He never plays!" Lennon: "How many times are you going to interview this guy? He hasn't played in 10 days." I know the spirit of the quotes are the same, but c'mon, it's like a musician with a tin ear. Get the quote right -- we don't want your interpretation of what was said. I see this all the time, and I can easily understand how a pro athlete might sometimes complain how his words are taken out of context.

I would expect to see them get a steady diet of left-handers from those teams that have decent left-handed pitching. If he is healthy (a huge if) I would love to see Castro get the lion’s share of catching when the Mets face left-handed pitching. His offense is sorely needed.

Now that the Mets are missing most of their power in the lineup and probably will never be the same, people will have unreal expectations for Church. I’m sure he knew that as soon as he got traded.
