ITEM: PETEY RIGHT ON COURSE
Even though Petey would love his next start to be in a big league ball park, it looks like he will make one more rehab start in the bushes before regaining his spot in the Mets rotation. I understand what Omar is doing as even the awful performance last night, there is no panic that the Phillies or Braves will catch the Mets, so why not let Petey work on command of breaking ball to see if he can get outs with guile and smarts when he can’t fire up his fastball. Which is what he told St. Lonesome mgr. Frank Cacciatore last night when Cacciatore wanted Petey to walk a batter to set up a double play and Petey told him No he was here to see if he can still get out of jams, and he did with a strike out and a fly out. I know winning the FSL is a big deal to Cacciatore and his team but the big organizational picture is winning the World Series so Petey flexed his future Hall of Fame muscle.
ITEM: WHO STARTS SATURDAY?
I don’t care as long as it’s not Brain Lawrence. I ‘ve seen enough of him. Lawrence is a junk baller who has to get the ball down to be effective as his fastball lacks both velocity and movement which means it’s a batting practice fastball. He falls behind batters and then has to come with that lollipop fastball and it’s a disaster. If the Mets won’t give the start to Mike Pelfrey or Phil Humber or even Petey, then give it to Aaron Sele anyone up Lawrence. Enough already!
ITEM: RENFORCMENTS ARE ON THE WAY
Adam Rubin has a list of names of who will be up come Saturday the first of September. You don’t need to bring up 10 or more guys but one name on Rubin’s list is Willie Collazo, who should have been up here over a month ago.

Pea Brain Willie HAS TO GO!!!
I feel he does no planning and strategic planning before the game. He needs to Sit Reyes down and explain to him about not hitting the first pitch. It’s not only Willie that has to go he needs to take his whole coaching staff with him. Rick ( Regis Philbin Look a like) Peterson needs to go. Stop playing Seduko in the dugout and let these guys pitch instead of over analyzing every pitch. The coaches are too old for this team. They need young full of energy coaches. They need a manager that will set fire under their butts and argue with umps if they are wrong. Have not seen Pea Brain do this, except to walk back to the dugout with his head between his legs. Stand up for your GUY!!! and Fight!!! OMAR IS ANOTHER WON. HEY JACKASS Bannister won another on thats 11 wins and where is your Native Brother Burgos hurt and will not be back until 2009. Great way to waste a spot on the 40 man roster and probably get a raise too. OMAR NEEDS TO GO, HE HAS SCREWED UP THE BULLPEN AND POOR TRADES THIS YEAR. GO BACK TO DR AND BE A GM DURING WINTER BALL… adios
DOES OMAR HAVE BALLLS??
If he was a man and did he would call up Eddie Kunz their first pick in the draft this year. He already pitched in 4 yrs of college and now with the Cyclones. MLB has no idea what he throws, put him in the bullpen and let him pitch, can he do any worse then the shit out there now!!!!
I was thinking about this today and was going to work a post up on it. Not specifically about the ridiculous situation where a team on the road loses with their closer on the bench, but just the closer overall.
The Yankees are actually lucky their best reliever is not their closer since they get to use him in high leverage and key situations regardless if it is a save or not.
WILLIE HAS TO GO AND OMAR HAS TO GO. WILLIE HAS TO GO AND OMAR HAS TO GO. WILLIE HAS TO GO AND OMAR HAS TO GO. WILLIE HAS TO GO AND OMAR HAS TO GO. WILLIE HAS TO GO AND OMAR HAS TO GO.
