Mlb_jun_22_ca02
The Mets did the smart thing by placing David Wright on the disabled list. After the fiasco that occurred with Ryan Church, the only responsible course of action was to use precautions. As I said last night, I'd rather Wright take the rest of the year off, if it means he'll...

Injuries Are Not The Only Thing Wrong With This Club

Mlb_may_18_8ee3
Ryan Church will never be more than a marginal player for the following reasons: His swing is too long; it starts in Flushing and ends in Corona. Number Two: He has a low baseball IQ. Case in point, during a tilt of the Subway Series, and a runner in scoring position with one out, he [...]

Same song differnet day

Sorry if you were hoping for a positive recap of tonight's game, I don't have one for you, in fact I'm pretty disappointed with this team and probably fall into the doom and gloom category. Again this blog is a fan's point of view and this is mine, there isn't going...

Doesn’t Believe in Church?

Mlb_may_18_8ee3
With a man on first and one out in the second, Ryan Church just bunted, moving the runner to second. The broadcasters thought he was trying to bunt for a hit, but I’m not sure. He didn’t square around, but he sure deadened the ball. Whoever decided to bunt there, Church or [...]

Church Holds Key to Mets Offense

The Mets desperately needed Manny, and Manny at least needed them to compete for his services. Both sides will go unfulfilled in this winter’s “Manny Mania”. Now that it’s clear that the Manny dream is over, what do we make of the 2009 Mets on offense? It&rsquo...

Francesa Rips Wright and Church After They Snub Him

"Wright is not a clutch player, he can't handle pressure, maybe the Mets should have thought about breaking up the core; Reyes, Wright and Beltran. Wright won't make it in New York because he can't handle the pressure, and he is very immature."

LOL!

Mlb_may_18_8ee3
Because after Ryan Church misses third base on the go-ahead run in the 11th, and two errors in the bottom of the frame (one of which came on the double play ball that would have unbelievably gotten the game to the 12th) gives the Dodgers the game, what the hell else is there to do...
