Maine Pitches Well, but the Offense is AWOL

I went into last nights game hoping o see some life in the Mets offense. I was disappointed to say the least. Willie's stupidity continues to hurt this team, and the only fix is to fire Witless Willie.

In the games where Ryan Church has hit 2nd, the Mets have scored early and often. Everybody I saw on TV and in print said Ryan should stay in the 2 hole. Even Lee Mazilli said before the game, "I'd continue riding the wave". Ever since Castillo has moved back into the 2 spot, the Mets have lost games. And the Carlos Brothers are lost. Delgadud needs to sit. Put Easley at 1st base and send Delgadud to AAA to learn how to hit again. And Guinness says he's one of the best hitters on the Mets? Maybe for the 1st few games, but he's no f__king good. Everyone I heard yesterday was saying that Alou' should move to 1st when he comes back, and Carlos should sit. Alou' certainly can't do any worse than Carlos at 1st base. Maybe Alou' would stay healthy if he didn't crash into walls and drive for balls in the outfield. Either way, Delgado can no longer be considered a full time player.

The Pitching was mixed at best. John struggled, but definately did his job. He only walked 2 and gave up 2 runs in 6 innings. He pitched much better than his previous starts. The walks were really hurting him before. Sanchez pitched the 7th inning, and looked good doing it. He hardly gives the batters a chance to get any hits. His fastball hit 93MPH and his change-up was working well. The 8th inning, was a nightmare. Heilman couldn't get anyone out when needed, and gave up 2 runs. The Sosa comes in and does his impression on Aaron. With 2 on and 2 outs, he serves up a gopher ball for another 3 runs. Can we possibly talk some team into doing a trade for these 2 bums? Can we trade them to someone for a 1st basemen who can hit and field his postion?

There is a pattern developing for the last 2 seasons, and it's not getting better. All too often only 1-2 players are doing the hitting. It's hard to win games when the other 6 hitters are standing around waiting for something to happen. Beltran is lost, Castillo is done, Delgado is finished, and Jose' is up and down too often. It's time to get someone in the manager's office that will keep these guys focused, and prepared. Willie has never shown that ability, and needs to go.
