Orlando Hudson for second. Bobby Abreu for left field.

"We need to talk about the NY Mets. Let's talk about Johan Santana. He's a great pitcher, but it takes more than 1 guy. That's what we have here". Ok, enough. First pitch against them flips J-Rol like a pancake on a griddle. If he gets up and goes to the mound, I'd like to see Reyes get in the first punch, since they all seem to target him the most. If they don't stand up for themselves and let this shit go without retribution, then our team is stocked with FUCKING PUSSIES!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('119700','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('119700','Rich','Did you see\/hear Rollins at the Phuck celebration? \"We need to talk about the NY Mets.

Ok, enough. First pitch against them flips J-Rol like a pancake on a griddle. If he gets up and goes to the mound, I’d like to see Reyes get in the first punch, since they all seem to target him the most.

(If Wagner and Maine had not gone down for the last two months, we would have won our division over Phillie). Sue Delgado had the bad start, but showed that he could really step up his game, his hustle, and results when he played for Jerry Manuel. With J Gangsta coming back, I say bring back Carlos. Now, if some brilliant opportunity comes around that involves moving Carlos and picking up a fine, younger 1B, ok, he is not untouchable. But if we go to war in April with Delgado at first, I am fine with that. I like the guy on and off the field. We have huge holes to fill this year, 1B is not one of the highest priorities. BTW, Steve, you are one seriously funny guy! You had me busting some loud laughs...I love your humor, man.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('119686','David in Manhattan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('119686','David in Manhattan','A word in defense of Carlos Delgado...this guy played some great baseball for us last year and it was he a a few other guys that got us in the end to within a game.

Had great numbers, yes. Is he a "winner"? Well, we don't think so, so adios. It will say we're about winning, not stats, and anyone can be dealt. That clubhouse dynamic has to be shaken, too.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('119679','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('119679','Rich','I think that a sign\/trade of Delgado (part one is done) would send a loud message to the team.
