They were without him all year basically. He won only 9 gamesMets no longer the team to beat in the NL w/o Pedro.
I can't tell you how glad I am that you posted that. Thanks, GB.Mets no longer the team to beat in the NL w/o Pedro.
He made 23 starts. Granted, only ~ 18-20 were heatlhy, but that's hardly "w/o him all year".As a Padre fan, this news doesn't hurt my feelings.They were without him all year basically. He won only 9 gamesMets no longer the team to beat in the NL w/o Pedro.
yea, you guys have been much better off without him.And that's why I'm glad the Sox didn't resign him.
Yes they are.Mets no longer the team to beat in the NL w/o Pedro.
Could have put on this post coming from you. However, it is anyway.yea, you guys have been much better off without him.And that's why I'm glad the Sox didn't resign him.
I just don't get why Sox fans are happy with him not being there. Not like there is a salary cap. Makes no sense, the money isn't coming out of any fan's pocket. Sox fans don't have to justify the two terrible offseasons since the Series win, we all know how bad it's been. Theo basically dismantled a WS winner. People need to stop acting like they're glad John Henry saved a few million in exchange for a worse team.Could have put on this post coming from you.

That was another good move by the Sox.Meridith,
Manny is my favorite non-Yankee is baseball. Always loved the guy. Would love to have him on the Yankees.

I could not have cared less about the money. I appreciate the greatness that was Pedro and all of the unbelievable years he gave us but for what they were getting out of him on the field, I couldnt take his Prima Donna status year after year.It bugs me when a guy doesnt finish the season because the team has been eliminated from contention. Pedro did this time after time.Capella said:I just don't get why Sox fans are happy with him not being there. Not like there is a salary cap.

See, Giambi is the DH. I guess if you move Sheffield to first and can Manny catch? It might work. If some of the older guys can hang on until Cano becomes a free agent, the Yankees will have an all +$10 million lineup.DH, man, DH. It makes sense.

I'm on the Twins. $50 worth at +350Should be an interesting post-season. Who would have predicted El Duque as the Mets top dog?They don't have great pitchers, but I think all of them can team the team in games. With the offense they have, that should be good enough. I'll admit I'm not as stoked at the prospects of another Subway Series though. Go Twins!
Sorry, not DH. AH. Alternate hitter. We had them in the leagues I played. 4 outfielders, DH and AH just to let one more person play - usually the guy who could run or field anymore but bought the most beer.I'm telling you, this is gold.And don't go near Cano. That guy is gold.See, Giambi is the DH. I guess if you move Sheffield to first and can Manny catch? It might work.

The NL playoff teams are a bunch of flawed mediocre teams. Any one of them could win it if they got hot enough, except for maybe the Cards who pretty much suck.I don't think any of the NL teams has a snowball's chance in hell of winning the Series.FYI, Houston is the favorite in the NL as of right now, IMO.

I heard a rumor that Manny's agent has already asked the Sox to trade him (again) this offseason (again). Manny is starting to crack me up, as he keeps asking to be traded and that he so wants out of town, yet when he hears the teams that get involved he gets picky about his destination. Boston also cracks me up because they seem to think that they can find another guy off hte street to hit .300/40/120.Things didn't work out as planned this year, as all the young prospects the Sox traded did better than the guys they brought in (and for a lot less money).

Sad but true. I suffered for years. But we won, so I don't need to watch anymore. (They didn't win in my dad's entire LIFETIME.) Liked the Padres when I lived in CA, but that was the mid-80's team with the likes of Gwynn, Garvey, Wiggins, McReynolds, Nettles, Templeton, Show, Hawkins, Gossage, etc.Didn't know you were a Saux fan Yudkin.

El Duque has a very nice record against the Padres, and Wagner is as good as Hoffman.That said, I wouldn't bet the farm on the Mets in a 7 game series. Both play in pitcher's parks, their 6 games have all been pretty close this year (Mets have won 4 of 6, but Pedro had two of those wins. However, the only guy the Padres really touched up was the dear departed Zambrano). Losing Pedro hurts, as it means they have to rely on Trachsel, but I would side with the Padres not having enough firepower to take advantage of Pedro's absence. But it's no lock, the Mets run differential suggests that they aren't as good as their record.Padres = Peavy, Young, Meridith, HoffmanTruckasaurus said:Mets = Reyes, Wright, Delgado, Beltran.San Diego =tommyGunZ said:Mets no longer the team to beat in the NL w/o Pedro.
Nope, it's still the Mets. At this point, being a 100% lock to actually be in the playoffs goes a long way.FYI, Houston is the favorite in the NL as of right now, IMO.
Nope. They'll look great losing close games or having their bullpen blow it for them though.You don't think Oswalt and Clemens have a shot in a 7 game series?The NL playoff teams are a bunch of flawed mediocre teams.
