Captain? Stretch much?

So Reyes AND Beltran carried the team, both of which are not there, so in turn you want ONE guy to carry the whole team, you still show signs of being very new to the game, no one or two guys can every carry a team, for an extended period of time that makes a difference.

I have given up hoping that DWright becomes Mr. Baseball. Looks more and more mediocre all the time. Same horrible ABs, miserable Ks in big spots, etc. Happens.

This is my point, which I am afraid eludes the respected Bayonne.

Guys like Wright, Reyes, Murphy & Co. seem incapable of playing full years now w/ significant lost time due to injuries.

Never thought I would say this but I am keen to part ways with Wright and Reyes. They will not take us where once they did in ’06. Package them with the Bum of Bums–Jason Bum. Maybe we could get one top-quality SP.

What is this “full year of Jose Reyes” you speak of? Are we still pretending that Reyes can sustain health year after year? His injuries aren’t flukes. They are part of his makeup. 2009-2011 he’s averaged 89 games a season. 89! I’ll take evidence of a guy aged 26-28 over 22-25 any day.

When you’re 29 you don’t suddenly return back to your healthy ways of 25 years old. Life doesn’t work that way without lying to congress.

David, I was referring to David Wright hitting a quiet .300 since return.

He is hitting over .300 since returning but it sure is a quiet .300 cause the lack of extra base hits, what is needed from him, makes his presence in lineup almost invisible.

When you play kids, Turner, Tejada that are not ready to be full time MLB players you get the errors that they commit but when you don’t have another option plus tight on money you play who you got and until farm system starts producing talent or the check book is loosened then expect more of the same.

Once again, why is Wille Harris on this team as the primary LH PH off the bench?
Can anyone point to a big hit or two he has gotten?
He is Mr. pop up and mister strike out, nuff said.

What can be said about BP that hasn’t been said, it reminds me of the BP post Wagner injury that led to collapse in 2008 when Ayala was our closer and fire starter along with, dare I say his name: Heilman.

well, where do i even begin.. david wright.. he’s supposed to be the leader of this ball club, since reyes went down and it was all up to him, just like in 2009 he made his houdini act and DISSAPEAR, in august he’s hitting a putry 196 with only 2 HR and 10 RBI, i mean, yes the bullpen sucks big time (thanks sandy, but hey, we got the 2PTBN later right), the SP is no better, injuries played a great part in this season, but come on, when david and davis were both out, and bay hitting NOTHING, beltran and reyes TOOK the team on their back and whether the storm, this guy has done absolutely NOTHING to carry this team!!! can he show up please???? how can you be 28 and just become irrelevant after being label “all star, franchiZe player, face of the FranchiZe, leader, captain”.. how come there’s no article about HIM and his dissapearing act just like in 2009??? but no, is everything else but him, injuries, bullpen, no help in the lineup.. BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!! again, to quote phil from the hangover “PAGIN DR ******!!! PAGIN DR ******!!!!!!!!!

oh david, WHERE ART THOU!!!??????

.500 remains our dream.

Hey, Bayonne, if not for the accursed injuries, we’d be
Contenders, right?

Let’s amuse ourselves and hope for better in the future. If Lucas Duda matures into a productive hitter, he can become a folk hero in New York. All the Mets have to dois play the tunes to “Camptown Races” while posting the following lyrics when he hits a HR at home:

Citifield sings this song,
Du-da, Du-da
The brother hits it five miles long
Oh, de Du-da day

Goin’ to run all night
Goin’ to run all day
I bet my money on his left hand bat
He hits it a long, long way

Citifield sings this song,
Du-da, Du-da
The brother hits it five miles long
Oh, de Du-da day

Bye bye 2011. And 2012 does not look much better!

No, but Buccholz being injured was a major blow to the bullpen. Beato being elevated to the setup position and his control vanishing is hurting the bullpen alot

Maybe Frankie R. and Daniel M. would have helped. This team wants to play only 7-inning games.
