When was the meeting THIS MORNING ?
Forgot to tell him to " get nice and sharp and pitch well for us " IN APRIL. So Lou fans please EXPLAIN this INSANITY. Does Howry really have something on Lou or is he just blinded by stats from LAST year. How do you keep a guy who has pitched bad ALL YEAR on your post season roster. I know because he is a “vet” and Lou " trusts" him. This is the kind of thing that TERRIFIES me re post season but if it terrifies our starters enough they will all go 7 plus and keep Lou from making a SINGLE bullpen decision as he will just go on automatic to Marmol and Wood in the 8th and 9th.

If it had kept Howry OFF the roster my 3 hours in the rain would have been well worth it but I guess he has to fall in a dumpster
and injure himself to get off the roster.

What I'd like
In my selfish little world. We win and the Mets lose tonight. Mets win tomorrow, Sheets isn’t 100% and we win again. Brewers are desperate, use CC for 130 pitches or so to get the complete game on Sunday, but they win. Mets collapse again to tie the WC again forcing the tie breaker. Mets win that in an epic extra innings game. Then they can come here for their beat down.
But that’s just me

manny has been pretty nasty in LA
Fontenot may be the least likely looking home run hitter. He packs a big punch with his 5-foot-8 physique. Where's the power come from?

He wouldn't had caught the Kendall hit
but I agree on the first one.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

I will NEVER defend Soriano
never, ever, ever. But on this particular play, I’m not sure anybody else would’ve got to it faster. On the other hand, he missed the cutoff by about 4ft. But, moot point by now, I guess.

What if Marquis thanked Lou for allowing him to be on a postseason roster by pitching his ass off. And Howry seeing that gets inspired and brings out the second pitch he’s been working on all season?
