I'm starting to believe that Deepleft is a bigger idiot then Hilton.

Obviously you haven't read the GDF cocksucker.

I don't know what irritates me more, the fact that he has the Mets just casually adding the three of the top FA starters on the market (hey why not Ben Sheets for long relief!) or that he has Murphy hitting eighth.

Well since he can't mention white planes anymore, he has to do something to raise the blood pressure of all the sane posters.

I don't get how asking Met Mgmt to go out and spend the money that, ultimately WE as fans, provide for them is idiotic?

No. 1, you are a polyanna. You cried whenever someone insulted Willie, you cry whenever someone insults Manuel. You now cry for the ownership and say it is stupid to invest in CC/Burnett/Perez/Dunn? What is it you want...to be a KC Royals fan?

As for the rest of you....
yeah, I want ownership to go out and get as many top flight startes as possible. I do not know why either of you would not want that either? Maybe you can say "I'd rather have this guy over that guy", but I cannot for one minute believe that any of you would actually believe that this team CANNOT spend the money. The Mets have $39 Million dollars coming OFF the payroll in expiring contracts, with the bulk of that coming from Pedro, Perez, El Duque and Alou. $39 million!!!! Add on to that the SNY revenue, the luxury boxes that they are going to sell, The $6 hot dogs, $10 beers and a sold out for the year Citifield...they should be ROLLING in dough.

I would think fans would DEMAND it of ownership to spend more money considering the market the Mets play in and the results of the past 2 years...and with the $39 mil coming off, my suggestions increase payroll by $41 million over this year.

What is wrong with some of you?

It is as if the Mets not making the playoffs is good thing for you...just something new to b!tch about.

do you think Jim Abbot is bummed out he can only wank it one handed? I know I like to change things up a bit and go lefty for a little while. Or even better yet, sit on your hand until it falls asleep. It's like there is someone else there!!

Deep, you can't just throw money and try to field the best fantasy baseball team out there.

I'm pretty sure that was a big part of Abbot's Yankeeography. Not that it matters. Like they say, a guy with no hands would still find a way...

No.1

If you're going to insult me, at least get your facts straight....for the love of all that's good in this world


Since when have I ever "cried" over the Comedian. I have been saying he should be gone alone with GM Banana Boat if there was going to be ANY change with this team. I don't care what he did while he's managing, there's a poison on this team and he's part of it either as an assistant or intern manager.

"You now cry for the ownership and say it is stupid to invest in CC/Burnett/Perez/Dunn" - Gee, I don't know maybe because THIS ISN'T ****ING MONOPOLY DUMB***!! The ownership isn't the Yankees organization. They don't have that kind of money even WITH the new stadium to get the top 2 FA starters out there, and resign Perez to a buttload of money, and get a guy that only ONE playoff caliber team WANTED and that was during a ****ING WAIVER TRADE! You possibly think the Mets are the only team looking for ****ING starting pitching? Wake the **** up! ****!!

It is not about a fantsy team, it is about addressing a dire need, pitching. The Mets need pitching. There is another thread up questioning if the Mets starters hurt the bullpen and the answer is, without question, yes. Pedro going 5, Nelson/Knight/Vargas/Niese goin 5 (or less) put a tremendous strain on this team.

1-Type flight starting pitching is available this off-season via free agency whereas it was not last year.

2-The Mets not only have $39 million coming off the books, but Citifield and oodles of revenue coming in this next year.

3-The repeated failures over the course of the last 2 years make this type of action necessary (or the other option would be dismantle the team)

With a rotation that is comprised of Santana (L) Burnett (R) Sabathia (L) Pelfrey (R) and Perez (L), your opponents would always be off balance and your bullpen would be less taxed. Perez is an enigma, but as a #5 starter, he may be more palatable.

I for one am an advocate for Maine as the closer, but if you do not want to do that then scratch the Perez plan and go w/ Maine in the rotation and get a guy to close.

As for the Dunn signing, I would like a LF that, you know, is a LF. Ideally I think the Mets would be better off signing Manny considering he is a RH bat...but the reason I chose Dunn is age.

Finally, this is not a "short sighted, fantasy baseball" idea. My thinking is if you lock up those pitchers for the next 5 + years, lock up a LF for the next 5 years....you already have Beltran, Reyes, Wright, Church, Murphy, Santana, Pelfrey, and Maine under your control for the immediate future, you do not have to add much payroll in subsequent years...probably saving money in the long run as salaries escalate. All this and the luxury of having the best pitching staff in the majors and a very potent line up.

Wah, I'll curse and scream. Maybe that'll get my point heard. Go get your shinebox, Ant.

You keep believing whatever the **** you believe this team can do. Call me when you're back to reality

Don't you think CC is a bit of a risk for six years and $20 million, which he could probably get more than? The guy ain't getting any skinnier, and his arm isn't getting any less abused. Nobody can say how these things will work out because they could change any second, but I would feel a lot more confident in Santana's ability to stay healthy than CC's. He's a piece of meat to the Brewers, and that's how they've treated him...

As for Burnett, that one has disaster written all over it. He hasn't earned his contract from Toronto, and now you want to give him even more years at a much larger salary when he's three years older?
