Manny would never play for us. Our ball park doesn't have a left field bathroom for him to hide in.

Cutting and pasting from my current Facebook status.

As of today I am no longer a Mets fan. This ownership group has lost its fanbase. Their own financial woes, have begun to effect their ability to sign their own superstars. They build a beautiful new stadium, and might as well have painted it Dodger blue. They lie to their fans saying they will do whatever they can to put a competitive team on the field. Starting right now, I will not step foot in Citi Field for a Met game until the Wilpons are no longer owners.

Good luck in your support of this utter joke of an ownership group. It makes me sad that the team I fell in love with as a kid has fallen this far.

Mac,

sadly I have to say when you come back up, I won't be going to Citi Field. I'm going to stand firm by this. I see no hope, at this rate they aren't 2-3 years from being competitive, its like 5-6, thats disgraceful for a team in the largest sports market in the world.

Very true...as much as I hate the Yankees...we'll catch a Yanks game.

Thank you Jose for making the Mets the 4th best team in the NL East and maybe even 5th best
Thank you Jose for the endless supply of hamstring jokes I got to tell
Thank you Jose for having your final moment in a Met uniform be leaving a game in the first inning after you bunted for a hit,
and showed more concern for your batting crown then the Met Fans who came to see you play

Dom...thank you for making me not type all of the above!!

And:
A Priest, a Rabbi, and a New York Met walk into a bar. The Priest says, "I'll have a shot of Glenlivet, please.". The Rabbi says, "and I'll have a glass of Mogen David Wine, please". The Mets player starts to order, but then falls off of the barstool, tears his ACL and dislocates his shoulder.

Didn't the Mets go through similar financial trouble in the 80's? they'll be back in full force in no time flat. We gotta believe!

You all do realize the Wilponzi's basically stole the team from Nelson Doubleday right?

More news for my dysfunctional Mets. Reyes signs with the Marlins, Terry Collins tells the press that Pagan is our new leadoff hitter, Sandy Alderson trades him to the Giants for Andres Torres (another aging veteran, 33 years old) and Ramon Martinez. WTF??? Are the GM and manager not talking at all?? No wonder the Mets are in such sad shape right now. We also sign Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco. I DO NOT like any of these deals. We are going to be the laughing stock of the NL East for sure now.

I would love to have Cody Ross...but no, we sign another "past their prime" veteran.

What am I missing with the Pagan trade? Is it purely a salary dump? Pagan doesn't make that much, does he? Definitely doesn't seem like we're getting the same talent back.

Reports are that he quit on the team in September.
Management and the front office felt he was faking injuries, most notably his dehydration issue.
I don't know what the #'s are, but can't imagine Pagan was making that much $.
He is a 4th outfielder at best, on a decent team.

Didn't realize that he quit in September. I think I quit on them in July or August, so I guess I missed it.

And yes on a decent team, he doesn't start. However on the Mets this year, he'd probably be #1 if Bay doesn't bounce back at some point.

Pagan is 30 and hit .262 with 7 HRs, 56 RBI, and 32 steals.
Torres is 33, hit .221 and had 4 HR, 19 RBI and 19 steals.

WTF did we gain from this trade????
