The Mets have three nice bats right now. The remaining six are either question marks or sure bets to deliver nothing. You also have to mention the left-handedness of the lineup and you wonder why they haven’t been deep in the mix.

Tex will, or at least should, certainly provide protection for A-Rod. Manny would take that a step further, but I think Manny would have a positive effect on Manny as far as dealing with pressure and playing looser. Watching A-Rod is like watching someone play in a tuxedo. Adding Manny would at least help A-Rod take off the jacket and un-tuck the shirt….perhaps even lose the shoes. Once we got Teixeira I was content with our off-season. With that said, I like the pros of signing Manny a little more than the cons.

Can we please pretend that Mike Cameron has fallen off the face of the earth. Why, why, why is anyone, starting with our G.M. anxious to add interested in adding an older, more expensive – albeit, more powerful – version of Melky Cabrera?

Evil Empire – Manny would DH, not play OF.

They fought because youkilis kept looking at Manny despite his many requests not to. I’d be pissed too if I had to look at his ugly mug for more than .358 seconds at a time. I hope Joba keeps brushing him back.

That was hilarious. Almost as good, if not better than diving to cut off Damon’s throw from the OF.

Sidebar: curt schilling can eat hippo $hit. I hate him more than anyone in sports, maybe the world. Talk about losing respect for someone. The day he bitched about Travis Lee bunting to break up his perfect game was the day I lost all respect for him. And I don’t give a damn about the “bloody sock”. We gave that game to them, they didn’t take it.

It’s not all about having a logjam of corner OF/DH. We’d have to make room on the 25-man roster as well.

I don’t think Dunn is better than Matsui. I would rather do nothing than replace Godzilla with the Donkey. At least Matsui is a true Yankee and you know he wants to do everything he can for us to win. Dunn is the biggest joke that someone who hits 40/HR a year can be. No Dunn please.

That’s “prospects” as in their chance to compete for the World Series this year and next. Not “prospects” as in Hughes, IPK, A-Jax and Montero. Although I am excited about them also.
