Not So Perfect


Maybe this is an opportunity for Pelfrey to step up and show the Mets and all of the Shea faithful what he's got. What I can't understand is how Pedro could have hurt his hamstring. Coming off a Spring where he supposedly was healthier then ever, one pitch turns him into a piece a spaghetti. Now I hope this injury isn't serious, but with Pedro you know that just not gonna be the case. All I can think about is how I wish Brian Bannister was on the team. I get upset when the Mets lose. I'm in a bad mood all next day. I understand this isn't healthy but I cant do anything about it. Robert Andino? Who the heck is that? 81 career at bats? Are you kidding me? TO me the problem was Matt Wise who had struck out the two guys before Andino did not realize that an 81 mph changeup isn't a changeup to a single A caliber player, its a fastball. And he really got a hold of that one. Damn it.

On the bright side, the Mets came back from a 4-0 deficit with nice hitting, not leaving runners on base, moving guys over, sac flies, it was good baseball. Our Bullpen was great. Sosa, Heilman, and Schoenweiss did thier job magnificently. We have the best bullpen in the NL. And we havent even seen Billy yet. Nice. Brian Schnieder was 3-4, I thought he cant hit. The Highs and lows of the baseball season are killer one day to the next is ridiculous. I love baseball.

In honor of my love of Brian Bannister, I would like to name my Top 5 worst Minaya moves.
1)Brian Bannister for Burgoix - Really Omar
2)Heath Bell - Traded for nothing
3)Lindstrom and Owens - Traded for nothign again? nice give away young arms for nothing
4)2004 Draft - Passed on Phil Hughes
5)2005 Draft - Passed on OF's Cameron Maybin, Travis Buck and Jacoby Ellsbury, Jay Bruce and Colby Rasmus, and Matt Garza, Clay Bucholz
