• I think there's no denying now that Omar Minaya is a racist against both whites and blacks. That wouldn't be a problem at all if he built a team that was any good. But as it is, the Mets BLOW! Omar needs to lose his job. Bring in Buck Showalter. That's the smart move.

• Here is an awesome trade that works for both sides: A-Rod for David "Strikeout King" Wright. The Yankees also agree to eat $50M from A-Rod's contract. A-Rod gets a fresh start with the Mets. He also automatically becomes the team leader, which he desperately wants to do. No more being in Derek Jeter's shadow. The Mets get the best player in baseball not named Pujols.

• Here's another possible trade: A-Rod for Jose Reyes. Yankees also eat $50M from A-Rod's contract. Reyes plays shortshop and Derek "Limited Range" Jeter moves to 3rd. A-Rod would move back to SS, his natural position, for the Mets.
