The Mets (60–54) defeated the Padres (44–71) by the score of 5 to 3 in Shea Stadium today.
For a recap, boxscore, stats, etc., from today’s game, go to SNY.tv.
…i will have a write-up posted shortly, but for the purposes of a post-game discussion, here you go…but, i will say this…day off…for David Wright…guess not…well played, guys…
The Mets begin a three-game series with the Marlins tomorrow at 7:10 pm EDT in Shea Stadium, with Ricky Nolasco (11-6, 3.91 ERA) taking on Oliver Perez (11-6, 3.91 ERA).
What does the bullpen have against Santana?
Dumb theory:
Seems like maybe the Front Office told them to blow games so that he doesn”t vest any win related performance bonuses.
There is no way you think there’s even .00000000001% chance that this is true, right?
Not even a .000000000000000000000000001% chance that I believe it.
egnirc:
whew!
I don’t think (and I hope) no one would purposely tank a team like that.
Connie Mack and Charlie Comiskey did it 80 & 90 years ago. But I really hope that ain’t the case here.
He pays more in taxes than they make in salary?
I like the fact DW came through, but honestly, was that really necessary? As Jova1931 said, “What does the bullpen have against Santana?” Poor guy!
That’s the 6th game the bullpen has blown for Santana in the 23 games he’s pitched for the Mets.
Have any starters thrown more than 115 pitches in a game thi s year? Every game Santana comes out with 100 pitches and then the bullpen blows it. Can’t they sometimes stretch it out to 120 pitches?
I remember when jerry manual was named manager and during his press conference he said that one thing he wanted to do was let his pitchers go deeper…he said he felt they could throw 120 pitches
“Santana, just 9-7 in his first season with the Mets, left with a 3-1 lead in the eighth. It was the sixth time in 24 starts this season that the bullpen cost him a potential win, and in five of those the collapse came in the ninth inning. He has eight no-decisions, and in seven of those allowed two runs or fewer.”
Awful. He may have to pitch a complete game every. time. out.
We’re now 28-30 against teams under .500!
Time to party.
Party til the next game that the bullpen blows up in. OMAR MUST GO!
It’s a real shame if you can’t enjoy the wins…
I was enjoying it until the 9th inning.
What, do you have Santana on your fantasy team or something? Wright hit a walkoff homer in the 9th inning. You didn’t enjoy that?
I actually do.
I enjoyed the walk-off, but I’m more worried about the bullpen with 7 weeks to go.
I like to see Santana get his dues, if for no other reason to stop the inevitable “Santana was a huge disappointment” articles that are sure to flow off the presses once the season is over from moronic sports writers.
you know how normally, when a huge contract is signed and the player doesn’t live up to expectations, like barry zito, lets say? the giants would be saying to themselves, “Damn, we just payed this dude $1,000,000,000 and he really sucks.”
Do you think johan is doing the same thing, only opposite?
he’s on my team too, and yes I”m pissed for not getting the win ;)
also happy the mets won and that outweighs other concerns at this point.
Hes on my fantasy team also, and I was annoyed as hell, but at this point in this season I was not terribly surprised that Johan did not get the win. this bullpen is killing us. I hope the Mets at least tried to put a claim in on Chad Bradford today.
In other news,
“Here is a summary bit of information about that data, with Defensive Runs Saved (DRS) in parentheses. ”
“The best defensive team thus far has been the Phillies (+34), and they are above average at every position, which is impressive. The Phils division lead can be summed up in this, as the Mets (-12) and the Marlins (-20) are well behind them. “.
This is so bittersweet, it really is.
I’m ecstatic the offense bounced back and I’m thrilled for D-Wright…but UGH this bullpen really puts a damper on any hope.
I think we should clone Johan Santana 10 times over and we’ll be set. Santana could get the win every game!
Of course Johan would get every win if he was cloned 10 times. He’d also get every loss, every K, every IP…
The fans on this blog really don’t deserve this win.
And why not? They are stating the obvious…I know a win is a win…but honestly, the inconsistency of this bullpen really has to make you think about the race to the division title and the playoffs!
So worry about that. But if you’re not going to be happy with a win, what’s the point of watching the game?
It’s August. Sanchez has a dead arm. Wagner’s hurt.
This bullpen has plenty of solid arms – it was unhittable just a few weeks ago. It’s going through a bad stretch. Stop overreacting.
We watch with the hopes to catch a glimpse of a team that’s playing good baseball.
