Leave Omar Alone

Mets GM Omar Minaya is a very busy man. He can't be expected to know that New York's Time Warner customers - including most residents of Manhattan and Queens - can't watch most Mets games because Cablevision won't allow Time Warner to show them unless it pays a ransom. As today's New York Post reports:

Mets General Manger Omar Minaya said he wasn't even aware the game wasn't on TV for the 2.4 million New Yorkers who have Time Warner Cable.

"It's too bad, because they missed a great performance by Pedro [Martinez], 12 strikeouts," he said.

Millions of New Yorkers can't watch the Mets? Whatever. Minaya has more important things to be concerned with, such as the huge recent announcement that Banco Popular is now the official bank of the New York Mets. As a Mets fan and someone who has a bank account, this is great news all around.

Minaya has also been consumed with an ambitious goal of ridding the Mets of any and all vestiges of the 2000 pennant winning team. He succeeded in getting rid of all remnants of the 2000 club except for Mike Piazza - and he sure tried to trade Piazza. In his most recent coup, Minaya released Subway Series vet Joe McEwing, who last season hit .254, and replaced him with Marlon Anderson, who hit .237 in 2004.
