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.

Did Kay scream: "that is one of the greatest games you will ever see!!!!"
-
A walkoff Yankee classic against the last place team in July?
-
If you notice, you never see me and Doji in the same post. Coincidence?
-
He started the next to last game of the season for the Twins against the Sox in 1967 and blew out his elbow around the 4th inning.
-
I liked Jim Kaat doing color for the Sox over the weekend. That sticks it to the Yanks a bit.
-
Singleton was saying that he never touched the plate, but he clearly did. The onle question was whether Coke got his leg before he hit the plate. He missed his entire upper body as he went by.
-
Where did he get him, because Coke was flailing away at the upper body and looked to be fanning?
