Tom: The pitching isn’t all the issue
Tom: The pitching isn’t causing them to have this absurd problem where they are completely unable to win games when they’re down after 6 innings
Mike: You mean besides when the bullpen blows games?
Tom: Yes
Mike: Isn’t that pitching?
Tom: The offense has no resiliency
Tom: Let me ask you this
Tom: You were [...]
Game 66 On 6/13. 666/13. On Friday the 13th. Well, this is great so far.
The Mets can’t seem to manage anything this year. They could very simply make their management situation a non-story by giving Willie a vote of confidence from the top of the organization on down. They refuse, [...]
Until Billy Wagner breaks out of this slump, I’m going to steal some Farker’s idea and refer to him as “Wagne.”
You should get that without thinking too hard.
Mike: I still hold out that this team is more talented than their record belies
Tom: Ollie is not killing them as badly as the bullpen
Mike: which is mainly due to Heilman being a crazy man
Tom: Heilman’s not a crazy man, they’re torturing him
Tom: Jon Heyman is reporting the Mets are going to fire all three coaches
Tom: Peterson, Willie, HoJo
Tom: if the Mets fire all three coaches, I’m done
Mike: Peterson i can see
Tom: I can’t
Tom: Peterson isn’t coaching Billy Wagner
Mike: Peterson is, however, coaching Ollie and Heilman
Mike: and until 2 weeks ago i’d add Pelphrey to that
Tom: Ollie [...]
Ugh.
Metsblog is reporting (and Jon Heyman via Mike and the Mad Dog is confirming) that Omar is considering a change at manager and coaches which is frustrating to no end. Obviously a team that is falling apart at the seams because no one can hit and the bullpen can’t get the job done should [...]
For whatever reason, it seems like a few in the media have wanted to know why Santana didn’t go out for the 8th inning yesterday. Not only is the question stupid, it’s irrelevant.
If you can’t trust your bullpen, which includes your $10 million/year closer, to get six outs before giving up 4 runs — [...]
It was pointed out to me in an IM conversation to be posted later that I am being way too negative. It was mentioned that I can’t call out the Met fan base for being overly negative while myself being overly negative. It’s almost like as soon as I proclaimed myself a member [...]
After last night’s game I mentioned to my friend that, had they lost, I was thinking about shutting it down for the season. I don’t know if I actually would have, but the thought did cross my mind. I mean, if I can get more joy out of my Netflix queue, it seems [...]
The Mets are 30-33, 7.5 games behind the Phillies, 7.5 behind the Cardinals. This is game 2 of a three game set with the Diamondbacks. They are down 0-1.

1) Gary makes the point that it’s crazy how Brandon Webb is only 3-6 against the Mets when he’s pitched to a 2.58 ERA against [...]
