Poppy: ] Since the Mets still owe Perez $20M, it appears they are stuck with him or is there a possibility they can include him in a trade and eat a lot of his salary ? David Lennon: Mets are stuck with Perez. There's no escape for them on that contract. Maybe during the winter

rcoolc: What about GMJ? Can't we get rid of him already & bring Hessman up? He's been raking ALL spring! David Lennon: Hessman doesn't play CF. That's the only reason GMJ is on the roster. The Mets don't have another option.

Jeff daSkull: ] Personally I think David Wright is the most overrated player in baseball. I never saw a worse hitter with two outs and runners in scoring position. I say trade him for Evan Longoria or Ryan Zimmerman if those teams are stupid enough to do it David Lennon: Not gonna happen. And David Wright is not overrated. Check the numbers and see where they compare. Don't get hung up on the strikeouts. Now defensively, that's another story. He's certainly an overrated defensive player. Mike: ] What do you think Takahasi does tonight? David Lennon: 6 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 5 SO, 2 BB ... Leaves with Mets ahead, 5-1. Gets win. Poppy: ] Dave, what''s you take on Jason Bay...it's seems that he was more suited for Fenway then Citi Field. David Lennon: Bay boggles my mind. I really have no explanation for him. Maybe the three hits yesterday can be a springboard, to use a cliche. I have no idea where the power has gone - he's not even coming close to hitting HRs. rcoolc: ] Is Nieve falling apart or being abused? David Lennon: Defintely tired, no question about that. But it's Nieve we're talking about, too. he had a great start, but things tend to level out with a player of his caliber.

E.J.: ] If they get swept will Jerry get the boot despite losing 3/5 of his rotation this week? David Lennon: No. A sweep by the Yankees won't get Jerry fired. But back-to-back sweeps by Yanks and Phils might do the trick before the Mets head to Milwaukee - and a reunion with Manuel's old pal, Willie Randolph. Beth: By sending down Mejia they are going to ruin him like the Y's did to Joba David Lennon: To answer David's question, the Mets are headed for 6-game trip to Milwaukee and San Diego after Philly series, so we could see a Randolph redux, hopefully not at 3:14 a.m. As for Mejia, he's only 20, so he'll be fine.After this season, he can be a starter during the winter leagues, too. beth: ] what do u think of dan's comments about maine being a liar? David Lennon: Not to sound like Warthen's apologist, but he meant in an injury sense, as a competitor. He likes Maine - but neither he nor Jerry can tolerate a player not being honest about being hurt. Especially a starting pitcher

David Lennon: Just got in from DC about 30 minutes ago. Fire away with some question for what I like to call this "speed round" of Mets chat. Tom: ] Jennry Mejia going down to the minors soon? Friday May 21, 2010 1:18 Tom 1:18 [Comment From David D David D: ] When Igarashi comes back today/tomorrow, are they sending down Mejia? David Lennon: Maybe not yet. I predict Maine goes on DL to make room for Igarashi. The Mets bullpen needs arms at the moment. But in sorting out the rotation, Mejia needs to go down to get stretched out at some point, so he can possibly return as a starter sooner rather than later. Seriously, what the heck is going on with Maine? David Lennon: I'm sure his shoulder has been bothering him for a while now. One scout I talked to last night said he's looked hurt since spring training. That would explain the lack of velocity. Maine just didn't want to admit it. I can understand where he's coming from, but at some point, he's hurting the team, too, and that's where Manuel and Warthen drew the line last night.

He definitely perfected the old man look early on with the slacks pulled way up.

"soupcan"]Anybody else getting a 'Miss Piggy' vibe...? Oh yeah, and she has one of those weird fake ,plastered on smiles...

I have some actual real news. Six Years Later, Takahashi Is Facing the Yankees Again

Such a classic Pizza shot right there.

I don't really give a fiddlers fuck who's right or wrong in this instance but I do know I felt fucking good watching Jerry chewing one of his guys out.

Both NY teams stagger in to Citi Field tonight. Since beating Boston 10-3 two Friday's ago the MFY's have won five and lost eight . Does that surprise you?, the NY media doesn't cover Yankee losses .

Anyway, I think this is a terrible idea.

Ronnie-" unless the manager is pissed at you he'll walk of with you"....talking about the body language of Jerry.

Maine out of the game already... something happened.....Manuel is ripping him a new asshole in the dugout....did Maine start the game when he shouldn't have?

The Pagan-Kazanski link 1:11 PM By Mike Rose Before Angel Pagan hit an inside-the-park home run and started a triple play in the same game Wednesday night, Philadelphia's Ted Kazanski was the last player to do so 55 years ago. When reached by phone Thursday morning, the 76-year-old Kazanski remembered the triple play he started that day far more than his inside-the-park home run. That's because - get this - the triple play ended their season. "One swing," he said, "Bam! The season's over." All these years later the memory of that play is still fresh in the former shortstop's mind thanks to the incredible abruptness - not to mention oddity - of seeing a baseball season end on a triple play.

Hojo can go with him , again , not to overstate what they do but I think he has done little with some excellent hitters. Dan Wharton I think has done some good with little. Ollie I think is a special case.

Hire the Nets new owner and have him fire him while chatting with the beat writers. Seriously, it was good for a few weeks but it's time to go.

Is that a classic 70's shot of you?
