Let’s Go Mets - keep it going, Pelf!

I would consider this our A lineup right now. Gotta keep the bats going. Hopefully Pelf can got out of the funk he’s been in lately.

You can’t “close” with a ten run lead! ;)

But, if we do find ourselves in a save situation, you can bet it’s going to be situational. If there are lefties, it will be Feliciano. Righties or switch hitters = Heilman.

Oh wait — it’s Jurrjens. You definitely CAN close when the score is 2-1. Asking a lot of Pelfrey, but, you know — gotta believe, and such.

Jerry is killing me with these lineups. Argenis Reyes in the 2-hole? Dude can barely keep his OBP above .300. Not the kind of hitter you want getting the 2nd most ABs. Let’s see Beltran or Murphy in that important lineup spot, not Castillo, Jr.

tpac what have u been smoking - a-rey has been getting the clutch hits that gets reyes in scoring position- there has been more hits and runs plays called since he’s been in the 2 hole

.306 OBP. bad, bad bad. a nice 8 hole hitter, maybe.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the Mets’ bullpen problems lately and I think the best solution might be to go out and get one of the bats that has cleared waivers, either Aubrey Huff or possibly Melvin Mora of the Orioles (have always liked Mora since his early Mets days). I love what the Mets have been getting from Murphy and Evans but I’m a bit worried they may be exposed once the scouting report gets out on them. Another quality bat can help take some stress off the pitching staff. Like the Al Reyes signing today, low risk high reward type of move……

LoL.
You have to give A. Reyes credit here in the first. He’s trying to follow in J. Reyes’ footsteps with a Reyes run…..
