...And Wright isn't.

He'll come around.

I love this kid Maine.

I don't think people are complaining about the Benson trade anymore.

Well, maybe the Anna part of it!

True.

And with him on the DL Anna has been absent too. The grounds keeping crew have never looked so pissed.

Beth -

Does she get a lot of press down there?

She did when he first got here last year. But I guess since he's on the dl she's not getting much PR herself. I honestly don't know what she does here or where they live. Orioles players in general don't get much press here either, unless their name is Cal Ripken. But then again, when anything Orioles comes on the news I usually switch the channel.

Worst career move since Shelley Long left CHEERS.

Shelley who ?

Exactly.

What a finish

I was about to whine about getting shutout by a garbage pitcher, and before I could hit "submit", they get the HR to tie it.

This was a big win for them. Not so much in the standings, but more so because they haven't really played many close games this year and this kind of win now shows that they can win the close ones as well as the blowouts.

What a bunt by Chavez!

I'm going to Modell's this afternoon. Chavez jersey.

En-dy!!

En-dy!!

Can't win em all!

Losing 2 straight. What's bothersome is that they lose two straight to two lowly teams. They need to beat up on these kinds of teams.

I have no idea what Willie was thinking letting Oliver Perez hit for himself with the bases loaded and only 1 out. My best guess is that he figured that eventually his team would score some runs either way. He was wrong.

I was second guessing that move too. Their bullpen was rested. I couldn't believe Perez was allowed to hit.

Ahh. Since taking over the Mets Willie's made some brilliant moves and decisions that have won some games for them. So I'll give Willie a pass on this one. He sure looked brilliant having Endy Chavez playing in left feild in last years playoff game, and inserting him in the other night in the extra innings win. It wasn't really a terrible decision letting Perez bat. Perez is a good hitting pitcher who can hit a fly ball, and his pitch count was not that high at that point.

The "Old Man" comes through! And Chavez scores the tying run!


....OH MAN! Reyes gets robbed! Damn!

That 1B ump needs some serious glasses.

John Maine:

Record: 4-0

ERA: 1.35

Walks to strikeouts ratio: 17/30

Whatever happened to Anna Benson ?

That might be the best Mets' trade since Ed Hearn for David Cone.

What about Nolan Ryan for Jim Fregosi ?

That's one that thankfully I was too young to remember.

Tom Seaver for Pat Zachary ?

Unfortunately, I remember that one.

Doug Flynn, Steve Henderson and another pitcher were also thrown in by the Reds.

Don't forget Lenny Dykstra and Roger McDowell for Juan Samuel

Jim Fregosi, "the thirdbaseman of the decade!"

Nolan Ryan, "too wild, has no control."




One of the best trades in Mets history has to be Neil Allen for Keith Hernandez!

Definitely!
