    3 words--- 4 year contract. It ain't right, but that's the way it goes

    It's certainly not right, considering how well Easley and A. Reyes performed at 2B since Castillo has been out.

    Got to bounce back today, Mets fans. Petey and Johan could still help us take the series.

    Let's Go Mets!

    looks like Wagner is done for the year, and from what I'm reading, probably a big chunk of 2009 too. Maybe the Mets will go after KRod now.

    Carlos Delgado. MVP.

    On ESPN's telecast of last night's win, Peter Gammons reported that the Mets are going to pick Delgado up for next season. No surprise there, I guess.

    But I was shocked at how Mets fans started chanting M-V-P when Delgado hit his second homerun. Power numbers are one thing, but the guy is hitting ~.260 on the season.

    As a fan, I'm glad he's producing. And he is undoubtedly the team's MVP of the post-Willie part of the season. But League MVP? That's a bit silly.

    Well, it depends on how you look at it. Since the middle of June Carlos Delgado does have the most home runs in MLB and the most RBI's in NL. Also, MVP isn't only about best numbers, its who was the most valuable player to their team. I think for the Mets Delgado is right now the obvious choice.

    I'm not saying that I think he should win it necessarily, but he should be seriously considered.

    Just to add, if CC Sabathia is in the mix for NL Cy Young for only the second half, certainly Delgado since June should be in the mix (his batting average since June 27th is .299, he leads the majors in homeruns, and the NL in RBIs).

    Yup. I expect the Mets will go after a big closer for next year.

    The fact that you're wrong is going to be even harder to swallow come the end of September when the Phillies are packing up the clubhouse for the winter.

    Sorry to see Wagner done for the year, but I think the Mets bullpen will be alright for these final three weeks.

    Let's Go Mets!

    Yup. It'll be interesting to see the reaction of all those Phillie fans when they realize that they're not going to the playoffs.

    Good luck down the stretch, this time last year, you were up 6 games, and your lead was still growing...

    We just beat you 2 out of 3 without the top 3rd of our lineup producing. If Delgado didn't have a hot bat, you would have gotten swept.

    I do wish the schedule would have included more Sept. matchups between the Phils and Mets, but I have faith that NY will falter down the stretch...

    Here's to September baseball!

    3-3 with 2 more home runs. The guy is a monster.

    nice work by the bullpen, i think it's one earned run allowed in the last 25 or so innings.

    They deserve some serious credit...especially after all the heat they took last month.

    I still loathe Guillermo Mota, though.
