For $ 3 million...I'll pitch the 6-7 innings. Still p*ssed off I didn't get my Spring Training Invite. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

If Perez and Castillo come north, Met fans should riot :2

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Perez continues to impress....NOT!!! 3 more innings pitched...3 more earned runs. David Wright is still hitless in Spring Training.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I just read that Beltran has left knee tendinitis from compensating for his right knee and will be out of the line up four or five days.....here we go again (already).

He even said after the game that he felt great and that he deserved another chance to start.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

This week's SI's Point After was about the Mets. Funniest line in the article, referred to them as the "New York Debts". :r

Ouch!!! :sl :sl

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I read an article out of the post where they were saying because of everything going on with the Wilpons that they might be better off having a fire sale. They even suggested trading Pelfrey to the Yankees. :td

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Pitching staff looked good today...Niese threw 4 2/3 innings of scoreless ball, Isringhausen even looked good. Offense was clicking. Wait...pinch me...it's still spring training. :D:D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

MLS thinks the Wilpons would be good owners for a new team in New York. I guess they don't read the papers.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Just saw on ESPN that Johan might miss the whole season. Something tells me that Mac won't be in a good mood today.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

That and the fact that we got rocked by the Braves 12-0 yesterday. :td :td

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

The Mets are on the hook for $77.5 million to Santana, and he may never win a game for them again. Think about that for a second. That makes lefty specialist Oliver Perez look like a bargain at $36 million down the drain.
This gut really ticked me off this morning. To compare Santana to Perez is an absolute joke. His whole article in the Post pretty much says that Santana's career is done. I realize he has had shoulder surgery and will prob be out for whole year, but how can you say he's done when he hasn't even started rehabbing yet. He brings up Wang's and Prior's name of people who haven't recovered from surgery, why not bring up the ones who have. Sorry, just ranting

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Oliver Perez pitches 2/3 of an inning...doesn't give up any runs and earns the win. :tu All that for $ 36 million?? :td

Chris Young continues to look good and David Wright is finally hitting the ball again. Ike Davis continues to be "en fuego".

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Mac, I read an article where Wright was saying that this spring he wanted to fall behind in the count to try to get netter at it. He was saying how he had problems with that last year so hopefully that is why his spring numbers are like that.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Yeah, Mets releas Castillo. One down one to go :noon

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

:tu :tu Now Perez!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Beltran gets cortisone shot and hasn't even takin the field yet. This guy has had no luck. I guess it could be worse for him, he could be getting sued for $1 Billion dollars

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I think Perez pitched his last game for the Mets

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

MLB.com reports that Mets are expected to release Oliver Perez. :tu :tu

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Fingers are crossed :noon

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

It's official...and about damn time!!

Divorce becomes final: Mets release Perez

:wo :wo :wo :wo :wo

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

And on another note...the Phillies have signed Luis Castillo to a minor league deal. Let me know how that works out for ya. :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

My guess is a 320 BA, 410 OB%, 35 steals :sh

:r :r :r :r

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Dom...you must be smoking crack!! :sl

And how many errors will he have?

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

you're right Mac.........20SB ;) :r

Castillio hated it here, I think he's a good ballplayer who will be motivated to perform.
The numbers I listed are unrealistic but 300, 375, 20 with 100 runs scored isn't out of the realm of possibility. :2

Castillio was the Mets best player in 09, and no one cared because he dropped a pop-up!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Best player on the Mets..... not sayin much :=:

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Heard it earlier today. First thing I thought of was this thread! :r Never liked the guy...but being a Met and Marlin, who would? :) We'll see how this plays out. Amaro said he'll either make the major league roster or be released. Wouldn't surprise me if it was the latter..

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Hardly the best player on the '09 team...David Wright held those honors. He had some good years and I believe he WAS a good ballplayer. He has lost his range, his wheels aren't what they used to be, nor is his bat, and I believe NY fans got in his head. He may perform better in a smaller market (not sure Philly is that market).

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

In 09 Wright had 10 HR and 74 Rbi and batted cleanup most of the year.......not sure how that qualifies him as the Mets best player ............ if it does, it says more about the Mets than I can ever post here :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Yes, his power #s weren't great...but he hit .307, had 27SBs, .950 fielding pct (not so great) and established himself as the Mets leader. He had a SOLID year. Better numbers than Castillo. True he batted clean-up...in a very soft hitting lineup. Most RBIs, next closest was Daniel Murphy with 63 and Beltran with 48. Come on man!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

:r:r

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

hahahaha.....also funny....and no Ollie this year?....Damn, there goes some good fodder....might have to "think" a bit in Mets chat....

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Jumping with joy. Already this year is off to a great start, can only go up from here. Mets are predicted to be bottom dwellers so maybe releasing some dead weight will o ly help them off the ground.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Hard to get off the ground when your season is below it :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Oooohhh that ain't right:sl

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

That is as wrong as two boys in bed!! :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Shouldn't this thread be in the Joke section. I am getting some good laughs out of it!!!!

Try all you want, today is a great day as a Met fan and more are coming our way :noon :D

Standard team issue?? They have been wearing them for a few years now!!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Manuel gone...check!!

Minaya gone...check!!

Castillo gone...check!!

Perez gone...check!!

Staying out of the NL East cellar...still to be determined. :D :D

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

All good things for you brother!!

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

I'd say this is a very nice start.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Vegas has the Mets season wins total pegged at Over/Under 77!
What do you think?

Jonumberone - under - 73

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

77? I say under. I'd be happy with 73. :D

I don't think the pitching staff can hold on to that many.

Re: New York Mets 2011 Banter
 

Easy money :D
