Remember the week we won 7 in a row? Well, forget it.
We're giving it all back.
As we've seen before, the Mets play streaky baseball. Think of it as a see-saw; sometimes we go up and sometimes we go down. And at this rate we're going to fall off.
We have.
No longer are we in first place: the Phillies won in Cincinnati...the Mets lost in L.A. Adding injury to insult (in this case it's not "adding insult to injury") - Carlos Delgado will be out for 10 weeks as he recuperates from hip surgery. Can it get any worse? Yeah... Brian Schneider can come back.

The Mets seem to say that they want Daniel Murphy at first base at some point in the future. Uh, wasn't tonight's game the perfect game to give him the 1st base start? Didn't Jeremy Reed make an awful throwing error the night before from 1st base? Why oh why do I not understand the things you do, Mets Management?
As Matthew Cerrone wrote, "Look, it’s nothing against Jeremy Reed, but he’s seemingly most valuable as a defensive outfielder and a pinch hitter. If Manuel must get Reed’s bat in the starting lineup, play him in left field where he will look like a Gold Glove defender. In this current scenario, you’re weak on defense in two spots." Agreed.
Oh, and Murphy had a rough first inning. He got picked off of first, when, for some reason, he broke for second before Chad Billingsley even began his motion to the plate. Then, on defense, a few moments later, he misplayed a line drive right at him that deflected off his glove – you know the play, you’ve seen it before. The runner later scored on a single up the middle.
Stellar.

Would you say that this team pitches better when Castro/Santos are behind the plate, as opposed to Brian Schneider? I do also and I have the numbers to prove it. More on this coming later...

For the record, sir, it's amateur-hour clown shoes to firebomb MetsBlog comment boards with criticism and complaining when you're trying to plug your own blog. Even when MetsBlog is a joke for shutting down the comments during the game tonight.
For the record, sir, I was bombing MetsBlog comment boards with criticism about their comment board and that was my intention going in. The plug only came afterwards so you can tell (or choose to believe me) that the plugging of the site came thereafter.
You can also thank me for having a place to post a comment. I don't think you can get that opportunity on another famous Mets Blog....
Ouch, Anonymous.
Test.
HEY I LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE PLACE!!
Why thank you :-)
Stay awhile.
come out of your hiding place mr. anonymous!!
nobody talks to my elifrombrooklyn like that!!!
what do you make of this fued??
Senseless. Pointless. Metsblog.com turned off their comment board because we made a big fuss and ranted and raved on their comments board how frustrating it is, commented off topic and just spoke about nonsense.
Semi-Passive-Resistance is the way to go.
It suits Cerrone. He never responded to anyone publicly about the situation. People who comment are the bread and butter of the site. Without them, why post for more than a few months? One would lose the drive.
For now, Cerrone has lost the keys. A.K.A. - Us.
wow im glad you got that out (i was talking about chuch and manuel)
I don't get it.
Church is a solid fielder who can hit. Manuel dislikes him and I fail to know why exactly. He has his downsides but I'll keep him in right field. Imagine having Milledge (who they traded away for Church and Schneider)?
Manuel says there is no love loss between 'em. According to Francesa, Manuel dislikes Frank Thomas while with the White Sox. He never came out with that piece of knowledge until years after leaving the White Sox.
Expect in 2013 (or sooner) that Manuel says "oh, yeah, Me and the Church didn't really click together."
Thanks, Jerry... we didn't realize.
well we all know about the fued between miked up and ryan up! so i cant expect mike to know what hes talking about.
i keep spelling feud wrong sorry
Francesa has fought with Church, Wright and Manuel (last week). Gosh... it's like he's got an ego or something.
