New York Mets: We ****ing Quit - Page 367 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

A lot of games you need to go to a lot of different guys because youre winning. Games like today should be games where you try and get guys a day off and let 1 or 2 finish the game. Jerry managers EVERY game like the mets are tied or up by a run. There aren't going to be enough 10 run games for him to get people days off. He is DESTROYING this bullpen.

hes managing for his life right now

Which is why i don't believe in firing people mid-season. Never have I think it's so silly to cater to idiot fan bases that just want to fire managers because their team sucks. Though I'd have fired Manuel before this year started, haha.

OK so it is established Mr. Met isn't Keith Hernandez, Ralph Kiner, or Mike Francessa.

I guess they figuring on Murphy is he sucks so badly at any position you give him full time you might as well just play him everywhere.

Damn if only Cano was playing a little bit more up the middle we'd be hearing how the pitch was too [insert :up down/whatever] and how Wright was trying to do that.

Honestly, this weekend off is awesome for the Mets. They can rest up for the rest of the schedule. I think the league was really nice to give it to us.
