It's nice to see Ryan Howard finally show up this season. I wonder what took him so long.
Rollins is the guy who really needs to get going - he had a nice game tonight, finally.
Phils should have won that last game vs. the Cardinals, too. Bruntlett misread a line drive and should have scored in the ninth, and then was called out a play later at the plate when it wasn't clear if Molina applied a tag. But obviously if Bruntlett doesn't screw up running the bases the play before it wouldn't have been an issue.

I was at the Phillies/ Sox game tonight....ugh. Timlin, I love the guy, but he needs to hang em soon. Bartolo too, not a good game, but whatever. Lester is going tomorrow, so I hope he does good. And JD Drew hitting the homerun to the horror of the Phillies fans made it worthwhile.
On a great side note. I was shopping at the Boarders book store in Center City Philly today, and I was in the DVD section, and the guy standing next to me taps on my shoulder ( I was wearing a Sox jersey). So I look up and he points to the guy next to him, and its Sean freaking Casey. It was awesome. I said hi, talked to him for a second, and let him shop. But it was an awesome experience.

Seriously.
Of course, the woes of a couple of pitchers is nothing compared to how I feel about the whole team's inability to hit with people on base.
There is a huge hole in your logic.
It requires someone to actually get on base.
Man, I hate the Phillies.
The AL took a beating tonight.

Looks like the Mets have decided that they might actually be able to salvage the season. They've fired manager Willie Randolph after he'd made the road trip to LA and won game 1 against the Angels.
Questionable timing, that.

Fuck the mickey mouse organization known as the NY Mets. Only a complete brunch of retards can screw up the most justified firing in the majors and turn Willie into a sympathic figure. Fuck them for the cowardly way they handled this and times like this make me feel ashamed to be a Met fan. This team is run by snakes and idiots and this move only shows how second class we are compared to the Yanks. At least Hal or Hank have the balls to fire a manager in the same room and not by email at 3 in the morning when hes in california. They also screwed this up by not firing Hojo too when this team`s offense is a joke. Now watch Omar the rat trade whats left in the minors and John Maine to get a vet on the downturn of his career to trade and make a playoff run.
Wow, I just lost all respect for the Mets organization.
If they were gonna can him, either do it during a long losing streak, or before the road trip.
They've just won 3 of 4 including one against first place Anaheim.
I wish they just pulled him aside on Sunday after the doubleheader and said, "Willie, you won't be making the trip with the team..."
The firing is at least partially justified, but the way they did it makes Willie look sympathetic and the Mets look cowardly. Not the spin they want I'm sure.

Wow, talk about stupid. I have no loyalty to Randolph one way or the other, but no manager deserves that kind of treatment.
I'm not a Met fan, but that pretty much sums up my feeling on the situation. What a lousy way to handle this situation from the Mets organization.
Hearing Minaya talk about Randolph's firing is ridiculous. He's tripping all over himself.
Every single response to this firing that I've read has been the same. THe only difference seems to be the adjectives used to describe it: cowardly, shameful, ill-timed, and so on.
Has anybody read a one of them that defended the move's timing, by someone other than an employee of the Mets? General consensus seems to be that firing him was understandable, though many do disagree with at least that part. But nobody at all seems to be able to muster up even a weak defense of the way it was handled.

*cries* Bad Mets! No cookies for them.
David Letterman sure loves to make fun of them...
