So the Mets released Livan Hernandez and activated Billy Wagner today. Excited? Didn’t think so.
I wonder if this will increase the Mets fan confidence rating? Who runs that anyway, is that one of those Quinnipiac University polls?
What a disaster. The stadium has no Franchise presence (well actually it does have a franchise presence, a Dodgers presence.) The Mets recently put up a few team accomplishment banners in the outfield – woopie!
The injuries to Wright, Reyes, Delgado, and Beltran are astounding really. Think about it, they lost ½ of their position players – the best ones.
To put things in perspective last year those 4 players accounted for 114 HR’s 419 RBI and 440 RS. This year those four players total 22 HR’s 133 RBI and 147 RS. That’s devastation. Actually, when you think about it, they are doing pretty well not falling 10 games under .500 (yet).
If the Mets have anything at all go their way this season, Wagner will have 3 or 4 good outings and they can trade him for something. – Josh Bolan
