Poll: Do the Mets need to make a trade?
It's not going to be a huge, blockbuster deal, but I think Omar Minaya will land a capable player who will help this team along. For some reason, I think it's going to be Randy Winn from the Giants.

 Let me clear things up: The outfield is not OK; Endy Chavez has been great; The Mets need someone
Let me clear things up: The outfield is not OK; Endy Chavez has been great; The Mets need someone
I'm seeing a bunch of comments arguing my point I made early this morning, and I feel the need to defend my points. 1. Moises Alou is old, gets hurt way too much, and I am going to hold out no hope of him returning and helping the team for more than 16.2 seconds. 2. Endy Chavez has played very well in Alou's and Ryan Church's absence. He can easily continue to start in the OF with no problem. ...

I have one thought running through my head after the Mets and Johan Santana won 5-0 last night, and it has nothing to do with anything that happened in that game: Moises Alou got hurt again?!?! This is not a joke.

I cannot believe there is nothing out there
I was so exhausted from searching, I fell asleep at the computer. There really is nothing out there the Mets can get without giving up a lot. I checked out every team in the majors. Compared ERAs, what opposing batters are hitting against them, SOs, BBs, what I think they can do here at Shea Stadium, everything. I do not envy Omar Minaya and his staff. This was hard.

Early Morning Madness: Pearl jammin\
Last night's Mets game was far from Sad. It had a better Even Flow as the Mets went Deep three times over. They were Faithfull to the balls that were Given to Fly. The Mets have a Habit of Sometimes making me Smile. Maybe Manuel and Omar Minaya will want to put the Present Tense in the Rearviewmirror and start to Do The Evolution, shaking up the team a bit.
