Big ol' Jeff D'Amico Don't pitch Todd Helton away-ay Oh-oh-oh Big ol' Jeff D'Amico Because there goes your ERA!

Frazier signed on the cheap to a two-year, $12 million deal before the start of the season. I don't know that they'd offer for him. But they're a team that I thought had some good hitters but was unable to squeeze into the picture in a strong division

I'm hoping the crucible of pitching with little-to-no margin for error is making men out of these young pitchers. I get the idea � from last season as well as this one � that it's terribly unhealthy for Colon. That if he knows the team can give him some support, he can stay around the plate, give up 1-3 runs, pitch deep into the game, and the offense and the bullpen can pick him up. But if he loses faith in his offense/defense/bullpen, and knows he's got to hold the other team to 0-1 runs, he ends up trying to be too fine, working against his strength, and giving up seven.

I've been thinking they looked like a Metly trading partner.

Puma says he has a reliable source telling him there's nothing hap'nin' on the trade front right now.

He didn't.

Too bad, pervs. The dream of a 12-game losing streak is lost. LOST!

Oops, Laggy can't be traded. I just heard a commercial saying he's going to be at the Steiner store in Roosevelt field next week.

Brewers, Brewers, if you're able Call the pen for Corey Knaeble I'm about to cut my cable If you sweep us with a broom.

A break! An actual gen-u-ine break!! [bigpurple:1yrs0gcz]All fear the managerial reign of Bob Geren![/bigpurple:1yrs0gcz]

Hey, Duda, I hear Broxton likes to tell Polish jokes.

I'm getting the idea that Go-Go isn't really close to 100%.

Ah, deGrom runs the bases like a Met.

Bottom of the order rally for the Mets? Grandy with men on base.

deGrom's stretchability comes in handy!

Bob Geren auditioning to be the next Mets manager, trying to work with a 1-0 lead.

I smell a trade. Laggy is sitting. Matz is coming. So I close my eyes and see Laggy and Niese going to the Cubs for somebody.

Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal taking time off from his run in Orville Redenbocker Live! to tweet that Matz's promotion is about to happen and an announcement will come later today. He has no explicit confirmation.

I'm tempted, too. Cuddy's sunburn (to say nothing of his productivity) sure makes him look too used up to handle the daily grind. Terry's usage sure seems to suggest he's concerned, too. David Wright spent, what, a month in AAA?

John Belushi time.

Man, that's got to be as far away from big league ball as it gets. Not only are you at the bottom of the food chain playing with teenagers, but they have all of one week of pro ball under their belts. Plus, there's like 35 of them on the roster and they all expect you to pay for lunch.

Who? Yeah, I don't know either, but apparently he's a Mets prospect who just got himself an unpaid, 50-day vacation. He's apparently appeared in six games in his minor league career, and considering that a guy has to be caught twice in order to trigger the suspension, I'm guessing a seventh appearance will be unlikely.

You might want to at least put an ellipse in if you incompletely quote a statement. You just owe your team something more if you have a meeting and ask them to do something different and you go out there and do the same thing. Shaking things up just for the change in perspective has a value. Demonstrate trying for them by trying to find an edge yourself.
