Yes, a Mets game was airing in Canada! And it was in French no less. Had flashbacks of watching the Montreal Expos. They were using the ESPN video feed, but play by play and analysis was done in the native language. I guess I timed the trip here pretty well, seeing that RDS airs the Sunday night game of the week.
What was there to see anyway? Fernando Nieve, yet another replacement, has been added to the walking wounded. You can't make this stuff up. Tim Redding was Tim Redding. Everyone else gave up some runs. Even Bobby Parnell brought up some agita by walking two batters after retiring the first two in a game where the outcome was set.
Now comes the series we have all been waiting for. The last time the Mets played the Washington Nationals, we said "no more softies"- the schedule was going to be tough for the next month and half, and boy was it ever. This upcoming three game series with the Nats is going to reveal a lot. It's already a hopeless situation, but this matchup could be the final nail in the coffin.
Jon Heyman of SI.com believes the Mets rejected a deal from the Jays for RHP Roy Halladay, in return for OF Fernando Martinez, Bobby Parnell, Jon Niese and 17–year-old SS Ruben Tejada.
ReplyDelete“The Mets responded with a resounding no,” according to Heyman.
Haha, are you effin’ kidding me? Pull the trigger on this.. F-Mart is not major-league ready and he’s injury prone.. Parnell’s opponent AVG is .300+ (usually the pitcher should have the advantage over the hitter first time through the league)… Niese is maybe a 4th or 5th avg starter.. and that Tejada kid is too young to judge.. he’s probably suck like the rest of the Mets prospects.. what future are they trying to build with these aging veterans who have been injured all year… the future is NEXT YEAR! Pull the trigger, Omar..
