One would think, yes. I'm not sure who else would be considered, but he has to be up there. Only four days left in the month.

OK, I know it's the green monster and all, but Milledge is just a train wreck out there.

Yeaaaa... he's also just 21 (22?) probably going through some growing pains. He's someone I'd love to have on my team any day of the week.

Obviously and nobody's saying otherwise. But this series, in left field at Fenway, he's looked like a train wreck.

Point taken! Just don't want to see people get too down on a verrrrrrrry good prospect because of a couple misplays. In fact, I'd bet that around here that's what people will remember him for for a long-ass time.

Certainly not. Though I do think he can use a bit more AAA time.

I'm definitely inclined to agree with you here. What was the reasoning management gave for bringing him up so fast?

Nady got hurt. I'm interested to know who the hell Victor Diaz pissed off, though. Milledge was supposed to basically fill in, but he played well and got more time when Floyd got hurt. But good pitchers are using his aggressiveness against him. He'll adjust and be fine, but he should be going down.

Swept in Boston. Still 11 games up, and it did help put the Yankees down a bit, but it would have been nice to get at least one win and ride it into the subway series.

GForce · 06-30-2006, 10:08 AM

I know the radio heads around here will be flipping out about this series, but at the end of the day the Mets simply had a poor stretch against a red-hot team that was already very good to begin with.

I think the one worry is that the Mets get complacent, assuming they maintain this double-digit lead. It's very hard to just turn on the switch come playoff time I think. These 3 games against Boston were showcase games...not important in the grand scheme of things but important because it was a series against a prime team. They didn't just lose, but they looked terrible doing so. That they didn't put forth a better performance, regardless of the outcome, disappoints me.

Hopefully they wake up and play well this weekend in the House That Drunks Built.

I'm not sweating this. The mets were the only team left that hadn't lost 3 straight.

The Sox were a buzzsaw and the Mets got smoked. Put it behind them and take 2 of 3 from the Yanks.

GForce · 07-01-2006, 05:32 PM

Randy Johnson...the cure for what ails ya. Mets win 8-3, all 8 charged to Johnson. Trachsel gives up 2 over 7, in painfully slow fashion. Reyes, LoDuca and Wright lead the charge.

Soler vs Jaret Wright in the rubbermatch tomorrow.

Ten years from now, I wonder which Mets infielder will be putting the finishing touches to his HOF resume, David Wright or Jose Reyes?

'Course, it could be both.

darkhorse · 07-02-2006, 08:20 AM

dola,

Jose Valentin hasn't hit this well in five years. Hadn't played an inning at second base in TWELVE years. Whoever made that call deserves a raise.

Mycroft · 07-02-2006, 10:16 PM

If the Mets lose this game because of Valentin/Nady's baserunning blunder, my head may explode!

I wouldnt worry about that, as this inning goes on and on and on.

... and now the Yankers fans LOVE A-rod

Gimme a break. They'll be booing him again tomorrow.

toolboxnj · 07-06-2006, 08:25 PM

Pelfrey going to make his first start against the Florida Fishes

GForce · 07-07-2006, 10:27 AM

With all this talk on Milledge in a deal for Dontrelle, I'm curious...would you put Milledge in a deal that would bring back Kazmir?
