Who expected a huge crowd anyway?

12000 is San Juan-like. better than two years ago on a Tuesday :confused

 

The whole team is slumping right now. No one complained when the marlins were winning a ton of games. Something needs to be done. Maybe completely messing with the lineup like the other night. They are getting the hits most of the time, just cannot bring them in. Need them to step up and get those hits

They are getting the hits most of the time, just cannot bring them in. Need them to step up and get those hits Look at the batting averages. Lowell and Pierre have hit all year. Cabrera has cooled off. Castillo is trying to get his finger healthy. Conine, Choi, Castro, Gonzo have been MIA all year. So don't say they are hitting but not driving in runs. They aren't doing much of anything. Team is in deep trouble. This isn't a one week slump. Take away the Colorado/SF trip, they haven't hit period all year. Why do you think that will dramatically improve?

I'd say Choi was hitting quite well.

Face it guys, the Mets are coming to get you. We have Floyd back, Phillips is hitting, Reyes will come back, Leiter is back, and we're clutch and ready to strike.

 

We are one huge mid season trade away from running away with this division. Beware of the Mets, we're on a rampage. :thumbup :thumbup :thumbup

Choi hit some home runs. He was never hitting quite well. He showed power, and pitchers quickly adjusted. He hasn't done anything in a month. He hit his first double yesterday. Not exactly a productive guy.

Floyd will get hurt again.

 

 

Leiter is already there.

 

 

 

the Mutts are overachieving plain and simple.

 

 

 

I dont expect that to last into the summer though.

The Mets are NOT bad, though I expect Philly to do better.

As someone mentioned before, this team is playing really bad baseball. Only a couple hitters are consistant in the lineup and that wont get it done. Something seriously needs to be done to wake this team up. Cause its no fun watching your team play like crap every night, and watching a team like the phils work their way up on us is just BLAH!

 

IMO is the offense needs to pick up the pace. i honestly believe that our pitchers dont have faith in our O so they have more pressure put on them to pitch a near perfect game every night, and Oliver well hes Oliver we dont expect much from him. Our offense just needs to wake up and our pitchers should cruise along nicely.

you fix the offense=you fix the pitching. the pitchers won't think they need to get every pitch

you think the pitchers don't realize if they give up more than a few runs the game is lost? They know that more than anyone. This team is lacking severely offensively.

The Mets have one of the 5 most inept (sp?) organizations in baseball.

 

Even when it looked like they were finally getting it right last year by going and playing young talent, then go out and spend a trillion dollars on the much overrated Mike Cameron and go spend a ton on Kaz Matsui when they already have Jose Reyes, who will be truly awesome once healthy.

 

The Mets still have a lot of overpaid, old, oft injured old players. If the Mets win more than 75 games this year, I would be shocked.

 

Oh, and they need to trade Al Leiter ASAP.

and as poorly as you say the Mets are, they are capable of scoring more than three runs a game.

Same could be said for the Rockies for the last several years, and where has it taken them?

 

Nowhere.

um...when did Admin say that ignore option would be available?

*agrees*

Choi has every chance in the world. How is McKeon mishandling Choi? McKeon sits Choi vs a righty after the guys strikeouts out 6 straight times. Cordero is a proven hitter, Choi isn't. You never want to give Cordero a shot? As for mishandling the bullpen, what a laugh. What bullpen? Not getting the most out of Justin Wayne? Look at the Astros pen. They have four or five guys bringing it 93-95. Marlins have Benitez in the pen and that's it. They don't even have quality arms? Is Nate Bump better than Brad Lidge? If it wasn't for McKeon, this team is 4 games under, not 4 over.

You are so wrong. McKeon has regularly benched guys the day after they had two hits or a home run.

And we should award Mike Mordecai with a start at catcher because he's a proven veteran? Veterans are not always better ballplayers. Cordero is a medicore hitter, and even worse against righthanders.

Every team has bad middle relief! It's the manager's responsibility to use the guys he has in the best wa. McKeon has regularly left the 'pen tired and overexposed.
