weekends arent so bad
its during the week that they’re an inconvenience. Luckily it looks like my boss won’t be in again today and I dont have much to get done.

Here we go boys and girls...
the offensive behemoth that is the NY Mets is about to take on the hapless Cubbies.
"Jose Reyes continues to receive physical therapy for a torn hamstring tendon behind the right knee. Should he not respond to the physical therapy, surgery is an option."
just give him the damn surgery already
i dont even understand how this isn’t a no-brainer… even for the Mets staff
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 28, 2009 1:51 PM EDT up reply actions
A lot can go wrong in surgery
and unneccesary surgery is a bad idea. I dont think the recovery time is that long, so it makes sense to wait to see if surgery is needed. What doesnt make sense is if their physical therpy is trying to get him on the field before the season ends.
this is an incredibly basic surgery
and what i dont want to see is them forego surgery, him come back next year, and immediately hurt himself and need the surgery anyway.

Agree
I’ve always liked Michael Young and I have a pretty big man-crush on Josh Hamilton*
*nothing to due with his sobreity, et al, I just like really really really good baseball players.
I could deal with any team but: Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies and Angels winning it.
here's the thing...
Beltran, Wright, Santana, Reyes…
it has gotten to the point where it is natural for us metsfans to demand an answer for a lot of things, at least some reconciliation of how the team’s medical straits could be in such a catastrophic way. But not only is our GM probably going to deflect or ignore all calls for an explanation, he is likely incapable of giving us an intelligible answer anyway.
we want to at least draft high and rebuild the supporting part of the team at least, but we don’t want our management to be in charge of the drafting or rebuilding.
we want to look toward the future return of our stars, but not a one of them seems to be guaranteed to come back at their former levels, if at all.
knowing that the current management is likely to remain, and knowing they have no answers, it’s an absurd situation. a situation difficult even for a philosopher king, such as myself, to comprehend, much less a regular schlub sportsfan.
In conclusion, I lobby baseball gods. Give us a sign.

"When you get yourself into trouble is when you feel you have to do something, and then you get yourself in trouble." --Omar Minaya
this should be the new banner on the home page
"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it on the scoreboard?"
the Cubs might be bigger disasters that we are this season
Think about it: they were the consensus team to beat in the NL this season after being easily the best team in the NL last season, and while they’ve had their fair share of injuries, it’s nothing like the devastation the Mets suffered.
One more reason why I’m happy I’m not a Cubs fan.
Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.
actually, I have been telling friends we ARE the new Cubs
so you are a cub fan.

I don't know about that.
The Mets front office shows virtually no ability to analyze players using statistics, but Evans put up some pretty lousy numbers for most of the year. He hasn’t exactly earned a bunch of playing time.

his numbers are in inconsistent plate appearances scattered throughout the season
for the most part.. hard to gauge his everyday potential from that
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 28, 2009 2:35 PM EDT up reply actions
this
and he’s performed well (esp against LHP) in the minors – so why not bring him up and play him instead of the Sullivans/Reeds/Tatises?
yeah reed occupying a roster spot all season offends my senses

I think it offends everyone's sense

He wouldn’t do that if he only played twice a week against lefties.

but once the Mets season was cooked
they could’ve played him everyday in the majors and seen what they have. And certainly, now that he IS with the MLB club he should be playing everyday.
I agree that he should be playing everyday now,
but I’d rather have seen Sully here and sucking rather than seeing Evans do the same thing. At least let the kids development not be screwed by this awful season.

He played regularly in the minors, except for the brief period where he was in extended spring training (hitting under .200)
Just look at his game logs;http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=7595&position=OF
The Mets have screwed up a bunch of decisions, Evans wasn’t one of them.

Its just that
1) Evans might be a useful piece, we don’t know and
2) Sullivan and Reed are what they are, which we do know
So Jerry/Omar’s decisions with respect to Evans are extremely frustrating and an indicator of the same organization FAIL that we saw with Omir/Castro and Francoeur/Church.
In the grand scheme of things its not that important, but I think we’re all just a little fed up at how ineptly this franchise is being managed at every level. I know I am.

Bottom line with Evans
He’s one of their better options vs. lefties, especially with no Sheff. Plus they need to see him get some more at bats this year. Moronic that he’s not playing, as I think Cubs are starting two righties the rest of the weekend, so he’s now probably riding pine until next week.
this is the perfect time to play him
at first against lefties, and Murph at othr positions. Hopefully Thole plays when he comes up

Misch is balling.

You guys will like this.....
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV
set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn’t that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending
your stimulus check wisely:
If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China .
If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
If you purchase a computer, it will go to India .
If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico ,
Honduras and Guatemala .
If you buy a car, it will go to Japan or Korea.
If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to
management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in America by:
1 spending it at yard sales, or
2 going to ball games, or
3 spending it on prostitutes, or
4 beer or
5 tattoos.
(These are the only American businesses still operating in the US .)
Conclusion:
Go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day
Don't go to a Mets game though

Stokes' magic ride ends in blaze of glory
He flew too close to the sun on wings made of gold.
Yes, it was a terrible outing, but I will defend him to the death, so consider this:
a) it was his 6th appearance in 8 days, and his 4th in the last 5, and several were more than an inning. Throwing him in games where they are getting killed is dumb.
b) It was clear he had nothing, Jerry could have taken him out after Baker walk
c) He had thrown 2 straight breaking pitches to Soriano, the third one was a terrible call from Santos/dugout, or whoever decided it. Soriano is a mistake hitter.
D) Could have walked Ramirez to pitch to Baker and set up the DP. Bad strategy, Jerry.
All that said, he hadn’t been scored upon since July, so let’s give him some credit.
If Jerry did not put Socks in...
Socks was the best option. Glad Jerry kept him in the game.

Who else is there?
Dessens? Feliciano (on pace for 89 games)? Takahasi and Broadway and Dessens are long men at the best. Green sucks. It’s Socks or BB-Rod for 2 innings.
God, before Niese going down, at least Parnell was decent. The rest just suck.

One last thing
Sullivan: 0 for 4. It’s not second guessing when we knew from the beginning that it made zero sense to play him over Evans. Someone said “big deal”, but it’s the little shit like that, dumb shit moves that keep you out of the playoffs in a close year. As someone else said earlier, we know who Sullivan is, he’s had enough major league abs. Evans has not. To deliberately screw over the younger player with promise for a journeyman when you are out of the race is beyond idiotic, it’s irresponsible as an organization.
I agree 100%
But, I mean if Jerry likes Sullivan, then maybe you don’t play 6-4-3-Tatis, and you put Murphy at third (his natural poistion), and you put Evans at first. I mean if Murph is going to be a DeRosa he has to be able to play third and second, right? What better time for him to learn these positiions.
