Heilman Performs a Heimlich Maneuver on Mets

Yesterday I was wondering how Vargus would pitch. I should have been worried about Witless Willie doing something to lose the game. In an effort to continue his win 1 game lose 1 strategy, Willie brings Heimlich Heilman into a close game. Omar got rid of one cancer on the team, time to cut the next piece lose. Aaron needs to go bye bye. As long as he's there, the Mets will continue to lose games because Willie refuses to use anyone else. I hear the Mets are trying to trade Sosa. Package Heimlich Heilman with him and maybe the Mets can get a couple of tickets to a post season game.

The Mets are now going into tomorrows game with the very real possibility of losing 3 out of 4 games to the last place Nationals. Teams that hope to win in October don't lose to last place teams. Vargus did all we could have hoped for. 6+ innings and only 2 runs should be enough to win the game. But the offense went to sleep once again. They continue to just scuffle along and show no heart or killer instinct.

I have a feeling that this problem will not end until there is a major shake-up in the management department. Willie is the deserving candidate after once again having no idea how to win games that need to be won. I heard his post-game comments and they made no sense. He said Scott wasn't feeling well, and wasn't available to pitch. Because of this he brought Aaron in and wanted him to pitch 2 innings because of the day game tomorrow. He didn't want to burn out the pen going into tomorrows' game? How about winning this game before you worry about the next game? He needs to get a clue. The only concern he should have is winning the game they are playing, not the game that will come. Joe Smith ended up pitching 1.2 innings and Feliciano pitched 9th. If Scott doesn't pitch tonight, he can pitch tomorrow and still give the team an inning or two if needed. This game is exactly why people hate Willie's management decisions. He's a mental midget, and has no clue on how to win on a consistent basis.

Tomorrow's game now hinges on the right arm of Big Pelf. If the offense decides to show up, and Mike can pick up where he left off in his last game, maybe the Mets can win the game. Winning 4 out of 7 on this home stand is bad enough, going 3-4 will have the boo birds swarming thru Shea like a angry swarm of Killer Bees. They'll be looking for someone to attack, and it may not be limited to Heimlich Heilman. It could soon be Willie who's the target of boos echoing through Shea Stadium.
