was thinking Matt Franco too , I'm guessing this player played under Bobby Valentine.

Ty Wiggington

Joe McEwing

A lot of rain down there apparently , although Lennon reports that the tarp is coming off

I like the idea of this thread , one problem I see though is that not many people tune in via mlb.tv , so we don't get to hear these nuggets . If I may I would like to remark upon Cohen never passing up an opportunity to needle the MFY's Over the weekend it was commenting that the facade "looks more like molding that you might put up in your living room." Last night in giving the OoTS he was beside himself in telling us that Anderson Hernandez ," yes that Anderson Hernandez has hit a three run home run in the Bronx , his first home run since 2006 , it could only happen in that stadium".....Ouch paraphrasing a bit there

Cora - ss Martinez - lf Beltran - cf Wright - 3b Church - rf Sheffield - dh Murphy - 1b Schneider - c Castillo - 2b Redding - sp I like the symmetry there with junior Lunchpail, a wining symmetry I believe.

I'm curious about Stevo's previous 11 posts going back to 2006.

Very nice and not nice at all. Green has been great though , see him last night, first guy he pitched to was in a 0 - 2 hole damn quick.

Yes , I should have qualified my remark to account for the present . Bring Wily but not at the expense of Fernando , cut Stokes or something .

I'd keep Martinez , he's been doing better. Wili Mo has no future with this team .

mad at Rick Peterson

That's that settled then , great.

Wright all up in Pelfs kitchen. How do you suppose the talk went? It looked to me like Wright was talking in jive to Pelf with the way he had all the movement going on.

That's a winning team right there folks , looking at that winning nine makes me confident that we will be watching playoff baseball this season.

] working through what looks like a dead arm period. He may be fair to poor his next few starts, or need to skip a start, but then he'll be fine again. Which is pretty awesome. I voted for this although I don't know that it's a dead arm period.A combo of one and two would work.

I tend to agree with you LFSW. For me Jerry has lost that O.G. swagger he had last season.He needs to find his inner gansta.

Hard to believe it's a year already. I don't miss you Willie. With 101 games to go what would the Mets need to do realistically the rest of the way? After they fired Willie they went 55-38 in the remaining 93 games . Need to win 60 games?

But the Mets have an entire history built upon losing. The club has always played in the shadow of its �storied� American League counterparts, the Yankees. In their 1962 inaugural season, the club set an MLB record for futility, winning 40 games and losing 120.

A lot depends on the status of Sheffield in regards to Fernando from what I have read.

nothing

Excellent KTE. Right of the bat I learned something I was wondering about....when was the last time the Mets were in Baltimore .
