Can you imagine if the Mets had Scott Kazmir? Rick White needs to be fired!..?

Rick White was a middle reliever who's claim to fame was his similar appearance to David Wells (at least for me).  He does indeed need to be fired, wherever he is.  I'm upset about Zambrano too, but let's see how he does tomorrow...either way, it was a bad trade.

Glavine has already announced that as soon as her reaches 300 wins he will retire.  He is currently at 290 wins.  Now whether he completes the season or not is still an open question.  I'm sure he will re-sign with the Mets because they give him the best chance to win.  Now if the Mets are doing well as we all think they will, he will probably finish the season with them via playoffs and possible world series appearance.  I'm sure he will win at least 10 games in 2007.

Well, to start, they really need to get rid of Ponson.  There's nothing worse than a bad attitude combined with lack of talent.  I would have to agree that they should try and make a run at Dontrelle Willis, because if the Marlins are given a good enough offer, they'll trade him off in a heartbeat.\n\nAnd they really, desperately need to get rid of Jason Isringhausen and get themselves a pitcher who can handle the closer role.  I know he's leading the league in saves or is really close to it, but it's painful to hear about how many times he's nearly blown it.

I agree that soriano made out like a bandit , but who doesn't these days. I think hitting him lead off is totally crazy though , the guy hit 46 homers last season. I don't care how fast he can run , he would be perfect in the 5 slot , right behind Aramis Rameriz. I would put him in left field , Murton in right and try to find a good lead off hitter that can play center field. I think the cubs are on the right track and maybe with Andy McPhail gone they will spend the money. I know he wasn't the one paying the players but I am sure he had a big influence on the money decisions.

Well, to be honest, I have mixed feelings. The As are coming off a good season and I am happy to have someone with playoff experience. Yet, I wish we had someone who had been a MLB manager before.

Yes, definitely!  I am not a Mets fan, but I am so happy they're doing so well...it's about time.  They WILL beat out the Braves for the NL East...the Braves are in THIRD right now, anyway....they might not even make second...

Being a Mariners fan, I am optimistic about them getting Barry Zito, but I don't see that happening. I think a more resonable target will be Jason Schmidt. He will give the Mariners a strong ace to anchor the rotation and a veteran to mentor King Felix now that Jamie is gone. Also, they should try to make a move to resign Gil Meche. He is, in my opinion, ready for a breakout year.

I think spending 52 million dollars, JUST TO TALK TO HIM, is absolutely ABSURD! Even after the 52 million, they still have to negotiate a contract, and Scott Boras (his agent) has stated that he won't accept anything under 13 million dollars. I think that this is going to turn into a total bust for the Red Sox and a complete waste of money.

Cubs?  Are you drinking?  Prior and Wood can't stay healthy and Maddux is older than God and not pitching well.  Zambrano is very good.\n\nEither White Sox or Cardinals.

Well, I hope so(I am a Mets fan, but live in Atlanta) but I don't think they are ready with the pitching staff they have now, but to make the playoffs they will have to win their division. The player who I hope will contribute the most is David Wright. But if they win I would let any of them be the main contributor.

I can't believe it either!  Wood's mechanics are terrible and always have been.  The guy never learned how to pitch correctly.  Prior has the same problem.  They will never pitch an entire season without breaking down.  The Cubs will never do anything until they address this issue.  The other problem is hiring Sweet Lou!  This guy is a bomb ready to go off.  With a sub par team and a short fuse all the Cubs fans will get is Lou's side show and another 90 plus loss season.  It's too bad because the Cubs fans deserve much more.  And why isn't Ron Santo in the hall of fame????

I was surprised to hear Mike & Mike on ESPN admit that the NL East race is over...it was nice to hear the Mets get the respect they deserve!  If you listen to a lot of other media outlets in NY, the Yankees are always on top: Mike & The Mad Dog are complete Met haters, even the local news channels (channels 5 & 9 specifically) lean towards the Yankees.  And it's killing me now that people are saying that the Mets are winning because a former Yankee (Randolph) is managing.  The Mets are unstoppable right now, and will probably have 5 or more representatives at the All Star game, so I hope that gets them a bit more respect.\n\nI couldn't deal with the biased media anymore, so I got XM, and I have to say that the coverage there is pretty even.  I do admit though, that I'm biased myself...what Met fan wouldn't be?!  =D

come on marc cuban would be the best possible thing for not only the penguins but the NHL.  look at what he did with the mavs. does any one remember what a joke they were when he bought them.  Not to mention lets get a little pub for the NHL... Immagine what he would do to that prick betman I am salivating just thinking about it.

Hello fellow Mets fan.  Zito is the jewel in our championship crown.  \nZito\nGlavine (Mets will outbid ATL)\nMaine\nEl Duke\nPelfrey (He should be ready for the show)\n\nMarlins are asking a high price for Dontrelle, but what about Mark Mulder?  We could get him at a discount and reunite him w/ Rick Peterson.\nMy favorite site for Mets info is metsblog.com a must read for the Hot Stove and Winter Meetings.  Let's Go Mets.

I hope somebody knocks his a$$ out. I mean these are just kids he's coaching. I'd like to see him do that in the NBA. That old fart would be in a coma if he pulled that in the pros. Just look at what happened to Carlesimo. nuff said.

YANKEES!!? HA! you'r kidding me guys... the Mets are doing a hell of a job and I think they can pose as a serious threat.. Hopefully it doesn't mean that they'll end up in a race spending as much money as the team from the Bronx does.