Little things, like getting Reyes home with 1 out from 3rd. Or maybe not blowing a save in the 9th to a AAAA player, getting a bunt down to move a runner over in the 9th.
The little things.
Nick Evans having 2 RBI?
Dan Murphy going 2 for 4?
Murphy and Cancel perfectly executing a hit and run?
Johan pitching another 7 solid innings?
The team winning?
Agreed Ryn05. And it is what got the Mets close to the World Series in 06. They are below average…and yes, I am glad they won…but honestly, they are lacking good arms.
You’re on this blog.
They won.
it doesnt matter how they did it. Now i just want them to do the same against the division.
Meh, I can understand what you’re saying but it’s hard to gain confidence in this team’s chances to make the post season when they can’t even hold leads against one of the worst offensive teams in baseball.
Good point Gina. The dramatic home run shouldn’t have occurred.
But what about their record against the better teams in baseball? Pretty good right?
above .500 teams. we’re 22-18, but most of that came against the Phillies.
True — there are wins and there are wins. Taking two out of three from SD is fine, but you would like to do it with less of a struggle.
I’ll be a bit more excited if we can take 2 of 3 this weekend.
While it’s great to see David slowly emerging from his slump I feel bad for Santana who is pitching amazing yet getting little results. Guess that means no Cy Young this year.
I guess Brandon Webb means no Cy Young this year. But you know what the Cy Young is? A sports-writer award. Nobody on the ‘86 team won Cy Young, MVP, ROY, Fireman of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, etc.
Awards are nice. Like my cousin Gladys. She’s, you know, nice.
Did you hear that stat? The Mets have blown 6 potential Santana wins in 23 starts, while the Twins bullpen blew 6 potential wins in 100 starts for Santana. That is incredible.
Stop thinking, just be happy we beat the Padres.
No, that is a troubling stat.
Forget it, I was joking.
I agree. It doesn’t help he doesn’t get much to work with in terms of offense.
two words….joe nathan
actually two words revised
FRANKIE RODRIGUEZ
Well, Johan will pitching for the Mets for a long time. Hopefully, what goes around comes around. Hopefully.
Amazing by David. That was a good slide even.
Just a great piece of hitting and we needed that in the WORST way.
Nice to see him turn it on, we need him to carry us the rest of the way.
why cant Kunz just get a chance to close the game? Does every single other releiver get a chance to blow a game before he gets a shot?
Probably because they’re waiting for him to settle in. He hasn’t really been lights out in the 2 innings he’s pitched.
I’m with you. He’s got the mentality and gives up few home runs (yesterday not included) due to the devastating sinker.
I know this is far ahead…but K-Rod? I know he is going to cost a lot…and I know Wagner will refuse to be the set-up man. What do the Mets do? Buy him out? Trade him a team not listed on the no-trade clause? What to do about this damn bullpen.
k rod is a bad idea, way too many miles on the odometer
The problem is K-rod isn’t going to solve our bullpen problems, he’ll just supplant Wagner, we’ll still have the same problems we have now when Wagner’s available.
There’s also the fact the Angels are going to use the hell out of his arm before the end of the season. Who knows what shape it will be in.
He’s pitched about the same amount of innings as Wagner and less than Homerun Heilman.
But he’ll cost 15 million…too much for a guy with a funky delivery.
I’m pretty sure he’s altered his delivery.
when he proves he can pitch the 8th, then i will let him close
He gave up a dinger last night, too.
Did you hear Cohen’s stat last night – that Kunz hadn’t given up a HR since his freshman year? That’s bananas.
And then not more than like 5 pitches later he does.
Gary Cohen is a home run jinx. It is uncanny.
So in the end there was complaining, there was moaning, there was the gnashing of teeth but we still took 2 of 3 against one of the easy teams on our schedule. The “unclutch” golden boy hit the big HR. The “overrated” CF had a big day. Our stopper Starting pitcher did his job. Except for the bullpen it was pretty much a big “shut the hell up” to all the critics on Metsblog.
Yeah. How dare they look at our team objectively.
when it comes to calling Dwright “unclutch” …you are not being objective, but just plain silly…please check his career numbers – late close/RISP/RISP with two outs….then you will see how wrong people are here about him
Calling him clutch or unclutch is silly. There’s almost no evidence to suggest that people are better or worse in clutch situations.
Yesterday he stunk up the joint. Today he looked like the Wright we love. Let’s count on more days like today, and fewer like yesterday.
When did I, or anyone else in this thread not getting excited about the win, say anything about clutch or unclutch.
