I think that loss last night is propelling a hot streak. Maybe at the right time when the Phillies are about to get smacked up.

What a coward. I bet you he's on here next time they lose a tough one. I know I wasn’t the only one to think he wasn’t coming back. What a coward.

Especially if Figueroa is to be our long man. I don't know whether or not he's making a spot start. I'm hoping Ollie's going out on Friday.

In fact, considering the seasons he's had for the Mets in 06' and 07' I'd actually say he was underrated. It's been a collective effort. No one in the Mets bullpen is perfect. Even the guy's with the best numbers (Wagner and Schoenweis) can't be trusted. Instead, we're putting the ball into guy's like Ayala and Heilman who's ERA's are in the 5's and got like 8 losses. I'm not saying they shouldn't because it can be anyones guess, but the whole Mets bullpen is below average. They're coming together at the right time. Let's just hope the lights don't burn out.

He's given us production. He just almost hit for the cycle. I'm not saying Luis is bad. I'm saying he's rusty and it's going to take him time to get it together. I think a strict platoon will preserve Damion's health. With Castillo and Church back now it's more than understandable why this would reduce Nick Evans and Argenis Reyes playing time, but I just don't have as much confidence in Luis. I think he was part of the problem when Willie was here. He's barely played under Manuel. He hasn't been apart of our big win streaks. Maybe he'll play well though. I think what you're saying is more likely to happen, but I just don't agree with it. What’s wrong with Damion’s numbers. He’s given us production. He just almost hit for the cycle.

The idea of Luis hitting 7th isn't bad either. The only problem is he just doesn't have a lot of power. If he were hitting righty, it'd work better. Those are Damion's starts though. Damion can bat second too. He's not the fastest guy, but he's been getting the job done. Why not hit Beltran second? He hasn't been driving in as many as he could. Delgado's thriving in the clean up spot. We got Church back who can bat 5th. We can use Tatis 6th, Damion or Luis 7th and Schneider 8th. And on Murphy or Evans starts, you can bat them 2nd while moving Beltran down 5th and Church 6th. I remember when Edgardo Alfonzo was moved into batting second from third he thrived. He also did great in the 2 hole in 99'. Wright's got more speed than him. Fonzy was slow. So you never know about that possibility either. Yes. The idea of Luis hitting 7th isn’t bad either.

I expect it to be even and maybe even lean towards Castillo. Easley had already started to sit the bench for A. Reyes and he was half the hitter that Castillo is. I am not sure how that's even possible but look at the stats. That’s just not going to happen in September. I expect it to be even and maybe even lean towards Castillo.
