A GM who, without the benefit of high draft picks,and despite being able to simply "buy" players, has drafted the likes of Kevin Youklis, Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, Justin Masterson, Jacoby Ellsbury, etc."  Lester was drafter by interim GM Mike Port and Youkilis was drafted in the dark days of Dan Duquette. But Papelbon was drafted by Theo.

I keep reading that Rubin was unethical or that there was a conflict of interest.  I would be interested to read why.  If Rubin wanted to transition to a front office position, how else would he go about doing it?  And why the heck would he ask Jeff Wilpon for advice about moving up in the newspaper industry?

These were not direct quotes from sources, but words he was choosing to use. Maybe that s the vibe he got from his sources, but that s why you have to be careful not to be too sensational when writing, it can come back to haunt you.  But, the Mets did fire him, so there really had to be something there, it wasn t some huge exaggeration, obviously.            by  David G  on                Jul 28, 2009 4:13 PM EDT     up     reply      actions      0  recs       &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-nikko-hurtado.blogspot.com" title="Nikko Hurtado"&gt;Nikko Hurtado&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;But JamesK  says that's not all:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Kind of agree, Kind of disagree Joe It is worthwhile to raise the point that  The Mets  is a corporate entity that includes both baseball and journalistic operations.

He certainly isn t as bad as hes pitched ..so hopefuly he gets his act together.    &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-odd-day.blogspot.com" title="Odd Day"&gt;Odd Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;In addition to this, Matthew Cerrone  states:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Also, maybe I m in the minority here but it doesn t seem to me like Rubin crossed some line.  Based on what Rubin said, and what was essentially corroborated by Wilpon and Minaya later, Rubin never lobbied for a job in the organization.  Rather, he has always been curious about getting involved in either the sports network side or baseball organizational side of the business and he has spoken to people he has encountered over many years from many organizations, including Wilpon and Minaya, for info.  That makes perfect sense to me.  I imagine being a beat reporter, you form relationships with people you deal with regularly and that seems completely natural that over the months and years that you cover a team, that the conversation veers to all sorts of topics of interest.  It also appears that he was cognizant of not crossing a line which is why he didn t take Wilpon up on his offer.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-ainsley-earhardt.blogspot.com" title="Ainsley Earhardt"&gt;Ainsley Earhardt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;For example, JamesK  considers:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;sports journalism in general is in bed with the entities it covers, and that makes for awfully murky situations&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-hilton.blogspot.com" title="Perez Hilton Getting Punched"&gt;Perez Hilton Getting Punched&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joe D  brings more details:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Ya Gotta Believe  Yes Joe, It s Toasted  You Can t Script Baseball  Zombies and Comics and Bears, Oh My!

Although Wipon s, GK&amp;amp;R s and Rubin s account seem much closer.  Rubin wasn t asking for a job. He was asking  How does one get a job doing that . It was more exploratory and seems to fit within the bounds of his job. I don t think there is a conflict of interest here.  If anything, Minaya should have woken up this moring to a pink slip from Wilpon for such a horrific display.            by  Chickendirt  on                Jul 28, 2009 1:45 PM EDT     reply      actions      0  recs    &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-anna-faris.blogspot.com" title="Anna Faris"&gt;Anna Faris&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;noreply@blogger.com (Tony Arnoldine)  brings a word of caution:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Antonio Pierce not indicted in Plaxico Burress gun...