If listened to Jerry Manuel after the game and he wasn’t exactly jumping for joy. He was very frustrated and worried by the performance of the bullpen. He doesn’t have the good fortune to live in never-never land and spend his time criticizing other posts on a blog.
I’m excited that the young guys are contributing. I hope they can keep it up.
Definitely the bright spot right now.
Murphy is going to be good, but I’m seeing a little too much of Nick Evans and A. Reyes for my liking.
As long as he fills the role of Reyes and not Easley, I actually may welcome Castillo back with open arms….
Reyes might play a decent 2b, but he also might get all of our of’s killed.
Evans has hit .296 with a .370 obp since he got called up again in July. Obviously he isn’t walking very much and strikes out to much, but I’d say those are respectable numbers for a rookie.
I thought it was hilarious seeing Hairston slide to third when he should have scored.
10 starts by Johan in which he’s allowed 2 runs or less and has gotten a ND or Loss. And the team is 3-7 in those starts. And in his last 7 starts he’s 2-0 with 5 ND’s and 4 of which he’s allowed 2 runs or less.
They are allergic to scoring more than 3 runs and the bullpen refuses to let him get a win. Unreal. Much needed win but they still aren’t playing well.
Right on. This is Pedro circa 2005.
We need Church back in that lineup. The big picture is our pitching has been good, our bullpen hasn’t but we can minimize our bullpen woes by scoring more runs.
Pedro circa 2005?
Are you watching the same games? I’m watching a Pedro Martinez that allows 22% of his fly balls to go over the wall.
No, I’m talking about Pedro’s games being blown by the bullpen in ‘05 is likened to that of Santana’s efforts this year.
I’m pretty sure that was a reference to lack of run support for an ace pitcher, not a comparison of Pedro Martinez then and now.
Ah, gotcha.
I hate that “And the team is 3-7 in those starts” stat because it makes it seem like Santana is bringing the team down when clearly its the other way around.
Only if you read that like an insane person.
I can’t say much because I was in favor of a day off for Wright but to all the Wright haters out there saying he is overrated and unclutch. It’s really not fair the stance you get to have.
If he sucks then you get to go on and on and try and make people believe that you are actually insiteful but if he does well then you just get to not post and be happy about a win. Lets see all those posters saying he is unclutch, come on to this thread and say it and see what kind of a fool you look like.
Waaah!!!! It’s not fair!!!! Hmmph.
I’m happy about the win, but I still think Wright is overrated and unclutch.
There, I came back and said it.
Bravo, the Golden Boy has his first hit worth remembering this season. BFD…he’s still not the guy I want up there with the game on the line.
does anyone know when going through waivers in August, does it go by league or overall worst record? As with Chad Bradford, did he go through the AL first? Thanks.
It goes bottom to top in your own league first then the same in the opposing league.
I may be mistaken but I believe I read a story a while back to this fact: That was David Wright’s first walk-off homerun in his BASEBALL career, meaning going back to high school. Congrats David its been a long time coming!
PS Johan Santana should have 18 wins right now, 18!
Dumb Theory #2: The Mets relievers are irked that Santana gets paid $137.5M to pitch every 5 days….while they get a fraction of that to pitch every day or close to it. <__>
Shame the Rays claimed Bradford.
lol…keep the theories coming.
#3 Santana receives commission from Giuseppe Franco and the Proced commercials??
Actually, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t known anything about it.
Did you know … Guiseppe Franco received the money to start up his first LA salon with money borrowed from a childhood friend named … Mickey Rourke? Hanging out with Mickey Rourke and Gary Busey? That, my friends, is hardcore. What’s next? Ken Wahl was the best man at his wedding? Jan Michael Vincent is his kids godfather? I’d believe anything at this point.
How come they don’t hate Pedro? He’s getting paid millions to pitch every other year.
LOL!
It really does suck that the Rays claimed Bradford, because he would have been perfect for this pen. Sinkerballer that doesn’t give up homeruns. Bingo!
I would have liked Omar to have made this happen before the deadline… all the O’s got for him was a player to be named later. We could have given better than that, because PTBNL’s hardly ever work out.
well my one day stint of being on wright’s case has concluded.
when the bullpen implodes i tend to blame the offense more. we don’t have a closer at the moment, and we need our stars to step up. today wright did, but we need to get the BP much bigger leads.
