A.k.a. How long until the Mets' get their first catastrophic, season-altering injury?
Where's Reyes gonna sign?
I honestly think Reyes is back. Aside from the $ (which I think the Mets pony up), and competition (a ton of teams could go after him hoping the Mets end up being cheap), he loves NY, and for whatever twisted reason he loves the Mets fans. His entire family (and I mean ENTIRE) lives on Long Island and I doubt he'd want to move away from them.
As long as the Mets don't low-ball him like scumbags, he'll be back.
knew i should open up this thread again. why must you do this nod
Come on man this is your team's third world series in eight seasons, and at worst they'll have won one.
really can't talk about this without sounding like a douche, but cmon you have to get how awful that made me feel. of course ive been lucky to have good teams and players to watch in my lifetime, and house money or whatever. but fuck is tomorrow night going to be painful. as a fan you have to get that

Yeah I totally get it. I was mostly kidding, just that it's so depressing when your favorite sports team in general (Brewers) gets so close for the first time in forever and doesn't quite make it, it's hard to feel bad for other teams. But yeah, if the Packers lost in the Super Bowl or something this year it'd be extremely depressing.

He's going to San Fransisco.
Haha, no chance. But Zack Wheeler for an injured Carlos Beltran will make me really happy in 2013 when Wheeler is 18-7 and an ace.
What's that? A NY team that isn't genuinely despised by the vast majority of American sports fans?
I can barley call the Mets a team. Pure awful organization. They need to start all over again. Trade Reyes for young prospects, trade Ike Davis for someone more stable, and work on the pitching.
I won't get into people hating the Yankees because we can run an organization extremely well and we have money. Sounds like a successful business to me.

Please stop. Your glorified ex-owner was a convicted felon. Check the arrogance at the door, friend.
The Mets are rebuilding, there's nothing wrong with that. In '06 they lost, the front office felt they were on the cusp of a championship and went all-in. Injuries and bad signings by Omar Minaya derailed that team.
You can't trade Reyes because he's a free agent. You can trade Wright (and there are rumors out there that the team is willing to trade him). Why trade Davis who is a 24 year old 1B power hitter with legitimate power (450 ft.-bomb power, not "330 ft. fly ball that is a "homer" because the Yanks play in a little league park" power)? Because they held him out of a meaningless season to prevent further injury?
BTW, since you're a fan of the classiest organization in sports, this was said by Lance Berkman last season:
""we have a great team. you can't discount the fact that our lineup and our team has a $250 million payroll. this is a very, very good team. it's a team that probably no other organization could put together because of what it costs.""
Interesting, right?
[insert rebuttal stating # of championships and "mets suck"]
Aaaaaaaand...we're done.

The Coupons are only guilty of being idiots, they didn't do anything illegal.
Are you aware of what Steinbrenner did to get arrested? One of the ultimate scumbags in the history of sports.
And, just an FYI, you will not find a single Mets fan who likes the owners, so bringing them up in a negative way isn't going to ever piss one of them off.