Beat writers seem to have no problem in blasting players, managers or front office people without looking at all sides of any particular problem. I am sick and tired of the medias idea that they have carte blanche to say anything without repercussion. They hammered the Mets for making the trade for Jeff Francouer and now they have elevated him to be the savior. Fact is that Jeff had some problems in Atlanta, and a change of scenery for him has been good. He is an energetic player on a team that has suffered through an injury plagued season and has gotten off to a good start. Go back to the first 60 days of 2007 and you will see that newly acquired Ryan Church was CARRYING this team by himself and at the top of the league leaders in hitting stats until he w  as sidelined. Look at how the media treated Ryan since then! A bunch of egotistical, backstabbing weasels who are able to lead those who can t think for themselves. The media gets far too many considerations to do their jobs professionally and all too often are delivering tabloid like stories reminiscent of the Hollywood Rags that still sit atop the newsstands.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-borscht.blogspot.com" title="Borscht"&gt;Borscht&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  sees it this way:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;     Nate W.  says:    July 27, 2009 at 10:59 am   But Livan gives up 3 runs every first inning, I don t see how he can be a reliever.    He takes a long time to warm up as it is.  And he should try throwing an extra 25 pitches to simulate his first inning in the pen    I d say Livan gets to stay a starter until he proves he isn t one of the best 5 they have, at which point he is let go.  He makes less than Redding, keep in mind.     &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sources:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.metsblog.com/"&gt;Matthew Cerrone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.tonyblogs.net/"&gt;noreply@blogger.com (Tony Arnoldine) &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/"&gt;Media Decoder &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://njfrogman.blogspot.com/"&gt;Admin@BobsBlitz.com (Bob Mantz, Jr.) &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://bareknucks.com/"&gt;Editor &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://jumpinginpools.blogspot.com/"&gt;Michael Avitabile &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.fangsbites.com/"&gt;kzfone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/"&gt;Ben Nicholson-Smith &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://theropolitans.com/"&gt;Andrew Vazzano &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/"&gt;Media Decoder &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://metsmerizedonline.com/"&gt;Joe D &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.metsblog.com/"&gt;Matthew Cerrone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://rememberingshea.blogspot.com/"&gt;DyHrdMET &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://metsmerizedonline.com/"&gt;Greg Pomes &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.metsblog.com/"&gt;Matthew Cerrone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;br/&gt;This text is automatically generated from different sources on the internet.

Its not that I dont like Adam Rubin, but what he did was unethical. I would assume he is downplaying it now, his job is at stake, as I am sure the Ombudsman at The Daily News is now launching his own investigation. And if his defense is that everyone in the sports journalism world does it, then it is patently obvious that the majority of the sports journalism world is an open sewer of talentless hacks trying to break into the game. Which is a shame because Rubin did a great job in breaking this story. But now I have to question his motives.            by  aparkermarshall  on                Jul 28, 2009 7:10 AM EDT     reply      actions      0  recs    &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-clemson-football.blogspot.com" title="Clemson Football"&gt;Clemson Football&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;For example, JamesK  considers:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Jeff Wilpon has just come out in the last hour or so to personally apologize to Rubin. He said Omar had made a mistake and embarrassed the organization and Omar will be calling Rubin personally to apologize himself.  Wilpon said that what Rubin did was not improper and that he is asked similar questions by others all the time.  So I think that says it all about Rubin s actions in the past regarding his career.

If you can point to an example to where it compromised is journalistic standards, the yes he was wrong. Rubin did nothing wrong or unethical and this is being blown out proportion.

When something like this happens, everyone can feel like the victim, and they may all have a valid point.            by  TheLetter2  on                Jul 28, 2009 11:30 AM EDT     up     reply      actions      0  recs    &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-yumiko-suzuki.blogspot.com" title="Yumiko Suzuki"&gt;Yumiko Suzuki&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  notices:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In a post to Twitter,  Can t Stop the Bleeding  writes:  Here s a list of things the Wilpons and Minaya don t understand : 1) public relations, 2) journalism, 3) ponzi schemes, 4) baseball.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-clemson.blogspot.com" title="Clemson"&gt;Clemson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Robert Z  scans the other's answers and reply:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    No more shirt strippings for Tony as a Met  Posted by Robert Z Posted in  New York Mets 2009 Season  | &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-pilot.blogspot.com" title="Moon Pilot"&gt;Moon Pilot&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Still being unsure, noreply@blogger.com (Tony Arnoldine)  asks:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Marlins get Nick Johnson in last minute deal with ...

