According to Adam Rubin of the Daily News, RHP Carlos Muniz is on his way from New Orleans to Shea Stadium.
Rubin continues on to explain why Aaron Heilman or Matt Wise could be the player Muniz replaces.
In three appearances earlier this season, Muniz allowed no runs and two hits while striking out two batters.






Great signing my Omah. wise is awful
Just friggin great… why can’t Delgado be the 1 whose hurt?
I propose the Mets make at least one roster changed every single day. Yes, even during off days. Maybe the Mets can keep Delgado on the 25-Man roster but keep him useful by changeing his position. Delgado can be a hotdog or beer vender one night, then a Shea Stadium security guard the next. If he does a good job, then he can play the field.
Substitute Delgado with Heilman, Reyes, Beltran, and the rest of the team then rinse and repeat.
NEW YORK — The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The fourth-place Mets trail the first-place Marlins by 6 1/2 games after the Marlins’ 7-3 victory at Shea Stadium on Monday. The game was the Mets’ 49th and the Marlins’ 50th.
On May 30, 2004, the Mets 49th game was also the Marlins’ 50th. The Marlins’ 8-6 victory at Pro Player Stadium put the fourth-place Mets 6 1/2 games behind. The Marlins led the National League East that day.
The Mets’ and Marlins’ respective records — 23-26 and 30-20 — in 2004 are the same after Monday night, too.
Warning: The Marlins faded and finished third, 13 games behind the first-place Braves. The Mets collapsed and finished fourth, 25 games from first.
Note: Three Marlins from that 8-6 victory four years ago witnessed the 7-3 game as Mets on Monday, and two of the three participated. Damion Easley pinch-hit in both, and Luis Castillo played second in both. Ramon Castro, who had four at-bats for the Marlins in 2004, was a dugout spectator on Monday.

Interesting statistical oddity, but otherwise pointless…unless Art Howe and Ty Wigginton are coming back.
right now would even play 1st?
Looks to me like we might be seeing Wright as 1B some time in the next year or so
Big brown in a 1b and Delgado to run the Belmont next wekend
wise was a bad signing??????? he gets paid nothing, it was a great signing, its when 2MM Jorge sosa signing dont pan out that are bad deals, or 1MM to Dave Williams last year…oh no Brady Clark as a non-roster invite didnt work either!!! terrible Omar!!! how dare you pay 25K to people who didnt pan out, we only want our 119MM beltrans to play like little leaguers!!!
Where’s my boy Nady…a rock like that is badly needed.
in pittsburg
Can we trade Heilman for Nady? Please?
Supposedly the Pirates might trade him and Heilman still has some value.
He can play first for us. Please baseball Gods- you owe us.
I love it…then we can trade Nady back to the Pirates for a struggling Zach Duke or Tom Gorzelanny…and then re-acquire him for Tony Armas Jr. We can keep getting undervalued starters for Nady and then getting him back for worthless pieces!
I”m cool with it if you are.
As usual, we’ve driven Heilman’s value down to nothing, instead of using the insight that comes with watching him every day to trade high. The guy is either all over the place, or throwing the most hittable ball in the majors, or both.
he cost us a game this year
how about the 3 games castillo cost us in the last 2 weeks?
how bout the 3 games in the last 4 reyes has cost us, even the one where he hit 2 HR’s he cost us with his defense.
How about the games Pelfry and Ollie have cost us.
Or that the offense in general has by not hitting.
This game’s easy to play…
Especially if you just say, “”How about the games the Mets have cost us by SUCKING?!”
that would be too good to be true
Perhaps Heilman pitching two innings last nite is a sign that they’ll try him as a starter in place of Pelfrey next go round, and replace him in the pen with Muniz?
That’s a nice idea.
I simply can’t believe there are still people who think Aaron Heilman will ever - or should ever - start a game as a Met.
What are we more likely to see first?
A. Santa Claus
B. The Loch Ness Monster
C. Mets starter Aaron Heilman
D. A Unicorn
Are you implying that Santa Claus is in fact NOT coming to town?
aww man i had cookies and everything……
No, A. Santa Claus is the answer ;)
Heilman needs to be joba”ed in order to be a sp
My bad, you’re right - I guess there’s not enough time. It is, however, nice idea. Especially if he worked as a starter who we could then trade.
Thanks.
Rubin:
UPDATE: Word is Matt Wise is again ailing and is headed to the DL.
Brilliant!
We should just let him pitch hurt all season and sabotage games like we did with Schoeneweis last year or Looper in 05. Willie trusts his guys, even if they are injured.
Can we send willie to the DL?
HAHAHAHA! Best post ever!
What will happen first??
A.Willie Fired
B.Wright get a 2 out hit with risp
C.Heilman a Mets Sp
D.Delgado has a month hitting 320
E. Reyes admits he is off the crack
D. Hopefully.
It’ll be D, but it’ll be some quirk where he hits .320 over 4 days and then gets hurt.
I think Pelf is a nice kid, maybe we can turn him into a reliever, put some pepper in his food to make him mean.
BTW, I figured out a way for Willie to get some production out of his players … Waterboarding.
Bad footwork in the infield … waterboarding!!!
Don’t run out a play … waterboarding!!!
Walk the pitcher with a 3 run lead … WATERBOARDING!!!!
These will guys will start playing some good ball, you’ll see.
Or maybe they will grow gills?
this is hilarious.
Peterson sucks, has he made a good reliever out of anybody yet?
He helped Ollie for awhile, 3 seasons ago Ollie could not get out of his own way. But, slowly he is regressing as well.
But, if a reliever isn’t good before he gets here, he is not making a transformation under The Jacket’s watch.
Sanchez was alot better in 06 than he ever was as a Dodger, DBack or Pirate. Not sure if the jacket has anything to do with that.
Nah, he came out the gate like gangbusters. Last year Joe Smith came out the gate like gangbusters.
This year the gang is just busted.
BTW - what ever happened to Delgado’s notebook? Have we seen that thing in 2 years?
i think they made it into a movie…I think Jim Rockford was in it.
ive been asking that one myself. no one talks about that anymore.
gary/keith/ron have been very quiet about it as well.
anyone else think Wise has an odd delivery…and not in a good way?
he reminds me of a catapult…he sort of leans back with the ball straight up in the air and then sort of tips forward catapulting the ball towards home…it seems like the hitter would have a good view of the ball the whole time.
LMAO!!! I know. I guess writing down how much you suck can be painful after a while.
We need this guy to turn the corner. D Wright can not carry the team the way Delgado & Beltran can.
They should use big pelf as a long man.
