thank you Joshua, I was gonna say tghe same thing. Everyone’s like, oooooh i’m not scared. They need more than him. It takes one more than one guy. I really hate Phillies fans. You all are so obsessed with the Mets its scary. Once again, you are more concerned with the Mets than you are your own team, you bunch of stupid idiots.

Oh my God, you people are sooo thick! OBVIOUSLY the mets are not done with their deals…all of you people are like, “oh but they still got to get to the 9th” no SHIT! Omar as we speak is working on getting JJ Putz, and others to get us to the 9th so Krod can close your ass.

And I am gonna laugh next season, because the law of averages states, that lidge will blow a few saves this year..and tehy might be HUGE ones

i love how every other Phillies fan is saying how you arent scared. All this means is the fact that you are scared. You wouldnt be saying it if you werent scared. You all know that the only reason you guys won the division is because Wagner went down. And there is NO WAY your bullpen is gonna repeat their performance of last year.

KM, declining?! Setting the major-league saves record is declining?!

People can talk about the face that his fastball has dropped about 5 MPH, but guess what, that’s because he has thrown his change up, slider and curve ball more that the fastball.

As a young pitcher, he heavily relied on the fastball, now, he is a breaking ball pitcher.

The Mets are lucky they got him to sign a 3 year deal, because he has been slowly declining over the last 3 years.

Also, they have still have to get him the ball with a lead in the 9th, so I am not scared by the move.

We should fear the Braves just as the Mets should have feared us enough to check their ego’s at the door when they were the dominant team in the division.

The thing that made the Braves so strong for so long is even with players with egos, they knew they had to work harder than everyone else to stay at the top which is something that needs to be instilled into our guys like Ryan Howard and Brett Myers.

K-Rod isn’t much of an upgrade over Wagner because he was still an elite closer before his injury. Having K-Rod doesn’t mean you’ll blow less saves, he blows as many saves as anyone and you’ll continue to blow saves in middle-relief and with the set-up guys. My concern was that Minaya would have actually made the smart play and signed Fuentes. K-Rod’s loyalty won’t be to the Mets and it will hurt you just as it did with Wagner but the Heilman’s and Feliciano’s (who I thinks one of the best lefty relievers in the game) will continue to take the blame when it’s really bad scouting and poor investments from Minaya that has stopped the Mets from dominating the NL East. If the Mets really want to turn the table on the Phillies they should be looking at adding support peices, we’ll all agree you have great stars but it’s almost always how your support guys who hold the team together that determines those crucial few extra wins or losses.

That’s why I say K-Rod doesn’t matter because there’s only so much he can do, there’s a reason Brad Lidge bought his fellow relievers diamond watches on his dime.

I completely forgot the Mets still have to sign 2 starters unless they’re going to bring guys from the dilapitated farm system. Their rotation is Santana, Pelfrey, Jon Niese, and what Aaron Heilman is now in the rotation? Thats going to mean LOTS of innings for the leagues worst bullpen and an overworked K-Rod.

The Braves haven’t done anything, what Javier Vasquez is going to strike fear into people? He’s been on 3 teams in 3 years, something tells me he’s had problems everywhere else.
