They are OK with this, but get upset about the fact that the walls aren't blue and orange. Doc's signature should mean more than some Mets logo on the right field wall. So what if you don't see it, just know that it's there.

There are streets named after Pete Rose in Cincinnati for god sake. Yes this is a shame.

Why don't they just cover it up with some glass, frame it, make it look nice. Everybody can say "I remember when Doc did this". This is nothing new, alot of you must have never been in restaurants where celebrities frequent. These establishments actually ENCOURAGE autographs on the walls. Random people don't just go signing on there, why here?

They say they are willing to address this, so thats OK. However they do need to re-evaluate the way they treat former players a'la Doc Gooden etc. As an African American, I have the utmost respect for Jackie Robinson but lets have something out there for "our guys". Leave Doc's "graffiti" out there, it was a memorable day for him and for plenty of fans who hadn't seen him in Queens in years. I was there on Opening Day...Citi is a state of the art facility and should be treated as such. But lets start paying our respects to the guys who built Mets' Legacy and not necessarily a guy who never even put the uniform on. love the name btw!

We don't have anybody in our rotation besides Johan who can say that. In fact, Livan is the only other pitcher in the rotation with an era below 7. We've scored 49 Runs to their 45 Runs, scoring is not the issue. You have to point to the SP for the poor start as compared to their red hot start. If we get better starts from Pelfrey, Maine, and Ollie, we'll start rolling. Starting pitching has to be the biggest worry right now.

We'd win more games if the offense didn't have to score 6 runs to get a win every night. Need Pelf and Maine to be who we expect them to be. I've already given up on Ollie showing any form of consistency.

Horrible move, the Wilpons have no respect for Mets history. Im starting to think that the only reason they love Piazza is because he started as a Dodger....

Lets try harder not to alienate great former players next time....ok?

The pull hitting is leading to all these strikeouts we're seeing from him. You think they'll try to let him work through it before moving him down? I wanted Beltran in the 3 hole from the start to be honest. Its weird, Wright seems like a totally different player with RISP. He can get on leading off pretty well but it looks like he's trying to do too much as soon as you get a man on second.

Its ridiculous, we all knew this would be a problem. Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:04:42 +0000 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/19/news-figueroa-dfad/#IDComment19395870 http://www.metsblog.com/2009/04/19/news-figueroa-dfad/#IDComment19395431 I totally agree with you with flip flopping Wright and Beltran. Only thing is, with Wright struggling right now, teams can pitch around Delgado more. Beltran is protecting Delgado well right now. I think Jerry watched them rake in the WBC in this same lineup order and decided to carry it over when they got back, and it has worked.

Since he has been DFA'd he been dropped from the 40 man and now has to clear waivers to get placed back into our minor league system. Thats my understanding anyway.

Not sure when he'll be MLB ready though.

I was wondering how they were gonna clear out space for Redding when he was ready to go. Looks like Fossum might be the stand in until he is ready.
