I'm just tired of beat writers throwing out speculation as fact, despite how logical it sounds. Let's review. Lennon: "Chris Young sounds very doubtful for Sunday." (emphasis added) Martino: "Also, it feels like Chris Young won't start Sunday. Misch an option. None of this is settled or official, tho. (emphasis added) Popper: "Mets say no word on Young status for Sunday and won't be commenting - which, as usual, sounds bad." (emphasis added) Rubin: "Mets "exploring different options" for weekend pitching. Sounds like Chris Young out, but no confirmation yet." (again, emphasis added) Popper's is the key there. "no word", "no comment". I understand it's their job to try to tell us what's going to happen, but this is how unfounded rumors start and get spread. Someone follows that up with "guess Young's going on the DL" and ESPN orLoudmouths or radio host say Young won't start on Sunday. All these people said roughly the same thing "Beltran to play 5 innings in a minor league game tomorrow. Doesn't sound good for Opening Day"

lose 5-3 with the tying run at the plate. pfft..the Mets would've gotten the tying run to third before losing. Phils blow the game too. Braves don't win. Mets don't lose. good day for the division?

Is it unclear/sore? I thought his bullpen yesterday was positive? Or are they just going to wait and reevaluate after the games? Might make sense, don't reveal anything, don't let Atlanta know when they should give a guy a day off if they get to fake a rookie or a lefty or something on Sunday.

metirish wrote: I watched a four innings of the Phillie game on MLB network, Oswalt was cruising and throwing bullets.....what happened to him? Saw on MLB that Boston have made it official and signed Gonzo to an absurd seven year $154 million deal..... I never saw the deatils on the Gonzo thing. that is quite a bit. I wonder if the Reyes contract ext will be announced soon, or if they'll wait until the minority sale is official..

Hughes DL'd with fake injury (no one's going to investigate that "dead arm"? really?) Nova fails again to get out of the 5th. Jeter grounded into a clutch DP and despite the pitcher throwing high to the SS who had to jump for it, was still thrown at first. Yanks down 5-1 to Texas. Seeing some Twitter buzz that Oswalt may have hurt his hip. They're up 3-2 over the Fishies right now. Oddly, Boston has a lead over Toronto. 3-2

Unless they try to shove a DH at us, which they won't given Fox blackout rules probably. geeze, no sooner do i write that that it's official, double header tomorrow will Carrasco's game be Ron Hodges day, or will he set the record with his number?

Geeze, whatever happened to Ya Gotta Believe? I'll still go to Chick Fil-A myself.. not like the stupid closed on Sundays thing gets in my way, since my whole stupid backwards pathetic county closes on Sundays anyway. (Including of course the mall where chick fil-a is) But the way their offense is going now looks like a good recipe for the Mets pitchers to get righted.

My mini goal here would be to get back above .500 by the time they face the Phillies at the end of the month. They'd need to go 9-3 for that. i admire your optimism. no, really, i do. you're like Scarlett Ohara, sitting alone at Tara, saying "well, tomorrow is another day". Yes, indeed it is. What's the alternative? Being bitter and angry and proclaiming that all our pitchers would be 6th starters on the PHillies and boo they all suck and Reyes will leave and Beltran will never walk again and Bay? who wants him anyway? lucky if he hits more home runs than Castillo for the Mets! I forgot about Jackie day.. I dunno.

Centerfield wrote: metirish wrote: On the problems scale regarding this team K-Rod is way down there for me . Fucking dismal. Really? It's at the top of mine. As of now, they suck in 2011. K-Rod can go a long way to making them suck in 2012. You say that now, but wait until Bobby Parnell is facing Ryan Howard in July of 2012 in a save situation. -
Also, I heard a brief bit on Michael Kay's show, during one of the commercials for the Mets "game". Don't know who they were talking to but whoever it was said that the weakness in the shoulder showed up in physical they gave Feliciano. And again later. So it sounds like what he needed was more rest to start with, and them using him in Spring Training was actually what caused the real damage.

Or, as Lupica points out today: ... did Cashman tackle Scott Proctor in the old days when Joe Torre was running him out there every day? Cashman said today that he tried to get Torre to stop and actually talked to Proctor about it. The guy has totally lost his filter in public.

1/1 in plays in the outfield so far. Pagan with the catch. 2/2. Pagan again. -
Good choice. I might've gone Breckenridge, though Wynkoop does have an interesting chili pepper beer.

And the next homestand is also Easter week and still April and crappy teams. They have plenty of tiem bfore the SF/LA homestand in May to become a team worth watching.

WTF is going on out there?

Get me Jason Bay. now. I'd even take Jason Pridie at this point. Nick Evans?

Although that's what everyone will be running with, he's not actually saying the Mets need to be 9-2. He's saying that the Mets need to win the games they put themselves in the position to win, by getting that hit and making that pitch. It might not always equate to 9-2 over any given 11 game stretch though.

metirish wrote: Not Big Pelf is under team control for two more years anyway right? I'd not go giving him a contract beyond that until then at least. Yeah, through 2013. So i guess it's conceivable our rotation will be nice and stacked by then and he'd cost more than he'd be worth to us, but it's roughly impossible to project that now.
