So...
1. Evans hasn’t started since last Friday
2. A lefty is pitching for the Nats
3. Evans is not playing. Tatis is.
No other way to say this: go fuck yourself Jerry Manuel. Atleast Valdez is playing, I suppose.

why isn't Reed out there in left
I’d like to see some more of him
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
Reed's made the least starts out of that group though
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
I said "starts"
Reed, as you have shown, has PH in almost all of our games
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
Evens so
I believe Evans probably has the least starts as he hasn’t been with the club all that long.

LOL.
If nothing else, they’ve got a slew of pitchers battling for that 5th start come ST.
Of course, that’s considering I’m counting on them going out and getting a #2 type SP.
by MetsFan4Decades on Sep 19, 2009 2:13 PM EDT up reply actions
If they don't sign the #2 type SP
We’ll have a bunch of #5 type pitchers competing for the #3, #4 and #5 spots.
At least Redding is trying!
Unlike Oliver motherf’kin Perez! Greedy sonuvabitch!
Legend has it, that when the full moon strikes the pitchers' mound at a Mets game, Mr. Met turns into Evil Mr. Met...
Well,
you have to give Redding credit for this game so far. Damn Willie Harris.

I am sick of these motherfucking infield hits in this motherfucking game

Now get Redding some runs. He deserves to win this game.

Not a bad start from big game Redding

They owed Redding that. He deserves this win so far.

For those of you who are clamoring for a coup of Omar...
… I got some good news, from the NY Daily News. And who better to provide coverage than Adam Rubin himself?

But for some of you, some bad news
The article said “Manager Jerry Manuel is signed through next season.”
Can the Mets not exercise that option? The signing decreases that possibility
BTW, wouldn’t it be funny if team can not only trade players, but coaches and personnel, as well?
Legend has it, that when the full moon strikes the pitchers' mound at a Mets game, Mr. Met turns into Evil Mr. Met...
Realistically, Jerry is signed thry June.
He can be fired, and an interim named.
I lobby for Hojo, so he can suck too, and be let go at the end.
We have to clean house somehow.
Let's at least fire that whole medical staff!
We don’t need incompetent interns and witch doctors… we need honest, trustworthy, upstanding doctors who know what the hell they are doing?
Legend has it, that when the full moon strikes the pitchers' mound at a Mets game, Mr. Met turns into Evil Mr. Met...
There's a reason why these guys are worse than us

ITS GREEN TIME
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
So, it's a good day of you're a Mets fan, and therefore....
Jerry brings in Bile Green to ruin it for everybody.
Mike Morse born in Jamaica?
And, I thought Justin Masterson was the first Jamaican-born MLB player too (I guess not)
Legend has it, that when the full moon strikes the pitchers' mound at a Mets game, Mr. Met turns into Evil Mr. Met...
No, he was born in Ft. Lauderdale
What is Gary Cohen talking about?

Must David Wright hug / tap in the ass / french kiss
every player from the opposing team that reaches third ?.
Thole is one of the few bright spots on that staff
Surely, he has much more to offer than Brian Schneider

F'king Green!
Could anybody not see this coming?!

Remember the preaseason ?
" We have the most awesome bullpen ever ".
“Sean Green is a DP machine”.

If this were wall street, they would all be in court now (or jail), for misleading the public.
Someone should tell Green to NOT PITCH the ball to first!
Terrible pitcher

Terrible thrower
Mets math.

Well,
was too lazy to look up stats to see if he’s ever blown the lead this year. I can tell you I don’t really remember him every doing that but doesn’t mean he didn’t…..

Thanks!
Gotta love Pedro. I say give him that 2 year deal he’s looking for.
by MetsFan4Decades on Sep 19, 2009 3:23 PM EDT up reply actions
Pedro seems like a real simple guy.
Last year I stood by the players entrance and saw them all drive in….
Delgado = Maseratti
Schoeneweiss = Mercedes
Wright = Land Rover
Reyes = Bad ass, pimped up Mercedes
and so on…
then Pedro shows up driving a Jeep Cherokee.
AWESOME.
Gotta like the odds
Not expecting any meltdowns at Citi field today!

Aaron Heilman says....
“You never know how the season’s going to work out,” Aaron Heilman says. “Teams can look great on paper, and you get a few injuries here and there, guys don’t have as good a year as they typically have, and all of a sudden, you’re going, ‘What went wrong?’”

I have to give credit to Heilman
His comment actually makes the Mets look like a better team than that of which is reflected buy that awful record.

Wonder how many times in his personal career Aaron took the mound and when it was all over, was wondering to himself ‘What the hell just happened’????

Come on, Francoeur
Now here’s someone who has got heart and passion for the game, I think

I love his enthusiasm since coming over
Especially since it’s on this team that’s going nowhwere. 25 – that’s youth for ya.

You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.
That was great last night.
But I’m thinking to myself ‘great, he’ll probably break a hand doing that.

You know
We’re in 6th (from last place) just behind (ahead) the Indians. We’ve lost like what, 9 out of our last ten?
I mean, it would not only be better for us to lose, but also more spectacular. If we crap our way to 2nd to last place (remotely possible) it would be the most impressive thing we’ve done in 3 years.
Nothing can get by him; especially in a small room: Mike Francessa
hey we've started the last 17
like ’07. Lost 3 in a row
