The media is saying that Posey (NL starting catcher) wouldn't be able to catch Dickey, so they are waiting to bring in Ruiz (defensively better) and Dickey in the 5th or 6th...total BS move from LaRussa. He is not on my "banned list". :-) :-)

1- Larussa has no business managing as he is retired and has nothing to gain/lose by being there.

2- I personally don't care that our guys aren't starting. I think they both deserve to start, but whatever.

3- I think its pretty crazy the Giants have 4 starters now - and not one of them deserves to start. The fans stuffed the ballot for Melky, Posey and Panda. Current rumor is that the Giants told Tony they didn't want Posey catching Dickey, which earns Cain the starting spot.

If the Giants end up in the WS and the national league loses the all star game, the fans have nobody to blame but themselves.

The Mets are back at it tonight against the Braves with Chris Young on the mound. LETS GO METS!!

Here's hoping for better second half Mets banter!! :-)



:-)



Not really....

Not the way to return after the All Star break...we drop one 7-5 to the Braves. :-) :-)

...As Keith says this, his Phillies are 15.0 games back. :-) :-)

Mets piss another one away today...as the bullpen gives up another one. We lose to the Braves 8-7 and begin the slide downward. :-) :-) :-)

Nah, that stops today! :-)

Mets are giving Santana ZERO support today...just like the beginning of the year. And Torres has had two balls hit over his head...WHY THE F%#K IS HE PLAYING CF???? This is not the way we were supposed to start the break. :-) :-)

And the Mets get swept by the Braves!! :-) :-) :-)

Ben Sheets for Cy Young! :-)

How do you let a guy who hasn't thrown a baseball in the majors for over 2 years, throw 6 innings, of 2 hit, shutout ball, against you?

:-)

The second half of the season has not started off too well.

Thanks, Dom, for the perpetual reminder of a statement that I made when the Yanks swept one of the Mets NL rivals.

Hey Met fans, time to dust off your Jason Bay jersey's.
He's off the DL and back in the lineup tonight. :-)

Dust off? Maybe. But question is, would you have time to get 'em back from the cleaners before he's BACK on the DL? :-)

Thomas, I like to leave them with a little hope in their hearts.
That way, it's far more rewarding when they fail! :-) :-):-)

I hear ya, Dom. But me, I save those sentiments for the Rod Sux. :-)

Hang on Philly...here we come!! F&*^ing bullpen!!! :-) :-) :-)

And Bay...0-3 and gets pinch hit for in the 9th...and Valdespin hits another HR. RELEASE BAY NOW!!!!

Looks like I'll be frequenting Mets banter more often! :-)

Bay must go. He has a ton of heart, but hasn't produced a lick since he joined the Mets.

Also....here we go with the Curse of the All-Star Break.

Last night was the exact reason why I knew not to get emotionally involved with this team. After all the promise they have shown, they are still an very flawed team, and really weren't as good as their record.
