Hojo's Mojo points out another thing aside from that:
- Los Angeles Dodgers - Baltimore Orioles - Boston Red Sox - New York Yankees - Tampa Bay Devil Rays
noreply@blogger.com (Tony Arnoldine) also takes into account the following fact:
Knicks granted exclusive window to negotiate with ... Report: Indians agree to trade Victor Martinez to ... Twins trade for Orlando Cabrera, bolster offense a...
As a result of that, JamesK belives:
well done and superior to the rubbish produced by Bart Hubbuch at the New York Post. It is not Rubin's writing I'm calling into question here - it's his previous contact with Wilpon. Asking for pointers on how to break into the baseball business seems like questionable behavior at best and a minor breach of ethics at worst. Would it be appropriate for a New York Times reporter interviewing Barack Obama to ask for tips on how to enter the world of politics? How about a Wall Street Journal writer asking Warren Buffett how to start a successful financial services firm? No, of course not. Especially if the conversation is kept from the public and not documented in the published work. Such discussion could influence coverage of the subject (either positively or negatively) and give the impression to the public that treatment of the subject is biased.
Matthew Cerrone brings more details:
this just took a fascinating turn i have never heard of anything like this, which is about to make national attention, i would think, in terms of sports and media
dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer) imagines that:
The reporters will all jump to Rubin's side--that's fine--they are banding together. But I'm actually on Omar's side here
JamesK brings some great news:
The Mets cannot point fingers at journalists who inquire about career choices. The Mets are the majority owners of SNY and one of their top rated shows is Daily News Live where Adam is a semi regular as is a dozen other Daily News journalists.
Similarly, JamesK adds:
yeah it could create a little bias but i think it pales in comparison to all the other opportunity for bias to creep in when a beat reporter covers a team. reporters write favorable stories about players to stay on their good side so they ll give them good quotes. thats way worse, in my opinion, and it acknowledged to happen all the time. plenty of other things like that go one with beat writers, of all varieties.
Matthew Cerrone comes with a new idea:
2009_believe says: July 27, 2009 at 11:23 pm come on i hope some of the comments here are not people defending omar, that was a real low-blow and he will not survive it. You do not call out somebody in a public forum like that accusing them of lobbying for a job. The stories are obviously true and there have been quotes from guys that nobody likes Tony B that story about him yelling in front of the scout were confirmed and K-Rod confirmed that he had an altercation with Tony. Therefore Tony should have been fired (there is also the issue of nobody in the minors was developed enough to step in and fill any of these voids when players started getting hurt) and Adam confronted Omar who just looked stupid, even in his apology he looked stupid and he needed Jeff to stand there and make sure he did nothing else stupid. Omar needs to go and I believe that he finally might
Meanwhile, Hojo's Mojo came up with this idea:
Dave says: July 27, 2009 at 4:19 pm I don t see the big commotion. A guy tries to pick a fight with a team. Fired right there and then. Done. Reply
Matthew Artus gives a bit of an idea about it:
They won 2 in a row. Now wouldn't it be nice if they can go for 3?One needs only to go back to the last time the Mets won more than 2 in a row this season to best describe their 2009 failures. At the end of play on May 29th, the Mets rested 1/2 game above the Phillies in first place and 7 games over .500 after logging a win over the Florida Marlins. Carlos Beltran batted third that night, despite struggling from an injury that would eventually sideline him indefinitely. Mike Pelfrey pitched sharp, but didn't log a win as the Mets would need 11 innings to beat the Marlins.
Hojo's Mojo scans the other's answers and reply:
John says: July 27, 2009 at 4:29 pm Anyone else listen to the press conference?What a circus. Listening to Omar Minaya speak publicly gives me a headache. He is awful.
Matthew Cerrone brings some great news:
like Clark Griswold said, This is crazy, this is crazy, this is crazy. i can t believe omar called rubin out during this press conference i mean, this was supposed to be a day of clearing the air, turning the page from last week, building on two wins in Houston and looking forward instead, omar throws rubin under the bus and here we are at the cross section of Unique and Sensational, and as one fire goes out another is set
dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer) does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:

JamesK imagines that:
by dontstopbelieving on Jul 28, 2009 8:56 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs I'll go along with the "blurred lines" thing as long as the high and mighty journalists who take part in it give their journalistic ethics and morals discussions a rest. See Robothal vs. Morris (the Ibanez thing). Murray Chass somewhat agrees with me. Not sure if that s a good sign or bad sign. by James Kannengieser on Jul 28, 2009 8:58 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Matthew Cerrone shows how it is done:
or, rubin did try to get a job in player development, tony b said no, an rubin intentionally got the ball rolling to take him out, and the minaya had every right to fight back
Still being unsure, Hojo's Mojo asks:
D.C. says: July 27, 2009 at 4:37 pm After this press conference that Minaya made a pariah of himself today. Reply
JamesK considers that:
IMO, they didn t do this because what Rubin did really wasn t improper. And they knew it. Omar just pulled it out at the press conference to insinuate Rubin had an ulterior motive for writing what were embarrassing stories for him. He used it for character assassination.
Matthew Cerrone also takes into account the following fact:
ctmetsfan17 says: July 27, 2009 at 5:22 pm Regardless, there is No reason for Omar to bring it up. If he didn t everyone on WFAN and all of us on here would be talking about how the Mets did the right thing today. Instead we are still bashing them. Its just poor media management. If they were that mad at Rubin they could have leaked his job seeking to any other newspaper in NYC.
Matthew Cerrone has another idea:
mark4212 says: July 27, 2009 at 10:17 am They won t even release mr GIDP tatis. I do agree they don t like to eat money on a healthy player. They will gladly sign a player to sit on the DL, but if he s healthy they don t want to cut him. Nate W. says: July 27, 2009 at 11:00 am Tough to argue for Tatis release when the other options are Argenis Reyes and Nick Evans methead says: July 27, 2009 at 11:32 am here here. Tatis has been terrible but if we had real options I could understand a release. Fact is Evans and reyes both suck.
Hojo's Mojo thinks that the problem is:
