        notice last night that CANCEL didnt have the rally cap going …like the others in the dugout…I think he knew about the demotion yesterday before the game. Check the tapes…he was down.

    I’m going to tonight’s game, it will be fantastic to see him out there. I am not expecting much but at the very least I hope the guy is healthy for good this time.

    I won’t be able to see him come back, it’s my grandmother’s birthday. *sniff* Anyone know where the lineup is?

    looks like the team is coming together lately. WIll be intereting to see what the configuration is on 9/1 (preplanning for the playoffs, but knock on wood).

    Ryan Church is awful.

    (Sorry, just wanted to be a contrarian. I don’t think that.)

  8. mouserdz says:

    He should start wearing a batters helmet on field for extra protection, ala Johnny Olerud

    wait we aren’t carrying three catchers anymore!

    what is OMAR and Jerry thinking!

    Fir em both

    I think we need to carry 15 catchers~!

  10. ags412 says:

    Olerud wore a helmet because of his aneurysm. Helmets will not do much for a concussion (ask a football player).

    Besides – the last time he got a concsussion, he was running the bases and had a helmet on.

    • toomanyuniforms says:

      I’m thinking concussions might be more prevalent in the NFL were there no helmets, but perhaps I’m wrong.

    I’ve got the same giddy feeling I get when a rookie or newly acquired player makes his debut with the Mets…Go get ‘em, RYNO!!!!!!

    Wright, 3b
    Delgado, 1b
    Beltran, cf

      I love seeing Murphy and Church next to each other in the lineup. TYPICALLY, you know what you’re going to get from the top and middle of lineups and it’s the bottom that can really make or break a game. Our bottom of the lineup is now one that teams cannot take lightly. Platoon that with Tatis when it’s a lefty on the bump and we’re still in great shape with our 6th and 7th spot.

      Ah, the Irishman in front of the CHurch. Seems like a good fit.

      Let’s Go Mets!

      Welcome back, Ryan!

      you know, here is an interesting tidbit we havent seen all year, or for that matter, the past 5 years….

      what do you get if we use the same lineup as tonight, but include pelfrey ?

      CMON, its on the tip of your tongue.

      You want to say it but are too shy.

      IS it not obvious to you, a diehard METS fan?

      You watch them EVERY night and dont know?

      ANSWER: we actually have a mostly blanco beisbol lineup….muchas gracias para los Mets!

      Guess I’m the only fan to see it, but at least I see it happening, and call it as it is.

      It has made me much less of a fan. I can relate as well to the team, for the same reason the GM wants to grow the fan base to other demos, the one he feels will always be here is waning. and that is why they have decreased their attendance in the seating capacity for next year…so tickets will always be in demand even though you dont relate to the team.

    what are we gonna do with only 2 catchers on the active roster?

    I really hope he is healthy enough. That lineup does look nice with Murph and Church. can’t wait. Lets go METS…Johan

    about time robinson cancel went down. he calls a good game, but he really didnt do that much to warrant a spot in the big leagues, let alone the mets.
