Stop bashing the pitching, although admittedly the pen has some serious problems! If the meat of our order hadn't had a big O-fer (not a clue as to how to spell that?) we would have been fine. Look, we are not very far removed from our offense putting up good numbers, and as soon as Reyes gets back on base all will be right with the world.
I predict that we take the next two in Philly for the split, and it's not even a prediction, I know that only one team from NY will be playing post-season ball and they live in Queens! Hear that Yankee Schmo? |

Now you know what it feels like to be me. I've had to put up with worse pitching than you have this season. If you want to comapre bullpens, we have our Opening Day starter as the only somewhat reliable guy in the pen. Then we have Gordon, Mesa and Alfonseca who should not even be in the majors as the guys to get us through 7-8. Spare me the horror stories.
You get Pedro back off the DL. We just got Eaton back. We've had 27 guys toe the rubber this season including 12 different starters and 7 guys making their ML debut.
Your 1-4 hitters are a combined 2 for 32 in the first two games of the series. That's why the series is 2-0 and not 1-1.
These are the same guys that made the Mets pen the best in baseball last seasaon. It's not Willie or Omar's fault that they all stink this season, excect Wagner. But as you know, October is coming so he'll stink soon too.

hey silly,
this is not the exact same pen the mets had last season, dummy. last season there was bradford, heath bell, henry owens, and duaner sanchez, also roberto hernandez and a juiced up mota. If we have that pen this season we can win games that are 2-0 in the eighth inning. I agree with you about the lack of o, but situational relief pitching is what wins in the postseason, and that is something the mets DO NOT have. Juice up Mota, bring back smith and stick duque in the pen. Thats the only solution. |

I don't agree with sticking Duque in the pen, but I agree with everything else Dude is saying. Re-signing Mota wasn't a dumb move per se. However, signing him for as long as Omar did was stupid, and back loading the contract will probably result in the Mets dealing with him longer than we'd like.
This isn't the same bullpen as last year. Bradford was money, and so was Sanchez. But Bradford is gone, and Duaner isn't pitching for us any time soon.
The lack of offense was atrocious. What it boils down to is Jose Reyes. When Reyes is hitting and getting on base, the Mets chances of winning increase exponentially. |

| Pinning the entire offense on Jose Reyes is short-sighted. He was such a huge part of the offense because nobody else but Wright was healthy the whole time and Delgado sucked. It's up to the big guys to play like big guys. Then 2-0 leads will turn into 4-0 leads and guys like Mota and Shoeneweis can go back to being role players. Putting El Duque is also foolish. That will not happen. He and Glavine are the only two going deep into games and pitching like they are in the prime of their careers. If Pedro comes back and is healthy - Ollie Perez goes to the pen. Dude, you are way off base with Hernandez going to the pen. |
