Annie,

if you were a real fan you would know being a Met Fan in Metville, as you call it, is always strange. Look when doubleday owned in the 80’s no one was allowed to throw a used ball to the fans. what an insult!
and under Steve Phillips the ridiculous crappy trades he made. One thing i cant fault Minaya, he has made much better trades than phillips ever did.

After we won the series in 86, they couldnt wait to sell the players off!

If he really wants to catch lightning, there’s always Geremi Gonzalez…

John –

Why has Jerry Manuel been named an ‘interim’ manager? Seems to me that the Wilpons are scared to death of giving anyone a real job.

I always thought that Fred was a responsible owner, but in recent years I’ve discovered that the Steinbrenners are much more hands on and willing to take a risk for success.

Now we hear that Reyes was ‘hands off’ to Willie as a manager – is he still or can Jerry do the job that needs to be done?

Metsville is a very strange place these days…..........

Mike C: Chill…the guy had a rough 1st inning and settled down. He kept the Mets in the game and didn’t let the game get out of hand. Given that he gave up a 2 run homer in the first, calming down and giving up only 2 more runs thru the next 5 innings is quality IMO.

Good outing?

He stuck a six ERA up there. The only reason he won is that the offense went nuts. Have things gotten SO bad that we’re praising four runs in six innings?

“Well, he was only bad and not transcendently awful and so that’s basically good”?

I mean, I realize there was no one else to call up for the start but… lets not go crazy here. He’s another one of Minaya’s ex-Expo warm bodies to fill a profoundly depleted AAA, no more, possibly even less.

Also though I know he doesn’t get credit for the usually laughed at “quality start,” I think the way Armas settled down after early jitters and managed to give up only 1 run the last 4 innings he pitched, I think it was a quality start yesterday.

I don’t know, but for some reason I felt really good about the win yesterday. Alot is riding on tonight. If Pedro’s problem was that he was only tipping his pitches, and he has it fixed, if he pitches well it will be a huge lift to the team.

Amazing, Delgado is put down the order and he produces. Maybe he should be kept there, I think the lack of stress makes him produce more.

Armas had a good outing but like Vargas, could be flash in the pan. Lets keep the fingers crossed.

Reyes got robbed several times. And I rather watch Easley play second than Castillo.

He took another crappy former Expo in hopes that he’d catch lightning in a bottle… Minaya does that a lot.

Good call on Armas.

Armas looks like a step up from Figeroua and Vargas.
Nice to see a pitcher not walk the ballpark.
Lets hope he can stay healthy.

Hey give Omar a little credit he found someone better than
Lima or Lawrence

Bad news: Armas is exactly what he looked like… a guy who not even really crappy teams would take for their major league rosters. Utter org-filler bad-but-not-spectacularly-bad dross.

Good news: the bats made up for it for one night.

Thank You, Scott,

These fools will now wait until the all star break to cry again. Unless the mets lose tomorow. Hey Tony Armas did a pretty good job tonight, didnt he?

This site is getting just like talk radio. People only show up to whine on the bad nights.

Just to let everyone know Jerry in his post game said
Sanchez is ok.

Yeah, the last few posts by me. You all should be ashamed to call youreselves to be called Mets fans. big win tonight, and you want to stay home and sharpen your fangs for the next mets loss. Only tiffany, who has a female blogger name came on to give the negative. She was bad too, but the rest of you were worse. Only JD, He of the negative attitue came out with a positive attitude, as i challenged you all for a post that didnt suck. I said his sucked, but at least he came out with an opinion you weakKenead sistas would dare. This is not to be his bitch, I called him out before you turds.

Nice win by the Mets tonight. Is it going to be quiet here now that the crybabies seem to have taken the night off?

Wayne Garret had his career that that year. other than that, he was a total bum. Led the the with six stolen bases that year.

Its about time to tell you that your sarcasim begins to wear after awhile. maybe its time to say somthing of your own opinion now, sweet tiffany.

I believe Wayne Garrett had a good September also.
