Strong bounceback season for Wright 5. Angel Pagan playing better than we'd have signed up for from Carlos Beltran had he been available all year 6. The magnificent third-base coaching of Chip Hale 7. Hisanori Takahashi's mastery of the MFYs I agree with all of these, except #4. I don't think that was much of a surprise.

This is what happens when non-All Stars play in the game. The National League loses. Why don't we have Halladay in for 2 innings? What about Wainwright or Carpenter? Hong-Chih Kuo is NOT an all-star quality pitcher, his good half season be damned.
-
2 hits, a steal and a nice play at 3rd. And Charlie Manuel takes him out of the game after 4.5 innings. Hey Charlie: YOU SUCK.
-
In a shocking development, Charlie Manuel picks Ryan Howard over Joey Votto again, this time for starting DH. What a tool.
-
I only see a need to add bat if we are trading away a regular position player in order to get a pitcher, or a regular player (Reyes or Pagan) is going to be hurt for an extended period of time. Sure, in theory I'd like to get more offense out of catcher and second base but I don't see a lot of good options out there. What I would really like to see is another top-of-the-line starting pitcher (ie. Cliff Lee). That ship's already sailed, so I guess we settle for something lesser, but pitching should still be the priority.

Sounds like a total load of crap. He's a professional player, he'll figure out how to platoon, or else he risks not playing at all.

Reds at Phillies tonight: Travis Wood (CIN) has 8 perfect innings. Roy Halladay has thrown 9 shutout innings (5 hits). Tied at 0-0 going to the bottom of the 9th.

I guess I'll post this one here. After all, I'm certainly above reposting dubiously-sourced rumors...well, maybe we can make an exception: Is Jayson Werth having an affair with Chase Utley's wife?

Angel Pagan and Jenrry Mejia for Cliff Lee???

I would like to see Omar step in and make a last minute counteroffer. -
Couldn't figure where to put this. From a recent Keith Law ESPN chat: Mike (DC) Whats your take on Josh Thole....backup catcher, league average catcher, solid regular? Klaw Solid regular with defensive improvement.

Edgy DC wrote: Division race lust secondbase upgrade lust got us our Castillo, we overdosed on him, and now we lust for another secondbase upgrade. As we crash from one high, we seek to score another. STOP THE VICIOUS CYCLE! Meanwhile we lost Dustin Martin and Drew Butera! And they're.... well, they're middling AAA players at 26 years old, but... I have a point here. It wasn't division race lust secondbase upgrade that gave him a 4 year contract...

Things I learned from that piece: Rivera's only blown save against the Mets was the Matt Franco game in '99. (Wright '06 was a tie game). When he first came over here, Jeff Francoeur joked that if the Mets really wanted to get into Larry's head, they'd cheer him instead of booing him and it would throw him off. In a perfect world, he'd get dead silence when introduced, he'd strike out, and then get a standing O as he walked back to the dugout for the last time with a big Larrrrry chant that would make it clear we were acknowledging him.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I forgot that, I will subtract something for it. But I wasn't trying to "use up" points his teammates didn't earn, that's not how I roll. Not meant as a personal knock, just an observation born out of frustration with the Mets' inability to give Bronson Arroyo the beating he so richly deserves.

He also hit a ringing double. But then got thrown out on the basepaths like an idiot, negating much of the value of the double.
