My teacher just put up the review sheet for our final and it might as well have said, "You're fucked!"

I really hate the Flyers, but I'm impartial on the rest. The Pirates have always sucked since I was about three so I really don't have a passionate hate for many other baseball teams. I don't really care much about the Eagles - they're in the NFC and they suck.
I'm a Wizards fan. Don't care about the Sixers either way.

Caron's one of my favorite players. I wish I had something to root for. Fuck sports.

Willie Randolph wondered to reporters why the DBack fans didn't boo their team when the Mets came in and took 2 of 3. Willie, they went to the NLCS last year, have a ridiculously young and talented team, and oh yeah, had the best record in baseball at the time. You are such a fucking idiot.

I love it. Pedro gets hurt, Delgado sucks, Reyes, Beltran, Wright start out the year like shit, the pen lets them down countless time in the first twenty games, and it's Willie's fault.

He's got a lineup where like nobody hits .280, and they're 16-14, who gives a shit, they shouldn't be any better (w)right now. Get the fucking bats going and then complain about Willie poo.

Na, you're actually way off. 1) I wasn't even saying it's Willie's fault. I was saying that it is hilarious that he doesn't recognize the difference between the Diambondbacks situation and the Mets situation. 2) Well, I know you've watched enough Met games to know he is an awful, awful manager, right? Seriously? You don't think he's awful? He's brutal. He's in love with veterans, he pulls his starters too soon, he pitches Jorge Sosa in tie games, he is incapable of filling out a lineup, he botched a double switch TWICE in 2005 which I will never forgive him for because it was embarrassing as hell to the team, he thinks the entire pen with the exception of Wagner are situational relievers so the team throws everyone every game, he burns out everyone. He's not a good manager at all, he really isn't. I think the manager is pretty overrated in general, but he is very bad.

I don't blame him for last year, I don't blame anyone. But he's not a good manager.

On Sunday Micah Owings was called safe at first when he was so clearly out, and it was the 8th inning of a tie game, and Willie's "rant" was described by someone on Metsblog as "Willie Randolph sleep walks out to the umpire before going back to bed" something like that, it was great. The Mets could be called out on strikes on an intentional walk and he'll be OK with it.

I figured you'd say the pulling starters too soon thing, which I'll give you, completely true. And yeah, he's not great with the pen, but what do you want him to do? His best reliever can't pitch to righties, and Heilman's been awful. Wagner pitches the ninth. Should he go Schoenweis in every spot? Help me out here. They have a legitimately terrible pen right now, Oliver blows, Pedro's out, Pelf/Figueroa...do/did those guys even pitch five innings a game? They are what they should be right now. He pulled Oliver and Maine too early a month ago, fine, but their offense has been really bad.
I don't think he's a good manager, but I actually would say the Mets are almost overachieving right now.

He's not working with much in the pen, but he doesn't help the situation. Wagner refuses to do anything but pitch the 9th, so that's out, and that isn't Willie's fault. He has turned Feliciano into a situational lefthander because of a bad first month against righties, when Feliciano was dominant for a year and a half. He lets Sosa pitch with a 6 ERA in the 8th inning of tie games because he pulls Feliciano against righties, as if Sosa is any better. Sosa should be the longman, and nothing more. On Sunday when he put in Sosa in the 8th, the Mets only had Schow and Wagner left in a tie game on the road.. what? What is that? What if Sosa comes up in a big spot? You can't pinch hit, because you already put him in. It was baffling.
But I do agree that the pen is awful right now. Heilman's got a head problem, Joe Smith is really awful, Duaner has absolutely nothing and shouldn't be in the bigs. But, the pen has been great before, and he was always awful at working it. He's bailed out because they've all sucked except Wagner/Show/Feliciano (to lefties), but historically he can't handle a pen.
And yeah, everyone gets pulled too early. And Castillo batted 2nd too long. You'd think that he'd stretch his starters out a little bit more because he has such a weak pen, but no, that isn't an option. Once the 6th inning comes, it's Joe Smith time, with that flat slider and that awful fastball.
