Just read an article in the times which reminded me that peterson forbade BigPelf from throwing his curve and switched him to a slider i think.

Now with a new coach he is throwing the curve for strikes and winning.

How about that?

Nady-Mets just didn’t have the players to trade. That shows the lack of depth in the farm sys.

Sanchez-I think his arm strength is not there. I just hope what Manueal said after the game about changing his routine to drop the long tossing will improve his stamina by not using it up b/w appearances.

I too was hoping for Nady to be back with the Mets and even thought that Marte was impressive as a reliever in the little I saw him pitch. I just think that the Mets were not willing to trade with the pieces that Pittsburgh wanted, including the pick up by the Pirates of one of our existing lefties (probabaly Show). I wish Nady well, but, if I had to be truthful, I really wish he was traded somewhere else. As was mentioned, I hope this does not leasd Omar trading to make just to make a trade. The Mets need to fill certain needs with trades, not just make the back page.

Now THAT’s how I wanna see Anderson used!

In garbage time pity at-bats only!

(Nady would’a been a nice piece but in no way worth what he would’a cost.)

I am with Mets Girl on the Nady deal. One more reason to hate the Yankees. As if you need another.-JD

BigPelf

tops in wins
second in era
second in innings

Wow. To think he was our #6 pitcher in the spring.

If I recall correctly in 2006 after Sanchez had been so good early, when the wheels came off, they came off hard for about 4 appearances, and then he got better again. Hopefully that’s what is going on here.

Howie has put this game in “The Book”. Thanks for your company this evening.

Here’s some advice for Jerry:
Have your starter finish and stop counting pitches.

Weekend Schedule: Saturday 7PM, Sunday 1PM.

I guess Sanchez is slumping.

Endy is our new #3 hitter.

BigPelf is continuing his roll

I want to see Delgado the whole year before I give an opinion on what to do about his option. He was bad for most of a year and a half and has been good for a few weeks now.

Omar won’t tip his hand and he shouldn’t. We will just have to wait.

yeah, They need bullpen help and a bat, just like the trade the yankees made.

the Nady deal makes me want to cry

its really a shame that wagner would even have to get up in this 9th inning.

Wow I was watching the gamecast as Lidge imploded in Philly, I wonder what the reaction to him being pulled off the mound after giving up 5. People must have thought Santa Claus had come back.

What is wrong with Sanchez, he isn’t even close to hitting 90, much less 94, on the gun. And why isn’t the staff reacting to that fact?

David, The 3 strikouts of Howard arent that surprising, but Pujols was.
Clm, I see them doing a deal where they take on salary to keep the return on players down. Ive been seeing some Brian Giles rumors, and that would be the kind of deal i expect to see. Omar wont stand pat again after he got burned for it last year.

I don’t think the Mets can afford to make a significant deal this year. Next year hopefully we will know what we have with the latest crop of picks from the draft and then we can think of moving one or two of the few decent pieces in our system…but to do it this year would trip us bare, which is just a bad way to go.

Hey Burgos will be back next year, right? Would be great if he came back throwing as hard as before, but much more accurately!

Whatever they do I just hope they dont make a move for the sake of making a move.

Annie Savoy — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:33:17 +0000

When Omar spoke this morning, he didn’t have an answer to your question. I hope they don’t make any moves – this team has come to life on its’ own.
