This is hilarious. Adam Rubin is kind of a douchebag during the whole thing. I understand where Omar was coming from. It is kind of funny that he was looking for a player development position while releasing the story. I felt bad for Omar during this, and Rubin was like "Da fuck?"
minaya's a professional. he wouldnt come out and make blind accusations without an investigation of the issue. i think omar was right about rubin lobbying for the player development position.
To think I was actually excited when this guy took over as G.M. He just has'nt distinguished himself at all. He's brought in a few big names but his plan (assuming he has one) just has'nt worked. The team has not spent wisely and they still have a losing culture. Enough of blaming the hitting coach or injuries. I think we've all seen enough. Time to cut the cord and give someone else a chance.
he's not the joke, the joke are the Wilpons, before Omar signed any player to big contracts, and made big trades, but Omar has to report to Jeff before he makes a trade or offer. Jeff Wilpon is the reason why Omar cant make big deals.
"we had to expedite more the investigation" "he has lobby myself" "when these things came out i was kind of, a little bit, i had to think about it" "and i was a little bit, you know, somewhat, kind of, we gotta find out about this"
Why the hell was a complete psycho like Tony Bernazard working for the team in the first place? It's so obvious, if you're not Spanish Omar does'nt want you but his strategy (assuming he has one) obviously is'nt working. Definitely the most overrated G.M. in all of sports. The team needs new ownership and a complete housecleaning including all the coaches, scouts, front office people and especially the training staff. And how about some Met colors in the new ballpark.
that's not true, you idiot, besides the Mets have one of the best pitchers in Santana and he's Latino so be grateful, Minaya also got Francouer who's white, and he also got K-Rod one of the best closers in baseball and guess what he's Latino TOO!! so stop with the motherfuckin excuses that because you're not Latino he won't sign you. I agree that he needs to go but to say that is not fair.
Okay I guess it's just my imagination that the team has gotten more and more Hispanic every year since he arrived. That's all well and good except the team has been a miserable failure. There is also an obvious divide in the clubhouse between Hispanic and non-Hispanic players that has'nt been addressed. It cost Willie Randolph his job but it seems pretty obvious now thet he was'nt the problem. Calling me an idiot does'nt change the facts.
the only problem is that the Mets management is inept that's all, it's always the same bullshit every year with Minaya that he adresses A PART of the problem but not the WHOLE problem all at once. Also he always adresses the Mets issues on hopes that MAYBE guys like Maine and Ollie Perez (Who stinks by the way) and Delgado stay healthy and have good numbers. That's why the team has been disappointing these few years.
Dismantling what was the best bullpen after 2006, not getting a needed solid starter for 2007, trading Lastings Milledge for two part-time players, not getting bullpen help after Billy Wagner went down mid- season last year, not signing Raul Ibanez, signing Tim Redding over re-signing Pedro Martinez, and then blaming a NY Daily News Writer for helping get the assistant GM fired. Forget the whole favoring Latinos thing. PLEASE FIRE OMAR NOW!
Omar Minaya is just pathetic. An absolute disgrace and an embarrassment to the Mets organization. An embarrassment that nobody else other than the Wilpons would allow to be GM of the the Mets. God it's hard being a Mets fan when you absolutely hate the owners and the GM.
Why do you hate the owners/GM so much? Didn't the Mets just go to playoffs three years ago? Pull your head out of your ass. The Royals haven't gone to the playoffs since 1985. The Pirates haven't gone there or had a winning season since 1992. The Expos had one playoff chance in the 35 years before moving to Washington. The Mets have it pretty good compared to others in Major League Baseball.
Fuck you. I've watched the Pirates go through 17 straight losing seasons. Oh no, you make the playoffs once in a while and have had winning seasons this decade and the only reason the Mets are bad this year are injuries. Wow your owners suck. I don't know how anyone can complain if their team actually makes the playoffs, doesn't trade away the entire team every four years and actually brings players in instead of giving them away. You all are just a bunch of whiners.
he fires tony bernazard when its his fault why this team is the way it is. one thing about the mets is that they dont want to trade any of their prospects. i mean i know its good to keep them in the farm its just that they have like 25 prosspects they dont want to trade. my gosh
who gives a shit about the mets anyway? they are 10 games out. why would rubin want to work for such a garbage organization in the first place. lets go yankees ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! 26 world championships to 2. and buckner had to fuck up in order for you guys to win 1 of them. what joke. ugly new stadium too.
You want something you understand? How about this, the best players in mlb are NOT the american players! When you go see a game, what do you care what language they speak? The only language you should be concerned with is winning. Dummy. THIS IS AMERICA, LEARN SPANISH.!!!!!!! Lets go Yankees!!!!!!!!!! Did you understand that, Bulletface?
This guy should be fired in a ny minute! Also mets owners you are american right? Can we please get some americans on this team? A few more David Wrights Darryl Strawberrys come on guys. Can we get rid of the guys who I can not understand please? If they would not be legal in this country can we leave them in theres and stop bringing them here?PLease trade jose trade carlos trade all them guys who should not be here. I will take minor league americans insted.
WTF?!? Should not be here?! You sound like such a penis! Carlos Beltran is the best offensive player the Mets have, you want to get rid of him because of his ethnicity?! SHUT UP!
go fuck your mother you racist, I'm a die hard Met fan but I wish the Mets would suck every year for you after you put the dumbest comment on the face of the Earth.
What are you talking about? Omar was wrong for what he did. He tried to find away to defend the embarrassment and disgrace that is Tony Bernazard. Even Minaya himself knew he was wrong cuz he apologized afterwards.
wow the media will take ANYTHING and make it into a story...
Minaya was saying that they had to investigate the situation more, knowing that it was possible that the reporter was out for his job. Obviously that's a conflict of interests and is going to be a concern.
I think Omar is doing a fantastic job. Give him another extention! As a Phillies fan, this is the most attention I've paid to the Mets all season. Thank you, Omar!
Bernazard is finally gone, let's get rid of Minaya. Obviously anyone who would keep on a creep like this for so long, because he is a FRIEND, despite his obvious destructive influence, is incompetent beyond repair. There have been too many bonehead decisions made from the top, this is the reason why the Mets look great on paper and yet fail year after year.
Look. I wish the Mets would RID of minaya, bernazard( GREAT HE IS OUT OF HERE), alomar Jr. and Sr., beltran, delgado, reyes, santos, cora, fernandez, feliciano, tatis AND SANTANA. CAN THEY PLEASE GET RID OF THESE guys????? ENOUGH of the FIESTA. Get rid of these guys and bring in players that have fundamentals and play hard at ALL TIMES.
Thi =s has to be one of the dumbest and ignorant post i have read in a long time... get rid the latinos... realy..? Who are u gona play.. David Wright is great, i am a lifelong mets fan but david is the execption. truth is latinos are a allot better and are fundementaly sounder then any american player.... broaden your hoizons my friend and join the rest of the world... or stay white trash.. i dont care.. Mamabicho, pendejo, hijo de puta, Cabron!
i hate him so much and i hope he gets fired at the end of the year. how do u call out a reporter in the middle of a press conference? how the wilpons gave him an extension is unbelievable and its just more money wasted that we could have had to sign more free agents. FIRE OMAR
