Castro! I remember him!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

To make room for Castro on the 40 man roster, Kelly Stinnett has been designated for assignment.

[Guest KC]

Designated for retirement

[metirish]

I don't know if a start by a pitcher has ever been disected as much as Pedro's start tonight,he has better life on his fastball tonight, come on Pedro.

[metirish]

Castro with a double,great to have him back.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I honestly don't think we're going to win again this year.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

This team isn't really going to the postseason, is it? They're playing like shit!

[metirish]

We're fucked...Pedro is getting hit very hard.....

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Yes. He is

[metirish]

Holy shit...back to back home runs....we're fucked.

[metirish]

We gotta start El Duque in game one.

[Gwreck]

How many games did we win without Pedro pitching this year? Tons. I'm not worried. El Duque, Glavine, Trachsel and Maine. They'll do just fine.

[metirish]

Hudson with a triple.....7 - 0....this is it for Pedro tonight....Mets fans the world over wonder when we will next see him.

[Guest KC]

Well, that wasn't fun.

[Guest Rotblatt]

My heart just broke a little.

Ronnie's making me feel a bit better, though. He's right--there is no crisis. Pedro looks healthy, he just needs work, which means we start him in Game 3 instead of Game 1 so he gets a couple side sessions.

El Duque & Glavine are good enough to get us through the first round, regardless of opponent.

Provided, of course, we start to hit. I'm not holding my breath.

Honestly, I don't think we'll need the "A" or "B" Pedro until the WS, if we're lucky enough to make it that far.

[stevejrogers]

Its like the Mets and Braves reversed current positions in the NL East!

[metirish]

Where does Pedro get this work?,side sessions and the like,I am not convinced.

[Guest KC]

I liked Ronnie's take also Rottie, it makes sense. I like Kool-Aid too.

I fucking love Kool-Aid.

]Where does Pedro get this work?,side sessions and the like,I am not convinced.

shhhhh! Have some Kool-Aid, Irish.

Rotoworld speculates his calf injury is preventing him from keeping the ball down. Will side sessions help that or make it worse?

[metirish]

I prefer Keith's take that his gut feeling is that Pedro is hurting and can't push off with his leg,Ron agreed with him which makes me wonder why he said he was healthy.

[Guest KC]

I blame Castro for calling a bad game.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I think Pedro needs more than side sessions.

Maybe he'll be ready for Game 3. But they can win without him.

And they may have to.

[Guest old original jb]

Came by to say "blech". Also to point out that the Mets continue to play like "poopie"! Also, to say that besides needing Pedro to get healthy so he can pitch, they have to have players in blue and orange uniforms cross home plate more often.

[metirish]

Mets making errors tonight..everything is wrong right now.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I like beer!! If the Mets keep playing like they have the past few weeks, I'm going to need lots of it in October.

[Guest KC]

Think of how much beer we'd need if we were St. Louis fans this past week
everyone! Next week's a new season ...


... er, that's all I got. 'nigh 'nigh

At least they have that big brewery in town.

Not if we're going to continue to score runs at the rate of about 3 per week

[metirish]

Getting beat is bad enough but we are getting embarrassed here...
