    Stutes looked good yesterday. Looks like he has a real shot at making the team. Half the other guys i had barely heard of.

    Fixer - if Utley is out who do you think is a viable replacement? I saw the talk about Aramis Ramirez but does the money work for him? any chance the mets are so desperate financially they offer up David Wright, although the Phils would probably have to dump a ton of salary for him (he makes a ton doesn't he?). At some point the Mets are going to have to trade Wright and/or Reyes this year for financial reasons unless they can come up with some new owners and cash influx. Unfortunately if Utley is out long term I'd have to say it probably means the Phils are going to have to dump Blanton for financial reasons. If not a major acquisition Fixer who do you see available? I know before you said maybe Keppinger. Anyone else you like or think would be a good fit?

    Stutes has looked great this spring. Would be cool if he's ready to contribute this year. I don't care if mayberry hits 1.000 the rest of the spring...he blows.

    The utley stuff really sucks. If he is out for the season I think this team is pretty much screwed. I wouldn't go crazy by making a trade for a guy like michael young (who is not that good and owed a ton of money over 3 years). I think delwyn young is their best option...maybe with valdez getting a start or two a week. I'd roll with them until a better option presents itself.

    I have heard that luis castillo is probably getting cut, but he isn't any better than what they have in young/valdez. keppinger of the astros was a possibility, but he's hurt and gonna be out a month or so. there are some other half-assed guys that should be available, but none of them will come close to contributing half of what utley does.

    No way the mets trade wright to the phils. reyes is a FA after this year and he is prime candidate to be moved in season. He doesn't fit for the phils though. if the mets are smart they will dump their overpaid vets and build around wright. he's still only 28 years old


    agree 100% on Mayberry.

    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait. Did pjhawks ask some sport-related questions in an amicable sense? I guess it's true that every squirrel can find a nut.

    thanks for noticing. haven't focused much on baseball yet (other than phils) as still in total college hoops mode so wasn't aware of what available replacement options were so thought i'd ask. i don't ask much amicably because i usually have a strong opinion already formed, in this case i did not as of yet. :)

    YES. Finally some good ol' shit talking.....

    I can't wait for Opening Day. Hall is going to get raped. And I love if a hitter goes 1-20 against a pitcher, and that one hit is a home run, they'll feel vindicated. Ridiculous. I hope Colbert hisses one right by his chin. What's that? Cole won't pitch in that series? He should. He should be the 3rd man in the rotation - F mixing up the rotation. Let's go already!

    gotta love bench players calling people out. this reminds me of the turd that called out pronger after the SCF...even though the guy didn't even dress in the clinching game.

    murphy's latest blog has the bench as schneider, gload, valdez, young, and mayberry. ugh.

    2 reasons we argue so much. 1 because many here love to make sensationalized over-dramatic statements that are outlandish enough (ross gload over ryan howard for example) that they have to be disputed. 2ndly we have been so good and the mets suck so bad how many times and how exciting would it be to say we are great and the mets suck. it was fun 3 or 4 years ago when the mets were still viable, now you aren't really even worth worrying about.

    Stutes looked good yesterday. Looks like he has a real shot at making the team. Half the other guys i had barely heard of.

    few things

    i've never understood the mets/phils rivalry. to me it's a cheap version of sox/yanks and fails tono end and alota philly fans buy into it more then met fans. me personally i've never had any hatered towards the phils like i do with the braves or yanks. those are the mets true rivals unlike the phils which espn and fox pushed for. i get more pumped up for the subway series every year and wish the yanks and mets could play more then just 6 games a season.


    sandy won't ever trade away the face of the franchise(wright) period or reyes inside the division. look for sandy to trade reyes away to the royals for some of their major league ready prospects or a team of that ilk. would you really give up d. brown and some of your other top prospects for a often injured top 10 player? i doubt you would.

    yeah...that big braves/mets rivalry is one people look forward to every year. one of my best friend's a braves fan and he could give 2 turtle poops about the mets. :lol:

    there is a natural rivalry between the mets and phils just because of the proximity. it just hasn't taken off because, other than a few years ago, both teams have never been good at the same time.

    I don't care how good or bad the phils and mets are...I will always despise the mets. they are my most hated team in all of sports. by a lot

    1 - mets
    2 - cowboys
    3 - giants (NFL)
    4 - rangers (NHL)
    5 - knicks

    honorable mention to the red sox, celtics, redskins, and penguins. It's tough to hate any of the atlanta teams since they don't have any fans.

    hate a team that has sucked since 06 and before 06 never really had a rivalry with, genius pure genius. :roll:. cowboys and giants should be #1 on that list and mets should be where the rag$ are.

    Go to a phils/mets game in philly. Then you will understand.

    If '07-'08 wasn't a rivalry atmostphere beteween the mets/phils, well then I don't know what is.