The Wilpon s should buy the Nationals if they want to act think this.  I hope the Daily News/Rubin sue the Mets.

No one delivers any extra-base hits, let alone home runs. That means the Mets ars stuck grinding out runs in a station-to-station offense, and that's  without the one player ideally suited for that worst-case scenario . Was it fixable? Maybe in June, but it would've taken an awful lot of creativity on Omar Minaya's part to find it.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-hookah-situation.blogspot.com" title="Hookah Situation"&gt;Hookah Situation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;In other words, Matthew Cerrone  puts it this way:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I want to truly believe that Omar is smarter than that and that this was a planned out, well calibrated move that as Matt stipulates above, sends a clear message to the other media members that are allowed to roam free amongst the Mets - if you expect us to keep things on the down low, you need to keep some things on the down low too.  The Mets are clearly pissed about the story being made into a whole big thing by Rubin (who, by the way, if you ve read the article, absolutely slams the entire organization). They had something that they could use against him and did. Rubin may be shocked and angry, but I think the message is clear.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-iran.blogspot.com" title="Iran Election Results"&gt;Iran Election Results&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hojo's Mojo  remembers that:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The NY Post also uncovered some other disturbing news when they reported on a verbalÂ altercation between Bernazard and Mets closer Frankie Rodriguez that almost came to blows had it not been broken up.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-drug.blogspot.com" title="Dxm Drug"&gt;Dxm Drug&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;While it may be true, JamesK  thinks:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;         by  TheLetter2  on                Jul 28, 2009 8:18 AM EDT     reply      actions      0  recs        Thank you for the perspective    The laws of journalism constitute a grey area so I appreciate some feedback from someone who is trained in the field (I m assuming you are, based on your opening line).            by  James Kannengieser  on                Jul 28, 2009 9:22 AM EDT     up     reply      actions      0  recs    &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-journal.blogspot.com" title="Poughkeepsie Journal"&gt;Poughkeepsie Journal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Robert Z  gives a bit of an idea about it:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    No more shirt strippings for Tony as a Met  Posted by Robert Z Posted in  New York Mets 2009 Season  | &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-cocaine.blogspot.com" title="Red Bull Cocaine"&gt;Red Bull Cocaine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;For this purpose, JamesK  suggests:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; "Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev.

