Well that sucked. 16-7. Weren’t we winning that game at some point? I realize that Willie is trying to save his bullpen for the long haul, but damn it, we had them. I cant belive I agree with that jackass Joe Morgan but I characteristically do. At what point do you call your bullpen Willie? You know Alay can be a headcase, didja really think leaving him out there against the Yankees was really going to make him grow as a pitcher? Awful, just awful.

Coincidently so was Soler. Alay seemed to miss everything tonight despite the low strike zone.

So the best test for the Mets this season has been administered and completed. D- and I am grading on the curve. 6-9. We beat the Jays, got swept by the Sox and lost the series two out of three including a tail kicking last night. D-. I would give out an F but the Pedro thing is such a freak occurrence that was un-Pedro like and the Mets were one Coco Crisp circus catch from at least taking one from the Sox.

I don’t think it’s time to panic. I think the Mets need to get focused on beating the Tar out of the Fish and the Bucs. I think the Mets need to pad that lead even further. I think we just all realized that we have been fooling ourselves with this back end of the rotation. Remember about a month ago after Zambrano was out. Bannister wasn’t coming back, and Maine’s finger was still hurt? We were forced to endure Lima and Gonzalez. I’m not sure that Soler and El Duque are much better.

Does anyone know when Brian Bannister is coming back? June 26th came and went? Does anyone know anything? Please let me know.

Omar was definitely sent a midseason report card giving him an Idea of what he needs. Omar needs to somehow get someone to part with a front end starter. Somebody that can take the ball and halt a slide. Someone that can leave no room for doubt while on the hill. Pedro used to be that guy but hip and toe problems coupled with the fact I am still a little miffed from his lovefest in Beantown takes Petey off that list. Glavine? Maybe but isn’t he like 60?

Maybe Omar can broker some sort of three way trade with Rickey Henderson’s ugly ass shirt as the center piece.

Hello Billy, this is Omar, yeah how about Barry Zito for the worlds ugliest shirt? O.k. what about Zito for the worlds ugliest shirt and the world’s most purple suit?No, Lima left it at Shea… Deal?

So the 2006 Subway series ends in a 3-3 tie. It also ends in a massively disappointing start from Soler. On to the Marlins and Bucs. This should be a chance for everybody to calm down and get back to National League Baseball.I hate Inter-League Baseball.
