yeah, that's what I'm thinking. They want a confirmation from Andrews that surgery is necessary. I hope I'm wrong

Oh man. Its never a good sign when you're counting on a guy like Tatis to save your asses every night. Cause one day, Tatis is gonna remember that he's Tatis, and then never get a hit again.

If he remembers who he is, then he might hit 2 grand slams in an inning.

Man, that's cold..

Marlins are doing their part, but the Mets bullpen keeps giving leads away.

Decent start by Pedro last night, but I'm still waiting for his next injury to occur.

Freakin' Show/Heilman...

David Wright !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DWright saves the day with a walk-off HR.

Bullpen gets bailed-out once again.

Thank God for David Wright....and can you believe Santana didn't get the win?? Lol..he should have like 15 wins minimum..at this rate, he won't win another game this season..

Mets win on a strong 7-inning effort by Oliver Perez. Nice job by the bullpen not to blow that one. Wish they could do the same for Johan's outings, but that's for another day.

Pirates take one in Philly in extras, meaning the Mets are just one game out of first place.

Let's Go Mets!

Daniel Murphy is ridiculous. 10 for 20 in his first seven games with 5 RBI.

Big game today. Glad we've got Big Pelf going. As a Mets fan, you've got to love what he's becoming.

yeah, who would have thought pelfrey would turn out to be good?...very pleasently surprised!

i am very happy with the way they are playing latey! we need wagner back (did i just say that?..lol)
heilman closing out games is kinda a joke.

lets go mets!

another 5 pitcher day for the bullpen. I've never seen a team use this many pitchers every day. There's gonna be a game, soon, where the Mets run out of pitchers na dhave to risk sending one of their starters out to the pen to throw a few innings. Take today...if they had kept it tied and gone into extras, they had just Kunz and Muniz available. How long could they go?

yup

the really sad part is, I picked up heilman in one of my leagues, hoping for a few saves for this week. I'm in first by a half game, and playing a tough team. Only solace is that I also have Grabow

Smith, Feliciano, and Heilman:

Thanks for wasting yet another quality start by one of the Mets rotation. We're counting on you to be consistent down the stretch by blowing games against the Phillies, among others. Don't let us down (Schoeneweis, you're not much better-off).

Jerry Manuel and Dan Warthen:

We don't care anymore if the starters' arms are falling off. Get him a glove for the opposite hand and transform him into Elton Chamberlain out there. This song-and-dance has gotten old.

Omar Minaya:

How can you just sit idly by and watch the free agent trading deadline pass without bolstering the bullpen? Now you're just going to stand around and let August slip away without making a move? Hey, maybe some relief pitchers will just magically take the 7 one day and find themselves ready to sign-on for the last six weeks of the year.

Billy Wagner, John Maine, and starting rotation:

As ignorant and obnoxious as Wagner can be in front of the microphone, your closing ability is sorely missed. Both of you please focus on getting off the DL as soon as possible. And remember that eight innings from the starters plus one from the closer is what it's going to take.

Guillermo Mota:

I still hate you, you son of a bitch. Your ghost continues to haunt the Mets, even though you are long gone at this point. Fuckin' Mota.

Philadelphia, Florida, and Milwaukee:

2 1/2 games probably won't hold-up. But if you can get into the Mets' bullpen, you stand a better chance than anyone who can't.


Let's Go Mets!

it's only gonna get worse. You can't pitch guys every single day. Even if they only get one batter, they still have to throw to warm up, which they might do more than once. I checked out the stats for appearances over the last 28 days. In all of baseball, The Mets have the:

#1 Heilman 15 appearances
#3 Feliciano 14
#3 Smith 14
#5 Schoenweis 13 (he's tied with a bunch of guys)

When you break it down over the last 14 days, there are 9 guys with 8 appearances. 4 of them are Mets.

That's overuse. Noone can keep that up, especially in todays game, without steroids and amphetamines. These guys are gonna start to break down, or pitch even worse than they have been. They should contact Scott Proctor and Paul Quantrill and start up a support group

Let's have a cheer for the first-place New York Mets! They swept the Nationals and got John Maine back from the DL this week, in the midst of climbing back into the driver's seat.

It was mighty kind of the Dodgers to take four games from the Phillies, to aid the Mets' cause. Amazins get the Bucs this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Let's Go Mets!

The Amazins have won 9 out of 10.

Their starting pitchers have really picked up the bullpen's slack.

Carlos Delgado had a five-hit night, including a GW RBI.



I like how this team keeps re-inventing itself through the course of the season. Now, if only Manuel will ride the wave and let the synergy continue. Don't go trying to rush Church back or throw Castillo in at 2B the minute he's cleared. Let these guys think they're still fighting from behind. I think hanging-on by a thread brings out some good qualities in this Mets team.

Let's Go Mets!
