I’m sure the phils are thing the same thing right about now.

It all evens out in the end.

Why all the Tatis haters?

I thought he turned the corner between yesterday and today.

And isn’t Church hitting better too?

He should only occasionally start. With Murphy and Evans holding their own though, it’s not necessary. Sheffield will be back. Church is doing well and we need his glove out in RF too. If Tatis does start though, the middle of the order is not where he belongs.

Oh I agree. Its still stupid…but he did drive the run in. Personally, no way I would have had him in the lineup.

Just ’cause it worked doesn’t mean it was the right move. If I take my rent check to Foxwoods and put it on black 22 and I hit, do I look smart?

It looks like the Twins were watching too much video of Mets defense

It’d be pretty nice to see the Rays take care of the Phillies tonight too…

Yeah. It’s a shame too to know that if Luis Castillo and Carlos Beltran caught their respective catches (or Wright didn’t boot that ball) they dropped in those games, they’d be up 2 games in the division right now. The one against the Phillies was a two game swing… That’s not even counting Ryan Church’s non-touch of 3B, but there was no guarantee K-Rod would get that save (especially with the defense that night).

I don’t like thinking about those games since what is done is done, but it irritates me that I have a feeling that they’ll be at least another 3 games lost like this… Easily enough to decide the division. It’s too bad our stupid manager couldn’t do intense defense drills like he did with his opposite field hitting drill (which is working)

Well every dog has its day. He didn’t exactly rip it. It was a bloop that wouldn’t have scored the run if the outfielder caught it. And he did pop up in the 8th with the bases jacked but on the positive side no DP’s

No he was picked off second he didn’t have a hand on second base and castillo had his glove on him for like 4 seconds and the umpire was blocked and didn’t see it. Wright was jumping up and down going nuts trying to get the third base ump to make the call
