Even though a guy like Endy can field well, Church's injury may result in more outfield innings for Anderson and Easley, which is not what you want. Not that I love him, but any word on Pagan's return? The defense may struggle without Ryan as well.

I thought the Collapse last year was a nightmare, apparently the nightmare doesn't want to go away any time soon and neither does the poor play of the New York Mets.

Back to reality. This is probably just a .500 team. And now the only player they have had this year is probably going to miss a month (my speculation only) I guess we'll have to get used to seeing Marlon Anderson playing Right field this time.

Not that they are always wrong..they did push the organization (Doubleday) into trading for Piazza 10 years ago and they slammed the front office for trading Kazmir. But there are people out there who feel the Mets owners are just too sensitive to what the fans and media are crying about. A good organization should listen to the fans but know when we are too emotional and shortsighted. Wrong Met decision that was pushed by M&MD: Give Dallas Green an extension after the surprise 1995 second half when the kids made the last two months enjoyable. I don't know if Green specifically ruined Generation K but things went wrong. Let's see if Girardi can duplicate that cross town. The question is how much do the Wilpons like to Mike and the Mad Dog.

Of course, they'l come back and win tommorrow, just to confuse us. They're turning into the NY Rangers at this point, so hopefully they will go on a run and make the playoffs like them. That's the best I can hope for at this point. So it really was the apocolypse when Castillo hit the home run? Of course, they’l come back and win tommorrow, just to confuse us.

I just saw what happened on sny. Church looked to me that when he hit escobar knee he was out the way his head hit the ground. I bet you he suffered another concussion. It wouldn't surprise me if church misses some games. Church already had a concussion in spring training. I just saw what happened on sny.

He went into second dirty and the SS was ready for it. Concussion # 2 is not a good thing for him. If Church wanted to play football he should have had a football helmet on.

I hope our best player isn't hurt. After watching them beat the Yankees, I made the mistake of buying my family tickets to the Mets at the movies tomorrow night. Damn, should have bought a tank of gas instead - it's a much better investment. A fitting ending to another pathetic effort. I hope our best player isn’t hurt.

It's still looking a lot like the end of last season, with no reliable arm in the bullpen, aside from Wagner and Smith. The Willie deathwatch is back on.
