This problem is way deeper than wilie, omar, luis, wags, concussions, rotator cuffs, etc. This team is owned by DUMB MONEY. They gave control of their $1 billion asset to a guy who puncuates his sentences with 'you know what ahm sayin' and who, in turn, handed the managerial job to someone who was 0 for 10 in job interviews for good reason - he wasn't smart enough or experienced enough for the job. Al Harazin. Steve Phillips. Mo Vaughan. Scott Kazmir. Louis Castillo. Jose Lima. Bonilla. Coleman. Saberhagen. New stadium right next to the old one - chop shops and LaGuardia issues for another 50 years. This is a BAD OWNERSHIP group and we will be coming here to piss and moan about this franchise for as long as the wilpons own this team. So - it may seem perverse - but blowing this thing AGAIN may be (I'm praying) the final straw for F. and J. Skill Sets - sell to Mark Cuban or some other smart money. Did I mention Dallas Green?

They gave control of their $1 billion asset to a guy who puncuates his sentences with ‘you know what ahm sayin’ and who, in turn, handed the managerial job to someone who was 0 for 10 in job interviews for good reason – he wasn’t smart enough or experienced enough for the job.

I agree with Gregg, they make me wish the season was just over. The only good thing will not be having to know the Skankees and/or Braves are in it. Yes, it sucks the Phils did it again with what I still feel is an inferior team. It's funny how a few months changes things. We started out with a predicted one of the best pens in the league and the phils one of the worst in recent history and now they have like the #2 pen in the NL and we're like last in the league.

I suspect that when the full shake-out is felt, NYC will be hurting. Big Time. This will take a lot of money out the Mets' coffers. And this is where the big contract for Santana might really hurt. The trade was fairly painless, but his contract might be too big a millstone on the Mets' backs as they seek to rebuild the pitching staff. My guess is that right now there'll be no big name pitchers coming to Flushing next year.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('113324','Eagle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('113324','Eagle','Here\'s a thought: the banking crisis might really hurt the Mets next year.

The Mets may or may not make the playoffs. They've definitely thrown a lifeline to a Brewers team that was just about to pack it in. We'll see what happens from today, but I sort of suspect the Mets will still squeak in. And, I'll watch the first round if they do, but how happy am I supposed to be with a team that really isn't near the class of the league.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('113323','Eagle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('113323','Eagle','You know what?
