Wasn't fast enough.
Should have been done before the WS ended.
This franchise is doomed, speed was the essence here and this FO failed big time.

Edited for my own Fuzzy Math...sorry
It's 8 years.
I did not divide 138 by 7.Quote:

Sorry miscalculation on my part...Wasn't including this year in the mix, was starting from 2014, I have no problem admitting when I am wrong, and in this case I am.Quote:

This is pretty much the absolute minimum we should expect, anyone who is feeling grateful to the Coupons today has something wrong with them.
Now IMPROVE the team.
While I do not think that the Wilpon's are racist at all, I am pretty sure when deciding who to choose among these two corner stone player to pay and give big money to and be the face of the franchise where they came from and how they looked might have been a favor. In one corner you have Mr. All American, good looking David Wright who says all the right things an in the other side you have a flamboyant Latino with dreadlocks who speaks broken English.
They pee away their money evenly on any nationality. How about our Japanese 2nd baseman turned short stop. How about OP and Castillo, how about George Foster, how about Mike Pelfrey, how about Bay. When Omar was here it looked like little Latin America. I think the Wilpons would spend money on any nationality as long as it brought the promise of winning. Sadly most of them didn't.Quote:

Why do you think Omar was fired, Amogo?Quote:

I can't believe its true. Finally.
This...It's great that they ponied up and signed their best offensive player in team history, but it can't stop there. In all reality this team is probably worse then last years. I think Dickey will still be a top 10 pitcher but I don't think he will be the best or even top 3 again this year.Quote:

We don't have the pieces to bring in an elite outfielder which is what this team def needs.
Wright is the equivalent to Matt Holliday imo. Very good player that needs a great hitter on the team to reach his maximum effectiveness.
All we can hope for is vast improvements from Thole, Kirk, Duda, Ike and hope for Murphy to get some of his power back.
