Some Radical ideas to Liven (or wink wink, Livan) Up these Meaningless Games
1) Play a volleyball style Defense: After every out, Met players rotate positions. It will add some intrigue when Omir Santos is at short and Frenchy is behind the plate.
2) Players running on every pitch. Regardless of score or count, we just take off. It will be like when the Arena Football wideouts get a running head start at the line of scrimmage.
3) Let’s try and set a modern day record for most games without a homer. Or how about a home run Lottery? If you hit a homer, you are sent to Buffalo, or you get stoned to death by villagers.
4) Let’s set a record for most bunts in a row. It can’t be more than 4 or 5, this is very doable.
5) Our pitchers must throw one eephus pitch every at bat. Livan already does this, so let’s just have all our pitchers do it.
6) Turn games upside down: K-Rod pitches the first inning, followed by Parnell, Feliciano, Stokes, and then the starter takes over in the 4th or 5th. We may not win, but we will blow minds!!!

Strip baseball
Every time Jerry makes a questionable move, the player concerned removes one article of clothing.
Omir begins each game naked.

he’d know that the market plays right into giving mets a shot. The Jays can’t want to trade him to the Sawx or Spanks. And if the Phils balk, the Mets can slide in again with their worse prospects. Turning them down is shortsighted.

A lot of folks drop off early
And I’m not really arguing anything except that lack of protection and a bunch of exhibition games can’t turn 30 HR power into 8 HR power. I fear (not argue) that this might be a permanent drop off because Wright’s abilities (contact, power, batting eye) have plummeted across the board for more than half a season. I don’t understand how anyone could dismiss it as a slump or some bogus excuse like protection. Something fundamental is going on.

Doesn't really matter at this point
Easy to pull of some wins when you aren’t playing for anything.
Sickening to say that even though it’s still July.

6.5 games out of the WC at worst after tonight
Stranger things have happened (cough, 7 with 17 to play)

True
but I think there are too many teams ahead of us.
Milwaukee and Chicago (they are just startin to come around) are gonna be tough to pass.
Don’t see it happening.
Atlanta looks like they are now puttin somethin together to get in the race also. They are creaming San Fran in San Fran 9-3.

It's in Atlanta, and the Braves suck
Bottom line is, if we can play better than we have been (unlikely) and get some guys back sooner than later (unlikely), we are the best team out of the bunch.
It’s going to take a lot, and I have no expectations, but I can see us making this at least a little interesting.
