    Pagan has had Jose-itis tonight. You're a lead off hitter, son. Put the ball on the ground.

    I didn't notice until just now that all 8 starters in this series have ERAs under 4. They could all be this quick.

    Coming into the 7th inning stretch...this has been a pretty good game.

    Edgy, I was able to get SNY broadcast by going to mlb.com, selecting "Video" and then "Watch MLB,TV". It will then give you all of the games and network options.

    I mean, 1989 Rookie of the Year Jerome Walton?

    Pat Burrell, who signed with the G-men earlier this season, has put up decent numbers in San Fran: .286/.365/.484/.849 in 32 games and 104 PA. This will be the first time we will have seen this Met-killer since 2008.

    Ed Norton is out as The Hulk in The Avengers. Reportedly, Mark Ruffalo is getting a look to replace him.

    I like the 10pm games (they're 9pm for me). The house is quiet, I'm done with all my daily tasks...and next week: Vin Scully!

I see so many Mets games as opposed to other teams that anytime I see that situation I think the lead runner will only get to second because of Frenchy...even if he's not playing.

    To San Francisco. I'm almost giddy...almost.

    I have watched a couple of non-Mets games over the past few weeks. Everytime there is a runner on first and the batter gets a base hit to right field, I think, "there's no way that lead runner gets to third." But, they did everytime. Then I think, "there would be runners on first and second rather than first and third if Frenchy were in right." That is his one asset...but it's not enough to give him any total advantage over the three players that should be out there.

    I like the flat as well.

    I can agree with that. I think the design is flawed and we need another starter.

    I give Omar credit for picking up a cheap and disposable arm that he could throw against the wall when/if Maine/Ollie/Niese didn't work out. I don't find the signing any different than Tim Redding/Livan Hernandez/Jose Lima/Chan Ho Park/etc...Dickey ended up pitching spectacularly, and I'll give Dickey credit for that...but Omar has a history of having has-beens and never-weres waiting in the wings that rarely pan out the way Dickey has. Now, aside from whether Dickey's first half success was general management luck or general management genuis, my larger point is that it would be logical to expect Dickey's performance to trend back towards his 5+ career ERA at some point. I think it would be in the best interests of the team to add one more proven starter to combat that possibility.

    I disagree. There was absolutely no indication that Dickey would perform to the level he has in 2010. His best ML season was last year for the Twinkies as a reliever when he pitched to a 4.62 ERA. I would need to know exactly what insight Omar had before I give him credit for anything more than luck (out of desperation and lack of options) for picking him up. I give Omar slightly more credit for Tak since he is a rookie from Japan. Don't get me wrong, I love what both of them have done in the first half. But I have, especially in Dickey's case, more trepidation than confidence in them duplicating those numbers in the second half.

Maybe Manuel could even find a legitimate setup guy among a mediocre list of in-house candidates that includes Bobby Parnell and Ryota Igarashi. But the Mets got lucky with these patch jobs in the first half and really need to reinforce these areas with a trade or two before the July 31 non-waivers deadline. A thousand times YES!
