Why Watch?


You know things are bad when you let the lowest scoring team in the league score 8 runs in their cavernous ballpark. The Mets, if they haven't already, have become irrelevant. It was like the perfect storm: the Mets go out West and the Yankees are playing the Red Sox. The Mets might get as much airtime as the Rangers do during the winter in the next few days.

Livan Hernandez continues to be what we expected him to be out of spring training. The occasional decent start with the occasional clunker.

I like the move to put Bobby Parnell in the rotation. Why the hell not at this point? The starting pitching beyond Johan could use any possible contributors they can, especially those with potential. I just about done with Ollie and resigned to the fact that Maine is done, and not just for this season.

Angel Berroa being designated for assignment was a long time coming, and he was not here that long. No wonder Livan was offended when they pinch hit Angel for him back in that Arizona series. Unfortunately Anderson Hernandez will probably not be much better.

David Eckstein is still a pain in the ass.
