i realize this is the B-Mets, and that Reyes is probably out for the season or something like that, but are they EVER gonna score more than one run for Johan?


Reyes is NOT out for the season. He'll be back in the lineup by the weekend.


:lol: Where the hell are you getting your information?? He has a sore/tight back, that's it. He asked for an extra day off because he wasn't comfortable and he's getting re-evaluated today. Don't make an issue out of something that isn't.


this is how it always starts. "we're just holding him out as a precaution - he really wants to play!" becomes "we're not gonna take any chances, so the 15-day DL seems like the smart move" becomes "season-ending 36-hour microsurgery this morning...timetable for return sometime in 2013."

and you've ALL been around long enough to know i'm right. :bang:


He's getting re-evaluated today and then we'll know what's going on. I'm not going to write off the rest of his season based on tightness in his lower back. Hell, I get tightness in my lower back, I'm nowhere near in as good shape as your average MLB player, and it hasn't taken me out yet!


Reyes scratched.


Again?? Fuck. :plain:


...and the Mets lose without scoring any runs, because they don't score runs when Reyes isn't healthy.

Beltran definitely needs to shift to one of the corners. Have not really seen him make a play on anything where he has to go get it. He is helping us give up more runs than he is creating for us.

Yup Chad. You know Chad, the Cordero that went on the disabled list twice during the 2008 season with a torn side muscle, torn labrum and torn biceps. Then had season-ending shoulder surgery on July 8, 2008, and spent all of 2009 rehabilitating in the minors. (which btw all sound like juicing side effects to me)

Yeah...THAT Cordero.

from a related article on ESPN's page:

Cordero was one of the biggest pests the Mets dealt with in the middle of the last decade. He saved 13 games in 14 opportunities against them (92.9 save percentage ranks fifth against the Mets all-time) didn't allow a run against them in his first 12 2/3 innings, and didn't allow an earned run against them in his first 18 2/3 innings.

yeah, well, whatever. Omar must go, and unless the bats wake up by the end of this road skid, er, trip, Jerry must go, as well.

two key words in that... "last decade." Since he's come off the juice (and until I see different, based on all those blown out parts) he's barely seen a day in the majors.

desperation by omar.... send this fucker packing.

i heard the other day that some GMs are saying that Omar may never be able to make a trade in the MLB again. he expects other teams to take a $5, and send back $10. sure it's got to do with the lack of depth in the minors, but I've always thought he's a bit of a fantasy baseball player in that regard.

Easy there, partner.

I wouldn't want anybody but Frenchy in right field, even though we might as well concede the out when he bats just to move the game along. What they need is a left fielder who can hit.

And a couple of starting pitchers.

And a couple of middle relievers.

And a closer.

And a manager who knows how to manage pitching.

And a general manager who can get us some players.

If they have to play Beltran in CF, couldn't they put Pagan in LF? We need Frenchy's arm in RF.

That sucks and honestly, I'd be pissed if they traded him. Having an arm like his in the outfield is a blessing!

And I'm still steamed about this bullshit with Chad Cordero. God forbid we pick up a starter. You know... a position where we really need some help. Nah... let's sign yet another injury plagued has been.:rolleyes:

Bay's not going anywhere.

I can deal with a Bay-Beltran-Pagan-Frenchy platoon as long as they put the 3 out of 4 guys in who are currently producing instead of who they think they're supposed to put out there (looks in Beltran's direction). I think Beltran is still a little gimpy & maybe shouldn't be playing every day right now whereas Pagan has proven he's got what it takes to be an everyday player.
