Well. we don't need another injured pitcher.
-
It can't get worse
-
This next half inning is the game.
-
Could be worse. As we know painfully well, it's possible to come back from a two run deficit.

And he walks another.

The good news is no one got hurt. That's the only good news.

He should have gotten that one.

MF -- no, he actually was James Joyce. Just not the same James Joyce.

What can we make of the fact that last night's home plate umpire was James Joyce?

Perhaps...Grady McMurtry, Caliph of the Ordo Templi Orientis?

this is to explain why they lost? They haven't lost yet.

I don't think last year's starting numbers are all that important. Here's another theory -- Peterson and Randolph have seen something in Heliman's mechanics, delivery, mind set, biorhythm, astrological sign, that has convinced them his strongest role is in the bullpen. Conceivably, they may even be right. Here's the best way to test this. We set up two parallel universes. In one of them, Heilman stays with the Mets with a nice fat contract extension, remains a setup man for a couple more years, then replaces Wagner as closer, makes New Yorkers forget Mariano Rivera, and goes to the Hall of Fame as a Met. In the other, he gets traded to another team that installs him as a starter, and we see what happens. Now, in one of these parallel universes, I win the Nobel Prize for literature. I just have to figure out which one.

I'm figuring there's a reason why the Mets have Heilman in the bullpen, and it's that they've figured out he's better in the bullpen.

I have XM in my car, which means I can listen to Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour, Gunsmoke, Philip Marlowe and The Shadow, and small doses of Rob Dibble and Kevin Kennedy or Al Franken, plus a wonderful assortment of music. My 6-year-old grandson likes to listen to the Latino hip-hop station, and I've gotten to like that. I never even think about Mike and the Dog any more, much less miss them.

Remember the last time the Mets brought up a virtual unknown named Perez for the playoffs.

Not me. -
I loved it.

I once rode up an elevator at the Garden with Ed Sullivan.

Such Bullshit from a Chicago sportswriter. The Cardinals are not mediocre.

]Triples: Edgardo Alfonzo, Gary Carter, Lenny Dykstra, Bud Harrelson, Keith Hernandez, 1. Jose breaks it in Game One.

If Manny Acta gets a managerial job, any choices for Mets new third base coach? Joe Torre?

A Jets game????

Yeah, but George may be weighing "baseball protocol" on one hand, "steal the back page from the Mets" on the other.
