The way things are playing out, one would figure the wild card will come from the NL Central. I’m thinking the Cardinals will see October. They are such a fundamentally sound team, not prone to make the careless mistakes we’ve seen from the Mets.
They are the middle step between the Yankees and Phillies, two teams always on the Mets’ radar. However, they are not a team to be overlooked.

So much for big changes coming. Same team, same lineup, same results except we now have a manager the media likes.
If they dont do anything else, they have to move Delgado. His total lack of range and hustle cannot be made up by his occasional bursts of power. Maybe an AL team would give us a mid range prospect if wilpon pays half his contract.
Luis Castillo’s contract: “Astonishingly ill-chosen!”
Ray,
It would be have to be one desperate team to take Delgado, definitely an AL squad, and the Mets would probably have to eat all but the entire contract.

Now is the time. While his Yankee stadium performance is fresh in peoples minds.
Heres one. The Angels DH is Garrett Anderson. He has a 289 obp with 6 Hrs 35 rbis in close to 300 ABs. They may want to upgrade there with an eye to the playoffs.
Ugh, now we have to settle for a split.
Castillo was good last year. Made contact was a good #2 for us and played the field.
this year he is not hitting and his fielding sucks. but then again jose in the field is not jose either.
maybe they need to get a real infield coach who can teach all 4 players how to do the fundamental things and not make stupid plays.
I wonder if we can eat castillo’s contract and trade him to someone for an A ball player.
Tiffany: They play as a team. They are fundamentally sound, especially defensively. Albert Pujols is one of the best hitters in the league. Plus a career year out of their Ryan Church, Ryan Ludwick hasn’t hurt them. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention..Dave Duncan Dave Duncan Dave Duncan…
