Where is Wise so we can send Sosa down to AAA or even send Heilman down until he can get his crap together.

A 90 win team will lose 72 games and still be considered the Division champ. To win 90 games the Mets just have to finish 79-62 so strap in ladies and gentlemen, we still have 62 loses to suffer thru! yes thank you I meant 81-81 is .500 you only have to win 9 of those 81 loses to finish with 90 wins.

We need a more effective long man. Hows Vargas/Armas doing? anyone know david lennon blog (newsday)

Throwing him in the game is essentially conceding. We have wrung all the value we're gonna get from him, he needs to go.

Ollie's the starter. I think he has to take the responsibility for the mess he created. If he gets out of it, great. Then you bring in a reliever next inning with nobody on the bases. But to hook Ollie for a struggling reliever when there are two in scoring position seems odd at best. Or, let him let up his own runs and bring in a reliever when things aren’t as dire.

Why go to a guy who's gassed. Why go to a guy who's struggling when all you need is to get one right handed batter out. That's why Willie has to take some heat here. That being said, I'm shocked SHOCKED he didn't hook OP in the 5th. For what it was worth. But if Sosa is gassed then you can blame Willie. Why go to a guy who’s gassed.
