After spending 83 hours at theme parks in only 7 days I’m finally back at the helm of a computer, with access to all the yummy Mets goodies I’ve missed over the past week. Let’s see…
-The Mets went 4-5, which isn’t terrible all things considered. However, it seemed like every time I checked the score on ESPN at night from my hotel room they had lost…
-On the flip side, the Amazin’s lost a series to my “hometown” Nationals. Luckily I was out of town, or I probably would have been at 2 of the 3 games. Oy!
-Turning to more optimism, my Metsies won the last two games over the weekend while scoring 18 runs! That’s about as many as they typically score in 10 games.
-Tony Bernazard challenged a player to a fight and had an altercation with KRod…and therefore is an ***hole and no one likes him. Nothing new on that front.
-Gary Sheffield proclaimed “I’m healthy!” and was immediately placed on the DL. WTF?
-But Jon Niese was called up to the bigs in his place and pitched an excellent game against the Astros.
-Matt Holliday was traded to the Cards…what a boost to their lineup! The NL Central should be a fun division in the second half.
And now onto the weather:
Mets vs Rockies
CitiField at 7:10pm
Temperature: 81°F
Mostly Cloudy, 30% chance of showers/thunderstorms
Wind from the southwest, 9-12mph.
Down the road…
CitiField; Tuesday, 7:10pm – 81°F [Partly Cloudy, slight chance of thunderstorms]
CitiField; Wednesday, 7:10pm – 80°F [Mostly Cloudy, chance of thunderstorms]

Are you kidding? All your going to get is one of the following:
“Prismo went to Florida and all I got was this freakin shirt”

Hope you had a great time!
This one line item about sums up this season:
‘Gary Sheffield proclaimed “I’m healthy!†and was immediately placed on the DL.’
Meanwhile, Reyes, Beltran, Putz and to a lesser extent Delgado, who were clearly injured, took a month of Sundays to reach the DL.
Now, we probably all know this was more about trying to keep Berroa (trying to get closer to a Reyes citing and then no need for a back up to the back up) and Redding (considering you don’t know what you’re going to get from Ollie)….but it just smacks to me of more of a strategy thing than the health of our players being top priority. And really – if we need either Berroa or Redding on this team to win games, we’re in deeper trouble than we thought.

Read where Vernon Wells doesn’t
think Doc Halladay will be traded.
Hey Vern,how’bout you keep quiet and
stay in the background. OR you give
back some of that money you’re stealing from the Jays so that they
might be able to afford keeping him.

I want to watch the conference, but at the same time, I dont want to get all confuzzeld by Minaya. The man should not do any sort of public speaking, he is terrible at it. I felt like a hostage during that game in DC having to listen to that interview….
