Jerry Manuel is horrendous. That is all I have to say.

maybe if the team keeps tanking but sheffield continues to hit we can sell him to an AL team for something. I mean we really dont have much to sell to begin with but i mean his salary is so low and if hes a DH im sure someone in the AL could use him.

absolutely, trades are always available to be made you have to go out and get them done. guys are adam dunn, matt holliday, etc are not untouchables they can be had and if not can omar go after someone else I mean can he think outside the box or does he just look at mlbtraderumors and try to figure out what he should do next.

Correct. 2009 is not the same as 2007/2008. The latter was mostly due to bad performance. The former is mostly due to injuries to your most important personnel. Put it this way, between 2006-2008, Reyes, Beltran, Wright and Delgado all appeared in at least 139 games in a season. Last year, they all appeared in at least 159. This season, Reyes and Delgado probably won’t reach 100 and Beltran, if lucky, might reach 125-130.

I have been a big Daniel Murphy fan, but I am really down on him lately. He rarely gets a good swing, is late on most fastballs and is being hammered with the inside stuff. He never seems to drive the ball any more. His baserunning has always been shaky and we all know about his defense in LF. Then tonight he played defense in that first inning like a total buffoon…one major mental error on the vapprlock and ill-advised late throw to third and one physical error that should have been charged on that DP ball.

For first time I’m beginning to qestion whether he’s really a major league talent.

What a crap depressing weekend on all counts. A ton of onjured players, a bushelful of errors and dumbass plays in the field, and three days of limp at bats and poor execution when it came to moving up what few runnewrs we had.

And toi top it off we have a seond rate manager who ignores facts and figures because he likes to go with his gut, insists on starting a washed up Tatis when he should be DFA’s and who makes lineup and game strategy decisions that are sometimes baffling to the point of disbelief.

Having said all that, I have been a Met fan since 1962 and will never walk away. It just hurts to see us so ravaged by injury, bedeviled by stupid mistakes and errors and led by a guy who can’t manage a bullpen, can’t consistently fill out an intelligent lineup card and regularly makes poor decisions.

Right. Because this team plays solid fundamental baseball that hasn’t cost them multiple games this year.

-The entire team 1 hands catches all the time.
-They don’t run plays out.
-They don’t communicate simple pop ups.

-Razor Shines is a joke of a 3B coach who never stopped a runner until a month ago after being burned so many times previously.
-Murphy is TERRIBLE and has been all year. He can barely hit, and his hitting doesn’t make up for his atrocious defense at LF or 1B.
-Tatis can’t hit anymore, yet hits in the 5 hole. WTF?!?!?
-Cora has been exposed as not being able to be an everyday player.
-Perez: Million dollar arm, 10 cent brain.

And that’s just off the top of my head.

Who on the Mets current roster that you would be willing to unload would command a high price in the trade market? No one is going to give you much of anything for Murphy, Evans, Tatis, Cora, etc.

No team in the Mets current injury situation would survive over the long haul. Imagine the Yanks with A-Rod, Jeter and Tex all on the DL at once or the Phillies with Ibanez, Howard and Victorino all on the DL? There are too many holes to fill. I’m not willing to mortgage the future in order to get a rent a player who won’t really make much of a difference at this point and Derosa and Dunn fit that category.

Stupid line.

The issue is the length of the DL.

I am tired of people thinking this is a 2007/2008 issue, and more tired of Mets fans thinking this. If you do think this, or think that Somers line is intelligent, then I have to quetsion if YOU have been watching the Mets this season.

Steve Somers had the best one liner about that “You can take the Mets out of Shea, but you can’t take the Shea out of the Mets.” This is going to be a long rest of the season.

if there are no trades to be made then why aren’t we sellers? Even with the guys on the DL this team is NOT a Championship team, get ready for next year by trading anything and everything that can get you to that point. I mean where is the starting pitching to begin with? Pelfrey, Maine and Perez suck plain and simple and they’re our 2-4 starters. If Maine gets healthy trade him, along with schneider
