Since one of the prices paid was the owners' caving-in on the issue of contraction for at least the next four years, I'd rather have had the strike.

It's good to be back. But when it comes to my Mets, I just wish to say, the season can't end soon enough ..The Mets better INSIST Mo Vaughn come in IN SHAPE for next season, instead of looking like a candidate for ESPN tractor pull next year!! If he comes in like he did this season, (fat, bloated, clueless) I pull the plug late april ...Piazza better realize the ass kissing will stop...His numbers have been DECREASING..He needs to play first base...35 year old catchers, (Bench included) lose the leverage when they start to suck when the lumber production goes south....The Mets better grow some balls in crisis, and tell him, "Mike, you're playing first base"...Mo, if you can get a 95' Camry, donate some cash, and a player,for him, is expendable...

Hey, it's not every year you get the chance to set a league record...

As a Yankee fan, I am indeed quite angry that they have become the scapegoat for the bad managment of other teams and that in effect the owners of these teams are getting a form of corporate welfare in the worst way to bail them out of their bad business decisions that the Yankees have never matched. For now though, I just want them to take care of business for this season which is avenging last year, and then after the season I expect George to weigh his options and then potentially sue MLB for trying to devalue his club, which I think he would have every right to do. That at least is a battle that can be fought without the spectacle of a strike, and I do not expect Steinbrenner to become a penny pincher and see the Yankees tank anytime soon.
What is really idiotic though about this litany of the Yankees being to blame for this trouble is that these clowns making these complaints were a decade ago condemning Steinbrenner as the "first man to wreck the Yankees" (so said George Will, who when it comes to baseball is an ignoramus of the first order). Now, with Steinbrenner the most successful owner of the last quarter century over all, these same people now change their tune.

The reason why Valentine and Phillips won't get fired is because then Wilpon would have to pay them a year's salary to do no work and right now he can't afford that.
I know I posted somewhere at the start of the season that the Mets were potentially looking at 1992 all over again with their Rotisserie League approach to building a team. And 1992 is what they got. Now who's the best candidate to shoot bleach at reporters next season?

It says a lot about this season that the Braves clinched the division title tonight by virtue of a Mets win...
