ranitidine Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Piazza had two singles last night (Gabe and I were there. Our third game in five days.), a double and a dinger tonight. Do you think being moved to sixth in the order has relaxed him by reducing the pressure on him, thereby perhaps leading to more production? 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Schonfeld Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Ishii's record soars to 4-8; his era plummets to below 5.5. Amazin'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ranitidine Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 An excellent week. Now let's see what happens on the road trip. I'm happy to see that several callers into one of the TV talk shows agree with me about batting in the No. 6 spot taking pressure off Piazza. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Schonfeld Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Management let the trading deadline pass, indicating their belief that this team can make a run this year. Pitching is picking up. Benson in particular looked good over the weekend. Â But most of all, I love watching Jose Reyes. This kid is a ball player. Makes things happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Schonfeld Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Ishii's back to normal. Â Story is they're looking at Soriano, but Texas is asking for too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ranitidine Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 I would have no problem with their standing pat for now and leaving the prospects in the farm system alone so that they can continue to develop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Schonfeld Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 They are so good at getting my hopes up and then dashing them to pieces. This has been the very essence of the Mets, with certain exceptions both better and worse, since their first day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
