Big series against the Nationals coming up, if only because if we can sweep, or take 3 out of 4.

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.

Looks like Wagner's picked up where Loduca left off:

It was also a case of frustration for the Mets in the locker room after the game. Closer Billy Wagner, who didn't pitch on Thursday, was surrounded by reporters for his post-game comments.

"Can someone tell me why the (expletive) the closer's being interviewed when I didn't even play," Wagner told the reporters.

Wagner then turned and pointed toward the opposite side of the room, in the direction of the locker of Delgado and Beltran.

"You should be talking to those guys over there," Wagner continued. "Oh, they're not there...big shock."

At that point Wagner walked away.

Game Notes

I was there, Beltran discussed the play afterwards. I don't think Delgado did. So I guess Aaron Boone really is Aaron bleeping boone again for the Met fans.

Fighting Hellfish

to be fair, there isn't much for Delgado to discuss. He crushed a ball, just so happened to be hit right at someone. The fact that Beltran talked after the game makes HillBilly Wagner look like even more of a dick.

I don't give a fuck what anyone says, Beltran is my favorite player..

If I'm a Met fan, I'm pretty pissed off with Castillo and Wright as well. When did running hard until the ball is caught go out of fashion?

I'm pissed off. Castillo could have scored easy on that play if only he wasn't such a lazy motherfucker..

I hate this team..

Something has to happen to wake up this ballclub ... maybe it is the subway series. they are going thru the motions, throwing the ball around, not thinking in the batters box or on on the basepaths. the high priced players are either always hurt, or not coming thru in the clutch. there is no fire or chemistry on that bench, and it needs to change before it is too late.

simply, willie and staff have to go. they lost control of the the team long ago, and were carried by talent until they got in the way.

for those interested, mike jacobs has 9 homers for the marlins, and kazmir (ugh)

josevolution

they have stopped playing for randolph ...

xavier mcdaniel

which baffles me because he is always defending his players. whether he's right or wrong in defending the players is another matter but if i was a player and I played for a manager that always had my back, i'd be willing to run through a wall.

harrymanback

that is unless willie cannot bash them.

x-man ... what are you doing in the clubhouse?

nah it wasn't me. what happened a few questions were asked by a radio guy and some newspaper guys. wagner answered them and then when there was a pause in the action, he spewed his frustration.

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.

you have the greatest job in the world, and I am quite jealous. Any chance you are 6'0, 210, blonde hair and blue eyes, so that I could pass for you and do your job for a few days?

you're close. i'm a little thinner (because i don't eat all the crappy food in the pressroom) and i'm a non-blonde.

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.
