Adolfo Phillips?

Potrzebie.

I'm harboring some anticipatory angst that Francoeur will get more PT than is warranted, at Pagan's expense. I could live with Frenchy as a backup and occasional starter against some lefties.

Jerry Grote?

There's some life here. One of Hickman's 1974 HR's was against the Mets' George Stone. But was it a walk off? I'll check.

Injured selectees may participate in the opening introductions.

Centerfield wrote: Great point smg. 2009 may have just been an outlier. "May have just been"? Were you expecting the return of Cory Sullivan and Angel Berroa? Anyway, I think that one of this season's turning points was the removal of Maine and Perez from the rotation. Those two pitchers killed the Mets when they started.

Massive Heart Attack For Steinbrenner

Sometimes, ya gotta defer to the Met eyeballs that have been scouting Beltran. Maybe he's ready. Francoeur batting sixth or Cora batting second bothers me a whole lot more than Beltran slotted for cleanup after the AS break.

I didn't agree with Manuel callling for that bunt either, but the manager's explanation for the Thole bunt play makes perfect sense to me. But I assume that Thole read the playbook and digested it in full, options and all. If Thole was given the option to swing away, then Thole wouldn't have flouted Jerry's instructions by swinging away.

Dickey led off that inning with a single, ferchrissakes. It's like having your leadoff guy up in the top of the first inning to start the game only he gets to bat with a runner on first handicap. And then that leadoff guy singles. And then it's Reyes and the 3-4-5 after that. Nobody was out. How often do you get that opportunity? The pitcher led off with a single. Dickey. The pitcher. What's the run expectancy for when the inning begins with the 9 and 1 batters each singling? It's gotta be better than when the 1 and 2 guys lead with singles, no?

Jerry Manuel was content with one score, Never imaginin' the Braves would score four.
