Frustrating… It’s the first word that jumps into my head whenever I hear the name of Moises Alou. All the good he does when he’s in the lineup is just washed away in one fell swoop whenever the injury bug strikes. I wonder if he’s even worth it… I wonder if we would be better served with a lesser accomplished hitter who at least can play everyday…Bart Hubbuch...
As much as I love Willie, sometimes I just have to question his logic. Case in point yesterday’s game against the Cubs…The Mets have just lost two heart breaking games and they surely needed a win in the finale against the Cubs.

The more I see Lastings Milledge putting up explosive numbers this spring, the more I find myself looking at Ryan Church and scratching my head.Lastings Milledge currently leads the Nationals in at-bats with 66.

There is so much to like about Ryan Church...
When I first heard this trade early this afternoon, I was actually in my car and I literally had to pull over and let it sink in… Then I felt a perfect storm brewing in my head… I was freaking mad…After hearing all this hype about what a talent Lastings Milledge was, and how he was going to be in our outfield for years and years, what happened? Wasn’t this the same...
