So is there a Manuel watch yet? Firing him would be gangsta..

I'm all for it. Unbelievable how quickly things change. We were flying high the first 3 games at San Fran, even without Reyes. Now I barely even recognize the team..what a shitty lineup last night..so basically Beltran and Wright have to be on fire or the team just can't fucking score..Reyes looks pretty fucked up. I'm officially panicking..

you'd think they would have a better shortstop option in the minors than Ramon Martinez. He was a decent role player while younger, but the show's over for him. I guess they could call Jose Valentin, he was a shortstop before he played second base in 2006 and 07..

This Ramon guy is a joke, much like all the other little league players the Mets are starting lately. This is a nightmare..and now I guess we'll try Murphy at 1st base, which will be his last opportunity according to the skipper..and I'm so fucking sick of Castillo and Castro that I'm actually losing sleep over it..

Btw, is Valentin retired?

Is Pedro still with the Mets???? Just wondering, I still miss him from the time he was in Boston with the RED SOX :(

nope he's a free agent and thank god he's no longer a met. What a bust he was for us

Hey Metsy, so what do you think now about your Murphy prediction?..you were really really high up on this fucking guy..I approached it with caution and rightfully so, but nevertheless I still find myself pulling for the kid and hopefully he'll impress us in the next couple of weeks at first, in his final opportunity to do so..God knows we need him now..

Gary Carter

I still have faith he will turn out fine. I didn't like him playing in lf but there was no other place. I don't think jerry likes him and that's also the reason for murphy doing poorly.

Gary Carter

OMIR FUCKING SANTOS

spat

WOW. best ninth inning i've seen in a long time! from omir's homerun to all three outs in the bottom. classic.

Gary Carter

Woulda like to gone 6-4 but 5-5 is a good road trip. Wright is getting hot just at the right time as is sheff. Murphy looks good at 1st base

The Champ

What a great weekend in Boston! Maybe would have had the sweep if it weren't for our idiot manager going with Green in a big spot..

Can't believe how well we are playing right now with only two of our opening day starters in the lineup, Castillo and Wright. Isn't the rest of the lineup making like the league minimum? Anyway, I guess when you have good starting pitching and facing shitty teams, anything is possible...but we'll need the regulars back and soon..

I'm really really worried about this Beltran knee scenario. I know they are saying it'll only be a few days, but that's exactly what was said about Reyes as well. The Mets handle these situations unbelievably bad..from Church to Delgado to Reyes etc..it's horrible and in the case of Church, they may have actually ruined this guy's fucking career with their antics last year..

You guys give up yet

We're 1/2 game up

They never liked church. I don't even think mr. Wilpon likes church. He's been the best rf we've had since swobda(sp). I'd trade church for maybe a bullpen arm or another bench guy and keep up f-mart. Yes the mets have def handled these injuries wrong. If there injuried they belong on the dl, no wait and see bs. Also putz and green are sucking big time. I hate to say this but I'd take a look at wags and see what he has left in him.

Still hanging in there due to good pitching and Sheffield's hitting..the rest of the triple-a guys are showing us something too..

Wagner will be here before you know it, and I for one would definitely like to see him out there rather than that bum Green..

Gary Carter

As would I. I'd putz 7th inning, wags and parnell 8th inning. I don't like putz in the 8th cause he can't handle being in that role. I like wags in the 8th cause he's a gamer and well parnell just has gas and that can't go to waste.

really? Ryan Church is better than Darryl Strawberry? Even after a night of drinking at Finn McCool's, Strawberry iwas a better threat in the middle of the lineup than Church is. I get your point on Church, I've been hearing those rumblings as well, but no way is he the best right fielder the Mets have had since Ron Swoboda. Maybe if Strawberry never spent time with the Mets considering the other names, but that's a reach at best. That calls for a Mike Francesa handwave..

So anyone want to talk about Citi Field and your favorite food and/or beer beverage? The place is amazing. I go there just to eat..lol..the Blue Smoke ribs are fucking awesome!! The tacos would be great if it weren't for the soft shells, not my thing..the Frites fries and dipping sauces, especially the smoked bacon sauce, are off the shanizzle...haven't had anything bad yet..and the specifically crafted Ales on tap at the Mexican place and Blue Smoke hit the spot too..haven't tried Shake Shack and/or their beer because the lines have been way too fucking long..gonna hit up Mama's and Catch of the Day this weekend....any other suggestions?