Steve,  I have mixed opinions....as I stated yesterday, Rubin s reporting was spot on....and that should remain his focus.  His piece this morning was absolutely slanted in his favor---he is equivocating on the fact that he made job inquiries, and he misquoted Omar vice using the actual words Omar said.  Omar said Rubin inquired about a job....Rubin keeps saying Omar s comments were based on his belief that Rubin wanted Bernazard s job.  Omar never said that though.  Omar botched the press conference--true x 100.  I also think Rubin is playing fast and loose with his interpretation of the truth. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-solvent.blogspot.com" title="Solvent"&gt;Solvent&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;JamesK  intervenes and adds:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  It's a bit unfair Objectivity is crucial to the health of journalism but calling Rubin s integrity into question over his tactful, general inquiries about a field is extreme, unrealistic, and unfair.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-hotmail.blogspot.com" title="Hotmail.com/sign In"&gt;Hotmail.com/sign In&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Before going any further, Matthew Artus  wants to get this straight:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Second, the Mets rank 14th in Slugging Percentage at .419, which is also the current league average. You'd expect that with the lack of home runs, but it also reflects ranking 16th in doubles (83, 4 below league average) and 2nd in triples (15, 6 above league average). It's fine if the Mets aren't leading the league in dingers, but they're hardly a solid example of a well-rounded team.The BAPIP for the Mets normalized a bit, as it now resides at .304. That may or may not be affected by a dip in their line drive rate, down to 19.3% (which is still decent by MLB standards).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-jim-breuer.blogspot.com" title="Jim Breuer"&gt;Jim Breuer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer)  is absolutely sure that:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; NY Mets Report (Joe McDonald)  Flushing Fussing (Ted Berg)  Pick Me Up Some Mets (Zoe Rice)  Adam Rubin (NY Daily News) &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-anniversary.blogspot.com" title="D Day 65th Anniversary"&gt;D Day 65th Anniversary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer)  shows how it is done:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Rubin s stories had been out for days and weeks. If Omar felt they were written by a reporter with a conflict of interest, he should have gone to the editors at the Daily News and complained. Instead, he uses a news conference to make unfounded accusations against Rubin. Omar will pay with his job. If not this year, I think by the end of next season. It s just one more mark against him. And it s a huge mark.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-cameron.blogspot.com" title="Candace Cameron Bure"&gt;Candace Cameron Bure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Despite the previous arguments, JamesK  has many reasons to think otherwise:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a new world and the rules have been changed. There nothing wrong with a beat writer saying,  So, how does somebody get a job in this place? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-transit.blogspot.com" title="Nj Transit"&gt;Nj Transit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Having that in mind, JamesK  wonders:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It s probably true that career-advice conversations like the Rubin-Wilpon exchanges are all too common in sports journalism and this is probably one reason why we re not seeing much surprise from the other sportswriters covering this story (apart from Wallace Matthews, who shockingly came out on the exact right side of this issue by remembering that Rubin s position is a bit dubious even while vilifying Omar).  And if we take the Buffett comparison to heart, maybe it indicates not that Rubin is on firm ground but that business journalism is &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-brandon-marshall.blogspot.com" title="Brandon Marshall"&gt;Brandon Marshall&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Still not being convinced, JamesK  replies:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;   If that "viewpoint" is true, then a lot of people are going to be investigated and fired.              by  MetsGod  on                Jul 28, 2009 12:32 PM EDT     up     reply      actions      0  recs             Good    Alot of them are terrible.            by  aparkermarshall  on                Jul 28, 2009 4:42 PM EDT     up     reply      actions      0  recs        &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-fair.blogspot.com" title="Orange County Fair"&gt;Orange County Fair&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;JamesK  scans the other's answers and reply:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It is completely possible to do this without sacrificing credibility as long as the entrepenuerial journalist does not exhibit his goals in his writing.  Had Rubin done what Minaya implied and written articles about Bernazard with the intention of taking his job, that would have been wrong.  That s not what happened, though.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-eurotrip.blogspot.com" title="Eurotrip"&gt;Eurotrip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  might have an idea about it:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  The bottom line is, too, they fired Tony Bernazard because he did the things I said he did  For them to change the story like this, personally it devastates me.  This is my livelihood.  Look, I have tremendous relationships with most of the people in uniform.  I guarantee you if I walk in to the clubhouse right now I ll have more pats on the back, unless people are just scared to do that because it s their bosses.  I could assure you they just made my job impossible to do in the short-term.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon.blogspot.com" title="Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon"&gt;Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;But Hojo's Mojo  says that's not all:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Essentially what happened today was that Minaya set up a press conference to begin to save face for the organization, but in the process ripped that new face off by calling out Rubin.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-carol-rosenberg.blogspot.com" title="Carol Rosenberg"&gt;Carol Rosenberg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Still being unsure, noreply@blogger.com (Tony Arnoldine)  asks:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; This is just the latest embarrassing development in a shameful season for the New York Metropolitans.

He won t survive because Minaya now has become a public liability, a target of criticism, and if there is a defining characteristic of the Mets  organization, it s a devotion to the whims of public opinion. Within seconds after Minaya s press conference ended, talk radio in New York erupted with criticism of the general manager for how he handled the situation. And that s just the quick response. This will only worsen in the hours and days ahead, as the blogs and columns of reaction are posted and the Mets fall out of contention.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sources:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://nysportsdog.blogspot.com/"&gt;dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer) &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.amazinavenue.com/"&gt;JamesK &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://blog.nj.com/mets/"&gt;Matthew Artus &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.metsblog.com/"&gt;Matthew Cerrone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://metsmerizedonline.com/"&gt;Hojo's Mojo &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.tonyblogs.net/"&gt;noreply@blogger.com (Tony Arnoldine) &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;br/&gt;This text is automatically generated from different sources on the internet.

