That certainly is not the Omar Minaya who is seen as a "Dead Man Walking" if Tony B. remains in the Mets front office, but this is not necessarily about either of them yet it's about both of them. Makes sense yet? I didn't think so.
We need to set the ground rules for this discussion if you want to take blasts at me in the comment section. First off if you believe for one second that the Mets have a chance to go about 48 wins over the next 65 games or so please move onto the next Mets article.
If you believe like I do, and was one of the first people to tell you to pack it up and "Wait Til Next Year" at my midseason report, then I would be extremely interested in your comments both pro and con.
Forget the trade deadline, the other teams don't see the Mets being able to help them get better and we don't plan to give up whatever good prospects we hope we have and totally kill a barren farm system that we have.
OK, with that said it is customary for teams, usually the ones out of th...

A Deep Breath Is In Order
A well-penned article by Ken Belson, with assists from Ben Shpigel and Tyler Kepner, in today's NY Times is must reading for all Mets fans. It is aptly entitled: "A Disquieting Silence Envelops the Floundering Mets."
Things are not going well for the Mets and especially for the Wilpons.
Lets try to elaborate on the NY Times article and add some further doses of reality...

“WE ARE THE CORE, WE ARE THE METS FANS”
I had the pleasure of attending the first of three AMAZIN’ TUESDAY’S at Two Boots last night and right about the time Paul Lukas started his Mets uniform exam, I realized that the “core” of the Mets is not David Wright, Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, or Johan Santana. Not even close, the real “core” of the NY Mets is you, me, Lukas, Greg Prince, Matt Silverman, Jon Springer...
Mets to investigate exec over clubhouse tirade
The New York Mets will conduct an investigation into reports that vice president of player development Tony Bernazard earlier this month challenged members of their Double-A Binghamton affiliate to fight him during a postgame tirade.
Mets VP challenges Double-A team to a fight
Things are bad for the New York Mets. How bad you ask? Bad to the point where the VP of player development is ripping off his shirt, calling a Double-A player a “part of a woman’s anatomy” and then challenging the entire team to a fight.
The Binghamton Mets clubhouse nearly turned into a scene out [...]

Mr. & Mrs. Howie Rose spent the All-Star Break on a trip to London, affording the couple an opportunity bask in a bit of rock history. While the Roses didn’t get around to visiting the Bruno Wizard Museum, Mets’ radio announcer Howie [...]

Cora gets thumbed from lineup
Alex Cora's right thumb, which is expected to require surgery after the season to repair a torn ligament, kept him out of the lineup for Wednesday night's series finale against the Nationals.
METS' MAINE SEEKS SECOND OPINION
HOUSTON -- John Maine's season -- indeed, his future as a Met -- is getting ever more dim. The Mets don't appear to be optimistic after confirming that the right-hander has been shut down while he prepares to visit orthopedic surgeon James Andrews...
For The Mets, It's TimeTo Clean House In Flushing
The time is just about right for a murder/suicide in Mets' Land. I’m not saying things are so bad that somebody should actually be killed (though watching the Mets offense these days is putting me in a coma and I’ve signed the appropriate papers for my wife to pull the plug if need be). I’m speaking figuratively here. The Wilpons should fire everybody (and I mean everybody...
RIGHTY SHUT DOWN, POSSIBLY FOR 2009

New York Mets Looking Ahead: Changes in the 2010 Infield
The Mets have certainly had their fair share of mishaps this season, and there are many things that it can be blamed on. The most popular reason for the Mets’ struggles seems to be the injury bug.
With guys like Reyes, Delgado, Beltran, Perez, Maine and Putz all missing extended time, the Mets are having trouble competing, and they sit 10 games behind the first place Phillies....
