    How about an even split: 2-2?

    I didn't see this coming. But how about that Ryan Church guy? He's not been too shabby in RF this season.

    .

    As of now he's easily playing the best on the team. Don't want to imagine what our record would be right now w/o him.

    sounds like the Billy we all got to know and love in Philly.... glad to see he still enjoys throwing people under the bus.

    Considering he was talking about Delgado, I'm sure most of the fans agree with him.

    That was clearly a 3-run HR by Delgado in the 4th. But perhaps they won't need the extra runs by the time the game's over.

    How about Willie NOT getting tossed from the game while debating that call? He's got no marbles.

    Looks like the Mets didn't need those extra runs, after all.

    Bring on the Bravos for two on Tuesday. Let's Go Mets!

    A double-dip sweep at the hands of the Braves. That was not cool, nor was John Maine getting blown-up in 4+ innings of work.

    Better luck today. Let's Go Mets!

    Sounds like he doesn't have the guts to stand behind his words. He looked all shifty in the interview I saw from Atlanta.

    You know I have never been a Willie fan but gave him the benifit of the doubt being a die hard Met fan, but this is just getting fucking ridiculous..He should have been given the old dirty boot last year and now with all this shit he's still around? He is a fucking moron and should have kept his dumb mouth shut..or at least have some balls to stand behind his words..With all that bullshit aside, it's obvious that he has lost the clubhouse for good! Fuck this fucker, seriously!! Overly sensitive lifeless prick..

    Just wait.

    When Pedro finally makes his triumphant return, he'll be headed back to the DL with such speed our collective heads will spin.

    I won't pour salt in any open wounds. I just wanted to note that the play by Johan Santana to start the DP in the 7th inning was one of the best plays I've seen this year. In a long time, actually.
  • rhinomagicrhinomagic Charlottesville, VA Posts: 2,552
    A four-game sweep at the hands of the Braves. What a great way to start a road-trip.

    I missed the Santana play, but sure would like to see the clip. You make it sound like it was spectacular.

    Count me as one Mets Fan who thought Steve Phillips should've been fired long before Bobby Valentine.

    That was a mistake that cost the Mets quite a bit, in my opinion.

    very suspicious that SNY was having "technical difficulties" from Colorado, and could not have postgame reactions.

    Why is Willie about to be fired but Joe Girardi is not subject to the same criticism (yet....) ? What's up with that?

    i was at this game tonight and i feel bad for you met fans. i'm usually a very optimistic person but i saw nothing from the mets tonight that would indicate this is turning around anytime soon.

    that being said, omar minaya has to be more on the hot seat than his manager, not for what has happened to reyes but for signing luis castillo to a four-year deal, relying on the likes of injury-prone and older veterans such as moises alou and orlando hernandez.

    I'm not around the Mets a lot, but there's a certain vibe that reminds me a lot of 2002 and we all know how that turned out.

    I agree about Omar. i don't understand how he's kind of above all the blame.

    Castillo is a perfect example. The guys got nothing left, and he'll be around for 3 more years.

    Alou, I understood bringing him back at a realtively cheap price, but it was essential to have a legit 4th OF, as it was a guarantee that he would miss 60 games or more.

    The pitching staff---Not enough bodies. Everyone knows Perez is a wild card. Either 7 innings, 1 run, or 1 inning 7 runs. They needed more bodies. Pedro's the Moises Alou of pitching. Why didn't he sign Bartolo Colon? He liked him enough while with Montreal to give up Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee, AND Brandon phillips. For that kings ransom (Wouldn't Washington love to have those 3) he got 16 starts from colon. he could've had him for a song this year?
    Heath Bell---he'll be closing in san diego soon. He should be already, hoffmann is surviving on his name at this point

    Trades---how many guys he shipped out could be helping them right now? Heath Bell, Brian bannister, etc...
