i definately agree with this guy.
If you look at the met's rotation, it's
Tom Glavine
Victor Zambrano
Pedro Martinez
Steve Traschal
Brian Bannister
i agreen that pedro is the man (but history says only to a certain point, then we don't know) . glavine is aging, so this early start he is on right now won't continue on for a long stretch. zambrano and traschal are unproven, and bannister is young and volatile.
one more solid pitching before the trade deadline wouldn't hurt this team. unless if the mets have some real top AAA pitcher on the works to make it big, then we will see.
but i can't deny that they're hitting lineup is very good. |

You are wise to realize this,you knoqw it is bad when you look at Bannister and realize Jamie Moyer has better stuff than him |

As of now, there's nothing too crazy going on in the Mets minor leagues. Though... they do have Henry Owens in A-ball (he's old for A-ball... but still), who has been RIDICULOUS as their closer. Last time I checked, he had pitched 5 innings with no hits, 1 BB, and 18 Ks. He'll be up to AA soon, probably early May. If he exceeds there, he'll probably jump right up to the Majors.
I really, really don't want to trade any prospects like Milledge to get a starter mid-season. |

| pitching is always the key. i think its too early to question the mets rotation although andruw jones set off some air raid alarms in canada thanks to pedro. the strength of the mets bullpen will really help take the pressure off the starters. if you guys get really desperate you can always make a trade with the cubs because they are unhappy with wood and prior. |

looks like derrick lee is going to miss a few games. but what i love is dusty baker's quote
"You never see anyone lose two guys on one play," Baker said. "But nobody cares if Lee's hurt or not, except us and the people in Chicago and the people who know him. We'll just have to adjust and just keep on adjusting."
this guy is just a complete jackass. everyone complains about ozzie being a controversial manager but what about dusty. this is the same guy that stole holy water to bless kerry wood's and mark prior's arms before last year. this is also the guy that said that black players are better during the summer because they were brought to this country to work in the heat. even though im not really a cubs fan, i hope they get rid of him because they can do a lot better without this guy. |

Julio Franco breaks the record (which had stood since 1930) for oldest player to homer in an MLB game
If he stays healthy, he'll have plenty of chances to extend the record
In the same game, Kaz Matsui hit a home run in his first at-bat of the season - the first to do so in each of his first three MLB seasons.
This one was an inside-the-park HR
Bad news for the Cubs, with Derrek Lee breaking 2 bones in his wrist. Unless his teammates can pick the slack, it will soon be 98 years and counting. |

| with the help of Coors Field (and possibly other things :p), Barry Bonds finally hits a home run, after 12 games and 30 at-bats |

So... remember when I mentioned Henry Owens in the Mets minor league system? I said he was at Single A... but it's Double A, which is much better and makes these stats I'm about to show even more eye popping (eye popping is an understatement):
13.1 ip, 4 hits, 5 walks, 2 ER, 31 Ks
:eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop:
That's insane. |

Pujols ties the April record with 13 home runs, with chances to break it
That means he's on pace for 78 HR for the season |

Nice pics, verndogs!
Ugh, the wheels are falling off the Braves. I am not too disappointed, as they have exceeded my expectations for so many seasons now (in the regular season, that is). I am picking Mets to win the World Series this year. Don't forget. |
