Mets Lets Go 2015
Well Mets fans I can’t add much to what Sausy so elegantly wrote about the Games on Wednesday and Thursday. I thank him for that.
Just a few thoughts
I thought that incredible broken bat play from Santana was the start of something big, maybe a repeat of the black cat incident, maybe “bat cat”
Santana was brilliant.
Ollie Perez who continues to go out there unfocussed, and what the Hell is up with those walks? I’ll tell you, next year I want rid of him, I can’t stand to look at that look of hopelessness on that face any more. Ollie and Pedro must not be back. I love Pedro but his glory days are clearly over and he must move on. Of course I also want a stronger pen, get rid of Sanchez and Hellman for starters and rebuild from there. Looks like Omar will get four more years and he had better pay a lot of attention to the pitching both starting and most importantly relief.
Looks like, although he wants to, Jerry Manual had all but decided not to allow Maine to pitch this season. He worries about the kid hearting himself. Although the doctors have said the spur would not cause Johnny any additional injury, Manual does not to risk it. I dono, if the docs say he can pitch I say let him go out there and pitch one batter a time in relief. It is not the same as it was with Church who came back to soon. Manes injury is totally different and I think he should be able to help us out in the pen. So we will see what ends up happen.
D Wright may take that strike out to his grave; it will be a while before we get over that one. He was doing better, shortening his stroke and not chasing balls. But he is back doing that again, swinging at balls clearly out of the strike zone and just trying to hard. He needs to relax.
Leaving bases loaded in both the 8th and 9th innings is just unforgivable, my God; we have got to get the runners home.
Last night was an absolute thriller. What a game! Fun to watch and well executed. One of the Highlights for me was the Ryan Church slide, damn, that was great, and I hope you all got to see that.
The low light was poor Daniel Murphy, what was he thinking bunting with two outs? Clearly there was some miscommunication cause the bunt was taken off after the first strike. Poor kid I felt really bad for him, he looked really bad bunting, totally dazed and confused and then to add insult to injury he pops up the bunt attempt for strike three. Yikes! Poor baby, he usually looks so good at the plate, always in control having intelligent at bats. He looked really bad at that at bat, except of course for his rockin ass. Opps did I say that out loud .
Pedro went into the seventh (whodda guessed he would do that?) He had his usual shaky start in the first with his change which was up but then settled down. All in all not a terrible outing. Of course we have to keep in mind he faced an irregular team of Cubs. If the A team was out there the outcome might have been different. Joe Smith was excellent; I liked his ability to pound those lefties. I like that a lot.
So with the rain this weekend no plans have been set as yet as to how we get the Marlins series in. Obviously they will have to be made up some how. Of course, the Marlins want very much to kick our butts in the last games of the season again. I am sure they will want to win on Sunday the last game at Shea to try and humiliate us. No, No we gotta beat those punks and beat em bad. The NL East is still there for us to take, and with a little help fro the Nationals, who had given the Phillies a lot of grief this year, we can take it. I want the NL East, I will only settle for the wild card. This is one of the most exciting finishes you could ask for. With the weather having an effect on everything from starting pitchers to game reschedules. It is all a little overwhelming.
Even without any postponements, the regular season could go into Tuesday. Should the Mets, Phillies and Brewers end in a three-way tie, the Mets and Phillies would play for the NL East title Monday; if the Mets lost that, they would host the Brewers for the wild card Tuesday. If the Mets and Brewers were to tie for the wild card, the tiebreaker would be at Shea Monday. But that is assuming a dry Friday and Saturday, which, according to the weather forecasts,ain’t happening.
We just have to take it one game at a time, and by that I mean winning one game at time.

I mean it’s so obvious I dono why the Mets have not thought about it. (I am sure Jerry has)
