Wrong About Delgado
— dugoutcentral.com — I agree with Joe that the Amazin's playoff hopes have a lot to do with how Delgado... swings the bat from here on out. Though it is unrealistic to expect him to keep up the torrid pace, I do excpect him to continue to be a force in the middle of the Mets lineup. Speaking of talk radio buffoons, I can't take seriously the idea Delgado wasn't producing because Willie Randolph was the manager. (more) Wrong About Delgado

But, your closer is unavailable, and no one has really shone through as a viable replacement. ... (more) Early Morning Madness: Jerry pulled a Willie edition
