I know I definitely would. I think everyone here would rather see Castro in the line-up than Schneider. I know I definitely would.

Why not use Castillo or A. Reyes in that spot instead of Evans or Murphy? It was to lead off the inning and one thing Castillo does do is work the count and get on base. Then you only waste 1 guy and have to good hitters for later. Some one pointed it out earlier today. Why not use Castillo or A. Reyes in that spot instead of Evans or Murphy?

We'll win tonight. I'm not going to complain about games. The transactions are the things that are just pure common sense. Luis' signing probably brought loss less credibility to not just Omar's name, but the franchise. The Beltran contract wasn't that bad. They should have signed Vladimir Guerrero the year before, but they didn't think his back would hold up. With inflation, his contract's actually come to be around market value. After this year, he'll have 3 years left. Probably the amount of time he may only be worth having for. Pedro had a great 05' season and first half in 06'. PArt of the reason why we got out to such a lead in 06'. Since than though, he's declined. I can understand why they signed him though. Let's just win tonight and get into the playoffs. It's not as hard as some of us think. Not so easy either though. 29 games. 73 wins with 29 to go. Just like Marlon said, 92. 19-10 has been done before with thios team. It’s only one game.

We could use his defense more than Castillo/Easley and their slightly less terrible hitting. Reyes would be a good guy to have off the bench as a pinch runner and to start when Pelfrey’s pitching.

One loss last doesn't nobody knows what there doing. Omar was horrible for signing Castillo to 4 years. but do you think that the wilpons would given out the money to beltran like they should and way over paid pedro to atleast get some creditability in franchise as being serious players in the game of baseball. A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD SOUND LIKE JEROME FROM BROOKLYN ON WFAN SPEWING THESE DUMB@#% TRADES. everyone need to calm down and just watch the game tonight and relax because its not life or death if the team has a loss tonight.
