I'm kinda upset that Rubin is reporting that Minaya is being kept largely to keep costs down..Too expensive too rebuid the front office.
If I read right the roughly $30 Million coming off payroll will not be replaced with contracts.
Are the Wilpons just "gullible" people that put too much faith & trust in employees and business associates? To me, the increasing hole in the wallet suggests so.

Does that count as a Church/starting RF injury? I'd say so.

The Mets are so decimated by injuries that they can't even send out their "B" team any longer. Castillo and Murphy are the only players in today's line up that were expected to be regulars at the start of the season.

He came up grimacing yesterday on the sliding catch that was initially ruled a trap and then overturned. It looked like he landed right on that thumb at the time.

This might be the absolute worst lineup they've thrown out there all year, and that's saying something.
If Parnell gives up less than three runs, he shouldn't even be tagged with a loss -- just say it was "offensive indifference."

So over two consecutive games, the top of the first had 3 3-run homeruns, and in the bottom of the first, the lead-off batter went all around the bases each time. Happens all the time.

Two errors by Utley. Howie and Wayne are praising Pagan for doing something that everybody should do--hustle. Utley dropped a pop-up and then threw the ball away.

Howie is quoting Taggart from Blazing Saddles: "what in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here?" And then they played an audio clip--it sounded like a morning zoo.

He wants to sign with the Fucksox at a lower rate next season I assume

Well, of course he wants to sign a contract for less money. Wouldn't you? And of course the Red Sox are going to give up their top prospect for a situational lefty who's pitched one major league inning in the last twelve months and may or may not still be hurt.
Come back to this planet, Ash.

There was a report this morning that the Sox were expressing concern about Wagner's arm, as he hadn't yet pitched in this series. I'm guessing it will take more than one walk and no hits in a scoreless inning with two strikeouts to force the Mets to pull him off waivers.
