That is my point exactly!!! Why is he still on the team? I do not understand why they don't buy him out and send him packing. He has produced SQUAT since his arrival to the Big Apple. Hell, he's been hurt 3/4 of the time.

[Dave128]

Unfortunately, I don't think the Mets have the money to buy him out. Send him down? There has to be someone in AAA that is a least just as good as him and not prone to getting attacked by outfield walls.

God forbid, somebody play hard while wearing a Met uniform!
For all the BS flung around here, about David Wright "Playing the game the right way", not one ounce of respect for Bay?
I guess in the end, it's only about the numbers!

You are right Dave...no money left after we bought out Perez, Castillo, and other shitty contracts. Hell, I'd rather see Nieuwenhuis get the playing time, at least he's hitting over .200 and has more HR & RBI than Bay.

Numbers???? This is what $18,125,000 gets you (Bays salary this year)...AVG: .157, HR: 5, RBI: 8, OBP: .248???

Bay has been a complete bust in a Mets uniform.

No respect from me at all!! Since you're so adamant about respecting him...want him to be the Yankees left fielder?

You're talking apples and oranges. Bay hasn't been on the field for a full season yet in a Met uniform. The Red Sox got rid of him becuse he was past his prime. When I heard that Bay was signed I talked to a B-I-L that is a Sox fan. He said "good luck with that". It was a mistake from the beginning to sign him. He runs into walls and goes on the DL. I think he lacks depth perception or something. Wright gets hit in the head by a 90mph fast ball and is back on the field within a week with a humogous helmet to protect his melon. Wright breaks his finger and misses one game. Hell, the only way to get Wright off the field is for him to break his back. Bay is the most rested Met on the active roster, he should be cleaning up on the field and with his bat. In my opinion, Wright has earned his paycheck and Bay has not. So nope, no respect for Bay.

Mets beat the Giants 9-1 this afternoon.

[kelmac07]

Mets get beat by the Giants 3-1 as the offense fails to show up. Dickey pitched 7 string innings, giving up four hits and two earned runs...but still takes the loss. Three untimely double plays and a costly error cost us the game.

And the good news...Dickey takes over the NL lead in strikeouts and Philly got beat (as they stay in the cellar).

[kelmac07]

Mets beat the Giant last night 6-2.

[kelmac07]

Mets drop todays game 7-3 and the series to the Padres.

[Dave128]

Matt Harvey had a tough game.

[kelmac07]

Mets drop another one to the Marlins...as the slide continues.

[kelmac07]

Mets are getting hammered by the Marlins...stick a fork in 'em fellas...they are done.

Combine the above:
That should've been the first post in this thread.
Then the TOE should've locked it up, as we all knew how it was going to go!

[Dave128]

Could be true, but it's still not right.

[kelmac07]

Not happy about it...but I know when to call it. Very surprised we lasted this long.

Hey, we'll always have the first half-season.

[kelmac07]

13-0...REALLY??? You gotta be sh*tting me that we couldn't score one damn run. Bring up the entire Double A team for the rest of the season. Since the All Star break, we have got to have the worst record. These guys have lost their heart. At least play for some self respect.

[Dave128]

An absolute embrassment. Nine losses in a row at home. Bay as a pinch hitter? What kind of crap is that? It's getting tough to stay interested in the games this half.

[Dave128]

Mets beat Maimi 6-1. Dickey goes 9 innings and records win number 15. Reyes' hitting streak ends.
