Not even sure it’s better than under Littlefield. Record wise, it’s a 9 game improvement in 5 years, but after a complete torching of what few assets they had, for very little in return. The John Russell teams were beyond pitiful.

“It’s hard to distinquish yourself as a pitcher when the team fielding behind you should have chico’s bail bonds on the back of their jerseys. ”

Got to be the quote of the year!

Well, at least when the inevitable new regime comes in, with the focus on doing things system wide and fundamentals, it’ll be the third time in a row.

If you watched the game you would know that if Locke had any kind of defense behind him the Mets would have been out after 3 batters in the third. It’s hard to distinquish yourself as a pitcher when the team fielding behind you should have chico’s bail bonds on the back of their jerseys.

Ok, one more time for those who have not been paying attention…

Just because we suck less today than we did in the past DOES NOT MEAN THE CURRENT STAFF IS GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO!!!!

For the amount of money and high draft picks we should be much better. Our players who come up through the system are NOT fundamentally sound. The MLB team is “what our record says it is” – under .500. The minors have very few drafted prospects outside the 1st round.
Yes we are better today than under Littlefield, but that’s because it couldn’t get any worse.

I think Jon Lester of the Red Sox could be the Burnett of 2013.

They built a team that was 16 games over .500 two-thirds of the way through the season. That was no accident. Things are much better for the entire organization than they were when Huntington took over the craterous rubble left by Littlefield.

compared to Russell, Hurdle was Billy F-ing Martin. but this team is only going to go as far as the pitching will take them. if we luck out with another Burnett type of aquisition and a youngster steps up in 2013, barring injury this team can make an even better push than 2012
