		<description>Stork, your flippancy regarding your republican vote is exactly the kind of worrying attitude that will get yet another republican term. He&#039;s a war hero, great, good on him, thats all that matters right? The fact that he&#039;s &quot;old crank man&quot; is only one reason not to vote. He cops a heart attack and the &quot;crackpot narcissist&quot; is in the hot seat! Well done you! David Wright&#039;s comments i find alarming, and disconserting, but thats ok cos &quot;he&#039;s from Virginia, so what should we expect&quot;? Only &quot;fooled by the color of skin&quot;, regarding Obama? Frightening! Yep i know you didn&#039;t want a political conversation on here but views have been aired and yours are just as alarming as D-Wrights and i find them.....Disgusting!

Back to original question from Steve, I hope the Rays and Kazmir do well, i have no bad feeling towards Kazmir and see no reason to, we let him go! The call for Wheeler as a reliever gets my vote too. Good luck to them but i think the Beantowners will do it again.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;115450&#039;,&#039;Mazoola&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;115450&#039;,&#039;Mazoola&#039;,&#039;Stork, your flippancy regarding your republican vote is exactly the kind of worrying attitude that will get yet another republican term.

		<description>Kranepool - why do I have to calm down?

Perhaps you should take into consideration that some Met fans don&#039;t find the comparison of the team to &#039;gangstas&#039; cute or fun in any way. It really is revolting. 

I didn&#039;t see people all that calm after Don Imus used a term straight out of (sorry, &#039;outta&#039;) &#039;gangsta&#039; lexicon.

Re politics - not really interested in discussing it here. I&#039;m just saying that calling out D Wright for casting his vote for a war hero while letting smarmy, creepy Jerry Manuel have a free pass on his revolting &#039;gangsta&#039; schtick is hypocritical. 

I will say that sarah palin is a complete fucking fraud but old crank man gets my vote anyway. anyone who names their children &#039;piper&#039; and &#039;track&#039; is a fucking crackpot and a narcissist.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;115346&#039;,&#039;Stork&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;115346&#039;,&#039;Stork&#039;,&#039;Kranepool - why do I have to calm down?\r\n\r\nPerhaps you should take into consideration that some Met fans don\&#039;t find the comparison of the team to \&#039;gangstas\&#039; cute or fun in any way.

		<description>There is no excuse for him supporting McCain, but Wright is a great player.

Didn&#039;t the Mets come in 2nd in runs scored in the NL this year?

No way we dangle Wright or Reyes.

With Wagner around the last two months, we would certainly have gotten the extra win that we needed to make the play-offs.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;115205&#039;,&#039;David in Manhattan&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;115205&#039;,&#039;David in Manhattan&#039;,&#039;There is no excuse for him supporting McCain, but Wright is a great player.\r\n\r\nDidn\&#039;t the Mets come in 2nd in runs scored in the NL this year?\r\n\r\nNo way we dangle Wright or Reyes.\r\n\r\nWith Wagner around the last two months, we would certainly have gotten the extra win that we needed to make the play-offs.&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Quote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

		<description>Excellent point by Rich, why did Wright, Reyes, Beltran, and Delgado play in so many games??? He&#039;s exactly right in saying that SNY talked about this like it was something to be celebrated.

If you saw Reyes those last two weeks he had trouble going after balls hit in the hole.
Both he and Wright looked completly gassed going into the last few weeks of the seasons.

I don&#039;t see the point in blaming Wright, Reyes, or Beltran. they were the 3 of the best players in the National league this year.

The real problem was the the bullpen and the last 2/5 ths of the rotatation.

*28 times the Mets were tied or had a lead after the 6th inning and LOST the game.

*Also, it was a badly assembled bullpen consisting of lefty righty specialists ill-suited to relieve more than one or two batters at a time.

* I know bashing a bullpen is cliche and over-used but this time is was warranted.

Omar had to do more for this Bullpen than just getting Luis Ayala off of the Nationals scrap heap.

*WXRL is an excellent baseball prospectus metric that measueres the effectiveness of relief pitchers. This year the Mets didn&#039;t even have ONE pitcher ranked among the top 50 relief pitchers!! The highest rated Met relief pitcher was Duaner Sanchez at 54th place. Joe Smith finished at 66th place and Billy Wagner ranked 74th. 

*Also, How does Pedro Martinez get off the hook?? This guy was terrible this year. 43 million dollars for one good year??? Spare me all the B.S. about him bringing back the franchise.

To me the Mets are the 1990&#039;s Mariners all over again. 4 Star players, 1 Star pitcher, medicore supporting players, medicore pitching staff, no bullpen.

I would like the Mets to sign Dan Wheeler, set up man for the Tampa Bay Rays in the off-season.&lt;div class=&quot;comment-remix-meta&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;replyto&quot; onclick=&quot;replyto(&#039;115156&#039;,&#039;John Q&#039;); return false;&quot;&gt;Reply&lt;/a&gt;  - &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;quote&quot; onclick=&quot;quote(&#039;115156&#039;,&#039;John Q&#039;,&#039;Excellent point by Rich, why did Wright, Reyes, Beltran, and Delgado play in so many games???
