Well, I don't know what those other Mets fans were thinking. The team was dreadful in 2003 and 2004 and had 83-79 written all over it coming into the 2005 season (I may never again hit on the Mets exact record as I did last March).
I'm not counting on kyle to bring anything more than some toughness. I think Dotel is going to be a nice boost when he's ready and we have enough arms there to get to the best closer of all time. Farnsworth is better than Julio.
Farnsworth is a better steroid user. Julio is a more prolific eater. Both are less than adequate as Major League pitchers on contending teams.
Roger, I will bet you anything you want that Pedro will have a lower ERA, better K/BB, and fewer HR allowed than Randy. Or anyone on the Yankee staff for that matter.
Pedro is the best active and third ALL TIME in winning percentage. He has a career record of 197-84, and has had ONE losing record in his career, 1992 when he made his Major League debut, pitched only 8 innings and was 0-1. I don't think you can question his record, but if you'd like, I'll bet anything that he'll be over .500 easily.
Pedro is not going to be the opening starter in WBC. Because of his toe... And it starts the injuries.... Hahaha and he is supposed to be healthy all year ahahahahaha. Yankees rule mets drool.
I'm not a Met fan so say that all you'd like. Do you want a bet, or are you scared to back up your big mouth?
And those stats has to do with what this season? I dont shoot out stats about randy because this is a new season.. Just ask beltran when he was in the astros then played with the mets the next year.
I already have abet with someone. And watch out kid the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...dont get burned.
Say whatever you wish... I dont google shit or look up anything in the pc i go with whats in my head, and if im wrong so what there are intelligent people here who can correct me. Nobody should be scared to be wrong. @exit 117 the bet has to be at the end of the year? No? Its the only time we will know who had the better season.
It's a low risk, high reward situation. Without him, the bullpen is fairly solid. Post AS break, when he builds his arm strength back up, he can provide us with one of the best relief arms in the entire league. Too bad he has also developed one of the best sliders in MLB.
I was really pissed the Mets didn't land Dotel. I always liked him and you're potentially picking up a great reliever for a couple mill in salary. I have no idea why Omar didn't go for this guy, rather then trading starting pitching for other teams cast offs.
