Asleep At Mets

Calling the Mets on the carpet for the stupid things they do.

With Fernando Tatis out for at least the rest of the regular season I believe the Mets could recall Trot Nixon, if they decided they needed another bench player.

Ben Sheets’ ailing right elbow forced him out of the game long before Milwaukee ended its losing streak.

They gave away another game to the Phillies, 5-3, yesterday at a sold-out Shea before 55,477 booing fans as the bullpen once again imploded and the base-running was atrocious.

I hate to sound negative when the Mets win a must win game and there were so many good things about tonight’s game but it just shouldn’t be this difficult.

NEW YORK Alex Rodriguez became the first player with 35 homers and 100 RBIs in 12 seasons one more than Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees slowed the Chicago White Sox’s pursuit of the AL Central crown with a 5-1 victory Wednesday night….

Anyway, check out Bill nodding off at a baseball game.

Despite coming back to Earth most blamed that on lack or playing time and stilled viewed them as the hot streak level player which simply isn’t the case.

The Yankees and the Mets have said little, if anything, about their plans to say farewell to their old stadiums.

I would like to flag this content as inappropriate.

Having had over 30 scoreless innings to close out his AAA season, Collazo made a positive impact almost immediately.

Carlos Beltran had a two homer night and is hitting.357 with 13 RBIs and 5 HRs in Sept. Delgado was right behind Beltran although he didn’t hit any homers he went 2-4 with two RBIs.

It’s still unclear if the injury will sideline him during the Brewers’ push for a playoff spot….

PITTSBURGH Adam LaRoche hit a grand slam among his two homers and the Pittsburgh Pirates stalled the Los Angeles Dodgers’ late-season surge with an eight-run seventh inning rally that keyed a 15-8 victory Wednesday night….

At the request of the Mets, San Diego and Major League Baseball agreed to move up the first game to allow Tuesday to be an off-day in the middle of the three-game series.

Reyes was out easily, making the third out at third, a baseball sin.

While all is gloom and doom in New York ball parks, there is one constant in baseball: Joe Torre is going to the post-season.

Jose Reyes inexplicably tried to steal third with two outs in the sixth and a runner on first with the hot-hitting Wright at the plate.

The victory moved Tampa Bay two games in front of Boston in the division….

The combo of Reyes squared to Delgado made several sharply played double plays….

Veteran players are often given the choice of being released or placed on the 60 day when room is needed on the roster, late in seasons they general choose the DL because they cont.

In his third start back following shoulder surgery, Pedro was magnificent, tossing six innings, striking out nine while not walking a batter.

Knight looked to be out of gas in the fourth but the Nats let him off the hook with a bone headed base running play, I didn’t think he had a chance in the fifth but gutted it out to finish the inning.

Randolph allowed Pedro Feliciano to start the eighth, even though, Jorge Sosa was ready to go and Feliciano had allowed an unearned run the previous inning.

‘ Citi Field opener will be Monday, April 13, a day earlier than originally planned, and the new ballpark will open with a night game.

Only three hits, but none of them timely.

Prior to the end of the minor league season Nixon was hitting.293, with 4 HRs, 1 double and 14 RBIs in ten games for New Orleans.

The Tampa Bay Rays are making believers out of the Boston Red Sox.

Think of the hundreds of players that have played for the Yankees.