Closer or no there’s no excuse for a bullpen to not be able to hold leads. It’s not like they’re pitching lights out until we get to the 9th. They’ve been erratic all year.
i agree with that gina, but it’s gotten to the point where we know they can’t hold leads, and the offense has to pick them up. that’s all i was saying
This team’s inability to hit with runners on holds just as much responsibility for the terrible losses that we have had to endure. Yes, the bullpen has been erratic, and needs to improve, but even if and when it does, if the Mets don’t hit with runners on, we’ll be going nowhere.
Say what you want about Billy…..
And for the record TRS6, I was never in the ‘David is overated’ club.
Woo-Hoo! We Won! We Won !!
Did I mention you MF4D? If I did I did not mean to as it was to many many posters.
No, didn’t mean to imply you did. Just wanted to make it clear, I for one, am VERY happy DWright is our 3rd baseman….
Thsi team has so many problems and flaws and so little immediate future, it is very hard to get excited about bearly beating a team they should’ve busted up HANDILY.
Will anyone here really be suprised if the Fish come in and slap them around?
Individual wins are meaningless for this team. Throw together a few good weeks then we can maybe get excited.
Why aren’t you complaining at BeerLeaguer’s instead? Where your Phillies team is currently down 3-0.
I understand your frustration, being a life long Met fan myself…
but dude, are you ever happy? Or are you truly ‘Angry Fan’???
Yes, he is truly an “angry fan”. But it should be noted that he is an “angry fan” of the Phillies.
Eh, he’s just another one of those “realist” that get to pick every negative and never look at the positive. Then like I said they win either way. We lose and they can act like 4 year olds and say I told you so, we win then they get to be happy. They just get off on bringing down their own team so that way if they lose it won’t hurt as bad.
TRS86-
What “positives” are there exactly?
A team supposed to go to the series instead is in a life and death race just to stay out of 3rd.
Strike up the band, pop the bubbly!
You’re exactly right, thereal. Very insightful comment.
AngryFan keeps mentioning third place as if the mets aren’t in the hunt for first. As if they weren’t there recently. Keep justifying your miserable demeanor by talking about third place when the team is only 2 out of first.
“so little immediate future”???
Huh? Is being in a pennant race not worthy of being categorized as “immediate future? Are Wright, Reyes, and Santana mere bluechip prospects for the long haul down the future?
“Will anyone here really be suprised if the Fish come in and slap them around?”
Maybe. Maybe not. At least they’re beating up on the Phillies right now! Which is the team you root for, I believe.
“Individual wins are meaningless for this team. Throw together a few good weeks then we can maybe get excited.”
Did you forget that this team just won 10 games in a row not too long ago?
How have they been before that flukish streak, and since then?
Just askin’
And yes, I say “little immediate future” since I have zero faith in this core to ever get the job done.
I have 3 years of results on my side of the argument, you have….homerism?
you must be furious that it’s a nice day outside today, because eventually it will be winter.
No way dude. Then we have football ;)
Three years? They were one swing away from the World Series in 2006. One game away from the post-season last year.
I know we are paying a lot of money for the games, but still, those are the kind of results that most teams dream of.
you still suck
Addressed to the bullpen I see…
AngryFan, unfortunately for your theory, a few good weeks will simply be comprised of a bunch of meaningless individual wins.
CitizenSnips, How is saying the team is 3-7 in 10 starts in which he’s allowed 2 runs or less laying blame at Johans feet? Its just showing that they’ve blown so many opportunities in starts by their ace to win ballgames because of various reasons. You can’t blame him its been an equal effort on the part of the bullpen and offense
why is Jerry Manuel doing his Willie Randolph impression and “goin with my guys and my vets” by parading these guys who aren’t closers out there when we need a closer?
I’ll be the first to admit that Kunz doesnt have ANY experience on the big league level, but we all know he’s a CLOSER, he has that mentality so to speak. GIVE HIM THE CHANCE.
OR, keep joe smith in, the guy threw 4 friggin pitches
I mean, it’s a basic human quality. If what you’re doing isnt working or isnt helping, you change it and do something else. These guys are teh guys blowing it out there, GIVE teh kids some life..i mean jeez, up until wright’s HR, all of our runs were produced by Evans and the Murph. I’m not saying “ride the kids and thats the only way to win” but come on already. If these guys could close, they would’ve already in their MLB careers. NAME KUNZ THE CLOSER. If he blows it, fine…but when it’s proven others cant, go to the unknown
‘goin with his guys’?
dude, he started 3 rookies today.
i mean for the bullpen
ah gotcha
In fairness, Show had been great against lefties. If you leave Smith in and he gives up the HR, you scream, why didn’t he bring in the lefty to face gerut?
