IGT July 28 Gay Dame Mets v. Reds

Sweep the Redlegs, Johnny.

I don't get the point of trying to give guys days off if Terry's going to let them talk him into letting them play anyway. Reyes today isn't the first time it's happened. If you feel Reyes would benefit from a rest, then do it.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Carter used to regularly talk Davey Johnson out of days off.

Who was supposed to be today's shortstop? I'm curious who our backup actually is.

[TransMonk]

I believe it's Turner, with Harris playing second.

Turner. Collins cited it on his WFAN interview yesterday. he mentioned giving Turner a day off yesterday because he wanted him fresh because he was thinking of giving Reyes a day off today and he'd be the guy. But reports this morning suggest Reyes talked his way back into the lineup.

It's just that he's coming off a hamstring strain, it's hot, he's shown signs in the past of growing fatigued as the season winds down (but who knows, maybe that was residual thyroid issues caused by eating a lot of shellfish in the summer time?)

on the o ther hand, he's freaking awesome and you want him in the lineup always.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He did something that suprised me last night --- rippling a ball down the line in right and pulling up halfway to second and trotting in. If he doesn't go for three there, he usually at least tears through second to force a throw before slamming on the breaks before the cutoff man can throw behind him. Probably best that he didn't pull that because Bruce came up cleanly with the ball and he can throw and there were two outs.

Either he was taking it easy because of his leg or he's growing up and just made the smart choice.

Your New York Potential Broomsticks:

Reyes SS
Turner 2B
Murphy 1B
Wright 3B
Pagan CF
Bay LF
Duda RF
Thole C
Capuano P

I really wish Terry would flip Pagan and Duda in the order.

He's getting there. These things happen in Terrytime.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Anybody joining the team to replace Beltran? Evans? Baxter?


Will the 911th Met debut on 9/11?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tracky said, of all people, Mike Nickeas, but it depended upon when the deal was OKayed.

Press conference at noon.

[Gwreck]

I don't think they can call Evans back up quite yet as he hasn't been in the minors for 10 days yet.

"I'm Daniel Murphy and I hit third!"




Game to be carried on MLBN for the otherwise unconnected and unencumbered.

supposedly they cited the reduced Bisons position players due to injuries as the reason for calling up Nickeas. I don't really like that they're choosing guys based on the Bisons situation and not the Mets..

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm thinking it maybe is for Metly reasons, as in, "I can't say so yet, but Paulino's heading to the Indians."

[ashie62]

Paulino would be going to a different Indian burial ground.

You know, there's a lot of sense to that.

It's almost noon and a half. Anbody following?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

SurfingTheMets Andy Martino Alderson wouldn't rule out other deals before Sunday, but made it sound very unlikely anyone else goes.

NYPost_Mets Mike Puma Alderson says probably no more trades: "We've made it a little tougher on our players. I'd be very reluctant to make it tougher on them."

NYPost_Mets Mike Puma Alderson called Wheeler a prospect with "top end potential."

@AdamRubinESPN Adam Rubin Alderson on Wheeler's major league ETA: "Is 2012 a possibility? Probably unlikely." #mets

[TransMonk]

Murph keeps on hitting and a steal.

[TransMonk]

And a run! 1-0 good guys.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Rbi single for Wright! 1-0 us

[TransMonk]

Cappy gives it right back.

[Guest attgig]

damn. off the bat, I thought pagan could've gotten it. i guess not

[Guest attgig]

oh geez! pagan. you should've DEFINITELY CAUGHT THAT BLALL!!!

[Guest attgig]

pagan got crossed up, and changed direction. it bounced off his glove... damn you pagan and your bad defense in 2011. look like pagan of 2010!

[Guest attgig]

oh thole...

[TransMonk]

I think CF needs to be addressed in the offseason. Pagan's 2010 was nice, but he has regressed on both offense and defense.
