A la Pedro, those comments will come back to bite him on the ass. <BR/><BR/>As for the Mets, I'll hide behind my comment, "But what do I know?"

Compare to Keith Foulke's 7.23 ERA, 2-3 record, 11 saves in 13 chances.

Mien...Dino - I disagree with you on both fronts.<BR/><BR/>1. Mientkiewicz said those things presumably in the locker room after the game. The post game locker room is like the Jurassic park forest. Crawling with reporters and their notebooks and taperecorders searching for victimes just like the velociraptor hunting for Jeff Goldbloom. This is no different than Pedro saying "tip your vap and call the Yankees my daddy." Emotions happen. Players know that reporters will print what they say. So it was fair game.<BR/><BR/>2. As for the Mets - just remember that last year they were in contention in August, thus foolishly leading them to trade Kazmir for Zambrano. And went just 24-44 (or something like that) after that trade and the Benson trade. And that team was not very good.<BR/><BR/>Oh and one other note - was it not just one ear ago that we were talking about Graves being on pace to shatter the single season save record. and now he is released.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1116959046231807112005-05-24T14:24:00.000-04:002005-05-24T14:24:00.000-04:00I would argue those are "refreshing" comments from...I would argue those are "refreshing" comments from a pro-athlete. Although, I am not sure that the media is the right place to air those thoughts. Emotions are the very things that are easily misinterpreted and easily used out of context. I hope he turns it around, for his sake. <BR/><BR/>As for Randolph, David has a point, but I think that we'll see the Mets competitive until late August and maybe even into September. That is an improvement and I think it's in part to Beltran, Pedro, and certainly Randolph. <BR/><BR/>But what do I know?I-believe-in-Dinosaurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06898846088677890590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1116957305957634762005-05-24T13:55:00.000-04:002005-05-24T13:55:00.000-04:00Interesting comments from Minky.

He is a stand up guy from what I've read - the ball nonsense included since that was a CHB story from the beginning.<BR/><BR/>I am decidely mixed on Randolph. On some levels I think he has done okay. But the club is still .500.<BR/><BR/>They have beat the tar out of Cincy, Phil, Milw, Hou (who suck this year). And done not so well against StL, NYY, ATL. <BR/><BR/>with the additions of Pedro and Beltran and the emergence of Wright maybe they should be a little better? <BR/><BR/>But maybe not - he has NO bullpen. They are right about at their Pythagorean wins (one under 23 versus 24 expected wins).<BR/><BR/>I think the jury will be out for another few months.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.com
