Well losing 2 of 3 to the damn Fish while the Phils get to feast on the lousy Nats = a slide back down into 2nd place. Off day tomorrow and then off to Houston.
Will be interesting to see what trades do go down tomorrow. Anyone have an OFer (other than Andruw Jones ) and a reliever they can send the Mets way??
Carpenter only went 4 innings but it's a start. He hasn't pitched since opening day last season. It's a long rehabilitation, nice to see him on the mound.
Caroline thanks for the good vibes. Diane is the Rockies girl. I appreciate it all the same
Wonder if we will see any new players before the trade deadline?
No more talk about Holliday for now. Since we are in a pathetic division, they think the Rockies still have a chance for playoffs, so he'll stay for now. I think!
They won last night, now onto Florida. I'm hopeful! Those darn Dodgers and DBacks keep winning, too, so we're not making up much ground right now.
Wow Manny a Dodger!? He had been rumored to be traded to the Mets every yr for the past 5 years and then he never got traded anywhere, so I really thought this would be one of those times again where its all a big tease. Doesn't seem like LA lost much and the Sox got themselves a solid player in Bay.
My Mets did nothing. Would have loved to see them get another bat for the OF, but I guess they couldn't find the right deal. Hopefully our surprise contributors will keep it up, and we'll get our RFer back healthy soon.
I think we gave up WAY too much... Manny, a reliever who could be pretty good, a decent outfielder and 7 million dollars... and we got Bay... which is fine, looking forward to him. But we didn't get any middle relief, actually Hansen was active bullpen..
Gary... I think Manny will be an interesting addition to former rival Mr. Torre, although I've heard they respect each other a lot...
Unconfirmed reports said that 24/25 Red Sox players wanted Manny OUTTA here... that was a little unsettling...
It will be interesting guys ~~~~~~~~~ no game here tonite..

Yep SWEET-C the talk on the sports channels is the DODGERS got a sweet deal here. I think so, but I assume it will be just for this play-off run. We shall see.
