Paul,

Nice article. As always, I’m a positive, happy Mets fan right now. I’m looking forward to the start of the season and think that good things will happen this year. Sure, the Braves are stupid, but it’s gonna hurt them more than it does us by not getting Lowe.

I still think we should have gone after Texiera, however

Doug, I’m not faulting the Mets for not going four. I’m faulting the Braves for doing so. Because they took away a potential good move by the Mets and turned it into a bad one for themselves. Lowe’s going to play for a mediocre team for at least the next couple of years, the Mets have to get a lesser pitcher, the Braves pay all this money to still lose. Again, Boras wins.

And Doug, I wouldn’t say that Sheets’ injury history is overrated. There’s a reason why no team is touching him right now. There’s too much of a gap between his potential upside and his actual production/health. They’re afraid of just paying for that upside but ending up with his actual.

This Mets fan is not crying! Losing Lowe was a blow, but I would much rather have Sheets and Perez. Sheet’s injury problems are over rated and Perez we know can handle NYC.

Don’t get me wrong I wanted Lowe, just not at 4 years.

Uhhh, moo-ha-ha-haaaaa???

(As a Braves fan, I’m not too thrilled about signing, either. Four Lowe years for $60M? No thanks. I’ll just take a salad.)

it really ain’t that hard to make a Mets fan cry these days, is it? easier than making them fall off an escalator.

(ohhhh! too soon?)
