  Oh great thanks Joe D now I’ll be humming that diddy of a tune “If your crappy and you know it clap your hands” for the rest of the day.

  Bwah ha ha ha ha! We are cursed! There is no such thing as a good Mets manager!

  Couldn’t agree more, it was the first thing that popped out to me when I saw the lineup, it made me cringe…but it still did not surprise me! Thats the sad part ;(

  Props for the title, props for the excellent points, props for not using 1000 words to make them.

  What’s really worse is 2/3rds of the lineup could be considered ‘crappy’ right now.
  So pick your poison in the 2 spot.

  If you’re going to blab about how important OBP is for more than a decade, you would think Alderson and Collins wouldn’t have such a horrendous and embarasing showing with the wo spot in order.

  Thought you should know 2010 Mets two hiters had a .311 OBP, 36 points higher than the current cast.

  Harris will hit for cycle today–K, pop out, GIDP, fly ball!

  With a lineup like this, who need the Rox to put up an L?

    Ever the optimist, aren’t you, Russell? I see a guy who makes Endy look like a world’s champ. P.S.: At least 2K for Harris. I hope I’m wrong. LOL

  Joe, your dilemma amuses me in some perverse way. You just don’t like anything with a “2″ in it.

  Defensively — 2B position.

  Offensively — 2 in the batting order.

  Let’s all chill out. The die was cast some time ago when Uncle Bernie did his dirty deed. Look what’s next:

  Standings — If we wind up as Number 2 you’ll be happy.

  Murphy should be hitting second now…and when Pagan comes back, I’d like to see him hit there because I like having Reyes and Pagan’s speed at the top of the order.

  How about Pridie in the 2 spot? .250/.345/.500 would actually be an improvement there.

  Joe—
  If your little niece works cheap, she may be next in line.
