What an awful week. It all started with the wearing of the you know what and except for R.A. Dickey the entire week was a disaster.
Jason Bay & Ike Davis: I’m done man. You can’t let productive parts sit on the bench while these two play. I can’t believe I’m typing this but I’d rather see Hairston out there. I lose my mind when Nieuwenhuis (got it right but I did check after and I’m still not positive) doesn’t play. I know Ike got a hit late today but you can’t eat .160 at first base for an entire summer. We all like Ike but this ain’t working and there’s still a shot of a miracle season.
Bullpen: damned if I know who to roll out there. The starters are usually serviceable but then God help us. Try to go 8 and hope Frank Frank has his stuff.
Colactus: I think he pushes all the right buttons. The one labeled bullpen doesn’t work. See above.
Any time Santana loses it’s a long 5 days. Always a long week when the ace loses one. Friday sucked.
So I’m sort of freaked out and I’m sort of calm. It was awful but guess what, they are still above .500 and still in the thick of things. This team is designed for doubles not 330 foot home runs, and there’s plenty of season to beat up on lesser teams and play half the post-season in Citi Field.
In the meantime, sorry Ike & Jason. I need to see someone else out there. Tell Duda to get out his first baseman’s glove. we can worry about his progress in RF in hopefully spring and if not then in September.
Where’s everyone else’s head at?
