Hey Russ I must have missed it
but why on earth isn’t FMart with the Mets right now?
That's a good question.
He destroyed the ball during the spring, but management thought he’d be better serving time in AAA.

Its such a joke
him and Davis should be up and playing. Giving abs to Angel Pagan, Mike Jacobs, and Tatis just seems stupid. They need to get it in their heads that they are no where near the Phillies right now.
They want to ruin his development.

I'm not worried yet...
But that could change pretty quickly I might be. He obviously doesn’t have good control tonight. I thought I heard something about him changing his delivery this offseason… I can’t really see a difference but maybe that is what is affecting him.

My plan:
Put him on the DL with a bogus injury and call up Chacin.
Okay, maybe I just really want to see Chacin.
The Colorado Rockies aren't a team, they're an armada.
Chacin's not been too great this early season....
But I see your point

they were from opposite sides of the tracks
Derek Anderson is just as much a probowl quarterback as Jay Cutler
They must have thought he was going to be an umpire

Another great play by Tulo
Nice job getting the lead man.

Fielder choice
Tulo to Barmes from deep in the hole.
Caution: Colorado teams are better than they appear.
Got the lead man again...could have been worse.

Great D to get lead man twice in a row.
Derek Anderson is just as much a probowl quarterback as Jay Cutler
If this is his new delivery
I dunno how much I like it
