Metsblog has bad news for us: News: Jon Niese to have Surgery on Hamstring
That stinks. All I had to look forward to was rooting for this kid to go like 7-2 down the stretch.
What’s left to root for? Third place? Wright to get to 10 home runs? A Cy Young for Santana?
I know for me I always struggle with the August West coast trip. Warm weather, 10:30 starts and NFL exhibition games tend to distract me. This year the trip is a little earlier than usual – but I don’t see myself staying up late for Padres and Diamondback games. Maybe a Parnell start would be halfway interesting. Billy Wagner’s return – well who cares, if he’s awesome he’s still a goner.
Come back in the morning and I will tell you who I think will be managing the team in 2010. Not who you think I’d say.

There is no argument that can be made for firing Manuel that doesn't justify firing Minaya. (Whether or not you fire any of them, 5 leg injuries in a season means that the trainer should be long gone!)
You can argue back and forth about how well or poorly Manuel has managed the players he's got, but it was Minaya who stuck him with a roster with so many holes in it. It was Minaya who could never quite build out the pitching staff. It was Minaya who left the team with a farm system void of any solid prospects — whether you believe the team would be better off with homegrown talent or trading the talent for more established players, you need good talent in your farm system, which the Mets don't have.
I read that the Mets may make a run at getting Billy Beane. Of course, if he turned down the Red Sox, why would he want to work for the Mets?
I CANT BELEAVE NIESE IS HURT NOW TO. THIS HAS BEEN A RIDICULOUS SEASON WITH ALL THE STARTERS GETTING HURT THANK GOD WRIGHT HAS ESCAPED IT.
I WAS HOPING THAT MAINE, REYES AND POSSIBLY DELGADO WOULD BE BACK THIS MONTH TO ADD SOME NEW
ENERGY TO A DISMAL SEASON AND POSSIBLE STAGE A COME BACK BUT THAT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE NOW. I THINK THEY NEED TO GET RID OF JERRY AND OMAR AND SHAKE THINGS UP A BIT.
