A Mets fan watches Omar Minaya

Other blogs will do (and probably already have since I’m watching this at about 9pm) a better job recapping Omar on Hot Stove, so I thought I’d just do my Mystery Science Theater 3000 version…

…how many times is he gonna say “bottom line” and “full autonomy.”  The bottom line is that he has full autonomy and that’s the bottom line which is that he has full autonomy.

Did he really just say “when you’re able to bring in a Henry Blanco?”   Am I a fool that is unfamiliar with Mr. Blanco’s resume?  I mean he did hit 7 points abouve his career .228 average last year.

Burkhardt is doing a good job going right at it, such as saying that the Jeff said the Mets would be about pitching and defense.  Now Omar is telling us how Bay is an upgrade in left.  I mean, I guess it’s better than having me out there, I guess.   “I believe Daniel Murphy is going to get better at first.”  So the improved defense is Bay and hope.  Awesome.

“We identified John Lackey as a difference maker.”   Yeah…and…..? (no answer and Kevin didn’t chase it)

The old line about how the Mets were picked to go to the World Series last year.  (I was one of those guys.  It’s a year later, I’m allowed to see things differently.  I also thought the 1987 Mets would make it).

Hahaha he just said “the Japanese Guy” – if he’s going to do it, I’m going to unretire my “Japanese J.J. Putz” joke.

Yeah!!! Kevin just called him on “that’s alot of ifs” (paraphrasing).   You go Burkhardt!

Kevin asked if he fears for his job if the Mets start slow.  Omar’s initial response was a big grin and “I have a three year contract” before he caught himself and said something about NYC demanding winning.   He ain’t going nowhere and he knows it.

As Omar media appearances go this wasn’t the worst

What did y’all think?
