Tell me this Blair, what exactly is your argument then? Your quote was the following:

"I'm just saying that these people and/or teams clamoring for Barry Zito, claiming they are the best thing in sports since the invention of the jock strap....."

What is this based on? Your opinion? Do you have anything to support such a claim, or is it your practice to write articles based on opinions and post them as fact? I find it humorous that you would make such a vague statement as the one above, title it "Screw You, New York Mets" then be surprised by the backlash.

I beg you to provide sources that show where the Mets or "Mets people" claimed that Zito should go to NY because they are winners and TX isn't. If your anger is directed at the NY media, it has some validity. But the NY media is a far different animal than the Mets organization and its players.

"Todd Maternowski Staff I'm not saying the Mets are a bad team... heck, with a few lucky breaks here and there, they might even be a .500 team in the AL. They've got some talent, for sure... enough, probably, to take an AL team to five or even six games before losing the series. And really, that would be a tremendous victory for Mets fans everywhere. "

These would all be great arguments if a NL team didn't win the World Series.

If you guys could contradict yourself some more that would be great...

Enough of this... to quote yet another intelligent Texan, George W. Bush:

I have work I need to get back to in order to pay the bills, and "to help put food on my family."

BTW..

Odibe McDowell called and asked you to stop talking. You are embarassing his family name...

"Face it: the Mets got 97 wins playing against the Brewers and Cubs"

The Mets got 97 wins facing 2 teams not in their division? OK I guess... So with that logic, the Rangers reached the impressive amount of 80 wins by beating the likes of KC, Tampa Bay, Cleveland, and Baltimore? I'm sorry I don't have more examples as those happen to be the only teams in the entire AL with the exception of Seattle that finished with a worse record than the Rangers.
