Mets win....Behind reserves..

     Well Shawn Green isnt a reserve but should be in my mind after that horrible flop in Right field, How do you dive for the ball that clearly has no chance of being caught, Its mind boggling in my mind how Shawn has become such a defensive liability. Now granted he did make a great play on Tuesday But come on, How much is that going to save this miserable defense. Right field is supposed to be your power thrower, I.e Jeff Francouer or Vlad Guerrero. But we have Shawn Green there when they could and should upgrade in the offseason to a better hitter and fielder. I like Green, I dont mind his hitting some times but he is best served for a first basemens role or a DH role. The other real reserves, Castro and Marlon Anderson hit monster shots last night and pushed the Mets to a 8-5 victory over the Brew Crew out in Milwaukee. Castro i love, I think he is an amazing player this season and rightfully should be starting over Loduca until Loduca gets back to 100 percent because right now he is banged up and needs some long rest. Marlon Anderson is simply a reserve on this team. He is a decent bat off the bench, A much needed one over the likes of David Newhan and the former Julio Franco.

   The Mets bats were out last night and hopefully they can continue that today with a nice day game vs Milwaukee.  The Mets will look behind the pitching of Brian Lawrence today? Brian Lawrence, wasnt he the guy who won 15 games years back? Well anyhow he is trying to bring the mets to 2 straight victories and more importantly keep the pace over the Bravos in the Nl East.

   David Wright walked yet another 2 times as the pitchers on Milwaukee looked so scared of him yesterday. **** i would be too if i was facing him on a 3 night basis. Today David, Who loves Day games and long walks on the beach at night will look to add to his impressive season and look to show why he is the best third basemen in baseball.

   On a side note before i sign off, The single A afflilate of the Mets, The Savannah Sand Gnats are hosting, Lindsay Lohan Drunk Driving Awareness Night. Pretty clever in my mind. a few other approriate dates i would make would be, A) Michael Vick hanging night, B) Alex Rodriguez hair coloring kit night, C) Chad Pennington Hair night. D) Eric Mangini Man-genious night, Where Einstein will be in attendance, Reincarnated to hand over the throne to Mr Mangini. E) Jose Lima Hot Dog night, reffering to one of my old posts as him as a hot dog vendor. F) Jose Lima hot dog vendor Bobblehead night. G)Julio Franco Rogaine night. H) Ramon Castro size 99 pants night. I) David Wright Mvp Night.