The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network reports that the Orioles have traded Chad Bradford to the Rays for a player to be named later.
Wheres omar with our bullpen help?
he was claimed off waivers from the rays, and i believe it goes bottom to top in ur own league first, then to the next league. I’m sure omar would have at least put in a claim had we had the chance
LOL, do you think Omar could have talked the Rays into not selecting Bradfor?
We have to have someone to trade for before we can start looking at deals. And we have to have someone to trade.
Eh if Bradford could have made it through waivers I am sure we could have gotten him. There will be others like him in the next couple of weeks.
I agree about Bradford, I’m talking about bullpen help in general. Most of the, decent, arms available before the deadline had pretty high prices.
Come on Gina, we didn’t have someone better than a PTBNL before the deadline? PTBNL’s almost never work out – they’re generally marginal prospects. We could have given them something better than that. I would have given Carp even. Certainly that’s better than a PTBNL.
Dick Pole>Balsely
now that its the olympic season, we get more quotes in the paper from dick pound. now THAT is an unfortunate name.
Is that a real name?
dick pound? yeah he’s the chairman of the world anti-doping body or something. google it.
I just did….can’t make that one up. Should be a good two week stretch. lol
just think when he fills out legal forms, it’s last name, first name so its
Pound Dick
i bet some people on here do that daily ;)
like it owes u money
I do wish the Mets had picked up ChadBrad, though. Kinda sucks that they didn’t.
There’s no way they could have after the deadline.
AL gets first dibs on AL players.
Is there an over/under on the amount of times Johan says “job” in his post game interviews? If the line is 3, I bet the house on over!
Job<Potential wins Bullpen has blown
Listening to Johan’s post game interview.
Kudos to him.
He’s happy with his performance, they won – which is the important thing, he knows he only has 9 wins but it is what it is. He doesn’t blame anyone, doesn’t brood over it, just tries to maintain consistency and help his team win a ball game.
Way to step up to the plate, Johan. Hopefully, we can get you a few more wins before this season is over….
Humm……Stokes starting Saturday’s game.
is that a fact?
I think so. Was going to be Vargas but he got injured. I think they wanted someone who could pitch from the pen after the start.
Sorry – should have added: They announced it on the post game show after the game.
in other news…brett favre
scott eyre to the phils. OMAR IS ASLEEP
scott eyre is HORRENDOUS this year…he’s been ok the last few, but he mighta just lost it…reminds me of a kid we have on our team…whats his name? Rhymes with wileman…i tend to block out things that anger me
Has almost an 8.00 ERA.
Maybe he needs a nap… Eyre is awful, as in worse than anything we currently have.
Or maybe its b/c Eyre is actually worse than anybody in our pen this yr.
Jerry Manuel and Scott Show = Lucky Bastards
I’m so excited to listen to Mad Dog kill Santana for only going 7+
“He will NEVER go past 7 innings, he’s HAD it.”
Mad Dog- SHUT UP!
I wonder if Santana is wishing he had never been traded.
I like what he says to the media – ‘we got the win, that’s what counts’, but…
he’s only human. I’m sure he’s thinking about all those blown saves. And who can blame him?
Not just the wins, but the state of the team itself. He said he wanted to go somewhere to win but at this point the Twins probably have a better chance of making the post-season than we do. Or about an even chance.
im also pretty sure he’s not complaining of his bi-wekly check
but no, im pretty sure it bothers us more than him, that’s really a non-issue (Hamels could say the same), the true issue is how the mets are gonna get through two wagner-less weeks. offense better heat up… good signs from beltran and wright though, of course delgado (not surprising, streak hitter) and tatis are cooling. but today just showed how youth can invigorate the team and the fans… when do we call up Carp and Niese?
There’s really no place to put Carp, but as for Niese idk.
i cant think of 137, 000, 000 reasons why he isnt
Chris Russo is infuriating.
Mad Dog = TRULY overrated….
Who rates him high?
The only thing I’ve heard him happy about this entire year was Lincecum on the cover of Sports Illustrated. (He didn’t like the article after reading it, calling it “too scientific.”)
Highlights Magazine is too scientific for that guy.
No secret that the M&MD show is about done. They are both horrible.
Mad Dog will be the new play-by-play guy for the Long Island Ducks. Mike will sign a deal to be the “after” picture for Arby’s.
