    but your mets.........now that's another story
    Uh...

    We have like 4 All-Stars in our starting lineup (Reyes, Bay, Beltran, Wright) and a good cast of supporting players (Francoeur, Pagan, Murphy, Castillo, etc), along with one of the best pitchers in baseball and an improved bullpen.

    Don't forget Bengie Molina when Omar signs him to a 3/$70

    DONE
    Yeah we just signed Jason Bay.

    And Henry Blanco to fill our backup catcher role.

    And Alex Cora as a backup shortstop

    And Ryota Igarashi, Clint Everts, Kelvim Escobar, Jay Marshall for the bullpen

    And Chris Coste, Mike Hessman, Andy Green, Russ Adams, etc for depth... which we didn't have last year

    ****, that's all it took.

    The Mets really aren't that bad of a team. Last year they were wrecked by injuries.

    doesn't look like you added much at all.

    Bay, i mean, he should be pretty valuable, maybe not for what he will get paid...but hey, he isn't that bad.





    the Mets need to be healthy, and get a pitching rotation.

    I would have thought they would have tried for Lackey over Bay personally.

    and you are right, they really aren't.

    Murphy and Franky can be solid players at times.

    but really they aren't solid role players that you can depend on.

    I'm sorry we can't all be the Mariners.

    They're a pretty awesome supporting cast regardless of what you or your stats say.
