He's just bad. And being a backup for the Nationals isn't going to help him. HE MUST be in the minors to learn how to control the field and the game behind the plate.

So in short....the Mets better win 2 of 3...and convincingly. This is not a good team were facing here...and its time to get it going. Otherwise.....expect the boo birds to dominate Shea all week long. Sidebar: Imagine if Manny Acta were the Mets coach right now. I'd take him in a heartbeat. Talk about motivating a bunch of scrub players...hes the master, and knows strategy. Too bad were stuck with the brainless wonder. The Nationals have lost 8 out of their last 9 games.

I think the Mets need more guys who play with that sort of emotion. They took it away from Reyes, traded away Milledge and LoDuca, and Pedro and Duque are hurt. For the most part this team just looks like they are going through the motions. I loved when Milledge high fived the fans. I think the Mets need more guys who play with that sort of emotion.

Hmm, does Acta have a problem with young players? Paulie's hitting just .200, and they have Estrada as the backup. I know if this situation existed on the Mets, Willie would be skewered here. But I guess Acta's different because the grass is always greener on the other side! If I were the Nats, I would not have gotten both Estrada and Lo Duca. I'd have Flores split duties 50-50 with either of them. On another note, I'm glad they're giving the bulk of the catching duties to Lo Duca. He's just not a very good catcher anymore and is hitting just .200. He hurt his hand the other day and he's insisting on playing against the Mets. Sounds selfish and familiar to me, but it's to the benefit of the Mets. In case anyone missed it, Schneider told the FAN today that he's been breaking in a new mitt. Because of the problems he's had with passed balls and wild pitches, he tossed the new glove out after Sunday's game. So those errant balls should decrease. He also said he wasn't using that as an excuse and another problem has been him just getting more familiar with the pitchers.

There's a perception here that Acta's "fire" is missing from the Mets bench, but here it is that he's pushing Willie's line about patience and steadiness. interesting comment about Manny Acta’s patience.

Milledge has 8 R, 1 HR, and 5 RBI's while Pagan has 9 R, 0 HR, and 10 RBI's. I think it's possible that with Pagan's defense, base running, and hitting skills, Mets fans will soon forget about Millege. Although, Milledge could be a great player in a few years, Pagan gives us what Milledge didn't, a mature young OF who plays hard all the time w/o "Pimpin Homers". Plus, Pagan is willing to play his role while Milledge only wanted to start. Good luck Milledge except when you play the Mets! Have we replaced Milledge with Pagan?
