HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

A home run on the first pitch! That's true Mets magic.

IM a big fan of Mike but he really disappointed me as a Met. To bad he didn't get a second chance to prove that he's got the stuff to help bring us the MLB championship, but im glad to see him back in Baltimore.

I took my kids to see the Mets in his first game. The place went wild went he hit a dinger in his first at bat. I had a bad feeling that it would be all down hill after that. I was right. He was absolutely invisible in the post season. It's unbelieveable that the Mets gave up 4 guys to rent him for a couple of months. Bad move.

Mets should of never got rid of Melvin Mora for this scrub. He hit a home run in his first at bat and nothing after that. He was just a waste of space.

We gave away two great prospects who are doing well now in Baltimore. We rent Bordick for a few months and he goes back to Baltimore. Sound weird? If your a Met fan your used to this stuff.

Since when were Pat Gorman, Lesli Brea Mike kinkade and Melvin Mora good prospects. I think only Mora is starting

Still seeing a therapist (not really) about my anger and resentment toward this guy for doing diddly squat in the post-season. What I can't figure out is why the Mets didn't just DL him after Mike James hit him with a pitch in the NLCS and let Jorge Velandia play in his place. I could've at least gotten one lousy hit in the post-season, for God's sake. Why'd they get rid of Melvin Mora in the first place?

That home run Bordick hit in his first game as a Met probably was one of the cheapest in club history. From my vantage point, it looked like a routine fly ball. It just goes to show how juiced these baseballs are!

Admittedly nobody knew at the time that Melvin Mora was going to be an All-Star and batting title threat in three years, but still....four guys for one rental?

This the Steve Phillips thinking that enabled the Mets to go from back-to-back playoff appearances in 1999 and 2000 to three straight last-place finishes in 2002, 2003, and probably 2004.

How can anyone possibly get off to better start with a new team only to fall off the face of the earth so soon afterwards? Incredible.

I was there the day Bordick hit that Mets debut homer. We were screaming for him and he took a curtain call. You could see on his face how psyched he was. It was like, "OHMIGOD, I love New York!"

Then Abbott (might as well have been Costello) subs for him in the World Series. Meanwhile, Melvin Mora (MORA SCORES! THE METS WIN!!!) goes on to be a star in Baltimore. And to think, we sweetened the pot with three additional prospects, then dealt Bordick back to Crabtown soon after the Subway Series.