But he simply reported the facts, obviously unskewed by possible career motives. Minaya s an idiot to suggest that Rubin reported negatively on Bernazard because he wanted his job. No one is so deluded to think his first job in baseball will be as a director of player development.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-matthew-shepard.blogspot.com" title="Matthew Shepard"&gt;Matthew Shepard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similarly, Matthew Cerrone  adds:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;   Xavier22  says:    July 27, 2009 at 10:15 am   It will be interesting to see what they do, given that Jerry said each pitcher has one more chance before changes will be made.  Nieve made that decision easy, and you have to figure Livan will revert to form within the next start or two.  If Figuerroa is still tearing it up in AAA, will they allow Jerry to make good on his promise and bump Livan to the pen (where he would probably be a more effective mop up guy than Redding)?  At that point in the season, Redding would be owed $750K or so.   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sources:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazinavenue.com/"&gt;JamesK &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.metsblog.com/"&gt;Matthew Cerrone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.tonyblogs.net/"&gt;noreply@blogger.com (Tony Arnoldine) &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://metsmerizedonline.com/"&gt;Hojo's Mojo &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://nysportsdog.blogspot.com/"&gt;dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer) &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://blog.nj.com/mets/"&gt;Matthew Artus &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.metsblog.com/"&gt;Matthew Cerrone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;br/&gt;This text is automatically generated from different sources on the internet.

If this is a battle, the media will long outlive Omar.  That s why Omar s gratuitous comments about Rubin were ill-conceived.  Even if true, it does nothing to make the organization look any better.  That s why it s a disaster from a PR perspective.  Omar stepped all over the story, which should have been that the organization was responsible in ridding itself of a highly ranked eomployee who nonetheless didn t conduct himself in a professional manner.  Instead, the stories are now about Omar squaring off with a reporter.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-knife.blogspot.com" title="Spetsnaz Knife"&gt;Spetsnaz Knife&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hojo's Mojo  also takes into account the following fact:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    Jazz  says:    July 27, 2009 at 3:49 pm   FINALLY! he got fired .damnn it took this long to get rid off this Ass*ole.

IF the Mets had any possibility of even a low level trade that has now vanished. What GM would waste his time exploring anything with the Mets now (considering this behavior and impending termination)?  Omar is no longer trustworthy of making any changes at this time.  I can t see any choice but to fire him immediately and try to bring in a known entity that other GMs might trust.

Dave, Count me in on the side of Adam Rubin. Omar came off as a total jerk yesterday and if the Wilpon s had a pair of balls betwen them there would be a press conference at Citi Field today annoucning Minaya s firing.  Even if your take is true that Rubin asked about a job with the Mets which I don t believe I believe just what Adam said that we asked how does one go about getting a job in baseball, it doesn t take away that Omar had to know about all of Tony B d trangrstions and did nothing about them until someone leaked the info to Rubin. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-andy-friedman.blogspot.com" title="Andy Friedman"&gt;Andy Friedman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  brings more details:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;64 Responses to  Crazy: Minaya calls out Adam Rubin of Daily News     Newer Comments »      Patrick  says:    July 27, 2009 at 5:15 pm   Rubin better be pretty sure of himself in what he is going to say.

IMO, whether or not the MSM generally adheres to their mythical code is irrelevant here because I don t think what Rubin did was unethical.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-edie-falco.blogspot.com" title="Edie Falco"&gt;Edie Falco&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hojo's Mojo  brings more details:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Omar fills the lineup with bloated contracts, then is forced to pick the scrap heap for other players. Some times it works, so someone calls him a genius.

