    Johan batting in the bottom of the seventh. (Good!) And he singles a runner to third! (GOOD!)

    Kevin: The team feels like it's kinda on the brink of falling apart.
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    Kevin Burkhardt now reporting that the father-in-law was taken away in an ambulance, and as far as they know, Frankie is still locked up in the Citi Field jail.
  4. Benjamin Grimm
    I was thinking the same thing. The main difference is one incident is "alleged" and the other one was witnessed by a room full of people. The other key difference is that Santana is more useful to the Mets than Rodriguez is. Most of us would like to see Frankie go anyway, so it's easy to call for his exit. I think he probably is tradeable. There are a lot of teams (about 30) who think a big name closer is necessary. I bet there are at least a few who are in a pennant race right now who'd like to add some strength to their pen for the next two months. If the Mets wanted to find a trade partner for Frankie, I bet they could.

    At least you have a good excuse! What do you do if the phone rings while you're beating up your father-in-law? Do you stop to answer it, or continue the beating? (15 per cent of Americans would answer the phone.)
  7. Benjamin Grimm
    Well, yeah, from Jerry's perspective there's no reason not to stay. I'd keep showing up and getting paid until they fired me, and then I'd stay home and get paid. You're right, I had forgotten about the required token minority interviews. What a farce.

    I agree with interim guys being pointless when there are only seven to ten games left in the season. I was glad that they let Art Howe finish up, and they should have done the same with Bud Harrelson and Wes Westrum. But with 50 games left? I'd rather give Chip Hale, or Tim Teufel, or Ken Oberkfell, or somebody, a chance to audition for the job. Or even better, choose the permanent replacement, like they did when Bobby Valentine replaced Dallas Green in 1996. (And when Bud Harrelson replaced Davey Johnson in 1990.) There's no reason at all for Jerry to continue any longer. He's a dead man walking.

    The Mets haven't won two games in a row since June. I think the mojo thing has lost its mojo.
  10. Benjamin Grimm
    Wright gets a blow. (What will he do if the phone rings?)
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    I agree! That's exactly the kind of thing Jerry does! He tells his players to attack their fathers-in-law after most losses!

    Well, Beltran, Perez, and Castillo all come off the books after the 2011 season. That should afford quite a bit of flexibility, if not sooner then later.

    To further complicate things, he's ten-and-five, so he'd also have to agree to any trade.

    Royals fans must love that their young star has already begun mentally checking out.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, this is the kind of game where they surprise us and win 8-1. We briefly get our hopes up, and they then lose the next seven in a row.

    All three games from this past weekend's series in Philadelphia will close on Wednesday morning. Anyone who hasn't voted yet, and intends to, should get their votes in today. Schaefer POTG 8/6/10 - Phillies 7, Mets 5 Schaefer POTG 8/7/10 - Mets 1, Phillies 0 Schaefer PotG, 8/8/2010, Phillies 6, Mets 5 The August 8 game is still a bit short on votes. So far we've only heard from Edgy DC, LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr, themetfairy, G-Fafif, Benjamin Grimm, and Ashie62.

    If the Mets felt any sense of urgency about this, they'd act NOW! But I doubt that Bobby's the guy they want, so they'll probably sit idly by while he goes elsewhere. Worst possible scenario: Girardi to Cubs, Valentine to the Bronx.

    I only made one trip to Citi Field this year, back in April. I've since seen the Mets three times on the road, once in Baltimore and twice in San Juan. I may be done for the year. I won't have a chance to go for the remainder of August, and I have a hunch that by September Citi Field will be 1982 dreary. But perhaps I'll be tempted to take in a game if there's a promotion that appeals to my kids. A less crowded stadium would make a visit to the Mets Hall of Fame more pleasant. (We skipped it in April because the line was crazy long.)

    Is he the guy from Starsky and Hutch?
