Billy Wagner is out indefinitely. Omar Minaya believes the answer will come from within, and he has confidence in those pitchers. By the way, that group has combined for 20 blown saves. It would seem obvious Philly has the closer edge with Lidge over anybody the Mets will throw out there.
Oliver Perez going for the Mets tonight. He’s given up just 14 runs over his last nine starts.
Using a starter out of the pen is all but a dead issue. John Maine was their first choice, but his fastball isn’t there and he’s got shoulder issues. Perez is pitching too well to be taken out of the rotation. They won’t screw with Johan Santana and Pedro Martinez is too delicate. That leaves Mike Pelfrey, but manager Jerry Manuel doesn’t want to mess with him, either.

Big Big Big Hit for Easley.
0-2 lol, nevermind!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
YES! YES! YES!
Its funny how things work out. I mentioned earlier that they just needed someone to get that big hit and here delagaldo delivers it and the flood gates open great job.
I love it! Cameras are showing Chipper looking dejected and Cox looking pissed.
It wouldn’t hurt to get one more.-JD
Wow. Argenis was robbed. He had a great AB.
Come on, Endy, let’s pick up two more!
OK, nice. But, they still have to get three more outs. Here comes Scott Schoeneweis. Wanna bet there will be others to follow?-JD
And now ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves.
fun’s over…gulp
and jd- what happened to your browns last night? lol i’m probably the 10th person to ask you that
Never mind. They are doing the Curly Shuffle. How can they lose now?-JD
If the bullpen holds, then the unsung hero is none other than Nick Evans.
matt b: They didn’t have a lot of fun, did they?-JD
Thank you Mr. Escobar, swinging at the first pitch, trailing by four runs.
Bah up 4 with 1 out in the 9th, bean Chipper so he can’t play in the rest of the series!
Without him they will fold the other 2 games.
i dont know quinn didnt look as bad as i thought he would although quinn is my least favorite player in the nfl- i hate notre dame with a burning passion lol
Tiffany: How about Luis Ayala for another unsung hero?
Got us out of a jam in his Mets debut.
if show can get the best of Larry he will be endeared to me…to some extent
OK, TWO STRIKES, TWO OUTS, EVERYBODY UP!
Gil:
I will 2nd that on Ayala will go unnoticed but that was very big spot.
Cue the Bachman Turner Overdrive classic rock jam weall know and love…
Howie has put this exciting chapter in “The Book”.
Another Annie once sang about Tomorrow that “it’s only a day away”.
Let’s hope the Mets can keep their momentum until then.
Dare I say 2.2 Scoreless for the bullpen and a 5 run 8th Woah.
Onward and upward. Catch you guys and gals later!
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Annie Savoy’s trademark sign off at the end of every Mets win. Put it in the books baby!!!!
How about that Niese kid in AAA?
Could he close?
Also, will Delgado EVER get an off-day?
Boomer and Carton are killing Wagner right now. I just turned it on ten minutes ago, but apparently Billy made comments pertaining to his salary, past hall of famers and the negativity of the NY media? I’ve looked everywhere online, but can’t find his comments. What was said?
Is there anyone alive out there?
Mets sign Al reyes
Ah beat me to the punch Franco, I love the signing! Just dropped Wags in my fantasy league and picked up Reyes, Wagner’s not coming back the best possible move that could have been made was made. Congrats Omar. Speak up haters.
So I guess the odds were pretty good then that they would sign Al Reyes. Just like I asked Delcos on three different occasions yesterday which he never responded.
Maybe he decided to “set you straight” by not responding. How many beat reporters respond on a regular basis to their readers? Be grateful he does what he does, he’s not your personal assistant.
On that note… JD! Where’s the lineup!! lol…
Bob: In case you may or may not have noticed, Delcos responds to his readers on this blog when asked direct questions. And what are you anyway? His protector?
