Liked what Cohen said there a LOT.. Parnell finding it easy to get up for the 8th inning

Parnell up and not Putz

="Swan Swan H"]Who else knows how Santana feels? This guy. Sam Elliot on the left , guy used to be everywhere at one point

WTF Murphy.....you can't make this shit up

This Mets defence behind Johan I think will at the end of the season prompt him to describe this year as his Annus horribilis

Church out of the game for some reason

STFU Burkhartd

WOW...Omir

Good to see you too Swanie , don't know why but I really don't like Youkilis at all , he looks like a prick maybe that's it.

Lots of Mets fans there , nice to see that.

Is this a hot ticket in Boston or just another team for them?

There's just no getting away from him , he'll get you every time Uncle Sam. (Merged from Uncle Sam comes after ex-Met, 5/22/2009)

I'd pull the trigger on Johnson, what would Boston do with Johnson?

I concur with CF. The MFP's should feel right at home in this home run hitting haven.

Great read , love the look back at past games. What was Cohen in the hospital again?

I really wish I shared your optimism about Murphy , but I don't , at least not for now anyway.

71 home runs so far in 19 home games...at least I think I heard right there on that....saw the three hit last night back to back to back....all went to the same spot there in RF...unreal

I'm watching MLB Network's "On-Deck Circle" and they are reporting that Peavy said no.....Larkin then pipes in about time he got traded to the Mets " I nixed that deal because terms of a multi-year deal couldn't be worked out"....

His agent says Peavy wants to stay in the NL.

I should have noted and I'm not even sure why I posted that here but it came from Rubin today and not from the radio. But I agree with you LWFS, it's as if Jerry is covered if Murphy fails at first , I should post the article ] LOS ANGELES - The Daniel Murphy experiment in left field is over. Now, Murphy is the Mets' first baseman of the future. Or until Carlos Delgado returns in 10 weeks. Well, at least through the weekend, when Jerry Manuel will have had a few games to evaluate Murphy. A day after Murphy committed his third error in left field by dropping a sinking liner from the Dodgers' Juan Pierre, Manuel told Murphy he would now get a chance for a few games at first base. Murphy started there last night in the series finale against the Dodgers. The manager described Murphy, 24, as elated to be relieved of outfield duty. Murphy has only played 13 games at first since joining the Mets organization, all last season at Double-A Binghamton. He's been a third baseman for most of his pro career. "His reaction, it surprised me," Manuel said. "He just lit up, had a big smile. I spoke with (outfield coach) Razor (Shines) about it and he said, 'Oh yeah, he's like a kid with a new toy.' Whereas I'm like, 'I'm scared to death. If he can't catch it out there, how's he going to catch it in here?'" Murphy agreed infield should be easier for him, but noted that he will need to hone his footwork. Murphy didn't want to suggest a burden had been lifted. "When we win a pennant a burden will be lifted," he said. Murphy is a hard worker, so say this much for him: He'll get his uniform dirty, something Willie Randolph and others have knocked Delgado for not doing. "As an infielder, he should be better at first base probably because his problem before used to be throwing," infield coach Sandy Alomar Sr. said, referring to the bulk of Murphy's miscues in the minors at third base. "Playing first base, well, he doesn't have to make that many throws." Murphy is using Delgado's glove, which was passed to him through Alex Cora, who is on the DL with a torn thumb ligament. Murphy should receive his own glove soon. "I've got to put in an order," he said. Aside from inexperience at first base, Manuel hopes to put a better defensive lineup on the field each night, obviously needed after Monday's five-error game. He plans to institute regular early infield practice on road trips as well as on the first day of home series. Murphy moving to the infield also means more action for Ryan Church in right field. Gary Sheffield should play two of three games in the outfield at Fenway Park during the weekend. As for Murphy, Manuel acknowledged it may have been a mistake playing him in the outfield this season, although he noted that Murphy did show promise there late last season. The manager diplomatically agreed that it "would be nice" if the Mets had the prospects to promote from the minors to fill the exact voids needed, such as a shortstop when Jose Reyes missed five starts or now a first baseman. But that hasn't happened, with outfielder Angel Pagan and journeyman Ramon Martinez recently summoned instead. Meanwhile, what happens if Murphy doesn't show aptitude at first base? "I don't know where else you want me to go with him," Manuel deadpanned. "Third base?"

I'm not liking Jerry a lot this week , that as always is subject to change.

I'm going to guess that Minaya will trot out the stock answer here " We will use someone within the organization and I am not looking to make a trade , but of course I am always talking to other GM's"
