Julio really doesnt belong on a major league roster.

You're right. He belongs down by the schoolyard.

someone start the schaffer... 9 points to the offense today (oliver gets 1 for his rbi hit and 2 innings w/o a run)

Thanks for your concern. I'm getting by.


Boston 6 -2 .750

You've got to admit though that the Boy Genius really screwed up signing Wells to 2 years.

[nymr83]

yeah, but the mets didn't do it so it doesnt need to be criticized.

[Centerfield]

Great to see Cliffy get it going. He hit some balls hard last night too. I hear that, on top of his HR and double, he hit a scorcher that was caught today.

Mets Magic Number: 151

Just watched the replay on TV. The hitting, of course, looked great. But I was surprised how much Zambrano struggled. His ball/strike ratio was awful...and it looked like he got the benefit getting balls hit right at people a few times.

For the life of me I can't figure out why they traded Benson and kept Zambrano.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I can think of a few million reasons.

CF were you really surprised with Zambrano?,I watched the replay like you and I thought it was a typical Zam outing.

[metirish]

I read today that the Mets have only been behind in two innings all season, a small sample but that's amazin.....

Too bad you're not a Red Sox fan.

I couldn't follow the game during the day yesterday, so when I looked at the boxscore, and the IGT, I thought Victor was pretty strong before struggling in the 5th. Plus, with his strong spring, I guess I was hoping for better.

But you're right, yesterday was typical Zambrano. Unfortunately.

I'm sorry, did you lose my official Elster88 registration or something? May I re-apply for your permission to root for the Red Sox? Does this mean that, until youve made your decision, that I have to turn in my Red Sox cap? Can I still go to games at Fenway? Pretty please?

[Elster88]

I had promised not to respond to hostility any more.

But, to me, you spend an awful lot of time over here for a Red Sock fan.
