Gotta say I agree with you. I thought that Wang’s stuff would make it go to the bullpen, at the very least.

better yet he makes Bobby “OMG its the wall!!!” Abreu look good.

coughlin didn’t have the history of spectacular failure than willie does now. limping in to the playoffs and losing is still a great deal less painful than epic regular season collapse.

as a card carrying willie basher, i would LOVE to be proven absolutely, totally wrong.

Actually, his real name is Joba, though he was born with the name Justin. He had it legally changed some time ago.

I just want to weigh in regarding your screen name, which is the best I’ve seen, OF AWLL THE DRAMATIC screen names out there.

Also, re: Giants/ Mets, it happens that managers/coaches who have shown zero to a certain point with a certain group can stumble upon the right set of motivational tools, the right schedule, maybe a player who hadn’t stepped up does due to injury or other stimulus, and all of a sudden, they’re rolling. That’s what I’m clinging to. I’m on record (and hardly alone in this) as saying that the team will never win with Randolph, but I was impressed with the approach this week. I think these guys need a chip on their collective shoulder.

The problem is that that sort of attitude is tough to maintain. It may be that a dogfight for the playoffs will help them. To go back to a football analogy, sometimes the slow floater to a wide open receiver that he can watch all the way in is the toughest to catch — too much thinking.

Then again, we still need to see comebacks. I mean, I’m fine with not needing comebacks, believe me, but over the course of the season, you’ve got to be able to come from behind.

As the Mets are when Pedro is in the rotation instead of Claudio Vargas/Nelson Figeroa/Brian Lawrence/Philip Humber/Chan Ho Park…(do I need to keep going?

Your point is a valid one, and I agree with it totaly, particularly with a player of A-Rod’s caliber. However, injuries happen in baseball.

Not to be a Yankee apologist, but insert A-Rod and Posada into that lineup and they are a much much better team.

I’d rather have the games in Colorado myself… they should be more winnable.

The unbalanced schedule stinks, though.

I can’t believe, after the constant and negative articles (and comments) on this site all last week, that you can say “‘the best part about yesterdays game was the Met fans chanting in Yankee Stadium’”! Who the hell cares about that?

How about:
Timely hitting from top-to-bottom
Excellent defense
Scoring in the next half-inning after the Yanks put up runs
Starting Pitching excellence!!!
Hitting with RISP
Executing fundies
Relief pitching
And Managing/Coaching

Really, Matt, I’m starting to believe that Buzz whoeverheis comments about bloggers….

Sheesshhh, talk about fickleness
