Prior to last night’s game, J.J. Putz told SNY he hopes to be able to begin playing catch just after the All-Star break, which puts him roughly seven to 10 days ahead of schedule.

Putz desrcibed being on the disabled list, unable to help the team as ‘miserable,’ and ‘frustrating.’

Good news…maybe he can come back soon enough to increase his status to a type-A FA this offseason. I’d take the draft pick, especially with the supposed (and I do mean “supposed”) talent in next year’s draft.

Think of this, Putz in the 7th, WAGS in the 8th and K-Rod in the 9th ? Who could ask for more, of course, that assumes we havd scored more runs than the other team :}

there’s the rub. The Mets get Putz and Wags back, but end up losing a lot of low scoring ballgames down the stretch.

Yep. We need Reyes, Delgado, and Beltran back before we can seriously contend for anything. If we had those three, I wouldn’t mind because I have faith in Parnell & Feliciano to hold down the 8th.

wow. that could be potent. 107 + 385 + 230 = 722 career saves.

Anyone notice that all four of Mets last four wins were one run games?

They weren’t that way when freddy got into the game. They just ended that way.

But most of their losses they socred no more then 1 or 2 runs in.

“miserable” and “frustrating” like watching this team right now