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.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-conrad-murray.blogspot.com" title="Conrad Murray"&gt;Conrad Murray&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  brings more details:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  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  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-scott-roeder.blogspot.com" title="Scott Roeder"&gt;Scott Roeder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;dave.singer@gmail.com (Dave Singer)  imagines that:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;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    &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-dead.blogspot.com" title="Husalah Dead"&gt;Husalah Dead&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;JamesK  brings some great news:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;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.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-restaurant.blogspot.com" title="Alice S Restaurant"&gt;Alice S Restaurant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similarly, JamesK  adds:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  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.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-hurrican-gustav.blogspot.com" title="Hurrican Gustav"&gt;Hurrican Gustav&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  comes with a new idea:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  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&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-guide.blogspot.com" title="Good Guide"&gt;Good Guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Meanwhile, Hojo's Mojo  came up with this idea:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    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.

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.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-paraguay.blogspot.com" title="Brazil Vs Paraguay En Vivo"&gt;Brazil Vs Paraguay En Vivo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hojo's Mojo  scans the other's answers and reply:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  John  says:  July 27, 2009 at 4:29 pm Anyone else listen to the press conference?What a circus.

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.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-takiyah-wonder.blogspot.com" title="Takiyah Wonder"&gt;Takiyah Wonder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  also takes into account the following fact:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;   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.   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-centralia.blogspot.com" title="Centralia Pa"&gt;Centralia Pa&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  has another idea:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    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.

