]With Sean Casey assigned to the disabled list and Joe Randa hurting, the greatest threat to Glavine, based on statistical history, is Jason Bay. But Bay has a small sampling against Glavine - three hits, including a home run last season, in eight at-bats. Casey and Randa have batted .415 in 41 collective at-bats against Glavine.

Hey jagoff, the blown save to San Fran a) gets blamed on Wrightb) was not Billy's fault but Barry's skill.[url]http://www.nypost.com/sports/mets/68029.htm[/url]]May 4, 2006 -- MAYBE it's a bit premature to start calling him Braden Wagner, but it is time to be concerned about Billy Wagner. Billy the Kid blew a doozy of a save against the Pirates last night, flushing a Pedro Martinez' gem down the toilet that is Shea Stadium. This was Wagner's third blown save as a Met, and a most painful one for the fans who sat through the rain in the hopes of watching Pedro go to 6-0. Instead, Martinez wound up with a no-decision. The Mets won the game in dramatic fashion, 4-3, on Carlos Delgado's 12th-inning home run. That is what Delgado was brought here to do, hit big home runs. The blast to the bleachers was the fourth walk-off home run of his career. Wagner, whose last blown save came as a result of a Barry Bonds home run, was purchased to save games, not blow them.

You may not be fascinated with him, but your girlfriend is.

Shouldn't it be 121 or bust?

I avi'd it.

Never mind.

Without checking stats, heck no. Atlanta looks better.

Philly is a decent team.

Right now I'm kinda glad that we signed Glavine for four years.

At least they had the red car thing in LA. Or at least that's what I learned from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.

Longest Met losing streak of the year: 2.

]I'd rather have Petey face Atlanta than the Phillies. Divison game = division game. Until the Braves make a run at least. The Phillies are a better team than they are showing thus far. On Edit: Actually they've won 4 in a row and are almost .500. One more and they'll be the only non-Met NL East team with a .500 record.

The Jazz was a good singular nickname....until the team moved to Utah. I don't have a problem with most of those, if they make sense with the city. It's hot in Miami. The Magic Kingdom is in Orlando.

He'd get an extra day off with the off day on Monday, and I'd rather have Petey face Atlanta than the Phillies. Now, Petey's struggled on short rest in the past, but he only threw 77 here. I guess we'll see what happens. I agree with CF. Do not f--- around with Pedro. Rotation: Glavine, Traxxx, Bannister, Zambrano, Maine

Chavez is small.

Martinez 3 Chavez 3 Delgado 1.5 Heilman 1 Bradford 1 Sanchez 0.5

What the....? The rest of the blog ]FLUSHING (FAFIF) -- Mike O'Connor didn't feign surprise at his success versus the New York Mets Tuesday night. "The Mets?" the celebrated lefty asked after accepting congratulations from his Washington teammates. "Never heard of 'em." When told that in fact the Mets had been in the National League since 1962 and have been leading its eastern division by a wide margin most of the year, the 25-year-old pitcher just shook his head. "Nah," he said. "Doesn't ring a bell." O'Connor swore he meant no disrespect to those who provided the nominal competition in his second Major League start: "Listen, you face teams all the time. Sometimes they're familiar, sometimes they aren't. Tonight was the first time I've ever seen the Nets." Reminded that the Nets are a basketball team leading the Indiana Pacers in the NBA playoffs, O'Connor quickly corrected himself: "My bad. I meant, uh...I'm sorry, what's their name again?" This has to be a joke right? These are made up quotes, right?I mean, he knows the names of all the teams?

Who was even around for the Piazza beaning? Traxxxx?

I hated Hershiser for a long time. But he never threw at my boy's head.
