They just don't match up AT ALL vs these teams, the margin for error for the pitching is very small (ie Santana losing 2-0).

We were JUST starting to play to our potential with a 19-9 May before Reyes and everyone else under the sun went down at the end of May.

I don't think this team will recover this season, it's pretty much a done deal.

Manuel is frustrated because he's a mediocre manager who doesn't know how to get the most of his teams as a whole.

At this point I'd take Art Howe back.

So I am here watching bp and here comes Donald trump

no pics cause I am in the cheap seats like always

Ollie is throwing in the outfield now that the dodgers ended bp

he looks good right now he did gain a little weight it looks like

Hope it is 6 rather than 4 mez

that's why I think 3 is fair number. Lol

 

[phil le0tard0]

finally some offense

 

[mez 0ne]

Now that ollie has "somewhat" settled in a bit, now lets see if the Mets can actually hold this lead.

Its been a while since they had a lead to hold.

 

[mez 0ne]

6 walks and counting, but he has a quality slider tonight.

Has he even throw a single changeup yet? I saw maybe one splitter.

(SMH...I can't edit posts from this computer).

What a pathetic strike 3 call on Evans with the bases loaded, pitch was up and off the plate.

 

[shuges]

Sweet play Murph.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Murph

 

[mez 0ne]

Weathers walking a .220 hitter to face Victorino in the 9th, good job.

Reed has been hot lately, that means its time to sit him Jerry.

 

[shuges]

Good win.

I'm happy tonight.

 

[mez 0ne]

Maine needs to come back soon.

I know Wolf is brutal vs lefties but at least start Murphy today.

Castillo, 2b
Evans, lf
Wright, 3b
Sheffield, rf
Tatis, 1b
Church, cf
Santos, c
Cora, ss
Hernandez, rhp

Anyone but Tatis.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

God I hate Tatis.

 

[j steezzz]

According to Candela Deportiva, free agent RHP Pedro Martinez has signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Phillies.

…now that this is out there, it usually only takes a matter of time for the likes of Ken Rosenthal, Buster Olney, Jon Heyman, etc., to either confirm or denythe report…

…but, from what i can gather, the Phillies are dishing out no comments, suggesting there might be truth to this, and they're just waiting to make anannouncement…

 

[mez 0ne]

pedro is a 4-5 inning pitcher he'll get rocked in CBP.

Oh......Tatis is 2 for 28 vs Wolf.....this makes a LOT of sense Jerry.

Murphy is hitting over .300 vs lefties.

 

[shuges]

Livan is looking like the Livan I thought we'd be getting when I first heard of the signing.

 

[briannnnn]

Took a look at the score earlier...

Before Tatis had that deep flyout earlier, I was hoping he could've tied the game up.

6-2 now. Hope the Mets can keep chipping away...

 

[mez 0ne]

Considering Ollie and Livan pitched this series, winning 1 is fine with me.

Can't really expect much else, maybe they'll play well vs Cincy.