Seriously how do you say that  yet run out a different lineup every day from June until a the Franceour trade.          jamie_  says:    July 27, 2009 at 11:04 pm   I cannot believe Jerry survives.        &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-archipelago.blogspot.com" title="Fernando De Noronha Archipelago"&gt;Fernando De Noronha Archipelago&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  thinks about it:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  MetFanForLife  says:  July 27, 2009 at 6:11 pm Enough is enough.   I have been a supporter of Minaya since he was brought in when the Wilpons needed a baseball man, instead of a low level flunkee, to run baseball operations.  However, it has become clear that Jeff had no intention of letting him run the team and is too cowardly to speak in public, thus undermining anything Omar says.   If the Wilpons have lost faith in Omar, please have the guts to fire him and bring in real baseball people (e.g., Gerry Hunsicker and Bobby Valentine) to take charge of the team they own.  Like someone once said to me:   The Wilpons would never hire baseball people to run their real estate business. Why should they expect anyone other than qualified baseball people to run the Mets.   All these votes of confidence look silly and I wish they could realize it.  BTW, there s still 65 games left this year.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-van-wilder.blogspot.com" title="Van Wilder"&gt;Van Wilder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  gives a bit of an idea about it:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    Patrick  says:    July 27, 2009 at 6:29 pm   his job is to handle the Mets public relations, in any case if you have really been paying attention the Mets have ALWAYS failed at this.          Lorenzo23  says:    July 27, 2009 at 6:42 pm   What is your problem??? I have paid attention and I m aware that media relations has been horrible however, Jay could have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to prevent Omar from saying something stupid.          wlaadair  says:    July 27, 2009 at 7:41 pm   Exactly, Jay Horowitz could have done nothing to prevent this, but unfortunately a lot of damage control from this may fall on his shoulders.        &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-skank robbers.blogspot.com" title="Skank Robbers"&gt;Skank Robbers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  gives a bit of an idea about it:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    Patrick  says:    July 27, 2009 at 9:56 am   Just wondering, who is Adams source on this, was it the disgruntled released 26 year old from Wantaugh or the former Blue Claws clubhouse manager?    &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-riders.blogspot.com" title="Old School Riders"&gt;Old School Riders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  is not really sure about that:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; John Ricco,  hide in the closet, man . no subtle movements   Update, 4:30 pm: Rubin will an on-air guest of SNY in the next few minutes.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-robin-katz.blogspot.com" title="Robin Katz"&gt;Robin Katz&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  comes with the facts:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;22 Responses to  News: Redding Off the Chopping Block     Newer Comments »     stilltheEWM  says:    July 27, 2009 at 9:32 am   How is Figgy not a better choice to pitch right now then Redding?   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-coca-cola.blogspot.com" title="Coca Cola 600"&gt;Coca Cola 600&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hojo's Mojo  has another idea:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The NY Post and ESPN have already confirmed the news through their sources.The press conference can be viewed on SNY or heard on WFAN.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-marathon0.blogspot.com" title="Broad Street Run"&gt;Broad Street Run&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Before going any further, Hojo's Mojo  wants to get this straight:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  Theme designed by Jinsona   and customized by Joseph DeCaro and Kelly Horn &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-utica-boilermaker.blogspot.com" title="Utica Boilermaker"&gt;Utica Boilermaker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Artus  points out another thing aside from that:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; The Daily Citizen's Adam Krohn believes  Jeff Francoeur should revisit his once-promising collegiate football career as baseball isn't working out . Francoeur, who played defensive back and wide receiver in high school, can't be doing much to impress the D-1 scouts with  his ability to perform under the bright lights . &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-diprivan.blogspot.com" title="Diprivan"&gt;Diprivan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;lalate  shows how it is done:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;  âI thought Omar had a thick skin, obviously not.    âThe bottom line is, too, they fired Tony Bernazard because he did the things I said he didâ¦ For them to change the story like this, personally it devastates me.  This is my livelihood.  Look, I have tremendous relationships with most of the people in uniform.        I guarantee you if I walk in to the clubhouse right now Iâll have more pats on the back, unless people are just scared to do that because itâs their bosses.  I could assure you they just made my job impossible to do in the short-term.â  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-walter-cronkite.blogspot.com" title="Walter Cronkite"&gt;Walter Cronkite&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Artus  gives a bit of an idea about it:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; You may have heard  the story about the Long Island Senior Softball League players that offered to help the Mets learn the fundamentals  with a training video.  The video's now available for consumption , but doesn't address how to cope with a corrupted front office. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-beardsley.blogspot.com" title="Mimi Beardsley"&gt;Mimi Beardsley&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Still being unsure, Matthew Cerrone  asks:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;   Xavier22  says:    July 27, 2009 at 9:53 am   The Mets have shown they are willing to release players under contract who are not producing - Marlon Anderson was owed 1.5M at the start of the season.  I think at this point, they need a mop up guy and Redding fits the bill as long as Livan is pitching relatively well.  If Livan has a couple of bad starts, they ll move him to the pen, bring up Figuerroa and release Redding.   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-ferry.blogspot.com" title="Danny Ferry"&gt;Danny Ferry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Artus  thinks that the problem is:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports,  the Texas Rangers recently expressed interest in Gary Sheffield  despite his recent DL stint. If we get any players back, I'm all for it. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-grand-prix.blogspot.com" title="Reebok Grand Prix 2009"&gt;Reebok Grand Prix 2009&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Cerrone  is not really sure about that:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;   wnymetsfan  says:    July 27, 2009 at 10:31 am   In all fairness to Adam, Lugo never became a FA as the Sox traded him before that took place. He may have signed with the Mets but thankfully we never had to worry about it.   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:right; width: 100%"&gt;&lt;a href="http://rssnet-spectrum.blogspot.com" title="Wachovia Spectrum"&gt;Wachovia Spectrum&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew Artus  brings a word of caution:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I know that I'm stating the obvious here. I'm just writing because it still hurts, to see a season so promising become so fleeting so quickly because of a plague of injuries and the lack of foresight to prepare for them. That being said, it'd be nice to see the Mets log win #3 tonight against the Wild Card-leading Colorado Rockies. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sources:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://blog.nj.com/mets/"&gt;Matthew Artus &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.metsblog.com/"&gt;Matthew Cerrone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://metsmerizedonline.com/"&gt;Hojo's Mojo &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.metsblog.com/"&gt;Matthew Cerrone &lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://news.lalate.com/"&gt;lalate &lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Disclaimer:&lt;br/&gt;This text is automatically generated from different sources on the internet.
