    Unfortunately, i agree.

    the underdog vs UberWulf vibe is long gone.

    it hasnt become the circus in the Bronx but its getting there.

    I can respect the player, and understandably they HAVE to talk to him,
    but i dont want this Mega distraction on the Mets.

    seriously, where is howie spira when you need him ?????
    I don't think that it would hurt the Mets all that much, if at all. I mean, remember all of the frenzy surrounding Strawberry?

    I wish A-Rod all the best as he destroys another team with his greed!

    the money could be used on 2 or 3 real starting pitchers.

    That's certainly true. The only problem is, are there 2-3 real starting pitchers on the market this year? Who's left?

    Carlos Silva and Kyle Lohse!

    With this market, spending the money that could be used on Alex Rodriguez on pitchers is not more beneficial. If there was a top of the line starter available, it's a different story.

    1) Colon is 34, has been hurt for 2 years, and (very likely) isn't the same pitcher that he was between 2002-2005.

    2) more importantly, the Angels are going to resign him. I think.

    Also, Colon has been extremely unlucky. Look at his LD/GB/FB% over the last three seasons:


    LD% GB % FB%
    2005 Angels 19.3 % 41.2 % 39.5 %
    2006 Angels 22.4 % 40.8 % 36.8 %
    2007 Angels 18.5 % 41.7 % 39.9 %
