Hi all i'm flying in to New York in October for the end of season series against Washington.

It would be great if afew of us from here could get together for 1 or 2 of the games of the series if not atleast meet for a drink on one of the nights.

Lets go Mets

What are people expecting from the series starting today against the Marlins?

I think the Mets need to win atleast 2 0f the 3 and i think they will win all 3 to get the season off to a good start.

Todays duel betwwen Santana and  Johnson should be a great showdown as Johnson has shown how good he is especially against the mets!

I have been thinking long and hard about how the Mets are going to do in 2010. I m very optimistic and thought it would be fun to see how everyone thinks the NL East will finish up.

1st Phillies 96-66

2nd Mets 92-70

3rd Braves 86-76

4th Marlins 84-78

5th Nationals 69-93

The 2009 season is finally over. Now we can start to look forward to the trade talk adn free agancy signings.

So who should stay on the Mets roster for 2010 and who should go?

Who should the Mets use as trade chips?

Who is best suited to fill the holes on the team?

The schedule is out for next year. Doesnt look to bad for the Mets in interleague play. Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit and Minnesota isn't a bad set of series.

7 games at home to finish the season is a good way to end, especially when the final 3 are against the Nationals.

I hear that the Cubs are going to shop Zambrano in the off season. I know he has had a few injuries this season and can be very mad and crazy, but i think he would be a perfect pick up for the Mets to follow Santana in the rotation.

Move Maine to the pen and go with a rotation of

Santana

Zambrano

Pelfrey

Perez

Neise.

The Mets must start to think about 2010 seriously now. Especially now they have said that Omar and Jerry are definatly comin back next year.

They should move Beltran to left field it will help his knees and injuries and he can concentrate on hitting. They could keep Pagan at centre field and use him as a lead-off man or trade for Upton or Crawford both would be perfect for Citifield.

There is alot of speculation and rumors and even wishes on who should be managing the Mets in 2010.

The most popular names being thrown around are:

Bobby Valentine

Wally Backman

Ryne Sandberg

Tony LaRussa

Lets try and lighten the mood amoungst Mets fans. Lets all pick our All-Time Mets team.

See how many of the same players we come up with.

I think now it is safe to say that the Mets are out of winning the division and out of getting into the wildcard hunt.

I can't see any of the injured players coming back soon and i don't expect to get that much out of them when they do come back.

So it's time to plan and build for next season and there are alot of holes to fill.
