    It's the job of a sports franchise to work at the best strategies for winning, not to disclose all their strategies to the media.

    19 ITG notes already? I started to wonder if it was an afternoon game and no one had told me.

    Whereas I need any outfielder who can hit over .240.

    First base was the only position I had depth at, and I gambled that Thome was playing over his head the first month of the season. My pitching staff was such a disaster Victor Zambrano would have improved it.

    Some thoughts from Adam Rubin: ]Kris Benson: Perhaps Minaya could swing a deal where Mr. Benson comes back to Mets but Mrs. Benson stays in Baltimore. Scott Kazmir: We're sure Rick Peterson would only need about seven minutes to fix the Tampa Bay hurler. Who knows? Maybe the D-Rays would be willing to take Lastings Milledge and David Wright off the Mets' hands. Tom Seaver: You know "The Franchise," who no longer calls Met games on TV is dying to get back into the spotlight. Besides, he's gotta be better than Zambrano. Mr. Met: Have you seen him throw those T-shirts into the crowd? What an arm. Besides, he's gotta be better than Zambrano. Roger Clemens: Mike Piazza's gone and you know if the Mets offer him 10 cents more than the Astros do, The Rocket will be pitching at Shea. Anthony Velazquez: High school hurler has more perfect games (2) this spring than Mets have had in 45 years. Al Leiter: Mabye Carlos Delgado could convince the Yankee analyst how great it is to play in New York.

    ]Lima also became disgusted before the end of the inning, and not just with the balk call, just the third of his major-league career, which "changed the whole game" in his estimation. Upset with Hernandez's strike zone, Lima asked the umpire why he wasn't getting the benefit of calls on the corners, or the few inches off the plate. According to the pitcher, Hernandez replied: "You're not going to get three inches, four inches, five inches." "What about Smoltz?" Lima asked. "You're not John Smoltz," Hernandez allegedly replied. I tend to believe this probably happened more or less the way Lima recounts it. And I tend to think this is one of the dumbest and more outrageous traditions in baseball -- the idea that a strike zone is an expression of the umpire's personal taste.

    If the A's want to deal Zito's contract, they'll take less than Milledge for him.

    With Julio rounding into form, they can spare Heilman in the bullpen.
  12. Theoldmole
    Once again, Willie shows his ineptness as a manager by sticking with Julio. If only we'd thrown him off the team...

    Dodged the bullet on a shot but foul.
  14. Theoldmole
    Just one more out. Of course, it's Renteria.
  15. Theoldmole
    Let's get this out.

    Mets. I love you. One guy after another picks them up, Yay Kaz! And now walking the bases loaded to pitch to Delgado? A smart move? Perhaps not.
  17. Theoldmole
    And Valentin follows - two men on.
  18. Theoldmole
    Andruw continues his assault on Met catchers.

    You can say "stomach flu."
  20. Theoldmole
    Mets starting rotation looking less like the Maine, and more like the Titanic?
  21. Theoldmole
    What's with Z?
  22. Theoldmole
    I love Delgado.
  23. Theoldmole
    Suddenly Reyes can't stop hitting.
  24. Theoldmole
    I guess once again, we've proved how inept Willie and Peterson are. After all, they wanted to get rid of Julio, and we all argued them into sticking with him. Right?
  25. Theoldmole
    I went to a play that got out at 11:30 -- turned on XM to catch the final score, and....
