Less than optimal. Give me the ANIMAL in LF, Pagan in RF please.

Sadly anything that has frenchy and blanco and Castillo in it’s lineup will never be optimal.

And that is what is as frustrating as a channel 9 movie. You know you aren’t getting anything for them and you have these kids who are itching for playing time. I know you can’t pull an ollie with everyone, but Frenchy’s played about 5 of the last 6? Seriously.

I don’t quite get Blanco tonight since tomorrow is a night game as well but perhaps the wisdom of this decision will reveal itself later like it always does with a Jerry Manuel lineup.
“That’s a good question, good question. Uhh, I noticed Thole was a little tired and uhh I thought you know that uhh back ups need to play too so Blanco is in there to get some ABs. Good question.”

castillo in the 2 hole, and frenchy in the line up at all, is giving me a headache.
Or it might be that I started drinking at noon today.
Nah, it is the line up.
I want jerry gone so bad.
I also want Castillo to have to leave the game in the 1st inning, so that we can see Hessman playing a MI spot.

Adam Rubin, as always, full of information:
OF Jesus Feliciano demoted to Buffalo;
IF Luis Hernandez recalled from Buffalo;
1st rounder Matt Harvey will be at tonight’s game.

Would have preferred to see Russ Adams over Hernandez. Adams is absolutely on fire right now. Know he’s played second and outfield, but came up as a shortstop and would be fine as a backup there. Hernandez will be just another middle infielder who can’t hit.

Off Topic:
Today’s Francessa show must be the worst show ever. I can literally hear people turning their radios off throughout the tristate.
Then again I am sure some will say they always do once Francessa’s show comes on.

What a lineup. You never know what you’re gonna see Jerry pencil in anymore.
On another note….lI just heard a little while ago that Straus snapped his tendon and is likely looking at TJ surgery. Ouch….what a bad break for the Nats, huh? At least the Mets aren’t the only ones with some bad luck here this year…

Being that I am one of many who moans a lot about Oliver Perez still being on the team I have to say I found this tweet thought provoking:
