- talked about murph for a while, duke grew up as a red sox fan but still had fond memories of murph! - defended the 2 trades for benson and zambrano (of course), said he thought benson and especially zambrano could be top of the rotation starters! - said kazmir was a good kid and will be a good pitcher when he gets to the majors, said he could be a starter or reliever! - said they want to sign benson but they want to see how he pitches in new york before they think of signing him, they might let him walk if he doesn't pitch good and said they will sign a starter in the offseason if benson doesn't work out! - duke said the mets want to re-sign hidalgo and will definitely buyout his contract and try to sign him to a lesser deal! - the mets will definitely look at signing a big time slugger to bat in the middle of the lineup, magglio ordonez is a possibility! - mike piazza will probably play first base full time next season, says piazza is slump is longer then his usual ones but isn't concerned, they might move him down in the order if he continues to struggle! - was pissed at mad dog for the interview he did with rick peterson yesterday, said when he see's russo again he will tell him off, he said it was a joke and was uncalled for, man he has it out for russo, GOOD! - liked what david wright has been doing, says he is playing nervous but thinks everything will be alright with him! - says they haven't talked about moving reyes to shortstop and kaz to 2nd base yet, they might do it in the offseason but nothing is set in stone, he's surprised at kaz's play at short but thinks he is getting better (yeah right)! - he hasn't given up on the season yet and thinks the mets can still make a run saying the mets still have 8 games remaining against the braves! good interview, duke was very candid and was very straight forward, beningo was asking some excellent questions and told him how he felt about the team, excellent interview by both men!!! |

russo got on peterson a little for the trades and saying how come he couldn't turn around pitchers like seo, ginter, yates, moreno, etc., he was a little disrespectful towards peterson but not that much! duke was really upset about it, he said that russo did the same thing to him and he doesn't like it and said he was going to talk to russo about it the next time he see's him!!! |

Russo is such an a§shole. I don't even wanna bother to get into it. If I were gonna make fun of "Beached whale w/ titties and the Fruit Cake w/ puberty voice" it would take me too long. I don't like Phil Mushnik, but I love the fact that he hates them. He tries to point out every mistake and every subtle thing. Its too bad that he doesn't get enough attention. I'd love to see them clowns get ripped on a larger forum. |

He's disrespectful towards everyone that he speaks to. Mr. High and Mighty thinks he knows more than everyone. What an a-hole. |

Retard. Peterson isnt god, some people just ant pitch and its obvious, how is he supposed to fix that. Benson has been outstanding for 6 weeks And you all know trhe stats about Zambrano How do they end up in the same class as the minimally talented Matt Ginter and Jae Seo??? |

exactly, people think that he can fix anybody and mention guys like seo, ginter, moreno, erickson, baldwin, heilman, etc., well all those those guys besides moreno are garbage, i didn't know peterson can turn any pitcher into a superstar!!! |

If the Mets plan on re-signing Hidalgo, how will they also sign Ordonez? Don't they both play RF? :think: |

Magglio would play LF, Hidalgo has the better arm. |

that too but he said last night that he expects floyd to finish out his contract with the mets, now that could all just be bullsh*t but you don't want the lineup to be too righthanded, it's hard to find a lefthanded power bat these days!!! |
