And a few more...

Darn. I was hoping David would go all Lo Duca there.

Wright is just mad at his own team too

Probably asking him why he voted for Pablo Sandoval.....

Mets are one of the worst defensive teams in baseball statistically

They also have one of the worst bullpens in baseball

that is a recipe for disaster.

Be thankful this teams SP has been one of the best in baseball this year

Otherwise we would be watching a pretty bad product. Defense will fix itself IMO but this pen needs to be revamped asap. Sandy should worry more about the crappy job he did with Wilpons money than he should about his 3B not making it in as a starter in a "meaningless" game

Bill Maher is watching.

I'd like to see him storm in after the game and start making some changes.....

This.

What a disaster. You can only roll the dice on that lefty lineup / righty lineup "platoon" for so long. With Ike and Murphy finally starting to heat up, you still put them in the game.

Let's say that this team DOES make the playoffs. Are we sitting Ike, Murphy and Thole if we face Kershaw in the NLDS? Get them some experience against the tough left hander and at the very least you've got Ike out there for defense. Turner looks lost out there at first base. Nickeas is clueless at the plate and just botched a sure DP that broke the game open. (Batista's throw could have been better, but it wasn't that bad -- that's completely on Nickeas).

As far as Cedeno goes, he's usually decent out there in the field -- but with Turner, Quintanilla and Cedeno all part of this bench, one of those three has to go -- and I'd prefer that it be Cedeno.

Batista -- I'm not going to beat that dead horse, we all know he should have been gone weeks ago.

"New rule: If you aren't good at baseball, maybe it's not baseball that you should be playing."

Game over. Poorly played game on both sides. We just played worse.

That's 3 guys who should be off the team. Don't forget The Rocket Ronnie Cedeno who made that. Big error earlier!

it would behoove this team not to lay an egg against the Phillies

2 out of 3 is all we ask, although they should really sweep

if they get swept or spit the bit, heads need to roll

TC painted himself into a corner by saying several days in advance that he'd have Ike and Murphy sit against Kershaw. Once he made that commitment, it's not the kind of thing that can be reversed.

I think if you look at the 162-game picture, you have to play the extras once in awhile to give yourself any kind of a bench.

That said, Nickeas is not a major leaguer and there's no way you need all of Q, Cedeno, and Turner.

You also got a look at the guys in the pen who aren't any good (although Hef looked good tonight).

There's plenty of room for fine-tuning on Sandy's part.
