19, between Wyoming and Fresno State. However, none of the top 25 teams will see action until Dec. 22, and for Texas and Alabama, the NationalChampionship game is not until Jan. 7.For the players and coaches on Texas and Alabama, the wait is exactly 33 days. Although you can make the argument it gives players time to rest and recover from injuries suffered during the regular season, as well as coaches to prepare the perfect game plan, it's simply too long. After playing more than three months of football at game speed, to take a month off hurts the players mentally Keith Urban tickets and physically. Their routines are broken and you can not replace game speed with practice speed. I would propose a two week break or simply a bye week. What do you thinkSound off.... New York Mets GM Omar Minaya is on the hot seat this winter and for the 2010 season.

He is under the microscope this winter to "make a deal" that signifies to the Mets Keith Urban fans base that the organization is committed to winning in 2010.Minaya will also be highly scrutinized in the spring, summer and fall of 2010, because the team he oversees has not made the playoffs since advancing to the 2006 NLCS.In that thrilling series, the Mets lost to the St. Louis Cardinals on their own home field in Game Seven.That season marked the only time under Minaya's reign that the Mets made the playoffs. In fact, the Mets have made the playoffs only once since their 2000 World Series appearance.The low point under the Minaya regime came last season when they finished mired in fourth place with a 70-92 record, 23 games behind their chief rival Philadelphia Phillies.The Phillies went to their second straight World Series, where they lost to the tickets for Honda Civic Tour New York Yankees...the Mets other Pitbull tickets chief rival, if only for respect within the same city.Many people blamed last season on injuries, David Wright's power outage and/or adjusting to their new stadium.I say it is mostly the GM and his method of maneuvering. I have said before and will say again that Minaya is the worst GM in baseball and goes for the big headline deals instead of building from within.Signing Carlos Beltran, Pedro Martinez, Billy Wagner, Moises Alou, Luis Castillo, Oliver Perez and Francisco Rodriguez Pitbull while trading young players for Carlos Delgado, Johan Santana and Brian Schneider/Ryan Church.All tickets for Pitbull these big money free agents and trades for established stars has resulted in absolutely nothing but two September collapses and one Keith Urban ticket post season appearance in nine years.Now all the Met fans, media and bloggers are saying the Mets need to go down this road once again and sign a power bat for left field, two starting pitchers, and maybe a first baseman.They say that the definition of stupid is doing the same moronic thing over and over again, expecting to get different results. But that is exactly what the Mets, via their GM, are doing this offseason.Minaya has made a four-year, $63 million offer to free agent LF Jason Bay (whom Minaya once traded away), and is expected to Honda Civic Tour ticket go after right-handed pitchers Joel Pineiro or Jason Marquis.Both veteran free agent pitchers are expected to command (at minimum) three year deals for over $30 million.That is almost $100 million on players who WILL NOT help the Mets win in 2010 or beyond.Minaya will continue to spend other people's money because it is the easiest thing to do, and his job is on the line.He is not interested in the long term well-being of the franchise, but in saving his own reputation so when he does finally get fired by the Mets, he will be able to land another job within baseball.What the Mets need to do is not sign more overpriced free agents, but to build the new team around their new expansive stadium with pitching, defense, and speed.Bay is not the best fielder in the world, and has been supported by the Green Monster in Fenway the Honda Civic Tour last year and a half.Not having to worry about balls being hit over your head makes the job much easier. I wonder how Bay would fare in Citi Field's expansive outfield.But Minaya and the Mets hierarchy are just spinning wheels as Bay will never sign with the Mets.
Bay and his agent are using the New York market to coax another year and more money from other teams.He has other suitors in Boston and Seattle, plus a few other teams desperate for a bat like the Los Angeles Pitbull ticket Angels (to replace Vladimir Guerrero) and maybe San Francisco (to protect Pedro Sandoval).But the Mets would be foolish to sign a big name free agent. One of the reasons they floundered last season after the injury bug hit (the bug was so big, it makes the swine flu look weak and pitiful), was that the Mets system had no ready replacements for the injured players.With all those seasons of Minaya signing other teams high-priced players, the Mets have lost first-round picks in 2007 (signing tickets for Keith Urban Wagner) and 2008 (signing Alou).To add insult to injury, the player the arch-rival Honda Civic Tour tickets Phillies signed in 2007 was Kyle Drabek, their highly sought after top starting pitcher prospect. Those teams are two of the six major league teams which have made the playoffs in three of the last five seasons.The other teams are the Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox, and St Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals and Red Sox are especially good at getting quality, winning players via the trade route.The Cardinals picked up Adam Wainwright, Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds, Matt Holliday, and Mark DeRosa via trades while the Red Sox recent run included trade acquisitions Jason Varitek, Mike Lowell, Josh Beckett, Jason Bay, and Victor Martinez.These acquisitions are IN ADDITION to having a core group of homegrown players.As usual with teams which run for many years at the top, the cores were developed within.
