No Met game so I listened to Florida at Chicago. Good game, 2-2 heading to the 10th. In comes Heilman and 6 runs later the Fish have another win. At least he's killing some other team's fans this year.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('146234','Eagle'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('146234','Eagle','Hey, this might cheer someone up.

I agree with Rubin. I think Wright is not only playing with emotion and piss, he's playing with so much of both that he can't see the ball anymore. How would the booing help a player like this? I wish everybody would calm down. Sure they're playing awful, sure the last two seasons have been nightmares. But if the last two seasons tell us anything is that you can't tell anything about a Mets seasons from the first 21 games, and no matter what David Wright looks like at any particular moment, he's going to have a season as good as his last one. And I don't care what the radio guys say about "Don't tell me about his stats." Anybody with those stats can play on my team anytime. Just think of how bad the Mets would have been without them. P.S. Nobody should introduce the name Dick Young without an expletive participle before it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('146197','Dana Brand'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('146197','Dana Brand','Steve, I don\'t agree with you.

Please, pause for one minute and think about it. OK, now, we have seem the same thing, written about the same thing, and bitched and moaned about the same thing for two years. We change managers, nothing changes. Where else in sports can you turn the clock back and see exactly the same issues over and over again? Nothing will change until Minaya is gone. Steve makes a good point about how they played with 23 guys yesterday, and probably will do the same in Philly. Then, someone goes on the DL...same old shit. Now, pause again. OK, think about it. Who puts the people in the uniform? Who manages the roster? OK, why do we think changing the manager will change anything? It is the GM who controls the things that are wrong. Why does this man have a 4-year contract? A new 4-year-contract to boot. Expect no change until he's gone.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('146177','Rich'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('146177','Rich','How much more do we have to see before the Skill Sets realize this is an organizational issue, not something that can be fixed with a tweak?
