Recommended Posts

I have no fear of Detroit in a playoff series. Great rotation... Great 3 4 hitters. But I think we can beat them if we got the big guns.

 

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves here. We need a solid 7-3 run in the next 10 games to even get back into this.

Not as bad as some other non playing players still getting paid. Example: Bobby Bonilla lol

 

"When it came time to negotiate with The Mets, Bobby Bonilla was smart enough to secure one of the most forward thinking contracts in sports history. He knew The Mets wanted him gone but technically owed him $5.9 million. He also knew he had a young son and daughter who would be looking to go to college, and as a 36 year old, he likely had many years worth of life to live. So at this point, Bobby and his agents offered a unique compromise: The Mets would release Bobby to play for another team and they would delay the $5.9 million payment for 11 years, with interest. In essence, The Mets agreed to pay Bobby a total of $29.8 million (instead of $5.9 million) in 25 annual installments of $1.192 million, starting in the year 2011. When he received his first $1.192 payment, Bobby was 48 years old and had not played in the big leagues for 10 years. He has basically guaranteed himself a big league salary every year for the rest of his life. Today Bobby Bonilla makes more per year from the Mets than most of the team's active players! So why would The Mets agree to this deal?"

Woohoooo! Had to listen to the 2nd half of the game in the car. Great win!

 

Cabrera first one to jump on Reimold, running out with a huge smile. SIGN HIM UP AA. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

 

Also, I was afraid they were going to injure Reimold in the celebration...tell me I wasn't the only one.

 

Agree on all counts

 

I wish they'd got the Melky deal done over the ASB. We need to hang on to him. The lienup needs the ridiculous stability he provides from the 2 spot.