I’m confused… did Manuel say blown save by committee or bullpen by committee when Wagner went on the DL?
it was bullpen by committee, it only takes one guy to blow the save
I really don’t like sending Reyes up there to bunt with Chavez on in the 9th. He’s not a great bunter and you take the bat out of his hand when he could put one in the gap and win the game right there. It worked out eventually, but I don’t like that move.
Anyone else have thoughts on it?
Not my favorite play.
I loved it. Reyes’s inability to bunt gives me warm memories of Rey Ordonez.
Is he still in the majors? He seemed to vaporize after he went to Tampa.
agreed, but u havta expect reyes to be able to get that bunt down theres no reason he shouldve popped out like that
Agreed, but let him swing away in the first place… he’s a better hitter than he is bunter.
Terrible play, then you let Hideous Reyes hit.
Hideous? The dude’s hitting .305 and on base at a .368 clip, slugging .496. What’s hideous? He;’s got great gap power, let him hit a double and Chavez scores.
No?
I am pretty sure he was talking about A. Reyes, whose first name kind of rhymes with “hideous.”
He’s a better bunter than you give him credit for, today notwithstanding, but I do agree with you that bunting Chavez over for A. Reyes is just silly. I have much more faith in Jose to get an extra-base hit than I do for Argenis to get a single. I know the stats don’t back it up, but in a big spot, I just do.
The mets won.
Does anybody realize it?
don’t think so.
Piazza is gone, doesn’t anybody realize it?
What?!?
Very happy indeed! However, it was more a sigh of relief than invigorating.
We’ve one 59 other games too, at this point one win doesn’t matter, it’s how they play and whether they can sustain winning, and unfortunately the way this game played out makes it hard to think they can.
Well we lost last year by A GAME… at this point every game is huge. And you can only build winning streaks with individual wins.
I understand that but why would that win make anyone believe we could build a winning streak, when we can’t even hold 2 run leads against one of the worst offensive team in baseball.
Maybe the ability to fight back and not give in?
This win was pure Giuseppe Karma
Fish beat the Phils.
philthies lose.
Yeah, but Marlins win.
Well, can’t have it both ways on that one. Might as well root against the guys in first place, and then take care of the Fish when we see them next.
Wow, Shoeinweis owes Wright a steak dinner after that one…
So, it looks like we’ve crossed Heilman and Shoeinweis off the “spot closer” list. Who’s next? If everything goes according to plan, every member of the bullpen will blow a ninth-inning lead, at which poing Wagner can return from the DL.
Well, it was really GREAT to beat Heath Bell. I really cant stand that guy.
Thank you Nick Evans for making a spectacular play on a poorly thrown ball by Jose to turn the DP with the bases juiced. I was at the game so I couldn’t tell whether the ump made the right call or not, i.e., whether Evans’ foot came off the bag, but he made an outstanding stretching scoop on the ball. Nice play by Argenis as well. Black and I think the pitching coach were tossed in between innings shortly thereafter, though it looked there was an argument over the double switch.
i mean he has 10 starts, think of it, dont you think that with a mediocre bullpen, with the 6 wins, with the 15 total wins, with the strikeouts, with the top 5 in era, with 10 starts to go, he could have been well over 20 wins, but even so, he still has a shot to get 15 wins maybe even 17.
U can hear from a far Willie laughing in shame
Mike & the Mad Dog = Goofus & Gallant
A win’s a win, but no one should be happy about how the Mets won this game.
And by the way is Omar even alive? Not that these would be great pickups but in the last two days, Hernandez goes to the Rockies, and today Giles is about to be traded to the Red Sox, Eyre signed with the Phillies and Chad Bradford got traded to the Rays.
These are players that would give us depth in positions we are seriously lacking. I don’t know maybe the players didn’t get to us on the waiver wire, but come on man wake up.
And Saturday Stokes is starting instead of Niese. Stokes is a proven mediocre pitcher in the majors while Niese could give this team a shot in the arm.
HEY MET FANS…IS DAVID WRIGHT STILL OVERRATED?? LMFAO!!
SHAME ON YOU GUYS!!
and Carlos Beltran..how about him, 3 for 4 today (.284 so far after the all star break)
SHAME ON YOU GUYS!!
ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER BULLPEN MELTDOWN. I SWARE THEY MAKE ME WANT TO VOMIT! I’M GLAD SCOTTY AND SANCHEZ ARE ON WAIVERS. NEXT HOPEFULLY IS GOODBYE FOREVER!
