I think we’re as far behind STL for the wildcard as we are the phillies for the divison lead. And I’d say they’re a more complete team than the Phillies.

According to Newsday, Church seemed to be pretty upset that he wasn’t in the lineup. When asked by reporters he basically walked away saying that he wants to play. Then he was asked to pinch hit and he said he couldn’t do it. Now maybe this is a lot to do about nothing but maybe Church is not going to allow Willie to sit him and then just pinch hit. I thought last night’s lineup was really weak.

But, even if thePhils run away with the division, the NL WC should be wide open this year. So even playing erratically, the Mets could still make the playoffs, and anything can happen once you are in!

the Mets just have too many hitters right now that are marginal, at best, major leaguers. No wonder they have trouble with rallies and scoring runs.

Easley, Tatis, Castillo, Delgado, Chavez all should never be starting on a regular basis.

Schneider isn’t much better offensively, although he can get a pass as a defensive catcher (although you can’t carry one of those when you have so many other holes in the line up).

Last night, they only started 3 legit major leaguers out of 8. That just isn’t good.

At least if Church and Alou come back, they will only be carrying 2-3 black holes.

On the Ryan Church injury, did anyone catch Willie on Mike and the Mad Dog this week? they discussed how Chruch was doing, and at one point Willie noted that the doctors have given him the o.k. and at some point Church is going to have to “suck it up” and get on the field. Interesting, no?

Look at the lineup the Mets lost to last night, and with their ace! And it’s not like they got shut down by Koufax or anything. Anyway, it’s really hard to blame the team’s mediocre manager anymore, this team simply isn’t that good. I’m at the point now where I think the focus should be on the wild card because I look at the Mets and then the Phillies and realize, these two teams aren’t in the same stratosphere. If the Phillies were playing againt the Padres last night, they would’ve prison raped Wolf.

you obviously stopped pitching attention to f-mart at the end of April. He’s been a teenage hitting machine look at his splits.

Is the really that much of a difference, between 3rd and 4th place? Especially when you’re a team with a 140 million dollar roster who brought in an ace to propel you to the world series? really anything out of the play-offs would feel the same as finishing dead last to me.

At least with Rollover Perez going tonight the game should be over around 10:30. I’m tired of staying up to watch this team score 1 run against a horrible pitching staff.

“if this team wasn’t in NY they would be trading off pieces right now.”

what pieces? Wagner and Beltran have no trade clauses, Reyes and Wright, should be untouchable. And I can’t imagine anyone else has very good trade value.
