Ray Finkle said:I agree I'm sure Omar is hoping that the Mets win it within the next 2 years because once Pedro is gone the team will be shot pitching wise unless it can again sign some top notch FAs pitchers. At least they'll still have the core of their line up there with Wright, Reyes and Beltran. But in my opinion the Mets have to make it to the World Series next year or in 2007 or they will be a laughing stock around the league.

cuz its funny when they have the biggest payroll in sports history and then loseMikeO said:1) nobody should EVER talk crap about the Yanks payroll. If the Yanks don't win it all, who cares how much they spend! :shakeno:

yeah i'm sure george is happy with that if u have the highest payroll in sports history there's only one goal and they didn't accomplish it so they lostMikeO said:OK, going to the playoffs isn't considered "losing". :shakeno:
Not making the playoffs, ok that is one thing. Winning the division for 8 straight years. Winning 4 world series in that time, isn't losing!
You demand perfection............that will never happen in ANY sport. Making the playoffs every year being in World Series after World Series, or ALCS after ALCS.....heck you are bound to lose some! The fact they are THERE doesn't mean they are "losing". :shakeno:
If they spent $180 mill and failed to make the playoffs or finishing in 3rd in athe AL East, that is losing. They aren't doing that.

Pedro on the mound at Fenway for Game 1. (Assuming of course that the AL wins the All-Star game)

Poor Grady, the guy ****** up, no doubt about it. I just don't feel like he was completely at fault. Our bullpen sucked badly in 2003. Swilly had electric stuff, but he was downright terrible in the Oakland series, to the point where we needed Lowe to come in and shut the door during Game 5 after he walked the bases loaded. Granted the rest of the pen pitched extremely well throughout the first 11 games of the postseason.
I'm just saying I can understand why he was hesistant to take Pedro out (who was clearly losing it) in favor of the pen.
