If you’ve ever seen Monica Bellucci in a movie, you know she always responds and delivers what’s needed at the crucial moment. Even if you don’t know this, or think all of this is BS, it’s worth netflixing a couple of her films just to gather your own fantasies opinions. But, ummm, yeah, point is [...] more... 
Looks like this offseason is basically about seeing if Omar can trade for a closer (Jenks, Putz, Street, Sherrill) in addition to signing one of the many options on the FA market (KRod, Wood, Hoffman, Fuentes). When we signed Wagner, we paid top dollar for a high caliber rack. When Billy went down, it was [...] more... 
Felt almost as intensely as ObamaMania, I was lobbying for the Rehiring of Willie Randolph (a la Billy Martin). Alas, not to be, as Grandpa Willia has signed on to form a formidable 1-2 punch with Ken Macha in Milwaukee. sigh more... 
Omar Minaya conceded recently that he’s been watching the Phillies road to the World Series very closely, and he expects their core group of good, controllable players to continue to play at a high level through 2009. And he mentions names citing, “Joe Blanton, Cole Hamels, Ryan Howard, Brad Lidge, Ryan Madson, Brett Myers, Jimmy [...] more... 
Where we look at potential off-season trade partners for the Mets I think the Baltimore Orioles should be one of our first calls. Even if they didn’t have players that fit our needs, in the past you would call them anyways just in case Jim Duquette picked up and decided to throw-in John Maine for [...] more... 
This is sort of exciting: Buster Olney talking about Jake Peavy, Matt Cain, and Zach Greinke being available. Any of them would be a GREAT fit behind Johan in our rotation. And would allow us to let Ollie walk without losing any ground in our rotation. Peavy in particular would make a Tyson-in-his-prime 1-2 punch [...] more... 
I’m in Camp Omar. I say give him the contract… and the confidence. I say this because I remember where we were only a few short years ago. And it was far, far away from bickering over a team that has averaged 89 wins a season in the Minaya era. That’s a record of success. [...] more... 
In 2006 the trio of Pedro, Moises Alous, and El Duque were key components of our division winning season. They were question marks because of age and/or health concerns, but all three of those guys could perform like All-Stars when stakes were high. They were our Undercover Studs (Pedro not so undercover). But this year [...] more... 
Tough way to close the season. Tough way to close a stadium. Tough way to close an era? I guess if we define the era by Reyes and Wright, then we’re just getting started. But if we define the era by Pedro, Willie, Heilman, Wagner, Delgado … well things just never worked out. You never [...] more... 
With us being in the midst of a financial apocalypse and all it seems a fine opportunity to wonder how much Johan Santana starting today only three days after winning his last must-win game is worth. Santana, to this point, has been the difference between this year’s fight-to-the-finish and last year’s poopy-drawers season where we [...] more...
