The Mets just added Frenchy from Atlanta for Church. Just when you thought the Mets couldn't get any worse...

My first thoughts were, what the heck is Minaya thinking, Jeff Francoeur is a free swinging, strikeout heavy player. But after evaluating some numbers it might not be such a bad trade. We need a jump start and maybe this will help. Getting a new face in the locker room could help.
Francoeur has played

Here is my take on the trade. I like the pick up of Frenchy but not at the expense of Church. Personalities clashed with management but Church hustled when he played. It would have been great to have both one in each corner but that is the way it goes. The Mets get a guy who just may straighten out and become the force he was with the

After losing 8-0 and almost letting the next game slip away, the Mets held on. We are playing the Dodgers and they are pretty good. We could have folded the tents and gone home. I am not going to get involved with facts and figures this time, I am just happy we w

I am getting sick and tired of listening to WFAN and all the so called MET fan do is blame Omar for this. The team is broken, you cannot foresee massive injuries. The only fix is they come back healthy and win. Is this going to happen this year? I don't know but we are only 6 down in the loss column and anything can happen. No trade is going to make us right. The players we now have playing are be

I just checked out the Phillies stats and they have 4 guys with 20 or more homers already.
Raul Ibanz- 22
Ryan Howard- 21
Chase Utley- 20
Jason Werth- 20
We are

They should have played Gloria Gaynor's hit "I Will Survive" tonight. They held on, turning a DP on a terrific clutch hitter.
Tonight was overall pretty good. Let's take a look...

So Manuel has Fernando Tatis playing 1B tonight!?!?!
There is no greater Tatis lover out there than I, but I have to question why he isn't relegated solely to a pinch hitting role. His bat is inconsistent, he had DP-itis for awhile and he just isn't hitting.
Starting lineups for the time being

I know a lot of people are bashing on Minaya now. Some are certainly justified and some I think are either overstated or just plain short-sighted. One of the lightening rods from this off season was that we didn't sign Hudson - he went with Cora instead. Although most people thought (and still continue to think) that was a mistake, there were a few trumpeting bringing in a guy who could play both

How do we feel about getting Francoeur? Maybe the chance of scenery will help him live up to his potential I always hear about. I don't know if NY is the best place for that, but who knows. Church is 6 years older and hasn't been the same since the concussion.. so I don't mind that loss. This trade def doesn't look like it's going to help us this year and losing a left hand

I do not know about everyone else and I am sure you will agree, but I cannot watch our beloved Mets, as banged up as they may be, not show up to the ballpark and get blown out. At least try to score runs. They just look clueless out there. Someone besides Santana and KRod needs to pitch decent. Parnell was good until

As we know his name is on the market, and it also seems that the Blue Jays are in the market for a prospect in CF. Would you be willing to trade Fernando Martinez for him along with other major league players? Our team is built to win now and the more help we can get toda

The Mets year to date have walked 327 batters, which is behind only the Nationals and Indians, who are the two worst teams in baseball. The Mets have played 83 games, so we are averaging 3.93 walks per game. Issuin

The following is addressing the current GM of the Mets and my feelings about this team and his leadership. I am so utterly disgusted, I
need to say this and not have it in dribs and drabs over this terrific Mets site. It's obvious from my posts in virtually every thread, that I believe Omar must go if this team comes up short.
