Lets face it. Baseball has too long a season. Play the playoffs in September. Last game of the season is going to be Labor Day. Who's with me?
(Pretty much all of the Mets fans and Brewers fans on Anandtech I assume!)

You have to admire the Mets for their consistency. Very few teams in history have followed a monumental choke job with another major choke the next season.
Santana was great, nobody else on the team was worth a damn. And how about some props for Sabathia? He picked up the Brewers, put them on his shoulders and almost single-handedly carried them to the playoffs.

While I fully understand your frustration (I'm a Philadelphia sports fan, we specialize in it), there are several players on the Mets that are more than worth a damn . . . David Wright, Carlos Delgado . . . Carlos Beltran ain't dogmeat . . . and even the meathead boy wonder, Jose Reyes.
And I wouldn't mind having John Maine or Oliver Perez in our rotation.
One last thing . . . I believe that if Pedro Martinez puts his mind to it, he has the chops to be a highly successful change-of-location, change-of-speed finesse pitcher.

Omar Minaya supposedly had his contract extended for 4 years. LOL LAWL Only the Mets would give an extension to the architect of 2 epic and embarrassing failures in a row. I want to work for the Mets.
He should have been fired and while I like Jerry Manuel I think after these two season he needs to go too. The team needs a fresh makeover when they move to the new stadium.
Only Joe Smith survives the pen. Luis Castillo is out, Easley is a gamer but he's too old, Pedro is gone, move Murphy to second base or try to find a good second baseman, Ollie Perez is out (he'll command too much $$$), get a better bench (only keep Evans and Endy), give Fernando Martinez a shot to make the team, give Niese a shot to be the #5 starter...etc. What a mess. Omar has a LOT of work to do. 4 year extension and same manager. lol my god man..
