I think your wrists play a role in how you swing. Once he got back on track, it was just good ol regular Delgado. Delgado was still recovering from having WRIST SURGERY.

Who to say Untley will recover to full strength, Moyers might not be any good, what happen if the Phil are effected by the left heavy line up, and who to say theire bulpin will hold up this year. No body know. Why Tatis can't do it again, Murphy can be the real deal, Church could start off right where he was before the head jam. We can only go by what we seen last.

That's not how blogs work. This site is just Matt's take on issues and news related to the Mets. If you aren't interested in his opinions, then don't read them. Claiming that he, as a blogger, should only voice the opinion of the majority of Mets fans (which is impossible anyway, since we have to define what "fan" means in the first place and there's no way to actually poll all of them), is like saying that a political blogger shouldn't be allowed to praise George Bush because of his low approval ratings or be allowed to criticize Palin because that goes against the "voice of the people of Alaska." The entire concept of a blog is that it's just one person's (or a rotating group of people's) take on things- if you're not interested in his personal opinion- regardless of how you or other Mets fans feel about it- then just read someone's that you are interested in.

Most Mets fans are upset that the Mets are loweing payroll while raising ticket prices. It also bothers me that a team so close to a championship would suddenly become frugal after 4 years of putting the peices together to be in a position to win. And yes, someone will respond and say “They got K-Rod and Putz, what’s wrong with you?” K-Rod is making $8.5 mil. Putz is making as much as Heilman and Chavez. Pedro, Perez, Alou, Duque, and Easley came off their books. To have a lower, or even flat payroll (where they seem to be heading), when you are asking your fans for more money per seat is disgusting. I believe the Mets are only motivated to spend by fan outrage. Cerrone giving them a pat on the back for not spending, being afraid to negotiate with Perez because the Yankees “might” want him, is part of the problem. enough blind love already and call them out. Besides the ticket price increase, they have asked for and received millions in dollars in tax breaks for the city and state government- you and I will inevitably foot the bill for their millions in savings. The least they could do is put their best foot forward with providing their fans with the best team they possibly can. This looks like another 88-90 win team that will fight and claw up the the last weekend, and if they have some injuries, willfall short a 4TH STRAIGHT YEAR. Just being honest….

Omar is a weak GM in adjusting and making deadline moves. He could have had Brain Fuentes last year for Jonathan Niese. I guarantee that the Mets win the deivison with Fuentes. Our division winner won the WS. But, hey, we have Jonathan Niese in AAA!!!

I remember in 2006, when short on LH specialists, Omar tried a similar strategy and invited a lot of guys to camp and wound up with Darren Oliver AND Predro Feliciano and they won a division...
