The Return of Willie

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Brewers are arriving Friday but are off today and their bench coach of course is with his first true love this afternoon. You know, the one that loves him so much they wouldn't consider hiring him either.

As for tomorrow, David Lennon of Newsday sez:

]I think you might see Wright walk over to say hello. Beyond that, I'm betting the rest of the Mets keep their distance during batting practice. It's going to be an awkward few days at Citi Field.

What a completely unnecessary tragedy this became.

I hope Delgado doesn't see him and go into a slump.

Why is the name of God would Willie be treated like that by the players? I guess Delgado's crew will avoid him , this is beyond silly.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Delgado has a crew?

[G-Fafif]

="Edgy DC"]Delgado has a crew?

When you're a Delg
You're the big man in town
Blasting balls to the Porch
Turning frowns upside down

It's not much of a crew.

[metirish]

Yeah Delgado has his Puerto Rican crew , just like Pete Flynn runs the Irish crew....

[Benjamin Grimm]

He doesn't have enough hair for a crew.

I know the Carlos/Willie stuff makes for good copy, if for no other reason than because his turn-around (more or less) coincided with the managerial change. But let's review now that Delgado has three full seasons in the book: - He was real good during year 1 plus the back half of year 3 - and not-so-good during year 2 and the front half of year 3 about 80% of that time were Willie games. So does anybody really think he was either slumping because of Willie, or that he was tanking it in order to get rid of him? ... particularly seeing as how neither one of which does himself any good.
