All things being equal, I'd rather be in Philly
I have taken down the “Waste of Space” poll as I think we all agree that there is no bigger waste of space that Jose Valentin. Thank you for your participation.
According to the reports from Miracle Mets there is plenty o venom in the city of brotherly love. Wow. I guess it really is more than hype from sports writers. Anyway, it got me pondering the question to your left. Take a second to vote.
There is not much on the news front today regarding the most pressing of issues the Mets face, the starting rotation. Here’s what’s new:
The Los Angeles Times has reported what I had speculated to be the case days ago. The Dodgers are trying to sell us Odalis Perez to the Mets. With several sources reporting that the Mets are actively shopping Kaz Matsui, I maintain that the only possible trade that may occur is Perez for Kaz even up. We will see what unfolds.
In the meantime the club has announced the call up of Jeremi Gonzalez to start Friday’s game against the Milwaukee:
Gonzalez, 31, had pitched well enough for Norfolk. He had 1-2 record and 3.03 ERA in six starts with the Mets' Triple-A affiliate, allowing 34 base runners -- three walks and one home run -- and striking out 20. He will have to be added to the 40-man roster on Friday.
I don’t have much confidence in Gonzalez to pitch lights out against the Brewers. The design of the team set up for the starters to get a close game to the pen after 6 innings. The team had more faith in Lima than Gonzalez and we all saw how that worked out. Granted that Lima is a veteran and Gonzalez a rook, I don’t expect two much from either pitcher. This has to be a move to buy some time to acquire someone else via trade. As usual Mets fans hope a poor trade happens rather than a horrendous one involving Millegde. Say it with me Mets fans: “expect the worst and hope for the best”
I know there have been some suspect officiating lately; express your frustration but, please fellow Mets, fans lets not become the whiney fans blaming our troubles on the umpires. I get enough of that from Mark Cuban as I live in Dallas. It gets old fast.
Prediction: The blow one that goes our way sometime in the next 129 games. When that happens don’t feel guilty, just remember these games. That’s how baseball goes.
On the humor front this is really funny in a twisted way. The MP thing was uncalled for.
Tonight Tommy Glavine looks for win 280 and more importantly, to gain a game against the Cory Lidle and the red-hot Phils.

That title was insprired by a rough work day. I truly meant no sarcasm with Tom on the Hill. The sarcasm will return when Lima time toes the rubber. Thanks for reading and the comment Mark!
