You can't give away players. I think the Rios thing had a lot to do with it. That, plus his handling of Halladay this trade deadline.

As did Koskie's contract, Thomas's contract, Hinske's contract, Burnett's contract, Ryan's contract, not being able to draft.

Yeah but the contracts, even inflated were gambles that didn't pan out. Not good, but they are nothing like making the franchise look terrible to the team's fans and to baseball in general. Rios and Halladay's handling did that.
He was junk. |

Yeah, Ricciardi probably had it coming to him when he was playing puppetmaster at the trade deadline with Halladay. Or was it letting Alex Rios go for nothing?
I hear Kevin Towers is on his way out of San Diego..... |

lol considering how well Rios has done in Chicago it's probably one of the few good moves he made.

Dodgers are not a team built for the playoffs at all. Regardless of what happens doesn't make much difference, IMO.

At least if the Tigers do collapse, they can take the collapse sting away from the Mets the last two years

Apparently if the Tigers lose tomorrow and the Twins win...it'd be the first collapse of all time with a 3 game lead with 4 to play.

LOts of players are saying really good things about J.P. Richardi. Pretty much a mutiny in the clubhouse over Cito Gaston though. What ashit way to end the year, coupled with 2 losses (so far) to Baltimore. Not going to be ahappy ending to the year. It was looking good with 9 wins out of 10 and a major league leading amount of HRs and stuff of that nature.

Bobby Valentine is reportedly in talks with the Marlins about "a position". Loria is pissed that the Marlins didn't make the postseason despite 87 wins.
Ugh it would be one final kick in the crotch if Bobby V signs with the Marlins. Jerry Manuel is a likable guy but if the Mets don't have the money to spend to fill all of their holes next year, I'd much sooner trust Bobby to get more out of young guys or middle of the road players. |

I'd say Bobby is the perfect guy to help fix the Mets. Let Freddi Gonzalez finish what he's started in Florida.

Nice, Nelson Figueroa tosses a complete game shutout after having awful luck all September despite pitching well. Mets bounce back from their sweep by the Nationals and sweep the Astros to end at 70-92.
When Wright and Santana went down in late August, I didn't think they'd even be able to make it to 70 wins. So it's a good note to end on. Bring on 2010. I'll probably do a "Season Wrap-Up" post at some point. |

Twins are 6 outs away from forcing a tiebreaker, which will be played on Tuesday due to the NFL getting the building on Monday.
The Yanks are expected to choose Schedule A and start on Wednesday. If you believe in momentum going into the playoffs, that could actually be an advantage for the Central winner, not even having to wait a full day for the next game. |

I was really pulling for the Twins to take the division so the Yanks can avoid Verlander but it really doesn't matter to me anymore. If anything, the Twins might be harder since they're on such a hot streak while the Tigers are stumbling. |

Also, pretty crazy game for A-Rod today. 2 Hrs and 7 RBIs in one inning to get to 30 HRs-100 RBIs for something like the 12th straight year.
