I still feel that this ballpark must be cursed, because there is no other logical explanation for everything that has occurred on and off the field this season..but if 'the core' comes back healthy next season and a decent starting pitcher is added, we'll have a shot..
We desperately need a real OF/1B - at least one who can hit for average/power. Matt Holliday would be great.
Also, we need a real #2 SP and probably a decent #3.
That with a healthy team would go a long way.
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane
mets should get carl crawford(free agent after this season) and doc halladay and Adrian Gonzalez. those are the 3 the mets should target in the offseason. matt holliday is over rated and cant play the outfield. hes like daniel murphy just with better power. we need guys who can play the outfield and have a arm and not guys who will strikeout 100 times and drive in 30 homers.

a lineup like that should contend for the division and go deep into the playoffs
Carl Crawford is not necessarily a free agent after this season. He has a $10 mil club option that many people think they will pick up to possibly trade him. With a .302/.357/.445 line and 57 stolen bases the club can easily pick up his option and trade him.
And how exactly is Minaya going to trade for Adrian Gonzalez and Halladay? I would love to hear this

rumors are the padres are looking to unload gonzo for bodies. a package of f-mart, parnell and pagan should be a good enough. halladay is more of a longshot if the yankees and red sox get in the mix, which will happen.

I hear you that the Padres want to unload him but with his numbers I think he might cost a bit more than that. Parnell and F-Mart are unproven but Pagan definitely has a lot of value. The upside for the Padres in that is that they are all very cheap.
Have you seen the reports as to what the Red Sox supposedly offered for Halladay? Riccardi should be fired immediatly for not taking it if it's true. To be fair Theo denied that was their offer.
No way Adrian gonzalez is a Met anytime soon. He's from the San Diego area, their most popular player, and is of mexican descent, which helps sell tickets in SD. Very highly doubtful they'd trade him, and if they did, 28 clubs with much better prospects to offer would be lining up. Unless The Padres are interested in washed up 30 something Latino has-beens,.............

Listen, say what you want about Holliday's defense, but to say all he does is hit 30 HR a year is just not looking at the stats. The guy is a stud on offense.
His average career numbers are: .318 BA, 43 2B, 29 HR, 113 RBI, 109 Runs, 15 SB, .933 OPS.
(Sadly for us) Daniel Murphy will never be half the player the Matt Holliday is.

Maybe they're cursed because they took the money of a company that was so incompetent it needed the goverment to bail them out. Or maybe they're cursed because they're linked up with a company that laid of 50,000 employees because its' money was used on the face of a ballpark.

Yes, it's sad all over....and all I've ever done is root for this team for 21 years....even more pathetic, but something that will never change..

I'm a huge yankee hater. I hope the angels come back and beat the yankees.
THIS is the worst season in the franchise. I just wanna crawl back into my hockey/football hole.
Actually, what the Phillies have done should serve as motivation for the Mets to get their act together in terms of player development in other areas.

you mean like have a gm draft good players and build a minor league pipline and not make your triple A team full of latin players that shouldn't even be in baseball.
