Heaven forbid the Yankees lose tomorrow that just gives the Phillies more rest time.....

Phillies vs Yankees...talk about an offensive series.

The Poet · 10-22-2009, 12:29 PM

I just hope the Yanks can get it done in 5 or 6 - I want C.C. available for a possible 3 starts.

The Poet · 10-26-2009, 04:49 PM

McGuire as a hitting instructor? Would he bring his own steroids, or will his students need supply their own?

kelmac07 · 11-07-2009, 04:15 AM

Even smarter move...my Mets finally declined an option on someone...$9.1 mil on JJ Putz.

Honestly best thing for Mets fans is the Yankees winning the series. The Wilpons will want to get those fence sitting NY baseball fans back in their court, so a decent spending spree could plug a few of the holes.

Let's hope so!

Sox pick up Mark Teahen. Still don't know if Im happy or upset about getting him. His numbers were not great in the 2009 season. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseb...-sox07.article

Honestly, I don't see them going anywhere as long as they keep Minaya as the GM. He sucks. And I wonder how much the Mets would be able to spend anyways as the Wilpons lost a significant amount of money in the Madoff scheme.

Actually I think it was recently reported that they made money during that time and all the reports of them losing millions were false.

Jeff Wilpon came right out and said they lost a a whole lot of money but said they wouldn't let that effect team operations. So I don't think it it was false. How they react this off season should show how true that statement is as i'm sure they want to make some of that money back.

Some Red Sox moves:
Declined option's on Alex Gonzalez & Jason Varitek (he will probably use his $3M player option though).
Picked up option on Victor Martinez and signed Tim Wakefield for 2 more years.

I still can't believe Boston took A-Gon off our hands (Reds). What did they see in him?

He was still an improvement over Green for them.

A-Gon brings with him a horrible offense and a spotty defense. He can make some stellar plays, but he's very error prone too.

The main thing the Mets need to plug some holes is to get a few guys off IR.
