Lets not be pollyanna just to be positive. We're lucky if he comes back at all, let alone if he stays back for a long time. That ship has sailed. Alou ain’t gonna be healthy, though.

I know, that is a big if and the rest of the team can stay healthy I think the Mets can definitely get hot and challenge the phillies for the division. I think the Braves are done. Pelfrey is showing more and more improvement and hopefully Ollie's new delivery was the reason he pitched well the last time out (big if)and Pedro can find his groove. There is no reason why they shouldn't contend for the division. There is allot of if's though, Ollie, Pedro and the mets staying healthy. Hopefully all the negative crap that has happened to them since last September until now is behind them, I really hope so. Lets Go Mets, beat those philthy Phils.

I think this year he has been pitching much better even tho he is a 500 pitcher. I think when all is said and done for 08 that he will be a 500 pitcher give or take a loss or two. Looking forward we now have one legit pitcher with 3 unknowns. Pelf is still learning and is doing about what you would expect for a 2nd year guy. Maine has been inconsistent and has not built on last year and flipper is well he is flipper. Then we have Pedro who is having various issues and I would say is a disappointment so far. The good is that Easley is having a nice stretch and Delgado may be relevant again. It is nice to see that the manager has found a way to give everyone a day off here and there. I think we are playing better since The Firing(tm). But for right now we are still a 500 team. Dave Our GM said some time ago that BigPelf was a keeper because of a game he pitched in Sep.

I remember wondering whether Lo Duca was watching a different game than I was. Now, I'm beginning to see what he was talking about.

Tiffany - I think he can now hold the nickname Big Pelf with pride. I think (and hope) that you are now seeing a team start to gel and believe in themselves. Ray is right about the naysayers. How many times have I seen this team winning and nobody blogging or still blogging negative? Like I said before - Constructive criticism is great, name calling is simpleminded. Calling for somone's head every two minutes isn't helpful either. Explain what you are talking abou!!! Couple of comments:

That being said, I have to say, that it just strikes me, how many Metsfans go into a fit when the Mets lose, and are totally quiet when the mets are winning. Please check the last days posts. I am not a complainer. I am against the complaners. I hope you realize That. I am one of the positive people here. I hope you will look at my posts and realize that.

I have been as annoyed with this club as anyone at times, but I am not ready to bail out on them. I think we can win this thing yet! I'll always remember routing for the Islanders during the year they won their first cup. It was a similar season as to the one we are experiencing now. We knew the team had lots of talent but they were underachieving badly. Suddenly they got it together the last 2 weeks of the season and went on to win 4 cups in a row. That's why its hard to totally throw in the towel wit this bunch. I still believe we do have the talent. If we ever had a healthy club things would be different. Maybe a return to health is all we need. Having a healthy Castillo, Alou and Church would be like making a few big trades! Maybe that will do it. I have been liking what I've seen from Pelfrey since he got rid of the mouthguard. Even though he was still losing games, he turned a corner. Since then, he's been getting better and better. Having him contribute will be a major addition down the stretch. Lets go Mets! Ray- I usually enjoy reading what most have to say, but I guess its more fun to complain for some of us.

I wish some more of you would have come to the Half glass full side, but just be quiet you cowards, until the Mets lose another game, You will all jump out of your woodworks like last night, after a tough loss, when they fought hard and almost came back.
