nothing like Johan and K-Rod to shut down the fightin' Phils. we'd love to see 'em take the rubber game, and provide a lil momentum into next week's homestand.

Takahashi shows you what he's made of, Manuel continues to manage like an idiot and krod beats his father-in-law about the face.
great night in Queens.
K-Rod should've used the Pedro drop:
works every time on senior citizens.

i wasn't really serious.. but i think those are the only worse things that could happen.
speaking of offense... has carlos fucking beltran gotten a hit this week? .190... what a fucking joke.
Actually, one of the Wilpons was quoted as saying they're sticking with Minaya after this season.
And Beltran's last hit was a double on 8/7.

I don't have such a problem with Jerry but Omar???
i do hope you're kidding.
Jerry Manuel is an awful manager. he doesn't have control of his clubhouse, he has no idea how to use a bullpen properly, and he often comes off as baseball ignorant when dealing with the media. enough's enough. Willie had to go, i know. but Jerry Manuel should've been around just long enough to get ourselves a real manager.
and Omar, as we know, is the biggest problem of them all.

No way. Jerry has to have Feliciano & Parnell get in some work and face three batters each.Johan with 110 pitches through 8 innings of shutout ball - does he go the distance?
Wow... 3 hits, 10 K, 2 BB. Nice game. How can our boys snatch defeat from the jaws of victory today?

aha, looks like Valdes in the 'pen throwing the heat. sounds like a promising start to a 9th-inning Rockies rally. 
oh, and anyone else wanna see Ruben Tejada head down to AA ball for the rest of the year and learn how to hit? the boy can field, but he doesn't have a major-league bat.

You'd rather have Castillo playing? Gimme the D and energy that Tejada brings. I'll deal with the sub 200 avg from the 8 spot

i'd rather Tejada learn how to hit, mature into a .280-300 hitter, and be the Mets starting 2nd baseman for the next 15 years. i'm willing to wait a year to see that. being overmatched at this level is no way to teach a kid how to hit.

not sure if he ever will be a 280-300 hitter. he's not hurting us right now
22 Hs vs. 22 Ks in 135 plate appearances with only 7 walks = hurting us, pretty badly in fact. .191 is simply not acceptable, i don't care how many gold gloves you're gonna win. ask Rey Ordonez.

i dunno. i just feel that right now the best player (on our roster) to be at 2b is tejada and NOT castillo. it doesn't always come down to numbers.
oh..and hessman needs to be sent down but i dont know who would be brought up. we have no other backup 3B

which one is it?
for an all-star returning from the DL into the middle of a pennant (ha!) race, 3-for-4 is progress.
for a rookie trying to stay in the bigs, .191 isn't going to cut it. getting a hit every sixth at-bat doesn't improve ANYTHING about the kid's game, but it can do a nice job of unscrewing a young players' mind. do that long enough, and you'll never quite get it on straight again.

bringing up talent that's simply not ready is a time-tested signifier that a manager's about to get the axe because his team is underperforming. he's got EVERYONE healthy (in the field, anyway) and he's trying to mix it up with kids who can't hit the ball beyond AA level. to any other GM, that'd be the sure-fire time to cut the cord.

Busy Saturday.Wanna go Sunday Dan?
If it's a day game, then can't make it.
Night game... probably not but I'd consider it... I was envisioning this as something later... once the nice weather leaves central NY and I can't dawdle around the pond.
Thanks!
