Didn’t see any of the game so I cant comment on what happened on the field.
I know 4d was in the dugout holding it down as usual I just hope you had some company at some pint cause your usual company of ceetar was prob recovering with a hangover after his bachelor party.
Hey Ceet if your a$$ hurts and you don’t know why? Don’t worry it was prob a reenactment of a Jim Carey scene in “Me, Myself & Irene”.
Charlie Baileygates: I turn my back for one moment then you stick it up my a**. Literally!
Irene P. Waters: For your information, you stuck it in your own a**!

Something Jerry said during today’s post game is what keeps me concerned of expecting Dickey to repeat this seasons numbers again in 2011. He said
“I think this is the 3rd time that he’s (Dickey) faced them as well so it’s… for a veteran team and your coming around about you know a few times. It can be a little tough on you especially if you just got the ugh, the one pitch has to really be devastating for you that particular day.”
That is a concern for me until I see Dickey repeat his 2010 season in 2011. As teams see him more can Dickey continue to fool them as well as he has so far in 2010?

not a bad game to miss entirely.
as to Dickey, given how short of options they probably are, and how cheap he will be, I still want to do arbitration with him. Pass on the multi year deal (at least til mid season) is fine. if you look around at the back end starters in the league, it is a pretty trashy group overall.
Mr North Jersey

Agreed on arbitration.

also noticed that Wrights numbers are really tailing off. OBP of .357? very sad (and probably career low) by his standards. heck, that is roughly what Reyes did for the last 5 years (before this one), and only .01 above Ike (.347) and below Thole. And his slugging % is not off setting it.
but, at least Beltran finally broke the .700 OPS barrier.

Spin the wheel and see who will be the GM in 2011.
Omar Minaya?
John Ricco?
Kevin Towers?
John Daniels?
Pat Gillick?
Jack Zduriencik?
Josh Byrnes?
Ron Schueler?
John Hart?
Andrew Friedman?
None of the above?

maybe Jeffy will step out from behind the curtain, and take over the job formally.
hey, if he really is the puppet master, and thinks he is qualified, let him put his ass on the line for real, and deal with the slings and arrows.

FYI I accidentally copied Schueler’s name rather than Rick Hahn.

but seriously, I have no clue. But i do think who they pick will send a large message to the world about how this team will be run ongoing.
I also wonder if Fred (and other members of the leadership, like Katz) read the papers and see this kind of stuff. And if they do, what does he think about it?

The Mets want to impress the shit out of me this is what I want to see them do.
Find out if their is any way they can even talk to the Ray’s Andrew Friedman. Find out what it would take for him to consider coming to NY. Hopefully Friedman will say Jeffy Wilpon has to step aside and no longer be the point man on decisions. Wilpon Sr will grab Wilpon jr by the ears and tells him to agree.
Then someone wipes the drool of my face as I am clearly in LaLa Land and quietly puts me in a corner. LoL

well, this is probably like “negotiating” with your girlfriend before you get married. You can promise anything, but once you are stuck with each other, the deal may just change!
I would guess that Jeffy reads the press, and even if he is so delusional he thinks the problem is too little jeff, not too much, he has to realize there is some kind of fundamental problem.
the huge question of course, is what he decides to do about it, especially if some of the big names, when interviewed, tell him the same thing?
either he doubles down on himself, or realizes he needs to back off a bit.

Kong mentioned in the last thread that this was pretty much next seasons opening day lineup, other than bay for duda.
Quite possibly right, but if the MIA guys from this year get close to their norms, it will still be potentially pretty effective.
With one caveat: Tejada can’t be in it. If they manage to plug in a 2B that can actually be a productive hitter, the line up will be reasonably deep. Hopefully.

Funny, I don’t see a problem with the lineup, just the way the lineup performed. It’s kind of like the I am not afraid of heights, I am afraid of falling? Or perhaps I am not afraid of falling, I am afraid of the landing?
Regardless, I can’t help but think that these guys will return to career norms because that is what a career norm is. I can’t think that these guys suddenly just started to suck and that will be the end result. Pitching however I do not think we can count on the SR to perform the way they did this season. That would be breaking away from THEIR career norms. Thus other than GM and coaching changes the most important pieces are still 2 SP and a BP make over.
stickguy

only Dickey can reasonably be said to have performed above his career norms, although he is such an odd case, that I don’t know what his norms actually are at this point!
Santana is gone for the year. That has to be the SOP here, and if he does come back, can’t expect anything.
SO yeah, they need 2 SP and some BP tweaks.

Bobby O hit the nail on the head in the post game tonight: ‘pathetic’.
I watched a team that was clearly going through the motions – with one exception: RA. I’m not too worried about RAs struggle today – as Jerry seems to be. I believe if there is anyway possible to be a success in this league with basically one pitch, RA will figure it out. And just to be factual here, RA didn’t lose that ball game – the predictable poor offense and the BP did him in. He left the game with the score tied.
The box score doesn’t really tell the whole story. Yes, RA put 2 on and no one out to start the 7th. Then Pedro came in, got a ground out then a IBB (which anyone who hangs in the Dugout knows I hate and rarely endorse). In comes Acosta and gives up the GS. So yeah, of those 4, 2 runs charged to Dickey and one to Pedro. Thanks Manny.
You know…Dicky admittedly struggled the whole game but most times got out of jam after jam. I KNOW he could have done a better job that inning that Acosta did giving up 4 runs in one swing of the bat.
Pathetic was right, Bobby.

As far as GM? I just read Sherman’s article. Bah….He makes some good points and others, well I’m just not buying.
I will go along with one point though. Whoever the Wilpons hire to be GM here’s hoping it is someone who will stand up to Jeff, will demand he be given the reign he needs (other than the budget) and will force Jeff to a less than ‘hands on’ approach.
I I won’t pretend to know who that GM should be. I know I would like it to be someone outside the current organization. Someone who has been around awhile (not a rookie GM) and someone who has had some success at it. I’m less concerned right now about who the manager will be as I am the GM.
