Don't worry its OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK



Ok, I’m not just pilling on David Wright ... But with Brad Emaus out of the organization and Angel Pagan playing his most usual position (DL), Wright is currently my scapegoat . Assuming he is not traded this year, David Wright will take over yet another All-Time Mets record. He is 124 strike outs away from breaking Darryl Strawberry’s all time Mets record with 960 strike outs. So far through 34 games he has 37 strike outs, with 128 games to go 124 is well within reach.

A hole on the left side of the infield

















I wonder if we Mets fans are appreciating Jose Reyes more and more, because we know he will soon be gone? Perhaps its just his one final  gift for his fans, but he is just unconscious out there. He is a triples machine.

Can someone tell Sandy Alderson, that they built Citifield for Jose Reyes? That enormous outfield, those deep gaps? Its for Reyes to line doubles and triples.

I know I’m not the first to say this but, how about we trade David Wright. He is going to command more money than Reyes will after next season. And he is much more easily replaced. Daniel Murphy could play third.  I like our lineup better with Murphy replacing Wright much much better than Ruben Tejada replacing Reyes in the line up. I’m just saying. Ughhh just add-on whomever they are going to run out there in right field to replace Carlos Beltran.



RANDOM THOUGHTS: 


The LA Dodgers (despite last nights win) have a terrible record at Citifield, ironic since it is a shrine to their franchises history.

Was R.A. Dickey a fluke? Just like Angel Pagan. He sure is pitching that way.

I wish there was a way for Terry Collins to juggle the rotation so Mike Pelfrey only pitches at home.

Two years from now people we Mets fans will really begin to appreciate how good Carlos Beltran really was.

Fact vs Perception --- mmm cheesy

Dave Racaniello


Perception - Bullpen catchers are useless and a dime a dozen

Fact - Met's bullpen catcher Dave Racaniello set a visitors clubhouse record in Philadelphia when the Mets were visiting the Phillies over the weekend, by eating 14 cheesesteaks during the three game series. Who knows how many he would have eaten if Sunday's game went longer than 14 innings!  

BONUS Fact - Cheesesteaks are awesome!

Fake Fact - Juan Samuel set the single season in 1985 by eating 280 cheesesteaks.

JOSE JOSE JOSE!


You know if he was actually out he would have been tossed from the game. Chip Hale looks like if he weren't holding Jose back that he'd be hitting the ump with his helmet about the head and shoulders. This is the kind of emotional breakout that the team needs. Reyes was furious because all he wants to do is win. So lets get the sweep of the Nats done today and on to victory 392 against the Phillies on Friday night.

Oh with last nights win the Mets are out of last place in the NL east.
