You guys are right I am too tough on Beltran. I'm realy not anti-Beltran and I do think he is the best CF'er in baseball but if this team does not make the psot season there has tobe a good hard look at which way to go here. I'm not advocating trading Beltran but Omar would not be doing his job if he didn't listen to offers or even let it out there that he could be had. The reason I'm not on the Fire Omar badwagon is I see the fruits of the Farm and I think there is plenty of promise there and that is in Omar's favor. Add in find Tatits, Easley, Chavez, Cancel all players who have contributed big on this team and again you have togive Omar credit. He's not a perfect GM but I'd rather have him than most guys running teams in MLB<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('112615','kranepool'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('112615','kranepool','You know what?

Why isn’t there more discussion regarding the firing of omar minaya here? don’t give me that beltran/santana crap. he only got them because the yankees and bosox passed.

next year, we get a new stadium still under laguardia planes, still a pain in the ass to get to, still surrounded by chop shops.

the meltdown of this team started the day wilpon bought out doubleday. too bad d-day didn’t buy out wilpon.

but he didn’t – which leads to my final point: the mets are jeffy wilpon’s toy for the rest of his adult life. to be a mets fan is to accept 30 more years of this crap.

can’t wait for the signing of mo vaughan as the ‘09 manager w bobby bonilla and rickey henderson as attitude coaches for jose “the season is april through august, si?” reyes.

That's exactly right. I get a sick feeling about 6:30 every night now, because I know how I'll feel at 10. This is unbelievable. It is freaky, it is spooky. They look EXACTLY like last September, against this same team. And you know what? It'll come down to the last weekend, and the Marlins will smack them around, while the Nats lay down like dogs against the Phillies. Last year, we thought wow, that was horrible.

I wonder when Omar will sign Steve Carlton as a spot starter.
