What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
>Earlier in the year when you were calling for Carlos Delgado to be just outright released I told you to remain calm.
Now you find yourself chanting MVP at Sunday Night Baseball (ESPN hates children and cancelled another Mr. Met dash).
I am hear to warn you not to be fooled. Should Delgado be waived? Of course not. Should the Mets pick up the option?
No.
How many times do you see a guy suddenly get a lot better when there is a contract at stake (cough Mussina cough A-Rod).
Then what happens the next year? The 'real' player comes back.
If the 'real' Delgado comes back y'all will be booing him out of Citi Field by May 1st.
It's first base. You'll get someone. You wanted Delgado gone in May. Remember that feeling. Let him go.
….
Nice of Santana to be all ace-like last night. Nice to see that. Too often you get Cylonic Glavine type performances.
Answer to yesterday's trivia question of what's from Boston and can't be trusted: come on that was easy – Four Inning Pedro of course!
Joe Girardi in 4th place. Still has a job. George must be in a coma.
George should call Willie. That would be all kinds of entertaining. The subway series would be awesome. The NYY's would continue to underachieve and we could restart the Willie Watch. Fun fun fun. Come on George I know you have one call left in you.

>Cool aritcle on Philly.com about the last days of Shea and Yankee.
Here’s an excerpt, and the last line is for Fred “Giants Who?” Wilpon.
Despite its warts, the unsightly chop shops that used to be visible before new Citi Field began to rise beyond the center-field wall, and the annoying cacophony of jet engines from nearby LaGuardia Airport that interrupted at-bats, Shea does have some history. It hosted four World Series. In 1965, it contributed to the cause of Beatlemania in the United States. Shea Stadium opened in 1964. The Mets have played more games there than the Brooklyn Dodgers played in beloved Ebbets Field.
>I observe that Joe Torre has a game and a half lead and Joe Girardi is in 4th place.
See you Sep 21st for the final game at Yankee Stadium. Will it be Girardi’s? Don’t scoff. Yankee managers don’t get to finish 4th.
