Hey BIG Frank, you sound like a little Omar Minaya butt-kisser.
Real New Yorkers are a little more honest so we are glad you left.
The Mets don't need an apologist.
what ever happened to the rule that Journalism must be objective. Again and Again, Wallace matthews breaks this rule, especially when it comes to the mets. It is obvious that this man has a personal ax to grind with the team,and his nearsighted articles prove it time and again. He can't write on much else. Please newsday, give him an assignment that's not sports related
I saw the backpage, with an insert on the backpage of yesterday's sports column. Please, Newsday. Please, Wallace Mathews you deserve no credit whatsoever for this signing. The mets have made mistakes in their past, but they are more than making amends by making wise decisions on and off the field these last few years. What has happened to your newspaper?
Poor journalism is now the rule, especially with the hiring of writers such as Wallace Matthews . I am distressed at the lack of objectivity he and others on your staff provide on an ongoing basis. the wilpons had every intent on keeping willie. and willie wanted to stay. Mike Lupica's column in this morning's daily news was more to the point about this than Matthew's mindless column. Please, Newsday. You are losing your way.
Mike the "Boston Mascot" Lupica never wrote an objective column.He is a obnoxious slime ball who never lets the truth get in the way of his petty jealousies.Matthew's might be a little over the top with his comments but he speaks the truth.
Putzoo = Wallace Matthews
