Nothing has worked for Terry Collins to get his team off the second half schnide, somatbe he should do a little song and dance
Lucas Duda is back with the big club and JV1 goes back the Wallyworld. I’m sure Valdespin will be back in September but there are many in the Mets clubhouse who I’m sure wished Valdy a nice trip to Buffalo and don’t let the clubhouse door hit you on the ass on the way out.
Scott Hairston and Anders Torres have been placed on waivers. I’m sure Hairston will be claimed and hopefully the Mets can deal Hairston for a prospect or two but I doubt anyone is going to claim Torres, you never know but I really doubt it. If Torres is not claimed I’d rather see the Mets release him and let Matt Den Deker play CF in September.
Seems Ruben Tejada took a shot to the nuts (he wasn’t wearing a cup, I guess he has no thoughts of being a daddy) and that was the excuse explanation for not running out a ground ball yesterday. If he was hurting so much form the shot to the McNuggets than he should have been removed from the game, if you’re in the game you got play hard even if you have swollen scrotum.
I know he got hurt, but there is no way that Torres should have taken at bats from Captain Kirk, Hairston, either for that matter. These guys have played every day and got exposed, as these types of players always do. There is no question that (and I do not care if he is another left handed hitter) Den Dekker should play every game that the Mets play in the month of October. If nothing else he will catch the ball.
