Comments for The Mets Report http://metsreport.com New York Mets News, Opinions, and Hope for a World Series Victory Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:01:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Comment on Mets 1986 Shadow by John Wenk http://metsreport.com/mets-1986-shadow/comment-page-1/#comment-3528 John Wenk Thu, 29 Jul 2010 22:01:30 +0000 http://metsreport.com/?p=10189#comment-3528 I love this. 2 prominent Mets getting there jock straps caught up in a bunch about Strawberry's comments should not go over well. Respect the men who came before you, check your ego at the door, and play hard. Prove Straw wrong and play as if your not "just going through the motions." Don't go crying to Jay Horwitz. IMHO, this team and organization deserves all of the harsh critiques that are shot their way. Its noticeable when the team looks dead in the water and the voices of the '86 team are sounding off and voicing their opinion. The Mets should try to emulate that team, even though its impossible to replicate that swagger and attitude. Play aggressive, play smart, go up to the plate knowing your going to get a hit, challenge hitters on the mound, get the uniform dirty, don't take crap from the opposition. Play winning baseball, and expect to win. I wonder what HoJo thinks of these "rants."

He is a 5 tool player. I don't think anyone could have predicted Ike Davis! The Mets need some big changes if they expect to make anything of this season. I think they should be dumping payroll to prepare for the off-season. They won't make the playoffs this year. Also Omar, Jerry and the rest need to be replaced ASAP!

Just need to convince the Mariner's front office. I would think that the M's will give Figgins one more season to turn it around. That's a major drop off from the season prior. That's a Roberto Alomar drop off! Sign me up. Just need to convince the Mariner’s front office. I would think that the M’s will give Figgins one more season to turn it around.

I could care less if they fire Jerry. I'm still bitter that they fired Willie. HoJo is your man as hitting coach IF you want an undisciplined approach at the plate. I'm surprised this team hasn't been no-no'ed this season. Tony Bernazard as the interim manager.

I just have a hard time believing Seattle would be that eager to get rid of a guy who for the most part has been looked at as a good guy.

The Mariners are planning to not resign Jose Lopez and that would open a hole at 3B in 2011 and the tentative plan would be for Figgins to be moved there because the Mariners don't really have any standout third basemen in the minors. I like that Perez idea because the Mariners really need a solid #2 or #3 starter with the departure of Cliff Lee. Don't know if the Mariners want to take on another bad contract after the Bradley experience. How about this one? Milton Bradley and a PTBNL or cash for Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo? Great Article!

But trouble seems to follow him everywhere. I keep hoping that he’ll get his life on track and really become part of the Mets organization again. But trouble seems to follow him everywhere.
