I agree!!! Mets need some new blood in the front office.

JP is just hanging out at Baseball Tonight right now waiting for the right job to come along.

Watching it too.

Look at what he did the last few years with no payroll...imagine what he could do with some money in New York.

What I like about JP is he does not lok at the flashy stuff. He worries about OBP with his hitters and defense. Look at the 3 best teams in baseball the last few years. Yankees, Red Sox & Phillies. They all are great with OBP.

JP Ricciardi? Really? I think he did a terrible job in Toronto. He banged out one decent season winning season where they finished second, with a much expanded payroll than any of his predecessors. And this is the same guy who ripped on his fans for not wanting Adam Dunn, cause Dunn wasn't a gamer, and later totally mishandled Doc last year. He made a few decent free agent signings, but overall he was a flop in Toronto.

Mets should try to snare John Hart. Everywhere he goes he helps build a winning foundation.

If the Blue Jays were in the the AL Central or West they would have been in the race for a playoff spot. Having to play 56 games against the Yankees, Red Sox & Rays each year is not an easy feat.

But the Rays did it with a much smaller payroll and no big free agent signings. Maybe the Mets should try to tempt Andrew Friedman away from Tampa

Season is young still, be careful what you say.

Mets lose yet another one tonight...the rookie Mejia gave up a HR in the 10th.

Well, let's see how this makes you feel: The New York Daily News says the Mets are considering replacing Manuel with . . . are you ready for this? . . . Bobby Valentine.

Keep in mind, it's the Daily Gnus, and we've not only heard it before, but we've actually seen it before too.

kelmac07 · 04-16-2010, 04:04 PM

At least Bobby V proved he could WIN in New York...something Omar has yet to do.

MedicCook · 04-16-2010, 10:08 PM

I flipped the Mets game on just in time to see the Grand Slam by the Cardinals. Sorry Mac.
