Nice
an automatic double play batting 2nd. Cora better have his double-hitting shoes on tonight, he might had the pleasure of being moved to third on a weak grounder.

nope
Tatis only hits his grounders to SS and 3B

Unless there's a man on 1st.
In which case he strategically hits them to 2nd.

at least Santana is pitching tonight. And there is always hope when Santana pitches.

Maybe Wright gets some pitches to hit tonight
Looks like they put SOMETHING, if not much, behind him.
This looks like a night where we leave 12 men stranded though.
Yeah, it looks like there is a chance they will score some runs tonight.
How did they score 6 last night?

An extra out
A double from that dude who sells Toyota’s, and some shoddy mop up 9th inning relief pitching from the Brewers.

Split start for Ollie.
I just read that and thought they were serious with that

Johan
If we can get 9 shut out innings out of Johan, and a lot of luck, we could steal this one from the Brewers.
Isn't it sad that there are no sure things on this roster?
I was hoping to wake up the morning and read that Manuel was fired and Minaya out the door with him.
I never thought in my wildest dreams that even Johann would struggle here this badly.
Johan
I think Johan is pretty much the only player the Mets have who has earned his paycheck. You could count Sheff too I guess.
Everyone else either underperforms, is wildly inconsistent, and/or chokes when it counts.
Honestly, I think "choke" is a little overused
Last season with Wagner down and Ayyala closing I knew we were in trouble.
Our lineup really does have holes. Once you got past Reyes, Wright, Beltran and got to about the fifth spot all you had to do whas walk the guy and pitch to the rest.
Down the stretch last year that lost about six or seven games due to the line up holes alone.
With Wagner out
The team performed as it should have down the stretch.
The Pen blew games and lots of them.
That’s not choking. That’s performing to expectations. There’s a difference.
Is there any way the Mets can get Prince Fielder?

I was thinking about it.
But I felt it hit too close to being somewhat more awkward.

This is my favorite Mets game of the year already!
Why, you ask? It’s Wayne Hagin’s day off. Rose and Coleman on the play-by-play. Halle-fucking-lujah.
Yes Wayne Hagin is pretty awful
Just fire him and have Howie do the game by himself

That's all on Jerry
Way to kill a potential rally, buddy!
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
Whoa. What was that?
It was like a ground rule double, except it didn’t bounce over the fence. How do they score that?
M'waukee announcers: Wright hasn't been hitting HRs
followed by the high and deep etc. They’re on a roll.
Hahaha...I'm stuck with Extra Innings too.
I hope they say that Santana has no complete game shutouts this year.
Announcers
The Brewers announcers aren’t that bad actually. Their “casey at the bat” intro was extremely lame though.
Is Uecker still around or does he just do radio?
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
I don't mind them
after years, I’m getting kind of burned out on some of the things that get repeated.
Florida & AZ
The Marlins and DBacks have the worst announcers in the NL by far. Honorable mention to Colorado.
David's first HR in 3 weeks, chance to get some momentum...
But our genius manager is going to bench him no matter what tomorrow… why? Because he said so and he’s a stubborn SOB.

You can't bunt and run
You can’t hit Argenis Reyes 1st
You can’t hit Fernando Tatis 2nd
Oh yeah, he’s sitting

Yes
Definitely I should be banned because I think Johan is the best player by far on the team.
Do you include
Dubs Wright
King Reyes
Carlos Voltron
Frankie the Closer
with Johan? You should.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
"five of these things are not like the others"
Just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
Frankie...
Yeah, forgot him, he’s been as advertised.
Beltran too, actually. Reyes and Wright haven’t played to their “potential”…Sorry.
Is Wright's potential to hit.410?
Otherwise, I thinks he’s firmly there.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
We all know there is only one perfect player.

No, no, you misunderstand.
Inherently, Eckstein is not perfect. However, he is able to overcome each and every one of his many flaws to play perfectly. He is fully human, fully God. Basically, David Eckstein is Jesus, while Santos is God.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
By potential, do you mean be one of the top 10 position players in baseball?
Oh wait, he’s already there.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
Ok
Wright is the greatest baseball player ever in the history of the game. Happy?
That statement
is more accurate than “he hasn’t played to his potential”

