[Frayed Knot]

Lannan shut us down on 4 hits last time (June 6) so we owe him one.
That was also the last game John Maine pitched.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Good Ollie on view thru two.

[Guest Edgy DC]

David's got some ducks here.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And he puts one to the track but no further.

Nyjer Morgan still engaging in piracy.

[metirish]

Anyone else's cablevision SNY HD feed not working properly? I've got no sound at all and only on SNY.

[Guest Edgy DC]

They get some measure of revenge by picking Nyjer off.

[Guest Edgy DC]

DP.

Boo.

[metirish]

Omar in the booth and Cohen throws him a softball , jeez...

"Hey Omar , we know it can be tough to be a player in NY , what about being a general manager?"

puleeeeese

[nymr83]

Omar cites Santos as a positive. I see him as a negative because his little hot streak essentially forced a better player out of town and now he's showing his true colors. Ashie still thinks he's the MVP.

[metirish]

Someone needs to save Minaya from himself , sounding very desperate right now in the booth.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Like we all don't sound desperate.

[nymr83]

nice catch Francoeur!

[Piggiestomatoes]

Is Murphy playing RF???

Listening to Omar is going to make my head explode...

Ramon Castro, since trade	36	.133	.278	.333	.611
Omir Santos, since trade	87	.244	.287	.329	.617

I know Minaya's back is against the wall, but there's nothing here to get upset over.

Castro has a long enough track record to tell me that thats just a short-term abberartion, its only 36 PAs! Santos has no track record and I say this is who he is. my original plan (sending him down and thus holding on to all 3 catchers in the organization) was still far wiser than the "omar plan" though.

[Piggiestomatoes]

4-0. With the way they're swinging, it may as well be 14-0.

And he'd be praised for his such wisdom if he ended up with a struggling Castro and recalled Santos after a month of ineptitude?

Be fair here.

[Piggiestomatoes]

6 fucking walks in 5.1 innings??? Who's working with this moron?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bets down. Last chance.

Another night without any extra base hits.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Doesn't matter how many Ollie walks if we can't get runs off this horrible team.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, I'm glad I passed on attending that one.

No more John Lannan starts for me.

First Nats win for Jim Riggleman.

now he's a got a struggling Santos and no Castro at all. If he'd had a struggling Castro he'd still have had Santos in AAA if that looked like a better option today. He had a good chance to keep the team's options open with very little downside (did anyone expect Santos to be much better than Castro going forward if at all?)

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's not like Castro went for free.

This is just too silly. You're bemoaning the loss of a guy who has hit .133 since being traded.

This was the conversation tonight.

Fman: "Boy the Mets are really laying down out there."
Fboy: "I don't see them laying down, they're all standing around."
Fman: "Yeah, good point buddy."

Even if Castro was still around we'd still be forced to watch Mets "hitters" like Muffy, Cora, Reed, etc. pound balls into the dirt night after night. Not to mention the pitching.

Oy gevalt.

[Fman99]

And no love from the ugly chick tonight.
