The Mets are 4 games below .500, are plagued with injuries etc... etc... Is anyone surprised? Well if you are, then you shouldn't be. Things happen... seemingly more often to the Mets, but all over sports. The Mets have performed beyond admirably, considering all of the many problems they've faced. So at this point does Terry Collins break out a nude dress-up doll of Fred Wilpon and take off a piece of clothing for every Met win? (Maybe better to put a piece on for every win and remove one for a loss) Or are the Mets just kidding themselves about 2011?
The FACT is, that 2011 has plenty of games left to play and who knows... maybe Lucas Duda will convert to Voodoo and start hitting HRs like he's Jobu's favorite son. You don't give up on the season because the Mets are not statistically likely to compete. But... there are some things you COULD do.
- Shut Down Davis: Get him the surgery and have him healthy to start Spring Training 2012.
- Leave Johan To Rehab: Rehab starts are fine but there is NO reason to rush him back for 2011. If all he did in 2011 was pitch in the minors and get back into shape, I'd be happy.
- Slow Reyes Down...: He's already lowered his price tag for this off-season TWICE with injuries but he's also the future of the franchise. Don't need to push him back early or too hard once he's back.
- View The Future: September Call-Ups are big. We need to see these kids play a little in the "Bigs." We don't need to see Willie Harris or Scott Hairston anymore.
- RELAX: 2011 was deemed a .500 team AT BEST and that is basically what we've gotten.

welcome back from va-ca
you are right... good team... great season... shit luck
I'm staying online til 1am to hopefully write about additional draft picks signed
signed one late last night - CF Bradley Marquis... Mets are allowing him to play football at Texas Tech and Mets get him for June and July...
I've got an email into Nimmo and others... we'll see
Mack
Mets agree to terms with 15th rd. pick Phillip Evans for $650K. I like what I see so far. A few other names to look out for during the rest of today would be (besides Brandon Nimmo) would be Montgomery, Robbins, Matthews, Cotton, Ake & Clapsaddle. We've already had a pretty solid draft, inking any of these remaining overslot guys would just be icing on the cake.