I'm a step ahead of you.
I actually snuck in and changed Harmon Killebrew’s plaque with one I made for Wright in my basement.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
wait, I'm confused
I think this is Scotty-sarcasm meant to suggest that you think David Wright isn’t going to be a Hall of Famer?
He's already in...
according to you. So be happy.
you are not making any sense at all.
What is your point here? Or are you just fucking around, trying to be an edgy contrarian by attributing insane opinions to everyone else and then insanely disagreeing with them?
My point
Was tha Johan is the only player on this team that has a ball sack, and who has been as good as, or better than adverstised.
Wright was supposed to be the second coming of god, and so far, not so good.
If you love Wright and think he’s a shoo-in HOF’er, then cool. That’s your opinion.
Saying that it’s disappointing that Wright has 5 HRs is not “insane”.
You're barking up the wrong tree for a guy who is hitting .340
and is our only semblance of an offensive threat.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
You said Wright hasn't "played to his potential."
Unless you mean that his potential is to become the best ballplayer of the last twenty-five years, he’s already there. Being “disappointed” in Wright is, yes, completely nuts.
But you're soooooooooo wrong.
Wright should have 11. He’s been robbed 6 already by Citi Field alone.
All people on this team have ball sacks. Even Jeremy Reed (debatable).
And no one expected Wright to be the second coming of God. He’s consistently been one of the best players in baseball over the last 3 years, and is on pace to do it again.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
Uh, nope.
He has “2” HR away from Citi Field. So I’m not ready to bring the fences in to accomodate him yet.
No, like literally
Wright hit 6 fly balls that would have been out at Shea. His power’s down, but his average is up, and the power isn’t down that much. He’s fine. Relax.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
No one said that, haha.
Jeez, it’s like you want him to be bad.
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
Yeah, actually...
anon was indignant that I implied that Wright (on pace for 10 HR) is NOT a shoo-in HOFer. The gall of me, I know.
So if you don't hit HRs, you're a worthless baseball player?
"I dunno. I never smoked any Astroturf"
-Tug McGraw
No, but,
Wright is supposed to be a power hitter. Especially now that the Mets have no one else capable of hitting a HR besides him.
That's exactly why we don't need him to hit for power
If all he did was hit HRs and not get on base then we would be losing games 6-1

in case you haven't checked recently:
Wright is currently leading the NL in AVG, 3rd in OBP and raw hits, tied for 5th in doubles. How disappointing!
someone call the Hall
and have them kick out Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, and half of the rest of the best players who ever lived.
Look
You’re Wright’s biggest fan, that’s cool. More power to you. Hopefully he’ll lead the Mets to many WS.

Sorry, you're frustrating me.
Because you just don’t know what you’re saying, apparently. Saying he’s a great player doesn’t mean you’re his biggest fan or whatever. Thousands of rational baseball fans in every part of the world would agree.

WTF?
I said I hope Wright leads the Mets to many WS. I’m serious.
Do you just want to argue?
No.
But if you want to avoid people thinking badly of you, don’t spout ridiculous self serving stuff and then say, “Hey, whatever. You’re his biggest fan, blah blah blah” It just sounds really fake and sarcastic. Don’t do that.

This might be giving Jerry too much credit
but maybe Santos is playing tonight to get Schneider’s bat in tomorrow in a day after night game, with the lineup missing Wright.
Don't kid around here...
I think most of us would take him
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
I think we have the right guys at the wrong positions
Jerry would make a good media guy (PR) and Omar, a good scout. We just need manager and GM.
I think it is Jerry's fascination with sitting guys
against tough pitchers. So Wright and Sheff ride the pine tomorrow.

Derosa would've
had that first inning grounder that Evans missed, easy.
I kid.
the reliever the Cards sent over for him
got a lowlight reel of an inning last night. I hope the PTBNL is good.
Another solid outing by Niese
isn’t it cool that these defense-independent pitching statistics can actually withstand scrutiny and like, somewhat reliably predict future performance? I know the jury’s out on science and all, but it kind of holds up in the long run. (see Omir Santos, the Sun rising in the east)

How many times has Mex mentioned losing Tatis
As a big blow to the Mets. 40? 60?
Awesome play by Hardy. Could we trade for him and have him play 2nd?
There is a SS in AAA who is blocked by him
He’s almost certainly going within the not too distant future.
I always find it intriguing the way some groups really like one player or another and there is a core of fairly intense dislike for Hardy that baffles me.
Don't look at me!

Church must be those cold guys who never say "good morning"
Even if he hit 5-5, he would be benched the next day.
I JUST FIGURED IT OUT
Lastings Millegde is gangsta. So Jerry hates Church and Schneider because they came over in his least favorite trade of all time.
of course
but then does that mean that Tatis is more gansgta then Castillo?

Its on F! (somewhat excusable all in all), and its on Santos. Hardy was toast at the plate, it was a good throw, and Santos completely missed it.

Thing is, not exactly sure what he should do that wouldn't fuck us over in the long run.

First I'd fire Manuel;
And hire a take no shit manager to clean the boogers out the of locker room. Mainly Castillo as I hate his attitude.
Then I might make a deal for an outfielder so I can send Fmart down. This is not a good experience for him right now. He’s been rished and it’s not working.
And what do you propose he do?

