The run for the NL East pennant begins tonight!
… or maybe not.
"Never throw a slider to The Glider."
- Ed Charles, No. 5
just bought my ticket for the futures game tomorrow.
if only Meija was going to be playing…well, at least I’ll get to see Flores overmatched and strike out a couple times.
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
santos and francour in the lineup tonight
Omar’s follies getting their chance to shine
This Wasn't Seaver for Doug Flynn
Don’t get me wrong. Church for Frenchy looks like a bad deal for the Mets. Judging from past performance, we’ll be very lucky if Frenchy turns into a right-handed Church, and odds are against even that.
Still, the Mets won’t live or die on the performance of either guy. Looking on the bright side (I know; what bright side?), the very presence of another RH bat (even if it’s not particularly productive) might help the LH’ers when they return from the DL … if they return from the DL.
In a way, I’m whistling past the graveyard. But why not think positive thoughts … at least until our worst fears are confirmed?
I'm not sure
I can follow the game tonight, it’s just too much
My mindset is to watch a circus show tonight
There is always Omir to make fun of, now there is Franco-euro too
How many AB's
until the Boo’s start for Francoeur?

Taveras ain’t suited for anything but the bench. Just like Frenchy.

And the savior will reveal himself
and he will grit his teeth and swing at the first pitch. He will strike out on ball 4 and life will be good.

seriously though
I hope Frenchy does find his groove and excels with the Mets. For him and for us.
You never know. Maybe getting away from his hometown and old crew could remove some distractions. It’s like when people first leave town and go away to college. Sometimes they change completely.

his goofy country boy smile after a million strike outs is gonna piss me off
Santana has given up a troubling amount of XBH's to lefties
many with 2 outs. WTF?
in all fairness
with some wild combination of luck, hardwork, netal approach and maturation, he could sometimes evolve into a player similar to Church
Selling low
Omar sold low on Milledge, and then sold low on Church.
That being said, I’m rooting for Francoeur to turn things around. It would be a good story at least.

Because the White Sox were mediocre

His plate discipline is not ideal, but it hasn’t been that terrible either.

His third at bat was really bad
Last one a little better. Good to see him take a few to start that one off.
Who knows, maybe getting traded was the shock to his system to make him realize he needs to adjust.
Getting away from pendleton can’t hurt either, the Braves as a whole aren’t generally the most patient team, and Terry was always an aggressive hitter. The Mets seem to be pretty patient as a whole, so it may be the right type of environment.
