Lot of Mets fans were more than happy with Beltran Usually we agree on most things but I gotta disagree with this. I’m not saying people hated the Beltran hiring but I think it’s fair today many wanted Girardi and not because of name recognition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another golden opportunity to point out that watching a baseball game is almost as agonizing as accidentally stepping on a yellow jacket nest. I live in Florida. Got invited to a Spring training game last year. I made it until the bottom of the third... then had to get outta there. First time I tried to watch in 20 years. Maybe in another 20? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I remember his mistakes with the Yankees, the lousy job with the bullpen, alienating Sanchez, one WS win with 10 really good Yankee teams while being a pain in the ass, making no friends in management. Hes smart and handles the press well. Guessing he would command respect in the locker at the start. Id rather have Showlater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is my favorite. Hockey probably 2nd. I have no problem going to Port St Lucie, Jupitor or WPB for spring training games. Hot as balls in the sun though. I've been watch the Amazing Mets since that first championship run, spent many days in the stands of Shea with my late father. He was a huge fan from the days of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Was so much fun watching that team go on its improbable run. I get that its slow. But for the lazy days of summer?

I never watch until the playoffs... but it is the best spectator sport IMO. The sport has everything. Crazy fast action. A nice flow to the game with limited interruption/choppiness. And the way the close games end are fantastic! A furious flurry of trying to equalize, pulling the goalie, etc. I also love futbol, aka soccer (I hate that word.) I know people think that sport is slow... and admittedly some matches are... but it has many of the same qualities of hockey. The sports move and flow similarly. How it often takes the perfect pass, and/or something clever and creative to break down the opposition on an odd-man rush. Teams working the puck/ball around the blue line or the 18 yard box... looking for enough space and the right time to strike. Just the skates and line changes allow one to move much faster. But both are beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got into a debate with a Brit who thought Americans were pricks for naming the game soccer, should change the name of football to some other name given how the games are played. Until I pointed out to him that American football came way before soccer, already was in existence when soccer was introduced to the world. American Football was here first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I respect your opinion Not sure, they have hired experience managers like Colins and quite a few others, and first timers like Beltran. First timers are a definite trend in all of baseball right now. Look at the Yankees, Boston, Dodgers, etc all hired first time managers Think its all on the managers and abilities, not whether they're experienced or not. We've seen that trend in other sports, like football too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me be clear, every player who knew about this should also face punishment. But Beltran as a Coach now was 100% untenable for the Mets and the Mets know it.

That is neither making a stake of "Guilty" or "innocent", nor if he should be managing. MLB did not do a good job of saying what players were all involved, nor what the involvement was. They probably purposefully were not clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
