Thoughts – 2:40:17 – 5-22-12




I probably could have come up with a sexier title for this post, but sexy has been getting me in trouble lately.

The inspiration for this post is what David Rubin said earlier. There are a lot of questions right now involving this team and lately, it seems like an awful lot a games should have been won. Well, the fact may be we were lucky they were in the game as long as they were.

This team has a first baseman that can’t hit, a second baseman that can’t field, a shortstop, left fielder, and catcher on the DL, a centerfielder that should be in the minors, and a right fielder still trying to learn how to play there.

Add to that, erratic rotation pitchers, virtually no support for their ace, and a bullpen from hunger… and they’re still in a pennant race.

Oh yeah…

They have David Wright.

For now.

Folks, this is a division that could wind up having a last place team with a record over .500. None of this is being done without any of the future pitchers that we talk about here. This is good shit baseball and you need to just enjoy the hell out of it while it lasts.  Mike Baxter hitting .400?  Really?

My thoughts?

Ike Davis – I don’t care where he plays as long as he plays every day.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis – ditto

David Wright – stay away from him… don’t talk to him… don’t even look at him

Daniel Murphy – ditto

Johan Santana – just thank him every time you pass him

Josh Thole – sometimes it takes going away to be a appreciated

Ruben Tejada – tell him to take his time… we need him long term

Jason Bay – he definitely needs about 568 more opinions over the next 1 ½ years…

Lucas Duda – take him over to the World’s Fair site and hit him some grounders…

R A Dickey – you’re on your own here…
