I would however trade Reyes for all those boston players. I’m frustrated to, but I am still not willing to trade David Wright. I would however trade Reyes for all those boston players.

He's in way over his head. The guy has never played at AAA before, and here he is, making adjustments that should be made at lower levels against major league pitching, and at the same time learning a brand new position on the job (for a second time in a year). Again, at the major league level. I think he has a bright future, in a few years he could be top 5 batting leader, and may even learn to play 1b adequately too. Whether you agree with this or just think he is not good and never will be, either way he should be in AAA. Murphy should be in AAA. He’s in way over his head.

We were essentially the Nationals for 4-5 yrs. So there was no expectations in the late 70s, except the hope that the owners would finally take the chairman out of power, which they did -- and when they brought in Cashman, it was a rebuilding team. This is more like 1990-1993 than it is the 1970s, unfortunately. Tho we competed in the early 90s more than it seems, things went downhill fast in 1992-93.

I, too, have seen far worse teams and rooted for them. As you say, this is not the Mets, but they are playing hard. Without our 1,3, and 4 hitters and our 2 and 4 starters and our 8th inning guy (plus our old closer) we should not be expected to compete against the defending champs and the team with the best record in the NL. Keep faith and hope Reyes, Beltran, Delgado, Maine, Perez, Putz, Wagner, et al come back healthy and energized to play aggressive, hard, good baseball... I agree wholeheartedly, my man.
