I just read a quote from Gary Sheffield on Newsday.com. According to Sheff “it takes more than 25 guys to win a world championship”, he should know, he’s been there. I pretty much agree with Sheffield’s statement. Watching last night’s game, you could tell Sheff was hurting, but he put himself out there, and played his best.

Read MoreThis is not a knee jerk reaction after last night’s horrible defeat. Last season after Willie Randolph was fired and Jerry Manuel took over I thought it was the right decision.

Read MoreThe Morning Grind is the place for Mets fans to sound off on anything and everything! An open thread for ranting and raving about the Mets, completely raw and uncensored! That eighth inning was hard to watch last night. I think we have our new Heilman… or Mota… or you get the idea… After a bad outing on Sunday, J.J.

Pitching Livan Hernandez started the game off well, not allowing a run till the 4th inning, despite allowing the lead off...
Read MoreI’m trying to figure out who or what sucks the most tonight in the wake of a disgusting 8-5 loss to the miserable Bucs. Let’s see there’s blowing a five-run lead, not getting more than a hit after the third, and J.J. Putz. I think I’ll go with Putz as sucking the most out there tonight, but I am heartened that he’s working on his delivery. Working out nicely for...
