 - "Mr. Jeff Wilpon has decided that he’s going to learn how to run a baseball team and take over at the end of the year… Run for the hills, boys. I think probably all those baseball people will bail… Jeff sits there by himself like he’s King Tut waiting for his camel.” - Nelson Doubleday - "In today's regulatory environment, it's virtually impossible to violate rules." - Bernard Madoff, 10/20/07 The Washington Post decided not to cover Ralph Nader's presidential campaign because he had no chance of winning. Nader's response: "Then why are you covering the Nationals?" - Asked by the Post about the younger Wilpon's job performance, Fred Wilpon said: "Excellent. Everybody knows ...that." - "The word 'autonomy' is sometimes misused." - Jeff Wilpon - [Jeff Wilpon's] role in management, according to one official who worked for him, "is to act as president and CEO of second-guessing." - "I always want Mets fans on my juries," said one noted defense attorney friend, a rabid Yankees fan. "They love losers, even three-time losers like some of my clients. And if Mets fans believe anything the Mets front office says, I can convince them to acquit anybody." - Denis Hamill - I got a call the other day. They noted I had been a long term season ticket holder and asked if I was interested. I immediately exclaimed "I'm so sorry for the Wilpon Family". He asked what I meant. I told the guy if he looked in my file, he'd see a note to call me after both Fred and Jeff dropped dead, and not a day before. - Meanballer |

This shouldn't be a surprise. Not only was Batista starting game 1, but he got shelled and is out after 3.2 innings.
Are you guys sure we can't just take him out back and have him put down? --------------------  Ladies and Gentlemen, up there is a certain user who rage quit because reality got too much for him! |

He's 41 and he comes cheap. Meets the Wilpon plan.

Went Friday and Sat. Maybe others can back this up, but I would say the crowd was 60-40, with 40% giants fans. And very loud Giant fans at that. Some bright spots on this team....Kirk and Dan Murphy. Perhaps Wright will continue to hit, but the rest look like the Bad News Bears and have a strong resemblance to that team from 50 years ago.

That leaves Beato who's OK but he's not going to be a spot-starter. I'm not sure that's a significant upgrade over Batista whose only real role is to mop-up. --------------------  |
