It was at that time of the game that I was asking myself: have we scored our aruns for the night. As for the pitching, he cannot keep doing this. If I were he, I would rather lose with Parnell than Heilman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-45875249077469531072008-09-17T21:47:00.000+01:002008-09-17T21:47:00.000+01:00I feel like the poor hitting and the devastating l...I feel like the poor hitting and the devastating losses have become a sort of vicious cycle, where the guys are sort of freaked out, and paralyzed. <BR/><BR/>Can't Jerry figure SOMETHING out?katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757578559952821218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-82080829970243486802008-09-17T18:35:00.000+01:002008-09-17T18:35:00.000+01:00as far as I am concerned, we are tied for first. ...as far as I am concerned, we are tied for first. Until you are down in the loss column....then you cannot get the game back. Having said that, I fear our big boppers are on the merry-go-round to nowhere. Oh...and we cannot let Pedro start agiain. Niese should go ahead of him. Everyone talks about how the phillies came on strong last year and this year. The Phillies play well in September EVERY YEAR, evern when they finish 10 out. That is nothing special, unless the team in fron of you is softer than a 2 minute egg. The Phillies showed how tough they were when the Rockies pulled their pants down in front of the home fans the first two games of the playoffs. I do not want to hear about the Phillies. Win your games. Don't get behind in the loss column. That's all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-81923547157001601072008-09-17T18:17:00.000+01:002008-09-17T18:17:00.000+01:00IMFM, menstral cramps in the batting order, brill....IMFM, menstral cramps in the batting order, brill. agree with you and jdon, Murph has good plate discipline whilst the meat of the order is starting to press, swinging wildly, not waiting for the right pitches. Beltran...disappearing fast off the radar. but hey, tonight's another night to hope. we ent toast just yet...Jaaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14918548497554962346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-3908980871567416382008-09-17T16:18:00.000+01:002008-09-17T16:18:00.000+01:00also, that pic of Reyes' face says it all. Really....also, that pic of Reyes' face says it all. Really.<BR/><BR/>Following jdon's apt description, the Mets 1, 3,4 ,5 hitters tend to have their ice cold streaks, like menstrual cycles, match up. The offense needs another piece, this time a blue chip. Oh like Manny Ramirez who could have been gotten for Milledge a few years back, or maybe even gotten recently when the Sawx gave him away.<BR/><BR/>I agree Murph needs to be in there, spelled only occasionally by Chavez and that other little AAA squirt. Murph always seems to have calm productive at-bats, unlike David Wright.I.M.

He does not just hit--he WALKS. lefties for the most part don't bother him because he goes the other wyay. Our 3-4-5 hitters don't realize this, but we need base runners and SINGLES. Delgado swings at everything, Beltran swings at nothing and Wright misses what he swings at. This is Games 6 and 7 2006 all over again, why I said a long time ago that I did not like this offense. If Church would start hitting and they put Murph in there, maybe it would get a lot busier. Good job by Pelfrey, whose arm must be hanging off by now. And while I will admit that Perez was throwing well (for Perez), he is a guy we have always owned. Teams know we are soft, they smell blood. Thank God the Brewers are softer than we are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9457776.post-82709199740842171932008-09-17T08:07:00.000+01:002008-09-17T08:07:00.000+01:00if only the mets had a guy like anderson hernandez...if only the mets had a guy like anderson hernandez.<BR/><BR/>tatis did a nice job this season...right up until he foolishly dove on his stupid ass and gave the game to the nationals on a pitcher's hit.I.M.
