It was a smile not a laughing emoticon. Report back with your findings. I'm interested. My Mets sources have never said that there has been a problem, and they are the guys that run the Meet and Greets.
-
No freakin way. I want the Rays to catch you guys and send you home for October.
-
I hope you can get to the bottom of it.

I didn't make the accusation, so why would I provide any proof? It is a fact that the accusations have been made in the press. Are they valid? I wouldn't know, and I know people that work for the Mets. Nevertheless, reputable members of the press have reported these things, so it's not crazy for a poster to refer to them and maybe even take them at face value.

neither of us would know, because we are not in the clubhouse. Teddyballgame is not off base raising these issues, because they have been put out there by the NY press.
-
I didn't write the articles. I just read them. According to the articles and reports on Sports Talk Radio, there is apparently friction with regard to the language issue.
-
There have been articles that the white players like Wright feel put upon because they have to do too many public relations meet and greets because of the language issue.

I didn't say that I agreed with the accusation. I think de facto discrimination cases are BS, so I don't know why you would be claiming victory. I think that without evidence of discriminatory intent there is no discrimination, which is why Rosenthal's accusation was bogus. I am just saying that teddyballgames statement on a message board was not so outrageous as it embodies the state of the law on de facto discrimination. I disagree with the state of the law.

Is Fernando Nieve Irish? What about Angel Pagan? Omir Santos? Alex Cora? Argenis Reyes? Ramon Martinez? Ollie Perez for $36 million? Ramon Castro? Angel Berroa? nelson Figueroa? This goes much further than any accusation that I would have made. I think this goes to the heart of de facto discrimination. What if I were to ask you whether discrimination was at work because white players felt more comfortable with the Red Sox's white FO and vice versa? I didn't find teddyballgames statement on a message board to be so outrageous, especially when a respected member of the press, Rosenthal made a similar accusation against the Red Sox for being too white.

There is a thing called de facto racism. Even though Minaya gives no indication that he is a racist, the Mets do have more Hispanic players than most teams. Some of those acquisitions have been very ill-advised. He's signed some old injured guys to long term contracts like Castillo. No one wanted him.

Adrien Gonzalez is an excellent hitter, our first baseman, third baseman and DH are hitting now. The LF is hitting .250 and the RF is hitting .240. Our SS are sub-standard offensively and our CF has little pop. I don't see how Adrien Gonzalez helps us. -
Didn't the Mets have this O'Day guy earlier in the season?
-
WTF is wrong with JD Drew. Is he going to be a $14 million .240 hitter?
-
Halladay can win games with 2 runs. Smoltz can't go more than 5 without giving up a crooked number.
-
Get Doc
-
He's an old man with a surgically repaired shoulder and reduced velocity. Let's stop kidding ourselves with this guy. Powerless Salty shows some power as he takes Smoltz out to Center Field.
-
This one is starting to slip away. The 3rd time through the order they are realizing he has nothing. He can't dominate anymore. He doesn't have the life in his arm. It's gone with his youth.
-
Imiss seeing him hit every night.
-
I don't know why so many Sox fans on this site pant over Salty. He hits worse than an over the hill Varitek and he has never demonstrated any power despite playing in a very homer friendly venue. Edit: Dipre will now post that he has 6 HRs to prove that saying he has never demonstrated power is an overstatement.
