My family and visiting cousins are going to the Monday game, while I hope to also go to all three games with my father and brother. It'll be interesting to possibly see Santana and Niese pitch.

I think it's more about playing for a manager he gets along with. Willie made those not-so-subtle digs at Delgado not getting his uniform dirty, etc. Whatever the case, it's great seeing him be the Carlos of old.

I'm going to that game and would love to see him pitch in person. If Pedro is pitching on Sunday in Milwaukee, does that mean Santana is starting on Monday?

People dont seem to realize that Delgado and Ollie have turned it on of late because they were seeing their wallets get smaller and smaller. I know delgado has a money option regardless of him staying or leaving, but if he stays he gets more money so why wouldnt he play better now? ….and its a contract year so he’s looking to get as much money as possible…scott boras called him the next johan haha.

But then again with the confidence he's had why not? haha you put a lot of thought into that and it makes a lot of sense, minus pitching pelf in a one game playoff.

I honestly think we've seen the best of figeroa and the mets should turn to a younger player. I think its as good a time as any to bring niese up and throw him to the wolves to see how he responds. I mean, if hes a 5th starter he only really needs to keep the mets in the game so they have a chance to win it. wasnt his ERA like 5+?

This much is true. We have had guys step up and guys improve, which is nice, but it still is not a good system. I do agree that Omar played his part perfectly (like he always does), and it is nice for him to get some credit. I would probably rather see Parnell start right now, but Niese is a fine choice and I am excited to see how he does. I just hope he can peform in this pennant race. Also, let calm down on Murphy. He has been impressive, but the whole "he is a star and the rest of the league is just stupid" idea is crazy. He is already on his way back to earth. You guys really need to stop crowning guys after 2 weeks of their career. Lets go MEts. Well, our farm system is sort of dry. This much is true.

That kind of thing builds team character.

As we've seen, young pitchers can take some time to develop. Also, lefties usually require more time to mature.
