Im not in baseball mode right now.... So all the players injuries hasnt settled in my brain yet...but i know pedro will be hurt this year and thats the bottom line... randy is old yes but he will be in and out its expected at his age. But he will have a better year then pedro.
Wack ass bullpen..hold up i know recently our bullpen had its problems but we have a diffrent staff now and you cant judge it untill the season starts... If we still had the same staff then you can say that..diffrent eyes see diffrent outcomes, And the yankees bullpen will be fine.
I hope Randy misses a few weeks, as long as it isn't serious I prefer our pitchers to get a few week break to they are fresh come October.
The Lineup is great, fine i said it. But there is some ouestion marks. (sheffield and giambi ran out of cream) Mariano WAS the best closer but he's also gettting old.[/QUOTE] Are you crazy Sheff and Giambi question marks? they were great last year and Giambi won comeback player of the year while Sheffield had another all-star appearence and a great season. Even if Mariano is gettin old hes still at the top of his game an shows no signs of slowin down. Mets suck you guys have high hopes every year signin players who have been good in the past an end up suckin on the mets. The mets will always be second best in new york. GO YANKS!!!!
The Mets haven't had high hopes for several seasons now. The Mets were not second best when I was growing up. The Yankees were the city turds from 1984-1993. 1994 was the first year that I watched baseball where the Yankees mattered more than the Mets.
He said sheff has problems and giambi is fat lmao.... What the hell did they do last year? And is the season starting tomorrow?
mariano was the best closer LAST YEAR, it's not like it was 5 years ago. I never doubt the guy, at some point he's going to lose it but until I see I will always have confidence in him. He's like the Braves, until I see a team in the NL East finish ahead of them I will never bet against them.
Actually the Mets have had high hopes for about the last 4 years. After the '00 WS they had high hopes then after they got alomar, vaughn, etc. they had high hopes, last year w/ all the FAs they had high hopes and the Yanks were not awful in the 80s they just couldn't get over the hump. They were always in contention until the late 80s. From about '89-'91 they were dreadful but throughout most of the 80s they were good but not great and for all the "greatness" of the Mets in the 80s they won ONE Championship and had a many WS appearances as the Yankees.
Um, no. It would be better to break down the Yankees against the AL. Then break down the Mets against NL teams. To all the people hating on the Mets- I want detailed accounts on which 4 NL teams will keep the Mets out of the postseason. I want paragraphs on the Astros, Cardinals, Brewers, etc. (As a Mets fan who thinks both NY teams will make the postseason in 2006, I don't have to spend any time discounting either team. However, those that wish to discount the Mets, let's hear it. I want lenghty reasons why the Mets won't make the playoffs- but without mentioning the Mets. Get it? Puff up 4 other NL teams and tell me just how great those teams are.)
Mariano, Farnsworth, Myers, Sturtze, Dotel & Villone are alot better than Wagner, Julio, Padilla, Bell. We have the better closer and better setup men.
The Mets have not had high hopes for the last 4 years. They had some "hopes" in 2001 and 2002. They had very little hope entering the 2003 and 2004 seasons.
I remember last year I got into a huge argument w/ Shade and others about Houston being better and wonering why Beltran would go to a worse team and they told me how bad the 'Stros would be and how much better the Mets would be, how did that work out?
There were defintely high hopes in '01 & '02. In '03 and '04 the expectations were a little lower but there were still hopes and last year the higher hopes returned. 2 years ago Met fan #1(Shade) GUARANTEED a division title after you swept the Yanks in June.
Wagner, Sanchez, Bradford, Julio, Padilla are better. Counting on Dotel? Bold Wait until the AL east gets a load of Kyles straighter than an arrow fastball. They might take down the blimp flying over the stadium.