Can't do much without many useful athletes
I can see killing Omar for his offseason, but he’s playing about the only way to play it right now. First do no harm.
Just about all Omar’d be doing right now is adding payroll or giving away low cost talent. A Nyjer Morgan for Lastings Milledge move could help at the margins but doesn’t fundamentally change things.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Sometimes all you can say is that these guys aren't that good...
if they could make better plays they’d be better players. Obviously, Santana is all-world but when you have such little margin for error you start making mistakes that compound an overall lack of talent.

Santana now has a slight mental block with pitchers? Hard to explain otherwise. Maybe because of Felix Hernandez grand slam. :)

he has-I hate how everyone always acts like he is stuck with a bunch of bums
he has been part of the problem, not the solution, since mid-May
from what?
all those complete game shutout’s he’s thrown since he’s been here?
no
but I think he threw a lot of high pressure innings in tight games early, he knows he has little margin of error, his fastball was obviously down, he did throw a lot of high leverage innings late last year, he was injued in spring training, had knee surgery…yada yada. It adds up.
I agree he hasn’t been great. Today it is partly his fault, partly the fielding (well, he made a bad fielding play himself). But I do think he isn’t himself. Just look at him in April and early May to now. And he obviously lost velocity.
Not the current guys on the roster, no
we just have to stay within shouting distance. but there’s little question, this team right now might not be all that competitive in the international league, much less the national league.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
I think it's over
I think Wilpon is gonna fire Minaya if this keeps up.
Minaya assembled this mess. He doesn’t seem to have any answers for it.
The conditioning on this team was bad to start the season lookin at some of the injuries.
I feel the frustration too
and I’m no Omar apologist by any stretch of the imagination, but you couldn’t take this much offense off any MLB team and expect them to remain competitive. We could probably anticipate a less than healthy season from Delgado, but Reyes and Beltran—two of the 15 best players in the game—have been absolute iron men, aches and pains aside.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Ok...let's see
Let’s take a team that survived bullpen woes all of last season to barely miss the playoffs.
Said team adds plenty of bullpen help in the off season poised to make a run = playoff caliber.
This said now playoff caliber team loses 3 of its top 4 hitters and two middle of the rotation starters.
Those players lost are replaced by agin has beens, too raw rookies and no better than No. 5 starters and what do you have? A NON PLAYOFF CALIBER TEAM!
Put any and every team in the Mets shoes, even the Red Sox and Yankees and they end up in the EXACT same spot.

I know it sounds stupid, but they need a good damn tongue lashing. Jerry for all jis gangster talk is mister feelgood. Willie was a worrier. They may need a yeller.
Like in Bull Durham. “Yer a buncha damn lollygaggers.”
Aah, that won’t work. I don’t know. This is about as low as I have ever seen them. They have had worse teams, but I don’t know of i have seen this level of screw ups ever.

Funniest thing today (humor to get away from such a dismal experience)
I had some Giants fan tell me that Sandoval is a better third basemen than Wright.
I pointed out stats that shows Wright is one of the best all around players in the game.
He had nothing else left to argue and claimed that Wright is roiding cause is HRs are down this year. Claims that the only reason he ahead of Sandoval is becuase of some east coast bias.
This wasn’t just one Giants fan but four of them. Really funny stuff.

Tigers brought up Figaro from AA, he handled them – something like 2 runs in 6 innings. He pitched against the Astros got incinerated and was sent back down, probably never to be seen again.

I'd feel that way except that look at the other teams in the NL
after the Dodgers there are teams that are completely healthy playing barely better ball in the last 20 games than the Mets. As crappy as we are, if we can just avoid the 6-10 game losing streak, nobody other than LA scares me in the NL.
And nobody other than Chicago has been even remotely as injured. We’ll get some of our guys back and other teams will get some of their guys hurt. But this is the season through the All-Star break. We can’t completely toss it in.

He made it clear in no uncertain terms that he thinks Milwaukee is a cowtown
it’s a fun cowtown though.

if singla gals
like Laverne and Shirley are up for some action.
Sadly, Grease is on VH1 right now
As much as I hate that movie is tempting compared to this mess.
Now that I'm watching this stupid movie
It is kinda funny that the one guy in this movie wound up on some reality show on VH1 crapping his pants.

Nice that the booth
is recounting the “greatest hits.” Ahhh good times.
hopefully the Mets can get a run
so they can play Hells Bells, the whole stupid stadium can go crazy and cheer wildly for Hoffman
If they followed with three more homers, would that homer have been meaningless?
Enough with this sports radio talk.

3 way tie
for last. And throw in the 15-0 game.
which will be greater in number by season's end?
david wright homers or “worst game evers”
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
Those games were well played up until those blunders
This one from start to finish was a mess.

No way they win tomorrow
and Redding in Pitt doesn’t look good either.
This team is going down the tubes. Fast
Under .500
Yupp.
Lopez wants it away, and it's hit deep to left center, Andruw Jones on the run, this one has a chance... home run!!, Mike Piazza!, and the Mets lead 3 to 2!!
