  1. I'm curious how these Canadian cities compare if anyone's been to both. Obviously French is spoken in Montreal. I've never been to Toronoto. The only things I've read a little about it were fan encounters with The Toronto Series. It obviously didn't compare to the Ralph.

  2. Giants? Younger Manning's window is closing and they've made moves to help him out in his last few years.

     

    Philly? A good young QB, brought in a bunch of WRs and shipped out butterfingers to address drops while shoring up their backend in D.

     

    Steelers? I got a sense big ben will be hanging it up shortly. They got a dynamic O and stout D. Can they pull a good year together?

     

    Raiders with Marshawn? I got insomnia so I could stay up and watch them.

     

    Dallas has Dak and drama.

     

     

     

    I guess I'll be watching a lot of NFC East. How about you?

     

    The Eagles are the only team you mentioned I can tolerate. I mean following the Giants and Cowboys, really?

    Even if this season bottoms out I mean some teams I just could never

  3.  

     

    With the news about Bruce getting traded for basically a made up guy I nearly lost it. I would have rather kept him and offered him a QO. This was a pure money dump by the Wilpons and it is infuriating at the least. How are we replacing that production?

     

     

    Exactly. This years obviously been a disappointment but this was the first time I really shook my head. It's like this feeling that ownership doesn't care about winning.

     

    I liked Bruce as well. Last year he obviously struggled but this year he seemed to get back on track. Plus he took Conforto under his wing. I think there's something to be said for those type of players, especially nowadays where everyone looks out for themselves.

  4. Joe Benigno brought this up on his show the other day. Do you ever feel there's guys ownership doesn't like for reasons not related to baseball that impacts their decisions. Examples: Murphy and Turner

  5. The only thing I disagree slightly with you guys on is Sandy. I'm not really sold on him.

     

    I'm just not a big Moneyball fan and find Billy Beane to be overrated. Plus most of these pitchers (despite the injuries) were discovered by Minaya. Then there's the whole him always having it out for Backman.

     

    But like you say his hands can be tied by the Wilpons.

  6.  

    I remember when he coached the Stro's and all his players hated him. I actually preferred that TC over this one. He's been here the longest due to him willing to do whatever the Wilpon's want.

     

    I actually like Sandy a lot. I also believe from what I know he is handcuffed by the Wilpons.

     

    FYI our salary next season will be around 120-135ish. The Mets made last year around 75+ million in profit in 2016... Yet we need to cut payroll. This team ownership acts as if they play in Idaho.... I wish we had owners that spend and act like a NY based franchise :wallbash:

    Yeah unfortunately under this ownership I don't see it happening. When Doubleday left that really hurt things imo, after all he was the one who pushed for Piazza.

     

    I mean unless they're still reeling from Madoff?

  7. Yeah wish Wally would be the next manager. The Mets powers that be though would never let that happen though. They'd never want a guy who doesn't play it safe.

     

    That being said, Terry's overall stay there wasn't bad. I mean its got to count for something he's managed the most games in Mets history
