Yeah. Same.
For some reason, the first thing I thought when I heard both Maine and Beltran had flu-like symptoms was, “Oh, shit. The WBC screws us over even more…”
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
At least according to Cerrone
Maine and Beltran don’t have the same symptoms, apparently they don’t even have fevers, although I actually rather enjoyed his italicized quip about the Mets training staff being unable to read a thermometer. Probably the most entertaining thing he’s written in a while.

He was entertaining today.
He played pitching coach, manager, GM and doctor all in one day.

Ramon Martinez is playing...
Let’s take inventory for a moment:
-Beltran has swine flu
-Pagan has a strained groin
-Daniel Murphy: thou art banished from left field
-Church has a hamstring strain.
Why does this team need four middle infielders at the moment? Why is R-Mart still on this roster?

Oh and Sheff is gimpy!!!
Btw, he’s playing RF AGAIN!

The Mets won a buncha games with Ramon
Therefore Ramon = winning player. I call this the Derek Jeter fallacy.

Jerry punishes players who get too many RBI`s
After Murphy 5 RBI and Valdez 3 RBI, they are benched.
On the bright side, we've got Johan
Duke is no slouch though. Looking forward to a pitcher’s duel, hopefully a 3-1 Mets win in 2:25 or so.

Did Oil Spill slip and fall or something
Were his 3 RBI’s last night too much for Jerry?
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.

If the Pirates believe that Nyjer Morgan is the best defensive outfielder in the game (and Neal Huntington apparently does believe this), why is he playing left?

I was thinking of doing a different batting stance every game.

that's why I'm not doing it.
because I can barely hit as it is…

No it isn't.
Sheffield’s misplays in right last night cost the team at least one run and perhaps the game. He misplayed the Adam LaRoche 8th inning hit into a double…Hinske would ground out the very next AB.
He should play in LEFT.

we've got a lefty on the mound
In theory, Pittsburgh should have a righty-heavy lineup, so most hits should go to left.

Can someone explain to me
How Ramon M. and Valdez are even still in the same ballpark when it comes to who will be sticking around?
Jerry is playing Martinez to give him a shot to see whom to keep, him or Valdez
I’m sorry, but how terrible do you have to be at evaluating baseball players to realize that Valdez is more useful to this team than Ramon Martinez.
Oh, I forgot, this is the team that keeps Schneider and Santos over Castro.
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
I'm sorry, but I'm going to say this again for the 8 millionth time
Why do they have to keep EITHER of them? They broke camp with 3 middle infielders!
by All Shook Down on Jun 2, 2009 7:26 PM EDT up reply actions
Castillo, Reyes, Cora
should be the 3 middle IF. But if a stopgap is needed while either Reyes or Cora is still on the DL, it should be Valdez.

Exactly
But Gary’s paraphrase of Manuel included “When Reyes comes back”.

Jerry may like to have Cora and another MI just in case he wants to give up another game and sit all of our good players at once

Funny story
I was at the 2nd to last game of 2007, when Maine nearly threw the no-hitter.
In the bottom of the 8th, with Maine pitching, the little kid in front of my asks his dad, “Daddy, do you think we’ll get to see a no-hitter tonight?”
The woman on the other side of the aisle turns around, gives the kid a death stare.
Like two outs later, Maine lets up that slow dribbler for a hit.
The lady turns at the kid and yells, “Well, I guess we know who to blame!”
It was awkward.

good lord
that was the worst slide I’ve ever seen.
I’ll take 1-0, though.

Wow, R-Mart is slowwwwwwwwwwwwww
So he can’t really hit, he can’t field, and he can’t run. What can he do? Make friends with Omar?
He must be a Zappa fan
and he likes the song “Run Home Slow.”

well, he's written his name on his shoes, apparently
So Cerrone and company have something else with which to beat him over the head and demand he be traded for Aaron Rowand.

Fangraphs had a nice article on Jim Edmunds today.
Link I think he’s got a good point. Lots of writers won’t vote for him. But he SHOULD get in. Look at this 6 year stretch from 2000 through 2005 in WAR: 6.6, 6.3, 7.2, 7.5, 8.4, 6.9. Unfreaking believable.
This brings up an interesting question. Do you think Beltran will get this treatment when he retires? At this rate, I think Reyes may get treated this way too, thanks to Hanley.
