    Re: 2007 New York Mets Discussion

    You guys choked plain and simple. It happens, you move on and hope you learned from your choke. I know the Giants haven't. Hope the Mets do better. I thought last years Carlos looking at 3 strike was bad.

      You forgot plus 55 million more a year. You actually want Reyes gone?

        No, I don't want Reyes gone, but to get something you have to give something. We need pitching. And trading three or four of your top players is suicide.

        You wouldn't make a Reyes for Santana and ARod deal?

          He's been gone since August...

          Sorry, that was just too easy.

            There are a lot of great quotes in this thread, but I think this one, from back on 9/16, stands out above them all....

              It was bad, but the team still had heart. Remember, last years team had to go into the playoffs without their number 1 and number 2 starters and almost got in. Maine didn't start until mid year and Perez was an August deadline pickup.

                Lindstrom(Funny he help put you guys away this weekend)
                Bannister(Might have been KC best pitcher this year)
                Chad Bradford

                What was he thinking when he extended Mota even after the guy flunked a Drug Test.

                You guys needed another starter & he chose not to get-1 during the trade deadline, claiming PEDRO is just as good as any pick-up he could've made. You guys could've got Linebrink from SD & he didn't pull the trigger.

                Peterson was horrible. Plain & Simple as a Pitching coach. IMO he's over-rated & not as gr-8 as people make him out to be. This guy should be shown the door ASAP. As well as Rickey Henderson. how this guy became a coach is beyond me.

                Ever since Reyes signed that contract extension, his play & attitude went down the drain. It's like he said F-that I got mine. Why Willie didn't move him out of that Leadoff spot, especially since Castillo was playing better than him during your free-fall is beyond me & for those MET Fans that said REYES is BETTER than Derek Jeter, need to have their head examine. The truth is he's not even the BEST SS in his league.

                The reality is you guys really didn't do anything to seperate yourselves from the competition during the OFF-SEASON & it came back to bite you guys in the butt
                Now, how can a Yankee fan talk? How many mistakes are masked by the Yankees because of their unlimited resources and funds? Igawa? Mussina? What, you think other teams can offer Clemens $25Million for half a year? Or tell a Philly team yea, we"ll take Abreau off your hands for the full amount and here's a handful of C prospects for your troubles.

                Come on.

                        I thought Santana was a free agent after this year?

                        I say we go grab the two Japs that are supposed to come over here this year. Screw the Mariners.

                          The Cubs have nothing to do with the Mets choking and haven't won a World Series in 100 years. Haven't even made the World Series since World War II.

                            Guess I should have waited longer to make that joke, sorry thought both sides could empathize and joke about it, but I'm gonna let cooler heads prevail and just walk away.
