ScottN I’m sorry but there are thousands of baseball players around that can hit .245 and play serviceable 1st base. We need a big bat at first not a serviceable first baseman that can’t hit over .250. The Murphy experiment has to end. You could deal with it maybe if Beltran and Reyes are back but they aren’t and we need offensive production NOW!

This is F’ing stupid. We needed a bat a damn month ago. In that time we’ve lost too many games, and time, to Philly. They stunk worse than us and there was such a great opportunity to move up in the standings. We didn’t need a Dunn or a Huff, but a pro hitter. F-Mart is too young and raw. Murphy is over rated by most Mets fans. The guy stinks. Cora is a bench player. We’ve been playing with minor leaguers at 2 key spots. Tatis has been terrible too.
But those 2 holes in the lineup killed us. And not adding at the very least an average bat has shot us in the foot, and mark my words, ended our season. This past month killed us by thinking we could just get by. Guess what? Philly’s going to get healthy soon too. So when Ibanez gets back what makes you think they’ll still stink it up? Does Delgado and Reyes coming back automatically make us better than Philly? It didn’t last year.

many superstars manage with less behind them, Wright just seems to be given the courtesy excuse and my point was more that he is no leader, leaders step up, not slant sideways

No it is not all his fault, but he is a leader like I am the next elected president. He is a wet diaper, no one is going to follow him.

slumps happen for david wright always when you LEAST want them and contrary to the fairy land belief the Yankees like every other team that has waltzed into CitiField this year indicated that homeruns are possible to be hit.

Look Jerry stinks but I will take him over Willie anyday. AND we are stuck with his stupidity. SO…

The mets have a lineup outside of Wright that just dont score. They dont have the ability, LOL. Fact is, if we can tread water till the Allstar break and get Reyes and Beltran back HEALTHY we will be much better. I do not think trading for one player is going to make a difference. Dunn in this lineup wouldnt really help them win right now(he would look nice behind beltran, delgado and wright).

Fact is..we need to accept what we see right now and hope they turn it around. It makes no sense to make a deal by trading away young talent when you do not even know this team can win with everyone healthy! They havent dont it for 2 years. hahahahaha. So screw, lets play the games and see what happens.

By the way, I went to the game last and knew they were going to lose. and if anyone is upset about yesterday, they should have their head examined. The game turned out better than I expected. I was certain they were going to give up at least 6 runs. I was drunk by the 3rd inning knowing we were going to lose. hahahaha

exactly, luckily for the Mets, they got out of it because Redding struck out Cano, but something should have been done by the security guards.

That was blatant interference, if Wright dove into the stands, that’s another story.

He reached his glove in and got smacked down, i would not be surprised if a few ribs got cracked on the wall.

He’s too nice, if he had put up any kind of protest, something may have been done, but no guarantees even if he did argue.

Ok, thanks for the clarification, when i read the rest of the responses, what you said def makes sense.

Cora and Wright are both trying to lead this team and are both doing it exhausted and banged up themselves, but everyone is making them the goats of the weekend.

(i) You’re right. I meant left or right for Sheffield’s starts.

(ii) I hear you about F-Mart, but my concern is that his at-bats are just ugly. There is no plan up there at the plate. I just feel that Reed gives the Mets more quality at-bats RIGHT NOW. In the future, F-Mart should improve, but I think he’s best served by going to AAA when Pagan comes back.

oh and i was at that game with that fan interference…it was ridiculous. Anytime i see that with any other team, the guy gets ejected…or at least talked to by security. they never once went down there. i couldnt believe it. he interfered with a play, how does that go unpunished?
