FP Santangelo has used the word "break" a dozen times since Turner attempted to bunt.

FIRE TERRY! Idiot. The Nationals color guy said that the Mets are doing the Nats a favor.

Don't bunt. He's wild. Don't give up an out.

Terry keeps using the same lineup (with one exception today, Satin) and they don't appear to be concerned about winning. How about playing players that might give a damn, such as Val P. and Baxter?

I knew that Harris had to be good for something!

Thank you LWFS.

Good point Hahn Solo. The Braves "strength of schedule" might be as high as the Mets. Rubin tweeted today that the Red Sox @ Mets was on a draft version but not on the final. I wonder what replaced it.

The Mets don't say anything about sexual orientation. What video are you watching? I'm watching the one where David Wright is carefully positioned at an angle, Bay didn't shave, Capuano looks odd, that video.

Six major league teams say "LGBT" or "sexual identity". There's no code, no "they mean it even though they don't say it". Why don't the Mets say it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcpkRL_5IYk&feature=relmfu

By whom? Which unshaven Met says "LGBT"?

Nice effort but it's not part of the "It Gets Better" campaign as I had hoped: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=19200499&partnerId=aw-5305746529453925875-1037

Says this column: http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/6968872/new-york-mets-release-jason-bay I didn't know this: ... former Mets GM Omar Minaya gave him a $17 million option for 2014 that vests if he reaches 600 plate appearances in 2013, or 500 PAs in both 2012 and 2013. New GM Sandy Alderson has done a nice job of clearing some salary this season, and it would be a disaster for New York if that option vests. And there's more on the Mets: http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/6967863/the-new-york-mets-2011-fate-2012-prospects I don't usually care what Jim Bowden says, but this part was interesting: ...the bold move they should make this winter besides re-signing Reyes is to try to dangle minor league infielder Wilmer Flores as the centerpiece in a trade for Reds catcher Yasmani Grandal. The Reds already have another promising young catcher in Devin Mesoraco, and Grandal, their 2010 first-round pick, doesn't really have a future in Cincy. Flores is a promising 19-year-old who held his own this year in the Class A Florida State league while being young for the level. Grandal, 22, hit .305/.401/.510 with 31 doubles, 14 home runs while moving quickly from Class A to Triple-A this year. The Mets have had a revolving door behind the plate ever since Paul Lo Duca left, and although Josh Thole is a nice player, he's not a future All-Star like Grandal. Sandy Alderson, the team's vice president and general manager, did a tremendous job in dealing Carlos Beltran at the trade deadline to San Francisco in exchange for the Giants' top pitching prospect, Zack Wheeler. It is this type of trade, as well as perhaps acquiring Grandal, that would make a successful offseason for the Mets and vault them back into contention rather than spending lavishly on free agents as they've done in the recent past. -- Jim Bowden

The White Sox are still afraid to play the Mets in New York.

It's 2012 Schedule Release Day! http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/34624/2012-mets-schedule

That's at least the 3d time this year that Storen struck out a Met to end a game with his slider. How come I know it's coming but the batters look surprised?

Leadoff walk to Reyes and he stays put. With each game, the positive opinion I had for Terry fades away.

Way to work the count Lucas.

Here's a wacky idea: how about having Reyes steal?

ARGH!!!

Parnell will do great in ST when there's no pressure and will fool everybody again. I guess Terry forgot that Zimmerman got the GW hit off Parnell 10 days ago.
