Because we love the game. Players and managers come and go.

Nope.

We don't know the circumstances. We are not in the clubhouse.

Bowden and Exposito DFA'd, Lin sent down

Agreed. I would have kept Bowden. -
Fans cheer the players. Managers should be kicking them in the ass. It works.

Sure, he'll apologize. This way the press puts it behind them and the controversy is over, but the message has been delivered. The message from BV to Youk: Hey, I don't think you are all that. Let me see what you got.

First of all, I never once compared Tito to other managers with regard to how often he left in pitchers for 7 runs. I don't care how often other managers do it. It is a stupid move. Next, I really don't think very highly of Maddon as a manager either, so what point are you trying to make that Tito wasn't much worse than Maddon. Maddon is a guy who submitted a lineup with 2 third baseman and lost his DH because of it. He has never been able to motivate BJ Upton's lazy ass. No, I don't think much of Maddon either.

That has to be the only reason. It is a good life to be able to throw a baseball left handed. You'll never be unemployed. -
I view it as motivation. Negative motivation can be just as motivating, maybe moreso with highly motivated people. If you tell a highly motivated person that they can't do something, they will get it done faster and better than if you pat them on the back. Yes, I think this will work.

I don't think this will cause any problem. Youk is a tremendously motivated player. In my experience in coaching, I found that a well cast barb in the direction of the more highly motivated players (and workers for that matter), could help focus them more and push them to a new level, if for no other reason than to prove the coach wrong. That's where I see this going. BV said this to jump start Youk. We'll see if it works. If Youk doesn't like it, WTF is he gonna do about it.

That's right. Joba is not white trash. He's red trash.

I don't think he will ever be MLB ready.

If Ells was going to be out for the entire seasin, getting Bay would be a decent option. The Mets would have to eat a lot of salary. However, if Ells is coming back, he really doesn't have a place to play. Crawford will be in LF, and Bay would not bee very good in RF.
