If Mets management’s mantra is “we are comfortable with what we have” because they cant make a trade, that’s understandable. If they really believe that, they’re crazy. Forget Manny, he’d be great to have in the lineup, but I doubt the Mets can slug there way to a pennant.
Pitching is going to win the East. Our starting pitching is solid to adequate, depending on Pedro. The bullpen however, is fragile to critical. I would love Houston Street. I don’t know about the price tag Seattle is asking for and supposedly Fuentes is off the market.
If the Mets bullpen stays the same, look for another late August, mid-September melt down.
Just make a deal, Omar. You’ve got 25 minutes

Tough to watch nothing happen, but at least he didn’t throw prospects away for a quick fix. I’m not excited to watch Heilman walk the bases loaded then strike out the side, Schoeneweis doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence, and Billy Wagner could implode at any minute. But if Omar didn’t see anything worth taking, I’m glad he didn’t. We don’t want another Victor Zambrano-situation.
