    Re: 2008 New York Mets Discussion

    btw- I like the fact that Wright seems to be "stepping up" in the leadership role -- came out and basically said that LoDucca deserves what he gets (as far as punishment) no matter if they were close friends

      I'm down for this!
      Let's make it happen.
      I would think in order to sit together.....mid week day game?(do they even have any anymore?)
      Maybe we could even get the O.S. Crew up(just text...they wouldn't put any of your mugs on their...maybe mine on the scoreboard!

        I think it would be too difficult to coordinate a weekday game.

        Plus on the weekend we could even probably tailgate.

            @ Sportsforever

            I'll say this...Willie's job is more than reasonably secure. Yes, we all know that the team should come out fairly strong to keep his name and Mr. Minaya's name out of the papers in a negative light. But truthfully, what you have going on here in NYC is a DARK side with some of the media, many fans (or as they should be called; "so-called fans") and know-nothing radio hosts. Not all, but too many. ALL of the above have 'agendas'...it's as clear as day, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. You had *******s in the beginning of selection process tallking about "he was a Yankee", "ex-Yankees are not suppposed to manage the Mets", "there was a reason why he wasn't hired" (which was racially motivated), etc.

            You had some straight-up BIGOTS spewing their venom daily about the Latin players...yes, I said it. Being part Latino myself, there were more than a few necks I wanted to wring. To those haters, guys like Keith Miller, Joe McEwing and God know who else are looked at as 'great; players...it's sickening.

            This man has done a very good job in his tenure here. Talking about the Mets collapse, the sooner the ill and un-informed understand that REAL baseball is NOT a video game, the better they'll be. Some whine about, "he (Randolph) didn't get the players to play hard", "why doesn't he get in their faces?", etc.

            HELLO...wake up!!!!

            First of all, what is so hard to understand that MOST of what a manager does regarding communicating with his players, is done AWAY from the camera?

            The NUMBER ONE problem down the stretch with the Mets was the TOTAL collapse of the Mets' pitching...period. When your offense averages SEVEN runs a game and your starters and bullpen cannot hold the lead (as in give up EIGHT or more), take your crying and finger pointing elsewhere. THAT was the problem. Wanna talk Heilman? Joe Smith? DO I dare say Glavine?

            I swear, I would love to see sports radio DIE. I would love to see baseball no longer covered on the internet...let's bring it back to how it used to be....then you'd be forced to love the game for what it is...and not pile on, repeat what you hear and spout half truths, lies and hatred because you may have an agenda.

            Sportsforever, you know I'm going to tell it straight. And what I'm writing here are the dynamics with the Mets, real fans, the phony fans and those knuckleheads with biases.

I mean, if the team comes out and picks up where it left off last year and starts 3-10 or something, does he get fired? I don't think you can blame solely him for their debacle last year, but it is rare to see a manager retained after finishing like that, especially in NY.

              I've heard this ALL last season from fans..the SAME fans that did not make issue when Ring, Bannister, Nady and a few others were sent elsewhere. He didn't let them 'slip', he made business decisions that (in some cases), now look bad...but at the time, they were not viewd by anyone as horrific.

                  exactly....many of those that claim they don't like Minaya or that 'he hadn't done anything' (which is patently silly) have issues that far exceed baseball. To those detractors, I'll ask you: guess you want Steve Phillips and Art Howe and/or Bobby Valentine back too, huh?

                    OK, Mr. doom and gloom....

                    where did you hear that from?

                    I think you need to know that is patently FALSE

                      it was reported on the FAN last year...


                      Also, I am not always "doom and gloom", but having Willie hang out there for a couple of days after the season ended before saying he was coming back, should be a good clue that he's not "safe" by any means... He's probably not on the proverbial "hot seat", but I do think his buns are warming up..

                        I knew you were gonna say that...it was absolutely not true. That's why when I want to hear baseball...by people who KNOW baseball...and not folks who know the NFL, The New Jersey Nets, tennis, boxing, schmoozing or classic oldies, I listen to the HOME PLATE channel (XM 175). ALL of the host on the station, are in the game.

                        The number one problem with the Fan is you have the SAME callers calling every day/night, saying the SAME stupid stuff. Then you have the SAME host each day, ALLOWING callers to get away with false and/or misdirected info...and you know what's so damning about that? The NEVER stop them when they say something that's wrong or inaccurate. They ALL allow the madness to go on and on and on and on...

                          Re: LoDuca @ Pared

                          he either had or is in the midst of a knee operation as I type this..here in Manhattan. He has a torn meniscus in his knee and will be out for about 6 weeks.

                            oh I know what you are saying Carew... but if I remember, this was reported by one of the beat writers for the team, not some yahoo caller...

                            Yes - Home Plate is the best!

                                I agree on the home plate channel on 175. I listened to that every morning during our boys' collapse.
