That would make for some interesting press.

We all know his M.O.
But he also has that loyalty factor that he throws into the mix at the strangest times.

I used to grumble about Torre for getting his own middle relievers in there. But this polar extreme is worse.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Booth just said Terry told Fox it's important to get every team's uniform in the game at least once, so I have to assume we're getting Bart of Familia next inning. Unless he counts his own trip to the mound to get Lester out of there.

[Edgy MD]

Bench otherwise burned. Terry, you pyromaniac.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Rats!

NL All-Stars offense resembles a typical Mets night. Maybe Terry's the problem after all!

Unless he plans on going to Colon mid-inning, he's not getting a Met into this game.

WTF, TERRY.

edit: Forgot Thor was not pitching tonight.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

What??? Rodney??? Are you kidding me, Terry?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

And now Jansen?


I know this shouldn't upset me, but it does. The defending National League champs won't get a single one of their players in the game? We're seeing closers who were traded mid-season and NOT the guy leading the league in saves? I get saving Bart and Strasburg if this goes 10. But at least give us Familia.

I'm irrationally angry about this also.

There's only one way he don't end up smelling like a pile of poop. We have to tie it vs. Britton.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Screw you, Terry! After all the crap we've put up with all season, is it too much to give us one guy in the All-Star Game?

[Zvon]

TC will use the closer for closer excuse, and I'll accept that the way they play the game these days. It's Colon that bugs me. Even for one batter.

He's the "long guy" Buck? There is no "long guy" in the All Star game ya dunce.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Booth finally catching up to Terry.

[Zvon]

If TC loses his excuse will be he played to win...cause it counts.

And EVEN SO... Jon Lester is your long guy. Not your hometown celebrity. I'm pissed.

[Zvon]

Shame on you TC. You're not the only Met I tuned in to see.

Well, up side, rest for all. If Colon gets in the ASG next season and plays, I'll forgive him.

And we know Lester isn't all that because the Mets kicked his butt two weeks ago. It's not like we all were clamoring for a fifth Cub in the game.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Screw you, Terry! Screw you.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

The kid singing the cancer song in the tight skirt got more field time than a Met tonight.

Boooooo!

LOL.

That was disappointing, but I'm sure TC had Familia saved for 9th.

Colon, you know, prolly doesn't deserve to be there.

But he is there and it's his manager and he should have gotten the fat old fuck in there. I say that with love.


Hosmer, "I'll take the truck for pops."
lol, awesome.

[seawolf17]

I'm okay with Familia in the 9th. Not using Colon is almost inexcusable.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Terry, if you are going to screw over your own fans -- and your own players -- you have to at least win the damn game.

Would rather have seen Colon in there instead of that Padre pitcher, and especially instead of Rodney.

[Zvon]

Pete Rose is to a bow tie what Ken Rosenthal is to a speedo.

Terry: "I care more about the fans of every other team than my own."

[batmagadanleadoff]

I blame Bud Selig.
