15-2012, 06:46 PM

From MLB.com today..."Mets believe they have pieces to compete."

Really?? For what?? The 2013 Draft? They are more delusional than I thought.

kelmac07 · 02-16-2012, 09:04 PM

R.I.P. Gary Carter

Dave128 · 02-17-2012, 09:01 AM

He was, and still is, one of my favorite players.

R.I.P Kid

mase · 02-17-2012, 09:05 AM

He just loved playing the game. He was fun to watch as a kid.

kelmac07 · 02-18-2012, 01:54 PM

Johan Santana threw 25 pitches from the mound a few days ago. I don't believe he will ever be the same and the Mets still owe him a ton of money. Sound familiar???

Dave128 · 02-20-2012, 02:57 PM

He'll never pitch the same. I guess you never know.

kelmac07 · 02-21-2012, 12:29 PM

Odds are 55-1 that my Mets will win the 2012 World Series.

Reports are saying that Santana might be ready for opening day.

I think that is just Collins being optimistic.
