<p>I hate to tell you this but the Mets are not very attractive, in fact they’re not even <a href="http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/apr2009/4/7/susan-boyle-pic-rex-612711520.jpg">Susan Boyle homely</a>, but they are close to approaching <a href="http://scrapbia.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/rd.jpg">Rocky Dennis hideousness</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stop kidding yourselves Mets fans, before you can contend for a title, a team must first become competitive. As I wrote yesterday afternoon on my Twitter account while all hell was breaking lose in baseball, “The Phillies are not the Mets rival, the Nationals are”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can talk about Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran playing at 100 % health and David Wright bouncing back from whatever bit him in his ass latest season and the fact the Johan Santana pitches every fifth day, the Mets are no closer to the Phillies today than the Earth is to the sun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The easy thing to do is scream that Omar Minaya sucks, and he just might suck as a GM but lets face facts, if you are a player like Roy Halladay, John Lackey or even Jason Bay or Matt Holliday why would you want to play for the Mets? Those players want to play for winning teams and to tell you the truth I commend them for giving the Mets their ass to kiss, as they know how desperate the Mets are and would have to pay more money to them than the Phillies in Halladay’s case and the Red Sox in Lackey’s case but both players went to teams that are not just winners and contenders but have management in place that is both intelligent and creative, two qualities the Mets will never be associated with.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone throughout baseball knows that Jeffey Skill Sets is the reason that this organization has a big “Kick Me” sign on it’s back. It is crystal clear that the biggest mistake the Skill Sets have made this off season was not firing Omar Minaya and Jerry Manuel because let’s face it, both of these guys are as good as gone. The Skill Sets could have hired a progressive baseball man like Jed Hoyer or gone after Gerry Hunsicker from Tampa or solid baseball men like Tom Kelley and Terry Ryan in Minnesota or even bring back Bobby Valentine who, love him or hate him, Valentine would not have let the Mets wallow in self pity as Jerry Manuel did last year or let them get away with playing “I couldn’t give a fuck baseball”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At the expense of sounding like a broken record nothing with the organization gets accomplished until Jeffey Skill Sets and David (The Syster) Howard take a back seat from the baseball operation. Both of these clueless dolts are the 1 and 1a entry on what’s wrong with the Mets as they are out of touch with what it takes to be a winning organization and what it takes to keep your customers happy. Winning and customers two things you won’t be seeing at $iti Field next season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/11/2010-top-50-free-agents.html">Tim Dierkes of MLBTrade Rumors </a>has a post of the predicted whereabouts the top 50 Free Agents will land.  His number one rank Free Agent is Matt Holliday has he sees the Mets making a big time signing here by going 5 to 6 yrs and over $100mil to land the coveted LF’er. This is in contrast with the <a href="http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/10336974/Padres-only-open-to-dealing-stars-for-right-price">Ken Rosenthal who had this in a column this weekend</a>:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>The thought of free-agent left fielder Matt Holliday signing with the Mets is good for a chuckle. Some who know Holliday say he would prefer not to play in New York. Also, his power to right-center makes him a poor fit for Citi Field. The Mets would not be so desperate to upgrade in left if Fernando Martinez had justified talk that he might be a left-handed Manny Ramirez &#8230;</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hey Ken , who’s Holiday’s agent ? Scott Bora$ right? Bora$ will have Holiday sign with the Tehran Burkamakers if the price is right. Who’s your source on this one, the same source who told you that no way C.C. Sabathia would never come to New York, Money talks, and bullshit is employed by FOX, dickhead.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dierkes also puts Randy Wolf and Brad Penny in Mets Blue and Orange. Wolf I can see but Brad Penny? Unless it’s to work as a bouncer at the Acela Club I don’t see it.</p>
