I hate Bay’s demeanor, too. I don’t see aggression, drive, or energy.

With Bay it’s the distance he stands from home plate, not the distance of the outfield walls that is the problem.I would say he is on pace to be the Mets worst ever FA signing.Even the worst prior to Bay (Perez, Castillo, Sabergahen, Bonilla) had at least ine decent year as a Met.This clown has been invisible since Day one.

You see, I appreciate your attitude: we agree to disagree like civilized men.

Russell, with all due respect, you call it what you will and want, i call it how it is.. If you wanna call me a hater for calling his throw horrible then so be it…

Here’s my question. Why are we to even assume that Heath Bell could have ever handled the pressure in NY and become a great closer? It’s not like he has been lights out now that he is playing for a team that needs to win games. Some players are cut out for NY and some are not.

Russell — Guess who (it’s really not you) should have the Jagermeister? It’s the perpetual whiner.

Even Flow — When Heath Bell was Parnell’s age and in the Big Apple, Mets fans and management showed him no love. These numbers may show why the Mets didn’t want Heath:

Year 2005
Age 27
WHIP 1.479
H/9 10.8

Year 2006
Age 28
WHIP 1.676
H/9 12.4

On November 15, 2006, Bell was traded to San Diego, along with pitcher Royce Ring, for outfielder Ben Johnson and relief pitcher Jon Adkins.

“Moving on….” You really never do Alex; rather you run down Wright any and every time.

Only a hater would describe the error he was charged with as “HORRIBLE.” How silly.

As I see it, he made an excellent defensive play to get the hop, pivoted and threw short to the inexperienced Rottino; Rottino was incapable of handling a standard short-hop throw to 1st. Officially, it’s an error on 3B–understandable. A 1st B-man with marginal MLB competency makes that pick nearly every time.

Collins is the victim of a failed Winter by the GM. Blaming him for bringing in bad relievers is denying facts. 7 bad relievers. What a choice he has indeed!

Here’s a better idea for Rauch………DFA

After this series, can we officially stop talking about Parnell like he’s blossom into the next Heath Bell like other Met fans hoped he’ll be? It’s not happening, people.

Well, this is pathetic, we get a chance to salvage a game and boom.. Once again we’re victimize by unclutch at bats, errors, bad pitchign and the worst bullpen (arguably the worst) in baseball…
Second inning we could’ve blown the game open, bases loaded and 1 out, and jason (i’m 10x better than ike davis) bay strikes out, well, that’s not a shocker, the man sucks in all possible way it’s not even funny.. then comes the All Star, the MVP candidate David wright came up and of course, struck out, to me, inning was over once jason bay struck out, but it would’ve been nice for our AS to come trough, he usually does early in games… Moving on..
Niese was just cruising,2 out in the 7th inning, then a ground ball to third, and once again our 3B (who did not have ike davis at 1B to save him) made a HORRIBLE throw to first to extend the inning, and little do you know, BOOM, 3-2 game after a HR, then in comes the HORRENDOUS bullpen sandy provided the mets fans with and this time, it was parnell (who was victimize by that guy at SS only sandy knows) who let the floorgates open, 4-3 game going into the ninth, and once the game, the team somehow despite being sabotage finds a way to tie the game, this time it was ike davis with a game tying double that after that was just victimize by bad baseball running and was thrown out at 3rd with a ground ball to SS.. It happens, but we are not that good of a team to give other teams outs or make stupid plays, in comes the ninth and this time there was not too much drama, 2 outs, noone on base and john (Thank you sandy for that contract i did not deserve but you being stupid gave me anyways) Rauch gave up a GW HR to end the game… Sweep complete, good night…
This team one week shows a lot of promise, next week they fall apart, so far 1-5 on that tough stretch week, in comes The Tampa Bay Rays, it’s not gonna get any easier. guess if we keep playing this way sandy won’t have to worry about being buyer come july.. SMH

Russell — I’m not a drinker. I haven’t touched the stuff in eons. What worked though is Jagermeister with beer. It’s yucky but dynamite in a glass. When the going gets tough, the tough get Jagermeister. Highly recommended if you want an angry head tomorrow morning. You’ll have bigger problems than the Mets. LOL>

They said nhe has debris but that usually means bone fragments and the only way to fix that is to scope him.
I suggest they do it now and get it over with. Sure isn’t helping us up here.

Here is a question for some folks here….

Which Bullpen arm leads the pen with the lowest ERA?

When you figure it out you will have the answer to why he has been getting put into games!

I see a lot of people want to hang this all on Collins but when your given a choice of:
Dog Turd Pie
Elephant turd Pie
Chicken Poop Pie
and Runny Turd Tartie…

There is no good decision you can make, you just make one and hope today is the day they didn’t take their ExLax and dump all over us!

Maybe so, maybe I need patience, maybe I am coming unglued b/c of the way we lose games we should win. ???

Russell — You’re a hard man my friend. I think you’re double banging on Parnell and Rauch. LOL.
