When Beltran was a free agent, every Met fan, including myself wanted him. Besides the injuries the last couple of years, he's been a decent player. You can't predict injuries and if he never got them and put up numbers that he usually did no one would be *****ing, including me. But for an owner to come out and say that about his players is completely wrong. Yes steinbrener did it but Wilpon is no steinbrener. If he saw something wrong, he went out and fixed it. He didn't care what the cost was, he's in new York and wld put out a competitive team. Do us all a favor Fred and SELL THE TEAM...., sorry for rant....
Good rant, if he had spent what he lost in the Madoff thing, on the team,
he would be filling seats and be a brand like the Bombers, maybe even a TV service of his own. But he was greedy and neglectfull, now he`s crying about his signings, there`s no crying in Baseball.

Well, here's perhaps a bigger difference between the two leagues than the DH one. In the AL it is considered a quality start if the pitcher gives you 6 good innings before the game is put into the hands of the bullpen. In the NL they seem to expect more innings out of the starter . . . which may work just fine within the league, what with the normally lighter hitting, but can bite you during interleague play.


Of course, to have success by turning games over to the bullpen to close, one first need have a bullpen.

Agreed... George went out and got things done when things got bad. He let the players know if they didn't perform he would go out and get someone that can. Wilpon is going to use Beltrans contract as an excuse not to sign any big time players to any long term deals. The ship is sinking fast but yet he's so bullheaded he won't jump.

Let us not forget that when George was making the calls the yankees were a Joke. I have no idea why people forget that the "core four" as you have all labeled them were Gene Michael picks. The 2 men that built the yankees dynasty of the 90s were Gene and Buck, not the two who always get the credit, George and Joe.

As for the Mets,the Wilpons are an utter joke. I'm tempted to just give up on the mets until these utter farce of an ownership team is forced to sell them.

Another loss, R.A. Dickey is hurt (heel) and Mets agree to sell part of team for $200 million. All around bad day.

Looks like David Einhorn will only be fronting the money...not taking an active part in the team operations. Leaving the Wilpons to sink the ship.
