    X-Man, what do you think/know about the new manager?? We going all the way or what?

    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I'm very, very frightening
    and I'll overdo it'

    He managed the Angels before Scioscia. He was the minor league coordinator the last season, so if they go with some people from the system, they know him. A lot of people don't like managers who go 10 years in between jobs but I don't buy that. It's not like he hasn't been in baseball since his last managing job. Plus, anyone of us would be an upgrade in the managerial department over Chuckles Manuel.

    Paulino's got good splits against lefties. Could be an OK platoon w/ Thole.

    And DJ Carrassco... um... I love his dope house re-mixes of 80's pop songs?? Don't know really know who the hell he is, but his peripherals have been pretty good last few seasons. Alright by me.

    Sandy tempered expectations for the offseason pretty well. Better than locking up a bunch of shit dudes for long years and big $$. They'll be a contender come 2k12, and if everything [EVERYTHING] goes right this year, they could win 85-ish.

    Was expecting a Merry Cliffmas, too. Thanks for going with the more 'all-purpose' Happy Hallidays.

    Happy RA Dickey-mas. Nevermind.

    Lets Go Mets.

    dude, sandy alderson is the best thing to happen to the mets since steve phillips got busted banging that disgusting looking intern. I read something this week that said he was making the draft a priority and that the mets would be up there with the red sox and yanks as a top 5 team in terms of draft spending (currently they are in the bottom 10 of MLB...they are one of the few teams that stick to the MLB slotting recommendations).

    alderson is gonna turn this mess around. it might take like 5 years, but he will at least have a plan that he will stick to. no more overpaying average/shitty latin american guys (ollie, castillo, etc).

    as a phils fan I already miss omar...and phillips too

    couldn't agree anymore with you then i already did before this post. they've only over slotted 2 times in recent years and both were boris clients, how shocking :roll: .


    alderson will have this mess turned after this season

    Umm, Red Sox? :?

    It's a lot more fun to compete with the Mets instead of the Braves - plenty of Mets fans to make fun of. :P
