Mon, 22 Sep 2008 21:55:44 +0000 http://www.kranepoolsociety.com/?p=694#comment-113235 The other problem with making the playoffs is that it would make the season look like a success for ofirmative minaya. We need the mets to miss the playoffs if we are to get rid of minaya. The skill sets are eating more dead payroll (randolph, wagner, art howe?, mo vaughan? bonilla still getting paid?) than KC pays their current roster, so they will probably let The Second Worst Mets GM in History (steve phillips has a lock on #1) come back for 2009, even if (WHEN) there's another implosion and choke. Insert your omar defense points here and I'll counter with LOOK AT THE PAYROLL AND LOOK AT THE RESULTS!!! Don't tell me about the farm. Johnny Murphy and Frank Cashen had a farm.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('113235','what\'s the point?'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('113235','what\'s the point?','The other problem with making the playoffs is that it would make the season look like a success for ofirmative minaya.\r\n\r\nWe need the mets to miss the playoffs if we are to get rid of minaya.

Don’t tell me about the farm. Johnny Murphy and Frank Cashen had a farm.

Righties are hitting like .682 and .974 against them respectively (well it seems like it!!!) You get the point. Anyone remember baseball when you didn't have "specialists" and you just put your best guys out there whether they were righty or lefty? Why do people have to fuck up the sport with all these bullshit ideas? How come there were less injuries to pitchers before anyone cared about pitch counts? Now God forbid someone throws over 100 pitchs a game! How is it that these skinny guys from the 20's, 30's, 40's, etc etc could pitch 300 innings a year but these big strong pitchers of today have their arms fall off after 175 innings and don't tell me because they didnt' throw as hard back then!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('113188','Frank from Jersey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('113188','Frank from Jersey','I have to add to what Rich said...Neither Blowenweiss nor Feliciano should be facing righties...EVER!!

But, if the Mets somehow make the playoffs, we all know the bullpen is going to make us want to vomit as they blow playoff game after playoff game to real teams. If they can't hold leads to the dregs, what makes us think they can hold a 2 run lead in the 6th inning against the Cubs or Phllies or whoever?? It's probably better we don't get all excited about playoffs and heartbreak. Let the Mets die quietly yet again so we can finally concentrate on football. I'd rather not see the Mets bullpen blow leads every game in the playoffs.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('113186','Frank from Jersey'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('113186','Frank from Jersey','I know as a long time baseball fan that making the playoffs is the ultimate goal of your team, in this case, our team, the Mets.

Did you see Gonzalez gesture toward the Mets dugout after the game? Losing to that time and having the rub it in our face, that's too much. Blame the pen all you want, but we know they suck going in. The offense is to blame today. First and second, no outs, twice, no runs. They got what they deserve.
