I’d make a serious run at Randy Winn. Hits for a pretty good average and gets on base. They really must have another OF bat if they are going to have a shot at this thing.

Mike,

I agree. Since the team has no clue on Church, better to be safe and give him extra rest. he wont like it but who cares.

If you DL Church now, three of those days are the All Star Break. I’m just sayin’, here. Shut him down now and hope that after the extra rest he is finally ACTUALLY healthy.

Big Blunder Billy Bailed By Big Bat Tatis.

Why couldn’t his name be Batis?

I cringe at the fact Ryan Church was not used in a 12-inning game. Wouldn’t be surprised if they shut him down through the All-star break.

Mets are gonna have to go get themselves an outfielder, that’s the bottom line. There are in a spot now where for the next 3 months, they don’t know from one day to the next if Church or Alou will be healthy. I think if they are willing to take on a little salary, somebody like Ibanez could be had for minor prospects. Worst case scenario would be that all are healthy at the same time – no big deal, because with Alou’s tenuous knees, there’s plenty of room for 3 regulars to cover the two corner positions in a pennant race. But they can’t continue to go through the year crossing their fingers on Alou and Church. Both are each going to struggle to play in half of their remaining games. I love Endy, but its hard to carry his bat in your lineup everyday without a competent offensive counterpart at the other corner.

Scott from Pelham,

good point, I agree but I’m not sold yet. if pedro goes out tomorrow and pitches a decent game and the Mets hit and win and than go on to win the next 2 series 2 out of 3 than I will start to believe. I’m not there just yet.

Back to 500 at last. Now lets see if they can turn the corner. A month ago this team would have folded after Wagner gives up the bomb.

I hope I am wrong but why is it that i have this vision of pedro giving up homeruns to Utley, Howard amd Burrel tomorrow.

I second the reward start at first for Tatis tomorrow.

That and everyone other than Tatis has to buy Smith a nice shiny gold watch for going so far and above the call of duty.

Good job by Smith, I have to admit I thought we were done, even after the Tatis HR b/c I didn’t think we could hold their bats down anymore.

Ok,
I admit it was a surprise nice win. lets not get illusion of Grandeur with this team. Wagner in a big game is shaky at best. The offense is constructed of non clutch hitters and is inconsistent. That’s the reason why this team has struggled to go over .500 hundred. The SP is the teams strong point but the bull pen is average. Let’s not get to high because this team will bring you just as fast down. The outfield without Church and Alou is mediocre. It was a pleasant surprise to see the mets in tonight for a change. Don’t get your hopes up to high
because they will crash and burn just as easy.

So far Tatis has turned into an interesting player. He is coming up big in big situations.

That said I hope they don’t sign him to a fat 3 year contract next year.

RMK, gotta add Joe Smith as well. He pitched great.

Hey Phillies, YOU GOT TATISED

It’s a shame they wasted Friday…that should have been our game too. We really should be going into tomorrow looking to sweep.

Now we just need to carry this into tomorrow and through the week. TIme for a good run.
