Kevin Burkhardt of SNY just tweeted the following,
“Jerry Manuel said Jose Reyes playing in Florida State League opener tonight. If all goes well, he’s starting here Sat.“
If you want to listen to the game that starts at 7:05pm just click on this link that I already posted in an earlier post and remember to select the Jupiter Hammerheads audio feed.

Is it me or has it become way more quiet around here lately?

I can think of three letters that would explain that…..

Really would like to see a good pitching performance from Niese tonight. Would love to believe in this team, I really would. In order to do so, someone other than Johan has to deliver a solid performance. Let’s hope it’s Niese tonight and the Mets can take the season-opening series.

Totally agree.
We need pitching and we need it badly.
I would even take a meager quality start of 6 IP, 3 ER.

well, if the Mets get that from every start from the 2-5 guys, they will probably cruise to the division title.

and don’t pull a Jerry. At least let the last 3 guys get a turn before you throw them under the bus.

Unrelated, I just got finished watching the Nats broadcast of the bottom of the 6th of the Phils-Nats game. Brian Schneider in at catcher, has allowed 4 of 4 stolen base attempts by the Nats. Nelson Figueroa came on for the Phils and the Nats announcers laid into him hard. Things along the lines of “the Phillies, with 3 guys on the DL, must be really desperate for pitching” and “there’s a reason this guy was just released, no need to swing early in the count (as he walked Willie Harris)” and “I remember when he pitched a terrible game against the Nats at Shea a couple years ago, whining about bloopers falling in but not mentioning how he walked a bunch of guys, and complaining about the Nats bench jockeying.”

Figs retired the side, though. Think he would have been a better option than Green, but that ship has sailed. And for Nats announcers to lay into anybody is pretty funny, considering how consistently crappy that franchise is and the endless parade of crappers they put on the mound.
GravediggerHebner

Yeah, he retired the side. He’s also walked 2 guys, including the lead off batter in the 7th inning of a tie game, and as I type this just gave up the go ahead run on an RBI single. Of course it was a bloop that fell just inside the foul line, just in front of Werth, so I’m sure he’ll note that in the post game press conference. Now he’s walking Dunn intentionally to face Willingham, so that’s 3 walks in 1 2/3. Got Will to pop up, inning over, Nats lead 6-5.

It was a bloop double, wasn’t it? I know Figs isn’t very good. The point is, I don’t think half the Mets’ pen is very good, either.

I agree with you on your assessment of Figs and on your assessment of our bullpen. I guess where we will agree to disagree is on the merit of keeping Figs.

If it meant sending Mejia to AA to work as a starter, then the team could have kept Doug Sisk for all I care. The Mets have a horrible pitching staff, yet put their best starting pitching prospect in the pen? Ludicrous.

Also something we agree on. We’re like 3 for 4, that’s Hall of Fame type agreement

of course on Mejia, but if shipping green to AAA meant keeping figs for mop up duty,, then it would have been fine by me.

Doug Sisk was infinitely better than the AWFUL whining bee-atch loser Nelson Figueora is or will ever be.

and he just walked the immortal alberto gonzolez (aka “the other A gon”) to lead off the 7th.
Maybe I should stop making fun of the Nats offense. they have scored some runs on the phils. They just dont do a good job preventing them!

Nice Kong. Bite the hand that feeds you (metaphorically speaking of course)!
Asod, I actually think Neise will do fine. I was a little concerned about him being 100% physically, but I guess he was fine in ST, otherwise I hope the FO would not have him onthe club. Stuff wise, I think he was ready when he came up for his 2nd stint last year.
Will it be perfect? Not likely, but I think he will be able to hold his own, and occasionally throw a gem.
Just hope for something reasonably close to what Happ did last year for the Phils. If they get that, it wil lbe a huge lift.
and for the rest of the MOP heads, I expect Ollie to settle inand do OK, and Pelf to actually look more like the last ST start pelf. For him, a strong 1st game against the nats (a wonderful team to get your 1st start against!) will be a big mental boost (and that is what he has to overcome IMO).
Maine still worries me, until I see him get a little life back on the FB, and some crispness/control with the rest of his pitches. I am not a pitching coach, but it just looks like his motion or mechanics aren’t right. Too bad the Mets don’t have one to fix him up, right? Sorry, had to go there.

Warthen is absolutely worthless. Bobby Ojeda for pitching coach….
stickguy
4/8/2010-6:52pm at 6:52 pm (UTC -4)
I have a hard time figuring out what he brings to the table. Not exactly a lot of guys stepping up their game on his watch.
From what I remember reading, wasn’t Ojeda pretty well regarded when he was working in the system (what was he, a roving guy?) He certainly thinks he knows it all, based on his studio work!

who the hell is managing the Nats? Jerry’s idiot brother? bottom 7, tie game, against the highest scoring offense in the NL. Lead off PH walks against Nelson Figgy.
Big inning coming, right?
Nope. Idjit has his lead off man sacrifice him over to 2nd. Playing for 1 run, with a speed guy at bat (and now not going to be on base).
Like 1 run is going to be enough against the phils with 2 innings to go.
Loser play. AKA a Jerry special.
Guess it worked, since zimmerman just doubled the guy in with 2 outs.
And who said Figgy wasn’t going to help the mets this year!
