Manuel obviously has a different approach to the game and doesnt cater to his veteran players like Willie did. A key change that I find was the firing of Rick Peterson the pitching coach. Isnt it ironic that Rick leaves and Mike Pelfrey starts to find his stride.... Manuel has also showed signs of fire in his managing by getting tossed from games, which wasn´t rlly Willie......

Jerry looks rlly good right now because the bench is rlly stepping it up at the right time for this team, but like all bench players, when they play a lot theyre defencencies get shown. The team is getting excellent pitching and clean games. The bullpen hasnt given up a run in 19 and a third innings which is good. But its a marathon and not a sprint, so we need to see what we do.

Finally I came to the realization that the mets need to go after Matt Holliday for many reasons. Alou is done for the year due to a torn hamstring, Church continues to go on the DL due to post concussion symptoms. I dont believe the combo of Tatis and Endy will keep hitting like this. The Rockies are obviously trying to shop him. The mets are heading to a new stadium and what more buzz than bringing in a great hitter like Holliday. The lineup needs solid protection behind Beltran as well, because even with Delgados current productivity we need to start looking for a replacement. Finally it would shut fans up that Omar only likes hispanics.
