June

-Moises Alou’s rehab game in Florida was rained out. Manager Jerry Manuel said if Alou plays in two or three games then he has a good chance to be activated this weekend at Philly.

-Orlando Hernandez, on the DL with a right foot injury, is throwing off the mound in Florida.

-Angel Pagan, on the DL with a bruised left shoulder, could be facing season-ending surgery.

-Manuel said he will be looking to pull Carlos Delgado in favor of Fernando Tatis for defense.

too bad about pagan. we could use him. we have no depth.

I was thinking the same thing Dave. Marlon and Endy have been awful bench players so far this year. We need some decent production off the bench. It would be nice to get some .670 OPS or better production off the bench.

By the way the NL avg runs/9 is 4.65. I said it was 5.7 something. I was actually looking at the total number of runs scored in the NL so far this season, 5,832. I thought the comma was a decimal and the total was per game. That makes a lot more sense. The Mets have 378 scored and 379 allowed. That’s 4.6667/g scored and 4.68/g allowed. Both are slightly above league average. That shows that the pitching and hitting have been about equal for the Mets this year. Actually since Shea is a park that favors pitchers the hitting has been better than the pitching.

Is Tatis that good defensively at first base or is Delgado just that bad?
I think it’s the latter. And that sucks.

why did they bring in a guy who has an all glove no bat reputation in Andy phillips to use Tatis and call Phillips a RH outfielder

You see they brought in Phillips to scare Delgado, that’s what Ray explained to me, so they put Tatis in for defense to scare Phillips. And they put Phillips in left to scare Alou or Chavez or whatever. What it really shows is that the entire Met organization is totally screwed up.

Ray explained that to you? Geez, I thought he was talking to the Guv. Or maybe it was Mel. I’m beginning to think I like Mel better than Petraglia. But I’m not sure, since Petraglia gets to borrow your computer, which is akin to letting him borrow your underwear. He must be a real charmer.

i dont understand how that play at LA where pagan looked fine after the catch could cause season ending surgery. I swear some baseball players are made of glass

HA HA!!! Sloppy slips again. Hey, Tiffany is too sharp for ya sucka !!! Oh, Well time to make up some new names.
Tiffany July 1st, 2008 at 8:19 am
Nah, he didn’t slip up—it was Petraglia borrowing his computer and underwear again.

I like endy. He is the best OF we have. the problem is his bat.

the problem with our OF the past month or so is that they trot out guys who not only cannot hit, but cant field either.
