OK, I am bad on this one…. But someone wanted to trade some of the "spare" parts from this outstanding and deep pen.

that must be another scoopcoop you are talking about sloppy. I never stated that mets should trade RP or any pitching for a 1B. In fact, I have stated the opposite.

Lets see here: Scoopcoop and so many others told the world that we had so many great releivers we could trade some away for a RH 1B/RF…. I guess that ain't hapening is it scoopcoop…. Lets see, historically we Met fans hate one releiver, usually the closer, Franco, Looper, Benitez. Last year we expanded that to hate the set up men, Mota, Schoeneweis. Now with a 7 man pen we hate Heilmann, Sosa, Schoneweies, leaving us with a 4 man pen. Now if this were 69, it might work but unfortunately, pitchers today stop work when they reach @ 100 pitches not when they rewach the bottom of the 9th so the 4 man strategy is a loser. So we are exactly where we were last August except we have an imploding pen in April…. Bad news I fear.
What did this team do… Give its all for three days in Philthy and get exhausted??? Following up a good series with three out four not losses but non competitive games is not the thing that contenders are made of.
Of course after 130 games of .500 ball what kind of team has Omar presented? They could have come back in the 9th. Rauch had nothing, but as usual late and behind ewhen there's a chance to do something interesting, it doesn't matter who's up, nothing happens, unless our substitute OF is up.

john – I have a question for you, do the players/coaches read blogs ect to get a feeling of what the fans think?

Hello from DC- I find it funny that the highlight of your season is splitting a series with the mets. If you think we'll be listed next to you in the standings, you must be tripping on acid. Enjoy the next three years of cellar dwelling. If you enjoy this win so much,you'll enjoy approximately 75 games this season

The bullpen and delgado are our major problems right now. I liked matt wise in the spring, hopefully he can take some pressure away from bombs away Heilman if he ever comes back. Jose needs to step it up too. There is no way we can keep up this pace of winning 5 and losing 3. It's early but i'm not happy. And I'm much more conservative than most met fans.

The leash will be VERY short tomorrow night, Scoopcoop. Fans will be all over them right quick if they don't come through in the 1st inning w/ men on.

Delgado better take that day off that Willie has been asking him to do. The natives at Shea will be restless tomorrow.

I haven't seen anything from Milledge that makes me upset that he is gone. He still can't hit offspeed picthes, makes poor baserunning decisions and plays a so-so OF at best.

its delgado being an empty spot in the lineup. and its the pitch count. and weak armed starters. i blame major league baseball for making this 100 pitch thing. it sux and takes from the game..

Not saying it is on Willie. Just saying BB is like any other big corporation and Omar will be doing a lot of politicking if heads have to roll (which they shouldn't) so that his he is not the one rolling.

Some people just don't seem to get the concept.

I have to say if Milledge has been late coming to the clubhouse several times already, then Minaya did the right thing in shipping him out. Getting two guys in return was just gravy. How many guys have had great careers pulling stuff like that. Rickey Henderson maybe? Anyone remember an ABA player named Marvin Barnes? Tremendous talent but throw his career away not being serious about his career.

This isn't all on Willie, I'm not sure even most of it is. Some of these guys just plain stink (Sosa, Delgado), some of them are in outer space (Reyes), some are just still upset that they cancelled Mad About You. Whatever it is, they are no better than a .500 team. For $140 million, I expect better.

Howie says the game is "In the Book". Don't read it though, it's not a happy ending.

Well, there are going to be a lot of happy faces downstairs.-JD
