Comments on: Are the Mets the new Knicks? http://riveraveblues.com/2009/07/are-the-mets-the-new-knicks-15199/ A New York Yankees Blog Mon, 28 May 2012 10:06:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: DougFunnie http://riveraveblues.com/2009/07/are-the-mets-the-new-knicks-15199/#comment-502385 DougFunnie Thu, 30 Jul 2009 06:11:22 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=15199#comment-502385 As a long suffering Knicks fan, I can proclaim this proudly... The Mets are the Steelers compared to my pathetic B-ball squad. Seriosuly, the Mets have a foundation of Santana, K-rod, Wright Beltran, & Reyes. My Knicks have what... D-Lee, Nate, Chandler & the Galinari?!? Please, I wish the Knicks were as lucky as the Mutts. Although, Joseph Pawlikowski I do concur on how Isiah compares to Omar and I hope for our little brother Mets do fire him soon. Trust me getting rid of Isiah & Starbury has restored my dignity to be a Knicks fan again. As a long suffering Knicks fan, I can proclaim this proudly…

But that would never happen. They've had one playoff appearance since Omar was hired in 2003. He doesn't have the track record of success with the franchise to compensate how poorly he represents it publicly.

I'll just mention he went into last season with Pedro and El Duque INKED (not penciled) into the rotation and Moises Alou in LF. Plus, need I remind you of Castillo's contract?

The only other main guy who's hurt is Reyes. The Mets aren't going anywhere next season, or the next few. Their farm system has been shite for a while, and it's not getting better with Omar and his staff making draft choices based on how much of a discount they can get them at. Add that to their mismanagement of the top prospects they do manage to find (Milledge, Pelfrey, F-Mart for a few notable examples), and you have a big, sloppy mess on your hands. It's way past time for Minaya to go. He's awful. You mean when 2-bad-knees Beltran and 1 billion year old Delgado are healthy? The only other main guy who’s hurt is Reyes.

I know you want to get people talking and engaged but comparing the Mets to the Knicks is ludicrous. Just because Omar has trouble public speaking because he is speaking his second language doesn't make him Isiah Thomas and a sexual harasser. The Mets also will be right back in the playoff hunt next yr when everyone is healthy and they add pieces on the FA market. The Knicks won't be a playoff team for a decade without getting Lebron. I know the media is protecting its boy Rubin and everything but Omar could have savaged him without looking like an arse with a little politics. A systematic sprinkling to various media outlets about his motives and what hes been asking. It isn't hard to do. Flipping out killed him but what do you expect? Its his second language.
