We have a new ball park, and we have a team that could...go...all...the...way. Tonight we go for a home sweep, coming off a pretty successful road trip (5-5) to three tough towns: SF, LA, and Boston.

Gents, you know what it is going to take? It is going to take a serious injury to someone who should have been on the DL to bring this to light. Losing games by playing shorthanded obviously does not do it. So, if Jeffey gets hit in the pocketbook (like paying someone with an injury history $8 million to play 17 games at 41...oh wait, Omar actually did that), maybe then Jeffey will see the light. God forbid it happens to Reyes, Beltran, Wright, or gulp, Santana. But guys, with the way Omar handles things, can you rule it out? OK, another good Omar move...getting Cora. One more...getting Feliciano for nothing, he can get the lefty out in the middle/late innings. I work for a pharmaceutical company and our promotional efforts must be "fair and balanced". I'm trying to apply that here.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('148319','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('148319','Rich','Paul,\r\n\r\nI\'ll give you VP of the anti-Omar club, and that\'s my final offer, LOL.

The only thing I can says is that this is now geting absurd. I am sick of the Mets doing this, they do it all the time. Reyes, who makes his living with his legs, why the jerking aroud? Why did Delgado have to make two cross country flights with a bad hip, when everyone outside of the Mets organization knew just put him on the DL, now Church? Martinez? Not to mention it is a joke that this organization has NO shortstop ready at even the AA level to fill in and catch the ball for two weeks.

As for Sheff, again, what baseball instinct did that take? $400K and "see ya" if it does not work. I loved your comments on playing with 23 guys, it is refreshing to see that point acknowledged. This is just embarrassing now. You wrote it yesterday, if they DL'ed Reyes when the injury occurred, he would have healed (hopefully) and been ready this Friday. You know what is more scary? Jerry says he'd like to play Reyes at 85%. That's good. Let him go out there, favoring his calf, then tear a hammy. Then it is "bye bye Jose" until 2010. I think getting Putz for Heilman and Endy was a decent move (I'm trying Steve, I really am!!). But then again, when Putz walks, and you know he will not re-sign for the 8th inning, then what do we have? Yes, we dumped Heilman who needed a new start, so maybe that's ok. I will try to think of other decent Omar moves, as fairness is important. But, yes, I'm proud to be his biggest critic.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('148307','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('148307','Rich','Steve,\r\n\r\nThanks for the pub!
