Winning Sandwiched By Sucking
After the way this season started, .500 feels like 5000.
For all the talk about the Padres *all star* line up, they have 1 win more than we do. That number is expected to rise to 2 after they tee off on Voggy tonight.
Speaking of Voggy, my thoughts about him are similar to my thoughts on Belt. Yes, he’s sucking but who do you want to have replace him? And all this *trade Belt* stuff is funny. If WE don’t want him, why would anyone else? His value is in the tank right now and if it started to rise none of you would want to trade him.
And McGehee sitting only works if you think Duffy is ready to play full time, out of position. Not sold on that yet.
3 straight shutouts — first time to do that in 3 years…
How about this one from tonight: With the Mets’ win over the Orioles, Bartolo Colon became the first player in major league history to beat one team while pitching for seven different teams.
I had totally forgotten Colon once pitched for the Expos, when a couple of co-workers reminded me the Indians traded him to Montreal for, among others, Cliff Lee.
Belt 1 for 2 (double), plus 2 walks, scored twice. Leave him alone, let him play…
